{"product_id":"alarm-clock-robert-spencer","title":"Alarm Clock - Robert Spencer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA quiet, impressionistic study of domestic life by American painter Robert Spencer, capturing a candid moment of morning routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Spencer, a member of the New Hope School of American Impressionism, often turned his attention to the quiet, domestic realities of working-class life. In this work, titled Alarm Clock, the artist captures a fleeting moment of morning transition. The composition focuses on a man sitting up in bed, his expression weary, while a woman stands before him, her posture suggesting the start of the day. The scene is rendered with a loose, painterly application of pigment that characterises much of Spencer's output from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette relies on muted ochres, soft yellows, and deep blues, creating a sense of intimacy within the bedroom setting. Spencer avoids the polished finish of academic painting, opting instead for visible brushwork that conveys the texture of the bed linens and the rough quality of the interior walls. The light source appears soft and diffused, typical of the early morning hours, casting gentle shadows that define the figures without harsh contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the sun-drenched, idyllic scenes often associated with the New Hope painters, this piece offers a glimpse into the private, unvarnished routines of daily existence. The presence of the alarm clock on the bedside table serves as a functional anchor for the narrative, marking the intrusion of time upon the domestic sphere. Spencer's approach to the human figure is direct and unidealised, reflecting his interest in the authentic experiences of his subjects. The work remains a study in light, mood, and the quiet rhythms of life, presented with the characteristic sensitivity that defined Spencer's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robert Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58729505816911,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58729566077263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58729566110031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58729566142799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58729566175567,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58729566208335,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58729566241103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58729566273871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58729566306639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58729566339407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58729566372175,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58729566404943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Alarm-Clock_Poster_CompositorV1_1788987183282.jpg?v=1788987734","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/alarm-clock-robert-spencer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
