[§] DAME LAURA KNIGHT D.B.E., R.A., R.W.S. (BRITISH 1877-1970)MAKE-UP 1925. TCHERNECHEVA.Etching with drypoint, from an edition of 18, signed26cm x 20.5cm (10.25in x 8in)Note: Dame Laura Knight was one of the most distinguished and popular female artists working in 20th century Britain. Knight was made a Dame in 1929 and in 1936 became the first woman to be awarded full membership to the Royal Academy of Arts highlighting her pioneering role in raising awareness and respect for future women artists. Knight's artistic career was exceptional from the beginning, she joined the Nottingham School of Art at the young age of thirteen where she went on to specialise in the figurative, realist tradition; a testament to her innate artistic talent as up until 1893 female students were not allowed to draw nude models from life.Knight worked in a range of media including oils, watercolours, engraving and etching and is celebrated for giving an insight into the lives of individuals who lived on the fringes of society such as circus performers and ballet dancers. This collection of etchings showcases Knight's unique ability to gain the trust of these communities which facilitated her immersive working method that often involved Knight living alongside the individuals she drew. The etching Zebras shows how Knight documented the popular leisure activities of the early twentieth century, in this case by spending an intensive period of four months travelling around the country with Bertram Mills's circus recording the lives of itinerant circus performers.As well as popular entertainment, Knight also engaged with cutting edge performances in the art world; the drypoint etching Make Up is a portrait of Lubov Tchernicheva, the prima ballerina in the Ballet Russes's debut matinée peformance of Cleopatra at the London Colisseum. Sergei Diaghilev's Ballet Russes was instrumental in introducing European modernism to Britain and captured the imagination of many artists with Coco Chanel and Pablo Picasso designing costumes and French avant garde artists like Henri Matisse designing the set productions. However, instead of focusing on the drama of the performances themselves Knight was permitted backstage access to capture the unseen and private lives of the dancers. In Knight's autobiography Oil Paint and Grease Paint she highlights just how privileged she was recalling that ''No outsider but myself then haunted the stage''. This etching reveals the close relationship Knight shared with the performers; here she observes Tchernicheva carefully applying khol eyeliner for her role as Cleopatra in which she wore an Egyptian headdress designed by Sonia Delaunay. Knight stated 'there was to be no conversation; it was to be as if I did not exist' and it was this unobtrusive approach which enabled Knight to capture such quiet contemplative moments and that gives her etchings their intimate appeal.

FREDERICK LANDSEER MAUR GRIGGS R.A., R.E. (BRITISH 1876-1938)THE ALMONRYEtching, signed26cm x 18cm (10.25in x 7in)Provenance:Allinson Gallery, Storrs, ConnecticutNote: This edition is 82 in this state. Note: Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs R.A., R.E. was one of the leading etchers and illustrators of the twentieth century whose meticulous technique and eye for architectural detail was unparalleled. Griggs studied at the Slade School of Art before going on to work as an architectural draftsman at C.E. Mallow's architecture firm from 1896 to 1898 where he was especially valued by leading architects of the Arts and Crafts fraternity for his skills in persepctive. In 1903 Griggs settled in the village of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, the centre of William Morris's Arts and Crafts Movement. Griggs was heavily influenced by the movement and his passion for locality and knowledge of vernacular architecture can be seen in this collection of etchings which feature rural townscapes depicted to such a high level of detail that every crumbling brick can be seen, transporting the viewer to a bygone age. Griggs worked within the English Romantic tradition and his etchings have a similar nostalgia to Samuel Palmer's pastoral landscapes but instead visualise the grandeur of England's historic architecture leading critics to describe his atmospheric compositions as ''poetic''. Figures in The Almonry wander in a landscape dominated by monumental Gothic facades, pointed arches and spires which reach skyward out of the frame while other etchings like Sellenger are unpopulated, leaving the crumbling buildings preseved in a tranquil silence. These etchings reflect a desire to preserve the gothic and medieval architecture of England's communities which Griggs feared to be endangered as a result of the Reformation of the sixteenth century, the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century and the First World War of the twentieth century. Griggs's highly wrought etchings were initially printed commercially but after finding the results unsatisfactory he designed his own etching press in 1921 to prove his plates which were then printed on paper selected to complement the subject matter of each individual composition. This high level of craftsmanship identified Griggs as one of the leading figures in the British Etching Revival resulting in him being one of the few etchers awarded full membership at the Royal Academy in 1931. Griggs was also a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings which aimed to repair buildings with the ultimate goal of saving them from demolition and etchings like Memory of Clavering highlight Griggs's sensitivity to the endangered place of British architecture in the modern world. Memory of Clavering exemplifies the visionary technique Griggs later developed as the copper etching was executed fifteen years after he visited the town in Essex with friends in 1919. One friend later stated in a letter to R. L. Hine that during the visit Griggs only made "one or two very rough but decisive sketches on the backs…of old letters which he had in his pocket'' affirming his remarkable ability to immortalise a town in such realistic detail from memory.

FREDERICK LANDSEER MAUR GRIGGS R.A., R.E. (BRITISH 1876-1938)MEMORY OF CLAVERINGEtching, signed in pencil14.5cm x 23.5cm (5.75in x 9.25in)Note: Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs R.A., R.E. was one of the leading etchers and illustrators of the twentieth century whose meticulous technique and eye for architectural detail was unparalleled. Griggs studied at the Slade School of Art before going on to work as an architectural draftsman at C.E. Mallow's architecture firm from 1896 to 1898 where he was especially valued by leading architects of the Arts and Crafts fraternity for his skills in persepctive. In 1903 Griggs settled in the village of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, the centre of William Morris's Arts and Crafts Movement. Griggs was heavily influenced by the movement and his passion for locality and knowledge of vernacular architecture can be seen in this collection of etchings which feature rural townscapes depicted to such a high level of detail that every crumbling brick can be seen, transporting the viewer to a bygone age. Griggs worked within the English Romantic tradition and his etchings have a similar nostalgia to Samuel Palmer's pastoral landscapes but instead visualise the grandeur of England's historic architecture leading critics to describe his atmospheric compositions as ''poetic''. Figures in The Almonry wander in a landscape dominated by monumental Gothic facades, pointed arches and spires which reach skyward out of the frame while other etchings like Sellenger are unpopulated, leaving the crumbling buildings preseved in a tranquil silence. These etchings reflect a desire to preserve the gothic and medieval architecture of England's communities which Griggs feared to be endangered as a result of the Reformation of the sixteenth century, the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century and the First World War of the twentieth century. Griggs's highly wrought etchings were initially printed commercially but after finding the results unsatisfactory he designed his own etching press in 1921 to prove his plates which were then printed on paper selected to complement the subject matter of each individual composition. This high level of craftsmanship identified Griggs as one of the leading figures in the British Etching Revival resulting in him being one of the few etchers awarded full membership at the Royal Academy in 1931. Griggs was also a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings which aimed to repair buildings with the ultimate goal of saving them from demolition and etchings like Memory of Clavering highlight Griggs's sensitivity to the endangered place of British architecture in the modern world. Memory of Clavering exemplifies the visionary technique Griggs later developed as the copper etching was executed fifteen years after he visited the town in Essex with friends in 1919. One friend later stated in a letter to R. L. Hine that during the visit Griggs only made "one or two very rough but decisive sketches on the backs…of old letters which he had in his pocket'' affirming his remarkable ability to immortalise a town in such realistic detail from memory.
