SECOND HALF 20THC This selection continues the run of McKenzie's work already on this site much of which has been sold. McKenzie trained at the Slade under Tonks, but remained only semi-professional all his life. Nearly all his spare time was devoted to painting and recording life in the City of London and in the south east where he lived. His work is recorded in many collections including the London Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. He was working almost up to the time of his death at the great age of 96.
