Biography

Benjamin Walter Spiers' still life watercolors are densely packed with objects that test his skill for mimetic detail and reveal his antiquarian interests.

Some of his compositions depict the interiors of his favorite antique shops in Wardour Street, Soho, London, while one of his largest pieces may even depict a room in his own Bayswater home. The frequency with which he reuses objects suggests that he owned them or had regular access to them.

Spiers' still lifes contrast with the type established by William Henry Hunt, commended by John Ruskin, in which nature is represented modestly and in miniature by a bird's nest, a mossy bank, and a few nuts, fruits, or flowers.

Spiers can be seen as the leading Victorian exponent of another, much more established tradition: displaying accumulated man-made collections of battered, mismatched objects that often seem to undermine the usual intention of such displays to confirm the wealth of conspicuous consumers.

His paintings concentrate not on monetary worth, but on associative value, a quality perhaps best conveyed by books.
