* IAN FLEMING RSA RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1906 -1994), SHELTERS IN A TENEMENT LANE etching, signed and titled in pencil 21cm x 15cm Mounted, framed and under glass Provenance: Exhibited Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition (Edinburgh) 1942 catalogue number 502. Note: Ian Fleming was a notable artist and engraver and played an important role in the Scottish art world. He was successively a lecturer at Glasgow School of Art for many years and Warden of Patrick Allen-Fraser Art College at Hospitalfield and Principal of Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen. He was a brilliant etcher, a practice he continued into old age. Fleming was born in Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. He began printmaking at art school, and Glasgow Art Gallery bought two of his prints while he was still a student. In 1928, Fleming made his first engraving, inspired by Charles Murray (see lot 114). Murray's influence over Fleming was considerable and Fleming learned quickly, soon becoming a highly-skilled engraver. While lecturing at the Art School from 1931, Fleming met William Wilson, the Edinburgh-based printmaker and stained glass artist. They became friends, and their work was mutually influential. He also taught Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde ("the two Roberts") during this time. Fleming produced detailed etchings and engravings of Glasgow, the Scottish Highlands and the Continent.
* CHARLES MURRAY (SCOTTISH 1894 - 1954), CHRYSANTHEMUMS oil on board 64cm X 44cm Framed (original) Provenance: Exhibited: City of Bradford Art Gallery, Cartwright Memorial Hall, Jubilee Exhibition 1954, Exhibit No. 770 (label verso). James Bourlet & Sons label verso no H 2611. Artist's label verso, partially obscured by owners (loan) label: Mr E Grierson, Greystead, Tarset, Hexham, Northumberland. Note: Charles Murray's oil paintings rarely appear at auction and, as he often left his work unsigned, some invariably aren't attributed to him. In October (20th) 2018 Tennants (Leyburn) offered "Crinan, Scotland" a small (23.5 x 35cm) watercolour with Leicester Galleries (London) "Artists of Fame & Promise Exhibition" provenance, which sold for £1600 (hammer). Charles Murray was born in Aberdeen and studied at the Glasgow School of Art for three years. He served with the ‘White Army’ in Russia from 1918-20, joining a diverse group of counter-revolutionary forces who fought against the Bolsheviks. On his return to Glasgow, Murray won the highly coveted "Prix de Rome" for etching and studied at the British School in Rome from 1922-25. He travelled extensively in Europe but came back to Scotland in 1926 to teach engraving at the Glasgow School of Art, and later lived in Leeds and Middlesex. He produced paintings and etchings in a style influenced by Mannerism. Murray had his first major one-man show at The Leicester Galleries (London) in 1946 and another at Batley Art Gallery in 1950. There was a Memorial exhibition at Temple Newsam House (Leeds Museum & Art Galleries) in 1955 and an Edinburgh International Festival show at the Merchant Company Hall in 1977. Murray's paintings have always attracted academic acclaim and the Tate bought one of his paintings in 1940. Thirty of his paintings are held in UK Public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Art Galleries, the Arts Council Collection (Southbank Centre), Bradford Museum & Galleries, the Ferens Art Gallery, The Hepworth, Leeds Art Gallery and Museums, Kirklees Museum & Galleries, Sheffield Museums, Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums and Tate (London).
* ROBERT SARGENT AUSTIN RA PRWS PRE (BRITISH 1895-1973) THE BALLET DRESS watercolour on paper, signed; titled verso 52.5cm x 59cm Mounted, framed and under glass Note: Robert Austin's watercolours very rarely appear at auction, anywhere. Note 2 : Robert Sargent Austin’s talent was first recognised publicly, as a precocious eight year old, when he successfully submitted work to the Royal Drawing Society in his hometown of Leicester. His friends would later say that art became to him as essential as breathing, and this early success marked the beginning of a daily drive to draw, paint and etch that would mould him into the artistic force that he became. Natural talent led to his enrolment at the Leicester Municipal School of Art in 1909, from where he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in 1914. In London, serious, patient, comprehensive study of life drawing was the first discipline taught and can be singled out as the experience that most influenced his uncompromising attitude to learning and practising art. The First World War interrupted his progress; he served as a gunner in the Royal Artillery from 1915-1919, however the delay meant that he became a pupil of the famous etcher, Sir Frank Short, when he resumed his studies. Robert Sargent Austin’s career was notable for the ease with which he perfected different artistic techniques, and his etchings under Sir Frank Short were so proficient that he won a scholarship to the British School in Rome in 1921. In Rome he befriended and worked with Charles Murray (see lot 114). This was an unrivalled opportunity to be immersed in Italian artistic culture and if his methodology was formed at the Royal College of Art, then his style was most influenced by this period of discovery. Through extensive travel around the country and careful study of the landscape and paintings, particularly the prints of the Old Masters, he found a source of influence that perfectly suited his own exacting practice of art. Additionally this also convinced him that line engraving was more suited to his temperament than etching. Mastering this new technique with ease he returned to England in 1926, a married man since 1923, and took up the post of Professor of Engraving at the Royal College of Art. He held this post until 1944 and the teaching of art quickly became as important to him as its practice. Pupils remember him as tough, frightening and often brutally honest, but found him an inspirational, dedicated teacher who would devote himself to students that showed enthusiasm. He was interested only in the execution of art; when he was given his new college name-plate he hung it over his lavatory door at home, highlighting a lifelong disinterest in the aggrandisement of ‘Art’ and its multifarious pretensions. A former pupil remembers him saying “We can talk about Art later, let’s find out how to draw first.’ He was promoted to the role of Head of Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art in 1948, but turned down the position of Principal as he wanted to remain an artist not an administrator. Robert Sargent Austin’s purchase of a studio at Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk, in 1935 and the lives of his three children most influenced the content of his output. The Norfolk wildlife fascinated him (he particularly adored birds) and the landscape he found there stirred him to paint; his family remember him rising before dawn most days to capture the summer light at its purest between five and seven. The activities of his growing children, both in Norfolk and London, were his other constant source of artistic subject matter as the selection in this show demonstrates. During the Second World War he was appointed official war artist to the Royal College of Art at Ambleside and his art became temporarily dominated by the Woolwich Arsenal, nurses, fighter pilots and other workers, particularly women, whom he felt were under represented in the War effort. The Imperial War Museum now holds thirty four of these pieces. The 1940s and 50s were dominated by a series of prestigious appointments and commissions in recognition of his prodigious talent. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1948, made President of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1956 and asked to design the Bank of England’s new bank notes in the same year. In 1962 he was also elected President of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers. Essentially a humble man, he remained devoted to art for its own sake, uninterested in selling it or even receiving approval from others. Despite this, his pictures are now held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Fitzwilliam Museum, The British Museum and The Ashmolean Museum and a huge retrospective of his work was held at the latter in 1980.
ARTHUR WILLIAM HEINTZELMAN (AMERICAN 1891 - 1965), LA VIERGE ET L'ENFANT JESUS (Smith 155) drypoint etching on cream laid paper, 1929; edition of 70, signed in pencil 30cm x 23cm Mounted, framed and under glass Note: Born in Newark, New Jersey, Arthur William Heintzelman was a painter, etcher, copyist, teacher, and curator. Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, he first studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he subsequently taught, and also in Europe. In 1921, the Heintzelmans moved to Paris and made their home in France, subsequently moving to Switzerland in 1931 and remaining there until 1934, when they returned to the United States. Already widely respected as a printmaker prior to his departure for Europe, he became internationally famous during his years abroad and was - and is - regarded as one of the greatest etchers of the Twentieth Century. During his years in Paris, Heintzelman met Eugène Delatre, who became his printer for the remainder of his stay in Europe, and who taught Heintzelman the intricacies of fine art printmaking for which his atelier was justly famous. In appreciation for his contribution to French art and culture, Heintzelman was named to the Legion of Honour by the French government. Following his return to the United States, Heintzelman became the first Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library and served there from 1941 to his retirement in 1960. Thanks to his close relationship with the Delatre family, Heintzelman coordinated the gift of the comprehensive collection of prints by both Auguste and Eugène Delatre to the Boston Public Library. He was succeeded as Keeper of Prints by Sinclair Hitchings. Heintzelman also headed the Fine Arts department of the Rhode Island School of Design. He was awarded numerous international prizes for his etchings, and his works are found in museum collections through the US and Europe. Heintzelman belonged to numerous professional associations both in the US and abroad. He lived and worked in Boston, Marblehead, and Rockport, Massachusetts and in New York City. He died at Rockport, Massachusetts. The works of Heintzelman are documented in The Prints of Arthur Wm. Heintzelman, the catalog raisonné compiled by Donald Eugene Smith and published by the Boston Public Library (USA) in 2004.
A SILVER CHILD'S CUP, ANTHONY HAWKSLEY, LONDON, 1972 the spot hammered compressed baluster body with an acid etched oval of a pair of dancing teddy bears, on spreading rim foot 8cm diameter, 181gr (5oz) Anthony Paton Hawksley (1921-1991) trained at the Maidstone School of Art and the Royal College of Art. His work is represented in The Pearson Silver Collection, the Victoria and Albert Museum and many Oxford colleges. This cup (or bowl) was probably retailed by Payne & Son of Oxford, with whom Hawksley enjoyed a long association.
