An artist whose work is in the Courtauld collection, including an image of resting farm labourers and horses, another of young boys playing marbles. He attended the Royal College of Art alongside Moore and Hepworth. The earliest picture in the Borchard Collection, the self portrait was painted in the year that Coxon went to study at the Royal College of Art. It looks now a period piece, delightfully so: a handsome, fair-headed, pink-faced, young man sucking on his pipe through full, heightened-ruby lips, possibly contemplating his Post-Impressionistic future. The touchingly solemn look of Coxon’s early self portrait may perhaps be partly accounted for by terrible hardships he had seen and endured serving with the Cavalry in Palestine in the First World War.
