Laurence Stephen Lowry RA (1887-1976) Street scene, factory gates Signed and dated 1962, oil on board, 17cm by 15cm Provenance: Crane Kalman Gallery, London, 14 March 2002, April 1964 Ex Collection D Heyward Esq Sale; Christie's, London ''20th Century British Art'', 5th March 1999, lot 175 Lowry was not interested in reproducing an exact copy of the streets and people he had seen while he walked through Pendlebury and Manchester, instead noting the features around him and building composite images based on these studies. Indeed, much of the architecture is repeated throughout Lowry's industrial scenes, whether that be the church spire breaking through the chimney stacks, the domed roof of the mill or even the mill gates themselves, many of which can be seen in this small study completed in 1962. Street scene, factory gates illustrates Lowry's development of figure studies, moving from adding figures which he took from his sketch books to impressionistic representations consisting of only a couple of brushstrokes, suggesting the movement of the crowds. While these figures may be of simple form, his compositional skill guides the viewers eye around the picture, either by rows of figures which bring the gaze into the heart of the picture or by sectioning off areas with an architectural feature or wall to create a scene within a scene. As is evident in this small oil, the eye is drawn up from the lower edge of the panel by the group of figures in the foreground heading up to a narrow lane, squeezed by the mill to the left and the tower on the right to suggest subtlety of a bus heading off into the distance.

GIO PONTI (1891 - 1979) Pair of armchairs, model 516, produced by Cassina, c.1950s, with a certificate of authenticity from the Gio Ponti Archives. 82 x 65 x 75cm.When anyone speaks about Gio Ponti, both as man and designer, two phrases are used consistently: joy de vivre and la dolce vita. They describe a career that encompassed everything: architecture, ceramics, industrial design, interiors, painting, writing, teaching, poetry and, significantly, editing Europe’s leading design and architecture magazine, Domus. Irrepressible, impassioned and exceedingly generous, Gio Ponti is regarded today as the major coalescing force behind the golden age of 20th century Italian design.Having graduated in architecture in 1921 from Milan Polytechnic, Ponti worked as artistic director for ceramics manufacturer, Richard-Ginori, where he laid the grounds for the kind of industrialised production lines for which post-war Milan was to become known. While at Ginori, Ponti founded Domus, which, but for a break of six years, he went on to edit for the rest of his working life. It would prove not only a mouthpiece for his own ideas and beliefs, but also for those of his fellow designers, and its importance in terms of launching careers, drawing attention to movements, and elaborating on certain design ideas is difficult to overestimate. Influenced by the Wiener Werkstatte, by traditional folk-craft imagery, and by his reading of classical forms, the mainly porcelain pieces, with their stylised imagery of nature, people and pastimes, earned Ponti a Grand Prix at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs, an event that was to act as a catalyst for the subsequent Art Deco movement. Ponti championed the ideals of rationalism referring to his Superleggera chair as ‘chair...with no adjectives, that is to say just a chair, but light, slender and reasonable.’ He was also drawn to the baroque, the surreal, the futuristic. This fascination with a wide range of design styles and movements is evident in Gio Ponti’s work, chief among which are the decorative and colour saturated blown-glass pieces for Venini, his furniture and interior designs for Fornasetti and numerous projects for the likes of Fontana Arte, Artemide, Cassina and Kardex Italiano. Throughout his working life, Gio Ponti was the recipient of numerous awards. He taught architecture at his alma mater, Milan Polytechnic for nearly 30 years, and during that time produced important architectural projects which matched his work in the field of industrial design, most notably the 1956 Pirelli Tower in Milan. He died at home, in 1979. He remains a monumental figure in 20th century Italian design.
