He trained at Camberwell School of Art and started work as an architectural draughtsman. Early in 1940 he was drafted into a small group of war artists producing propaganda work for the Ministry of Defence. During the war he also produced war maps and impressions of battles for the Daily Express and worked as an Air Raid Officer. It was at this time that he began to exhibit his paintings at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. After the war he worked as a freelance designer for the aircraft industry, the railways and on road safety campaigns but his passion was for painting. He perfected the use of a clay coated paper in combination with watercolour and finished the work with a coat of varnish to add depth. He also worked in oils. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the New English Art Club, the Chelsea Arts Club, the Wapping Group of Artists and the London Sketch Club.

ALFRED POWELL (1865-1960) FOR WEDGWOOD & SONS ARTS & CRAFTS WALL CHARGER, 1910-1920 painted and glazed earthenware, decorated by Mabel Tatton, impressed WEDGWOOD, signed in gilt to rim M. TATTONDimensions:47cm diameterNote: Literature: For a similar plate see Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, accession no. C.49-1972 (formerly in the collection of Charles and Lavinia Handley-Read)Note: Powell was inspired by the designs of the Arts & Crafts Movement, and the influence of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones can be seen in the decoration of this dish: the animals and foliage remind, particularly, of tapestries made by Morris & Co at Merton Abbey. Many of Powell’s designs are based on plant and animal motifs, others feature architectural views and calligraphy. He and his wife Louise Powell also created simpler patterns for factory production during the 1920s-30s. Mabel Tatton started decorating at Etruria for Wedgwoods in 1907 until 1914 when she left to study at Hornsey College, Middlesex. She returned to the firm as head of the painting and enamelling department from 1920 until 1928. Her work was shown at the Paris Exhibition in 1925. The appearance of Tatton's signature in gilt on the rim marks this piece out as an exceptional example of her decorating skills.
JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955)"Freud's children", 2001.Steel, plaster and water pump, copy 25/25.Signed and numbered.Size: 31 x 31 x 26 cm."Freud's children" is a simple piece in its configuration and subjugating in its minimal forms and enigmatic silence. The hands cupped to catch water from the basin formally contrast the organic and the formal minimalism of the cylinder, and at the same time put the elusive and elusive idea of water and the solidity of metal into dialogue. Plensa studies these synergies and latent dialogues between materials as bearers of meaning. And so, through the visual, he constructs meanings that do not require explanatory words. Rather, they awaken feelings and ideas linked to commitment, to the collective, to love, to the unconscious and to mutual help.Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mould iron using the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work in terms of both material and form, and began to use different materials such as metal waste, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has held solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he unveiled his work "Breathing", a memorial to journalists killed in the line of duty, at the BBC headquarters in London. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

Ca. 200-300 AD Over life size schist head of a bodhisattva, with elaborate coiffure featuring a topknot (Ushnisha) and carefully-detailed hair, neat headband, heavy, lowered eyelids, elegant nose, neat moustache, closed mouth and strong chin. His identity as a bodhisattva is established by the presence of a well-defined urna on his forehead. Together, these details create a majestic impression of a bodhisattva or individual who is able to reach nirvana (enlightenment) but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. The back is rough and unfinished, suggesting this piece was originally placed in an architectural setting. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent. The Kushan period (c. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this head belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area. For further discussion on Gandharan art, see Jongeward, D. 2019, Buddhist Art Of Gandhara in the Ashmolean Museum. Oxford, Oxford University Press. Good condition.

Dutch painter Elias Pieter Van Bommel, honorary member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam, has interpreted the typical Dutch atmosphere of the 19th century in his works.His works are highly regarded, with sharp architectural details, as in this fine example. His style is bright, colorful and idyllic. Bommel painted tiny figures, like in the present canvas, within enormous natural environments to contrast the banality of men with the grandeur of creation. The clear sunlight, the rosy clouds and the calm surface of the harbor contribute to the harmonious mood of the work. He trained at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam and was a pupil of the Amsterdam landscape painter George Andries Roth. While he began painting landscapes, influenced by the work of his teacher, he later moved on to finely detailed cityscapes populated with figures. Cities such as Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Amsterdam have been sources of inspiration, and he has also made study trips to Belgium, Germany, France and Italy.Signed and dated “E.P. van Bommel / 1875 "(bottom left).30 x 54 cm Oil on canvas
