Philip de László, a Special Display
27 March - 5 September 2010, National Portrait Gallery, London
We are delighted to announce that a display of nine of de László’s finest portraits (including the famous portrait of Her Late Majesty The Queen Mother, featured above) is on show at the National Portrait Gallery.  This coincides with the completion of the indexing of the de László Archive (more than 15,000 letters, in seven different languages, which are now in the Heinz Archive and Library). It has taken some 5 years for the catalogue raisonné team worldwide to index them over the internet from scanned facsimiles. 

For a web-resource about the de László Archive that includes details of the collection, provides links to other sources of information and features a selection of correspondence relating to portraits in the National Portrait Gallery’s collection, click here

A 32-page booklet by Caroline Corbeau-Parsons, with forewords by Damon de Laszlo and Sandy Nairne accompanies the display. To purchase, click here

In 1926 Philip de László was given a 16mm Movie Camera by George Eastman, of Eastman-Kodak, after he painted him that year. For the next 11 years de László, his family and studio assistant filmed his life and his working practice.
The film has been rescued and digitised, and an hour-long selection will be shown, introduced by Sandra de Laszlo, Director of the de László catalogue raisonn é .

The de Laszlo Archive Trust was set up to research, catalogue and administer the paintings and archive of Philip Alexius de László. This is the first time an authoritative assessment of Philip de László’s output has been made available online and I hope it proves to be a useful and accessible resource for all those interested in the artist. We anticipate that this website will evolve into a full record of de László’s life and work.

Director and Executive Editor, de László Catalogue Raisonné
