Two portfolios of watercolours from the archive of architect, artist and poet Gavin Pomeroy. Including architectural drawings, architectural, architectural watercolours, landscape and abstract watercolours, linocuts, prints etc. together with poems, architectural magazines, sketchbooks etc. and two Russell Flint prints.William Gavin Ingram Pomeroy 4 April 1929Born in Newlyn his family moved to Mousehole when his grandfather died. The Pomeroy’s owned many properties in Mousehole and were market gardeners. They owned the meadows flanking Raginnis Hill in Mousehole. His mother Ann nee White’s family were the White’s from Newlyn who built many properties in Newlyn including Eden Terrace.A great all-rounder academically, artistically, musically and also a good sportsman. Gavin played in local teams becoming captain of the junior teams in the 1940’s – football and cricket.His mother was very musically gifted and was the accompanist for Mousehole Male Voice Choir for over 30 years. Ann worked for a local solicitors and also taught the piano and organ. Gavin inherited his mother’s musical talent – he sang his first solo at the age of 14, eventually joined Mousehole Male Voice Choir – still a member (maybe still the vice-chair). And up until his recent ill health was in demand both in Cornwall and around Devon as a soloist. Gavin played the piano and violin.In his primary school, he was awarded a board school scholarship and went to what became Humphry Davy Grammar School for boys.In 1947 he started as an articled architectural student with Geoffrey Bazeley & Associated, Chartered Architects, 15/16 Alverton Street, Penzance.During his time as a student with Bazeley’s, Gavin took a correspondence course all about building, with the International Correspondence Schools Ltd. This involved doing drawings, lettering and answering a comprehensive range of questions covering all trades.In 1951 Gavin travelled to Plymouth to study architecture at the School of Art Department of Architecture in Palace Court. He boarded with a local lady and in later years married his landlady’s daughter Joy Richings, whose family were from Berneray in the Outer Hebrides (his nephew on his wife’s side and family still live there).Around 1955 Gavin was called up for National Service and deployed to Chatham Barracks, Kent where he was taken on as a draughtsman in the Sappers. He designed the gates for the barracks that were built there.He married in 1955 and he joined the choir at Plymouth Methodist Central Hall.Bazeley’s opened a branch in St Austell and later in Plymouth, Gavin headed up both.He became a part-time lecturer for Plymouth School of Architecture in the evenings and in 1964 was offered a full-time position. Gavin’s wife encouraged him to take this change of direction in his architectural career. Whilst working at the Polytechnic, Gavin successfully completed a 2 year Master’s Degree in architecture at Bath University. By the time he retired in 1999, Gavin was the senior lecturer in architecture at what was then Plymouth Polytechnic and is now Plymouth University.Throughout his life, Gavin never stopped sketching, painting (particularly watercolours and pastels that he either kept or gave to family and friends) and writing poetry.The Mousehole Archive has Pomeroy family history and Gavin’s niece has some of his paintings and some recent family history.Sadly, Gavin now has dementia but has clearly lead a very artistic and interesting life.

Portrait of a Balinese young woman, texturized and impasto oil on board, signed upper left: Wolff Sch. Lot includes book on the life and work of C.P. Wolff Schoemaker, entitled Tropical Modernity, by C.J. Van Dullemen. Charles Prosper Wolff Schoemaker was a Dutch architect who designed several distinguished Art Deco buildings in Bandung, Indonesia, including the Villa Isola and Hotel Preanger. He has been described as "the Frank Lloyd Wright of Indonesia," and Wright had a considerable influence on Schoemaker's modernist designs. Although he was primarily known as an architect, he was also a painter and sculptor. Schoemaker was born on Java in a Catholic military family. After training in the Netherlands at the Royal Military Academy, he returned to the Dutch East Indies in 1905, where he worked his way up from officer in the Royal Dutch East Indies Army to director of municipal public works in Batavia. He was converted to Islam and set up an architectural and engineering practice with his brother. After the closing down of the firm he rose to become a valued professor at the Technical University and a famous artist. Schoemaker’s love life with five successive marriages was as non-conformist as that of his student and lifelong friend, Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia. This friendship led to Schoemakers later exclusion by the Indo-European community after the Japanese occupation. He died in the year of Indonesia‘s independence. Overall size: 21 x 15 in. Sight size: 14 1/2 x9 1/4 in.

Terracotta bust of a young girl with brown patina. Original brown marble base. Signed and dated 1783 on underside. Slight flake to the back of the sculpture. Prominent in France during the Enlightenment period of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Jean-Antoine Houdon was a neo-classical sculptor, especially noted for his marble portrait busts and statues. His subjects included Americans Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert Fulton, and among his French subjects were Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Louis XVI and Napoléon Bonaparte. For King Louis, he did numerous statues for the gardens of Versailles. Houdon was a continuous exhibitor at the French Salon, and works included many of the above mentioned personages as well as Prince Henry of Prussia, Catharine of Russia, Voltaire, the playwright Moliere and Marshal de Tourville. Houdon was born in Versailles in 1714. His artistic talent was apparent from the time he was young, and at age 12, he enrolled in the Ecole Royale de Sculpture where he was a student of sculptor Michel Ange Slodtz (1705-1764). In 1761, at the age of 20, Houdon received a Prix de Rome, which was a scholarship sponsored and paid for by the King of France for art students to study at The Academy of France in Rome. He stayed in Italy for ten years, and there much delighted Pope Clement XIV and many other people with his statue of St. Bruno, which Houdon did for the church of St. Maria degli Angeli. Although receiving the Prix de Rome brought him public recognition and the duration provided some excellent exposure to Italian art, scholars indicate that he was not particularly influenced by either the Renaissance or Classical works. However, tangible evidence of some of that influence was the sculpture he titled Morpheus that he sent to the French Salon in 1771. That same year, because of the skill he had shown with Morpheus, and with entries two years earlier that were busts of Catharine II, Diderot and Prince Galitzin, Houdon was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts (painting and sculpture), one of the five academies of the Institute de France, a society of learned persons who set aesthetic standards. In 1778, he became a Professor at the Académie and has been described as being a very active teacher. During the French Revolution, he was censored as a 'bourgeois' because of his association with Louis XVI, but he was not imprisoned. Under the French Consulate, the government between 1799 and 1804, and the French Empire, 1804-1814, when Napoléon took over, Houdon regained his former stature. He executed architectural reliefs, did a statue of Cicero for the Senate, did portrait busts of Napoleon and his wife Josephine, and received the Legion of Honour. In 1785, at the invitation of Benjamin Franklin, America's Minister to France, Houdon traveled with Franklin to America to Virginia, where he visited Mount Vernon to model George Washington, who four years later would be elected President of the United States. From sittings, Houdon made wet-clay life models and a plaster life mask, which later were used, not only by Houdon in Paris for his portrait bust of Washington but for many sculpture works of Washington. Among these Washington subjects are the standing figure statue in the state capitol building in Richmond commissioned by the Virginia General Assembly; many variations of a portrait busts, and a statue in the Vermont State House depicting him in a toga as the Roman Consul Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Jean-Antoine Houdon died in Paris July 16, 1828, and is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery. From November 4, 2003 to January 25, 2004, an exhibition of Houdon's sculpture was held at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Size: 18 x 12 x 6 in.
