Francis Newton Souza (1924-2002)Untitled (Abstract Portrait Head) signed and dated 'Souza 64' upper leftball point pen and mixed media on canvas, framed 15.2 x 21cm (6 x 8 1/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, UK. Acquired from Christies, The Art of Souza: Property from the Estate of Francis Newton Souza, 9th June 2010, lot 145.'Souza has given to art a great deal more than he has taken from it. His painting is intensely personal, to the point of being esoteric. To appreciate it, one has to participate in certain preoccupations and fears which make his visual distortions explicable and sympathetic...If he was creating monsters, probably no one would be troubled; but because his images are clearly intended to be human, one is compelled to ask why his faces have eyes high up in the forehead, or else scattered in profusion all over the face; why he paints mouths that stretch like hair combs across the face, and limbs that branch out like thistles. Souza's imagery is not a surrealist vision - a self-conscious aesthetic shock - so much as a spontaneous re-creation of the world as he has seen it, distilled in the mind by a host of private experiences and associations.' (Edward Mullins, Souza, Anthony Blond Ltd, 1962, p.38-39.)Francis Newton Souza, a trailblazing artist of the 20th century, left an indelible mark on the world of modern Indian art. His distinctive style, marked by bold colours, striking compositions, and a fearless exploration of the human form, made him one of India's most celebrated and controversial artists. Born on April 12, 1924, in Saligao, Goa, Souza's life journey was a tumultuous one, marked by artistic triumphs and personal tribulations.Early Life and EducationSouza was born into a Roman Catholic family in Portuguese-occupied Goa. His early years were fraught with challenges, including poverty and the loss of his father at a young age. Despite these hardships, Souza displayed a remarkable talent for drawing, catching the attention of his teachers and local artists. Encouraged by their support, he pursued formal art education at the Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai, where he honed his skills and developed a strong foundation in classical European art techniques.The Progressive Artists' GroupAfter completing his formal education, Souza moved to London in 1949, where he was exposed to the avant-garde art scene. He soon became a prominent member of the 'Progressive Artists' Group,' a collective of artists who aimed to break free from the confines of traditional Indian art and embrace contemporary, international influences. Souza's work from this period is characterized by a blend of Western modernism and a distinct Indian sensibility.Artistic Style and ThemesSouza's style was bold and unapologetic. He painted with a sense of urgency, often using thick impasto layers and vibrant colours to depict his subjects. His subjects ranged from portraits and landscapes to religious and erotic themes. Souza's fascination with the human form was a recurring motif in his work, which he often rendered in an abstract and distorted manner, exploring themes of desire, sexuality, and spirituality.Controversy and CritiqueSouza's provocative art often courted controversy, and his provocative themes led to both admiration and condemnation. His bold depictions of sexuality and religion sometimes raised eyebrows, even leading to legal troubles. Despite these challenges, Souza remained uncompromising in his artistic vision, and his work continued to garner attention on the international stage.International SuccessIn the 1950s and 1960s, Souza's reputation as a groundbreaking artist grew beyond India's borders. He exhibited extensively in London, New York, and other major art capitals, earning critical acclaim and commercial success. His paintings were acquired by major museums and private collectors worldwide, solidifying his status as a leading figure in contemporary art.Later Life and LegacySouza's later years were marked by personal struggles, including health issues and financial difficulties.

Abraham Christopher Gregory Suriarachi Amarasekara (1883-1983)Portrait of Tagore signed 'A.C.G.S Amarasekara 1934' and Rabindranath by Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali upper leftoil on canvas, framed55.6 x 75.6cm (21 7/8 x 29 3/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Florida.There is an inscription to reverse, 'painted by A.G.S. Amarasekara at Colombo when the Poet Tagore paid his second visit to Ceylon in 1934. The portrait is autographed by him in Bangali as Rabindranath...The Atelier Colombo, Ceylon.'1934 was Tagore's final visit to Sri Lanka and final overseas visit ever. During his life, Tagore had visited more than thirty countries worldwide including Sri Lanka. This visit in 1934 was particularly important because it was during these travels that he explained the ideal of Visva-Bharati (a university founded by Tagore in 1921 in Santiniketan), raised funds for its development and laid the foundation stone for Sri Palee, a university founded in Sri Lanka based on the principals of Tagore's university at Santineketan. On his arrival to Sri Lanka, Tagore stated: 'I know your island and her beauty. I have been here more than once. And this time I have a special mission. I have brought some part of our culture which Santiniketan represents. I hope I will be able to please you. I hope my mission will be fulfilled...I have brought something from India, some aspect of the culture, some delight of her arts and I hope you will realize that it is of eternal value. With politics I am not concerned. My mission is spiritual delights of art and beauty far and wide.' (Radha Chakravarty, Tagore and Sri Lanka: Rabindranath Tagore 150th Birth Anniversary Volume, Neo Graphics Pvt Ltd, 2013, p.32)As part of these travels, Tagore travelled extensively on the island and visited Jaffna, Kandy, Horana and Panadura. Portrait of Tagore was probably painted by Amarasekara during these travels to commemorate his trip and Tagore would have likely stopped by the Atelier, the first private art school in Sri Lanka that taught the western style of painting. Amarasekara founded the Atelier and is considered to be one of the most important Sri Lanka artists of the Ceylon Society of Arts of the mid 20th Century. He joined H.W. Cave and Company to study commercial art, and subsequently worked as a draughtsman for 6 years before joining the Ceylon Technical College, Maradana as a lecturer in Fine Arts. He founded the 'Atelier School of Art,' notable alumni of which include Harry Peiris and Justin Peiris Deraniyagala. Amarasekara was known for his portraits of Ceylonese leaders of the time, so it is unsurprising that he painted this portrait of Tagore. His works were exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in London, and he held the positions of Secretary, Vice President and President of the Ceylon Society of Arts. In 1949, he was bestowed with an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to the arts in Ceylon by King George VI.To see other works by the artist sold in these rooms see Bonhams, Travel & Exploration, London, 20th September 2022, lot 61 and Travel & Exploration, London, 26th February 2020, lot 114.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DARWIN (CHARLES)The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, FIRST EDITION, second issue, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY TO ARTHUR MOSTYN OWEN, INSCRIBED 'From the author' in a clerical hand on the front free endpaper, and with an AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED ('CHARLES DARWIN'), further inscribed by Mostyn Owen on the front free endpaper ('A Mostyn Owen/ Woodhouse/ Salop', and 'This was sent me by Charles Darwin/ AMO/ 1873', in pencil), and on Mostyn Owen's address label ('a present from the author Charles Darwin/ in 1873', in ink on front paste-down, the date in pencil and inked over later), the letter 4 pages, on Down House headed notepaper, 8vo, dated 23 May 1873, preserved in its original envelope which is affixed to the rear paste-down, 7 heliotype plates by O. G. Rejlander (3 folding, all numbered in Arabic and with 'Heliotype' not cropped), numerous wood-engraved illustrations, 4pp. publisher's catalogue at end dated November 1872, short nick in upper margin of B1, some foxing to verso of plate 1 and adjacent page, occasional very minor spots elsewhere, publisher's green cloth, spine gilt, extremities rubbed, one small water spot to upper cover, short nicks to spine ends, joints wearing (slight split at foot of upper joint, hinge split internally), [Freeman 1142; Garrison-Morton 4975; Norman 600], 8vo (182 x 122mm.), John Murray, 1872 (2)Footnotes:'A MOST THRILLING TOKEN OF THE VERY MANY JOYFUL DAYS WHICH I OWE TO YOUR FAMILY' - DARWIN SENDS A PRESENTATION COPY TO ONE OF HIS OLD SHROPSHIRE FRIENDS.Arthur Mostyn Owen (1813–1896, of Woodhouse, Shropshire) and his family were great friends of the Darwin and Wedgwood families during Charles' youth, when he regularly visited the estate to shoot with Arthur and his brothers, and got to know the two sisters, Sarah and Fanny Mostyn Owen. On the evidence of letters from the period, Darwin seems to have been on romantic terms with both sisters, until he graduated and set off on the Beagle whilst the sisters got married, Sarah to Thomas Haliburton in 1831, and Fanny to the politician Robert Biddulph in 1832. In his later years Darwin sought to reconnect with the sisters and corresponded with Sarah Haliburton, who in 1872 was one of the recipients of a presentation copy of The Expression of the Emotions. This must have prompted Arthur to write to Darwin some seven months later, and he in turn was sent a copy.Written on Down House headed note paper and dated 23 May, Darwin's four-page letter here opens with him reminiscing about their shooting days at Woodhouse, lamenting the fact that he is too ill to travel let alone shoot, and expressing his continuing feelings of guilt over a shooting accident all those years ago ('I shall never forget that very unpleasant, indeed I may call it horrid day when a shot from my gun entered your eye'). After politely declining Arthur's offer of a portrait, writing that 'it must be a copy of Richmond's, which we possess (& a poor affair it is)', he turns to the other part of the suggested exchange: 'I would with pleasure send you my 'Descent of Man', but... my Origin of Species ought to be read first. I have, however, lately published a book on the 'Expression of the Emotions in Man & Animals'... I will direct my publisher to send you a copy'.The letter, tucked into its envelope at the rear of the volume, is described by the Darwin Correspondence Project as not having been found. But it can now fill the gap between Arthur's two letters to Darwin of 21 May and 28 May 1872, published by the Project as 'nos. 8917 and 8926'. The first sees Mostyn Owen writing to Darwin for the first time in many years. Having come across a portrait painted by Fanny in their Woodhouse days, he suggests that 'if you like to have it I will send it to you--& in return you shall send me the book you have written (people say) to prove our relationship to the monkey tribe'. In Arthur's letter of 28 May, he thanks Darwin for the book, and suggests there is a queue in the family to read it. Regarding his eye, he answers that it did give him some trouble, but that in conjunction with rubbing the area with cayenne pepper, it did help to get him added leave of absence whilst serving in India.Following on from The Descent of Man, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals 'is an important member of the evolutionary set, and it was written, in part at least, as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment' (Freeman). The only book Darwin illustrated with photographs, it heralded the foundation 'of the study of ethology (animal behaviour) and conveyance of information (communication theory) and made a major contribution to psychology' (DSB).This copy is Freeman's second issue, with three preliminary leaves only, 'htat' in the first line on p.208, and the last signatures being 2B1 and 2C4. The numbering of the plates is in Arabic rather than Roman, but no priority seems to have been established.Provenance: Arthur Mostyn Owen, recipient of the letter and his ownership inscriptions in the book; and thence by descent to the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

"Herinneringen uit mijn militaire leven als vrijwilliger bij de 5e Afdeeling Infanterie tijdens de Belgischen Opstand, 1830-1833, in Staats-Vlaanderen/in Noord-Brabant". (c. 1839, but w. ms. additions from later dates by the same hand). Ms. on laid paper consisting of 2 vols., paginated by hand: 339, (16); 261, (14) pp. and some blanks. Interspersed w. 6 drawings (partly in colour) by the author, 6 ms. plans (5 in colour), 1 fold. map of Flanders printed on silk, 11 lithogr. plates, 31 cold. costume plates, 1 portrait, and 6 o. plates. 4°. Cont. hcf. w. marbled paper brds., spines gilt dec. and lettered and raised in compartments, t.e.g. NOTE: Meticulously arranged and lovingly illustrated diary of the military campaign against the Belgians in the form of 32 letters written by the 'volunteer' Pieter van Sluijs de Quack who previously served as lieutenant in the army from 1822 to 1828. The diary - which is written in a legible hand - is certainly not only about military matters, but also contains many details about daily life, and historical events during the 3 years that S. de Q. served as a volunteer. Not much is known about S. de Q., but in 1837 Pieter de Quack acquired the addition “van Sluijs” to his surname. He served as a civil servant at the Ministry of the Interior and married in The Hague on 30 May 1838 with Elisabeth Geertruida Johanna Meerburg. From his letters we learn that he was a true patriot and that he could not bear the revolt of the Belgian people against his king. Added is a copy of a similar 'diary' edited by M.G. de Boer & J.C. Costerus 'Brieven en dagboek v.d. Utrechtschen vrijwilligen jager Pieter Jacobus Costerus, 1830 en 1831' published in 1917. Owrps. - From the library of F.C. Koch (see on his library: www.dbnl.org) who owned a large collection of military books and w. his bookplate.
