Heading: (Hong Kong Fanlingerers)Author: Title: Minute Book, photographs, and other memorabilia of the Hong Kong Fanlingerers at St. AndrewsPlace Published: St. AndrewsPublisher:Date Published: 1951-1979Description: The original official minute book kept by the organization, Hong Kong Fanlingerers, established at St. Andrews in 1951. The founding Taipan (Powerful businessman formerly a foreigner living and operating in Hong King or China) was Alexander Mackenzie, Captain, Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, who was blinded by the Japanese when they overran Hong Kong in 1941. He was the first to leave the colony after liberation. The organization was subscribed at the Cross Keys St. Andrews by the following founding members. RM Henderson, DJ Gilmore, EJ Curran, John Fleming, A. Mackenzie, TL Christie, RH Hood, AB Purves, N. Kay, WJS Key, ARH Phillips, and Robert Young, and signed by all of them, "as an association of members and friends of the Royal Hong Kong Golf club, formed for the purpose of golf and good fellowship everywhere, and in memory of happy days at Fanling, with surplus funds to be donated to the institution for War blinded". The minute book records each annual meeting from 1951 to 1979. It appears that Mackenzie died thereafter, and there is no record as to the fate of the organization after this date. Each annual meeting was held at a different Scottish golf course and club, with mostly 8x10" b&w photos of the elegantly dressed members attending, along with the complete financial records of each meeting and tournament. Many of the members have signed in at meetings. Some of the courses included Gullane, West Sussex, with most held at Kilspindle, East Lothian, and a joint meeting with the China Golfing Society at Pulborough, Also included are the printed annual reports issued each year, and approximately 50 photographs of their various activities, all neatly captioned with typewritten legends. A printed offprint by member Henry Longhurst describes the history of the organization in a tipped in article. The book may have been put together by Robert Young of Edinborough who was the Hon. Secretary of the Club. The ledger book is quarter bound in leather, 8x13", and 2" thick and holds approximately 250 pages, plus tipped in objects and ephemera. Condition: A little wear to the binding extremities, but internally fine in a tightly bound book. An interesting history of this unusual Scottish golfing organization.

* JOSEF HERMAN RA OBE (BRITISH 1911 - 2000), THE FAMILY ink and wash on paper 20cm x 25cm Mounted, framed and under glass Note: It was in Glasgow that he began work on the series he called A Memory of Memories, mostly works on paper in which he recalled the life he had left behind in Warsaw. These moving works, many of which are simple pen and ink drawings, have rarely been exhibited as Herman rediscovered them only in the 1980s. The artist's son, David, says his father never talked about his youth and family in Poland, and wonders whether for many years it was too difficult a subject for him to deal with. "The A Memory of Memories series vanished and then turned up very mysteriously. He claims he found them in his studio. It was possible, as his studio was an absolute jumble of drawings and paintings and sketchbooks all over the place. But I think it was a very strange thing that he could have lost those drawings for such a long time and then found them again much later." Another work from this period is My Family and I, which shows Herman painting surrounded by his family. It now belongs to Sir Jeremy Isaacs whose Glaswegian parents met Herman at the home of the sculptor Benno Schotz. "Josef was broke and had no money for paint, canvas and brushes," says Isaacs. "My parents bought the painting for £25. Josef tried to buy it back a couple of times, but my father always refused. I am very proud that they left it to me." In the work, the painting of Herman's easel shows a figure in a mask, dressed for the festival of Purim, a favourite theme in his work at the time. "Purim was a source of inspiration. It represented the strength of Jewish culture and the fight back against destruction."Herman was not religious - writer Gabriel Josipovici described him instead as "the best kind of secular, cosmopolitan Jew". "I absolutely agree," says David Herman. "My father was part of a generation who were absolutely soaked in the Jewish culture of central and eastern Europe. The A Memory of Memories series is one man's attempt to bring to life a world which he had lost and was pretty sure would be destroyed. And I think it is that which gives the drawings tremendous power.'

* EDWARD GAGE MBE RSW PSSA (1925 - 2000)FESTIVAL HANGOVERwatercolour on paper, signed and dated '8356cm x 75.5cmMounted, framed and under glass.Note: Teddy Gage held the post of art master at Fettes College, Edinburgh. He at once found that he had a real love and gift for teaching, and spent 17 happy and successful years with the school. One former pupil has described how, as soon as he entered the art room, he was no longer a schoolboy subject to school masters, but one grown-up in full communication with another. His enthusiasm and inspiration have been spoken to by all who were taught by him, either at Fettes or at Napier College, where he was a senior lecturer from 1968 to 1986.Teddy also designed stage sets and did a great deal of illustration work, especially for the BBC in the Radio Times. Painting was, however, his continuing main love. He produced a steady flow of pictures, and had ten one-man exhibitions between 1964 and 1986, besides contributing paintings to group exhibitions in Edinburgh, London and elsewhere. Examples of his work can be seen in many public collections throughout Scotland and England. From 1960 to 1964, he was president of the Society of Scottish Artists. From 1966 till 1995, Teddy Gage was the art critic of The Scotsman, reviewing every exhibition of note in Edinburgh. He also found time to gather material for a book on contemporary Scottish painting, which was published in 1977, entitled The Eye in the Wind. Please see lots 92 & 114.

* JAMES HOWIE (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2011), LANDSCAPEoil on board, signed and dated 1982 verso90cm x 106cm (appro 35 x 41 inches)Framed.Provenance: Acquired Bruton Gallery, June 1993 by the current vendor and a copy of the bill of sale is available to the purchaser.Note: When in 1982 the renowned Glasgow artic critic Denys Sutton was invited to choose the finest 25 painters of the 20th century his choice included Augustus John, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon and a comparatively unknown Dundonian, Jimmy Howie, who eschewed the conventional art scene. Later that year John Schlesinger made a television programme about him in which Howie explored his attitude and relative lack of commercial success: "Either one paints as a vocation or as a career, it is probably impossible to mix the two." Howie was later offered and refused a chair in a leading Scottish art college on the grounds that the teaching would interfere with his painting. Jimmy Howie was born in Dundee in 1931, the son of a printer at DC Thomson, and he loved the city dearly. He attended the Harris Academy and then the city's college of art, where he concentrated on learning complex techniques in glazing. After two years of national service, latterly as a sergeant running an educational facility in Liverpool, he spent time in Ibiza and then in an advertising agency in Jamaica and worked for a while as a gesso boy - preparing canvases with glue and chalk - in London, learning in particular the art of canvas stretching and frame making. In 1983 when he spent a year on the waterless Spanish island of Formentera where he mixed his own paints, made his own gesso from rabbit skin and chalk and experimented with traditional glazes. His signature works were large canvases with colours drawn from the soft pallet of the semi-wilderness but often with large dark areas for contrast.Some termed these works gloomy and introspective but their ambers often glowed and their greens shone and others felt that they seemed to turn up the volume on life itself. Such works sold well. He was widely praised by many and would usually hold one show a year, though he only produced around half a dozen works a year, and refused to play the "art game". He was happier sitting in his studio in Dundee listening to a test match as he reworked, yet again, one of his masterpieces, than being out at art parties and never made nearly as much money as he might have. He made no pretence of his almost biological need to paint, and more than once compared it to his other great need - to dance. But Jimmy was no mere unworldly artist for he was well read and politically aware and, although naturally cheerful, he was furious at some of the art initiatives that came to Dundee due to what he once termed the "dodgy men in silly glasses sent to put us right". Public collections include Glasgow University, Dundee Art Gallery, The Scottish Arts Council & The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

CARL KAHLER (AUSTRIAN 1855-1906)Study for My Wife`s Lovers, circa 1891oil on canvas64.2 x 51.7 cm (25 1/4 x 20 3/8 in.)signed lower rightLOT NOTESIn 1891, the American millionaire and cat enthusiast Kate Birdsall Johnson approached Carl Kahler with a commission to paint a group portrait of her feline companions, jokingly nicknamed My Wife`s Lovers by her husband. Having established himself as a portraitist and a painter of horses, this seemed like a natural connection for Kahler, but as he lacked experience painting cats the artist spent much of the next three years creating studies of the animals he would eventually feature in the monumental painting (which recently sold at Sotheby`s for $826,000 and is now on display at the Portland Art Museum. The completed painting, featuring forty-two of Johnson`s beloved felines caused a sensation at the 1893 Chicago World`s Fair and was eventually acquired by Ernest Haquette, who kept the painting on display at the San Francisco Palace of Art Salon. In 1906, the Salon as well as more than 3,000 people, including the artist, perished in the devastating earthquake, while My Wife`s Lovers, and this study, survived. In the study offered here, the meowing kitten depicted in this composition can be seen just off-center, to the left of Johnson`s centrally poised prized cat Sultan, and directing his attention to the white reclining Angora cat (whose head is depicted in a slightly different position in the present lot), named His Highness.

A PAIR OF FUTURISTIC COMPOSITIONS BY ELENA GURO (RUSSIAN 1877-1913), comprising:a) Futurist Composition, circa 1910, watercolor and gouache on paper (envelope), 11 x 14.5 cm (4 3/8 x 5 5/8 in.) b) Futurist Composition , circa 1910, watercolor and gouache on paper (envelope), 7.5 x 11.5 cm (3 x 4 1/2 in.)LOT NOTESElena Genrikhovna Guro (1877-1913) was a Russian Futurist painter, playwright, poet, and writer of fiction. From 1890 to 1893 she studied art at the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St Petersburg. From 1903 to 1905 she studied in the private studio of Jan Ciaglinski where she met her future husband Mikhail Matyushin. In 1905 she illustrated the Russian translation of a book of fairy tales by George Sand. In 1906 she and Matyushin moved to the school of Elizaveta Zvantseva, where Guro worked under Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, Leon Bakst and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. In 1908 she left the school and established her own studio. By 1908 her home was a central meeting place for discussions on art and literature. In 1913 she continued to write and paint, even though she was suffering from leukemia. She died the same year at her country house in Polyany, Leningrad Oblast, formerly Uusikirkko, Finland. In Russia, Guro was one of the first artists who took interest in what was called the fourth dimension. Guro`s pantheistic formulation of man`s identity as a creature including a merging with cosmos, was a combination of German idealism with ideas on the fourth dimension as "hyperspace" (and not as time). Many artists believed in the existence of another reality beyond the one we normally see, and that it was the task of the artist to show the way into this higher reality by making it visible for philosophers and scientists.THIS LOT IS BEING SOLD WITHOUT RESERVE.

A PAIR OF CHILDRENS COLLAGES FROM THE FUTURIST EXHIBITION MISHEN [THE TARGET] ORGANIZED BY LARIONOV, 1912, PROVENANCEFrom the collection of architect Nikolay Vinogradov (1885-1980)EXHIBITEDFuturist exhibition MISHEN (The Target) organized by Mikhail Larionov (Moscow, 1913).LITERATUREReproduced in Goncharova, The Art and Design of Natalia Goncharova, Anthony Parton, p. 168, 235comprising:a) Children`s Winter Landscape, circa 1912, collage and pencil on paper, 11.5 x 19.5 cm (4 5/8 x 7 3/4 in.) b) Children`s Art Flower, circa 1912, collage and pencil on paper, 18 x 11.5 cm (7 x 4 1/2 in.) LOT NOTESWith The Target exhibition, Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova introduced Rayonism, a style of abstract art that developed in Russia. In their literature Larionov and Goncharova described Rayonism as naturally encompassing all existing styles and forms of the art of the past, as they, like life, are simply points of departure for a Rayonist perception and construction of a picture. The Target exhibition featured the latest work of the Donkey`s Tail group. Larionov had already unfurled the plans for this exhibition to the critic of Moskovskaya gazeta in January 1913. He explained:This year we are calling ourselves `The Target`. Last year`s name, `The Donkey`s Tail`, was a challenge to the public. `The Target` is also a challenge. The name symbolizes the public`s attitude to us. The gibes and abuse of those who can`t keep up with us and can`t perceive the aims of art with our eyes fly into us like arrows into a target. Artists, participating in the exhibition included Larionov, Goncharova, Anisimov, Bart, Bobrov, Chagall, Ivan Larionov, Le Dantiu, Malevich, Rogovin, Sagaydachny, Shevchenko, Skuie, Yastrzhembsky and Zdanevich. One of the aims of the exhibition was to present the work of artists not associated with any definite trend or group, and so young students such as Vyacheslav Levkievsky and Sergei Romanovich together with ordinary house painters with artistic aspirations were invited to participate. Majority of the works on view at The Target were executed in a Neo-Primitive style, the sources of which could be traced back to Russian icon painting and lubki. To emphasize the correspondence between their own work and popular art forms, Larionov included in The Target a selection of contemporary primitive art. Works by Niko Pirosmani (1862-1918), the Georgian “naive” painter, were exhibited here for the first time, alongside paintings of Russian life and landscape by Pavlyuchenko, a former miner, and pictures by Timofei Bogomazov, a sergeant-major and amateur painter whom Larionov had befriended in the army. Children`s drawings from the collections of Aleksandr Shevchenko and I. D. Vinogradov were exhibited as well as a score of anonymous drawings.THIS LOT IS BEING SOLD WITHOUT RESERVE.

[VASLAV NIJINSKY AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO]AN IMPORTANT AND RARE AUTOGRAPHED PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPH OF VASLAV NIJINSKY (1890-1950), signed and dated in ink in French by Nijinsky, Souvenir de W. Nijinsky, 1916, the photograph depicting a posing Nijinsky in his role in the Ballets Russes production of Scheherazade, photographed by Count Jean de Strelecki, and bearing a stamp from the photographer on the verso with the artist`s name and production title, measuring 23.3 x 18 cm (9 1/8 x 7 1/8 in.). Overall in good condition with one small pinhole at top and two small pinholes at bottom.LOT NOTESVaslav Nijinsky was one of the most celebrated dancers of the 20th Century, considered by many to be the most talented male dancer to have ever lived. An icon to the gay community even today, Nijinsky was the lover of the impresario of the Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev, and his performances were highly sexually charged. This photograph was a publicity photograph for the production of Scheherazade, and one can see even in the photograph Nijinsky`s inherent sensuousness for which he was famous, and which was artfully publicized by Diaghilev. The photographer of this and other publicity photographs for Scheherazade was Count Jean de Strelecki, a fellow Polish artist (Nijinsky`s parents were ethnic Polish) who was born into a family of the Polish military aristocracy. Having studied painting with Leon Bakst, Strelecki was introduced to Sergei Diaghilev by Bakst. As he also made a living as a photographer, he made hundreds of photographs of the Ballets Russes while they were performing in Paris, where he originally resided. Along with Baron Adolph de Meyer, Strelecki supplied photographic publicity portraits for dancers of several productions, most famously for Scheherazade.

HUANG YONGYU (CHINESE B. 1924)Owl, Flying Away, Closed Its Eyes, 1995ink and watercolor on paper68 x 68 cm (26 3/4 x 26 3/4 in.)signed and dated upper center left, bearing a dedicatory inscription upper left, titled upper center right and upper centerPROVENANCE Gifted by the artist to the mother of the present ownerLOT NOTESDuring the 1970s, Huang Yongyu began to move away from his previously established medium of woodcut printing into ink paintings of flowers, landscapes and birds. These same subjects were promoted by the Premier of the People`s Republic of China, Zhou Enlai, as appropriate for the visual consumption by foreigners visiting the country, and so were used by members of the Hotel School to decorate establishments patronized by international visitors. Meant to be beautiful and innocuous, the works were in direct contrast to the language used in art meant for the general Chinese population, focusing on inherently political Socialist Realist themes. It might be seen as surprising then, that Yongyu`s 1973 Hotel School painting of a winking owl caused the uproar that it did. The owl, as well as Yongyu`s now iconic paintings of the bird, have a complex cultural significance in China. Unlike the long-held view of the owl as a figure of wisdom in the West, traditionally in China, the image of the owl was filled with ominous connotations and seen as a harbinger of ill news. A popular Chinese saying keeping one eye open and the other closed implies that one is deliberately pretending not to see and ignoring wrongdoing, with some applying this interpretation to the facial expression of the winking owl, thereby giving the painting a controversial politicized reading as critical of the Cultural Revolution. None the less, the artist has always maintained that the expression is a mere example of a natural phenomenon, and is something commonly seen in owls. At the same time, however, since the 1950s there was a concerted official effort to improve the cultural image of the owl. The late `50s were a period of widespread famine in China, with many blaming sparrows and rodents for the destruction of already faltering crops. The owl was promoted as a natural enemy to these creatures and as such, an aid to people. Publications for children and young adults featuring the owl as a lovable protagonist, and even a film, were created to promote the raptor`s image, and did so successfully. Yongyu himself was an illustrator of children`s books and likely was familiar with the new “official” stance on the bird. This benevolent view of the creature, and the artist`s subsequent paintings of owls, such as the present lot, seems to be supported by numerous other public figures including American poet Paul Engle, the husband of the person to whom this painting was dedicated and gifted, and who knew Yongyu. Engle even used one of his later images of the owl to illustrate one of his works, Owl Replies, a poem about the bird published in Images of China, 1981, which could be seen as a direct reference to the work: One eye open, one eye closed / Both eyes closed, both eyes open / I`m still a better bird than you... inviting the viewer to become a wise owl with furious feathers / Sitting one eye open, one eye closed....
