Tina

The artist Joseph Henry Lynch, slightly better recognised by his signature, J.H. Lynch, is almost entirely unknown – even though his paintings were once so ubiquitous you could buy them in Boots (or the prints, at least). Such was the case for his most remembered work, Tina, named for the voluptuous, kohl-eyed subject, painted in the saturated, sensual style of a B-movie poster.

Tina would go on to decorate the Abigail’s Party-style living rooms of aspirational urbanites in the 1960s onwards, mass-produced in its thousands (some, more generous estimates number millions) alongside Lynch’s other work, similar in both style and subject matter . I have find memories of a copy on my family home in the late 60"s.
