Charles E. Hardaker (b.1934) 'Forms within Form'. Signed, oil on board, 122 x 92cm, Hardaker studied at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts, and after completing National Service in 1955, spent three years at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1967 he wrote about these still lifes: 'Motives for the paintings in general (as much as one dare to define them!) are architectural and philosophical in that the basically cubic container form has been connected with the cube/earth symbol in Plato's Timaeus. But also things as they are is important as any intellectual idea so that the paintings retain strong roots in things seen.' A painting of similar type and date, entitled 'Three times Three' 1965, is in the Tate Gallery Collection:. Visit www.sworder.co.uk for larger image and condition reports.
Adam, Robert--Kinross Ink and pen drawing, Adam office, of two aspects of Kinross Town and County House, captioned "West Front of the County House at Kinross, 1771" and "South Front of the County House at Kinross", with scale at foot, measurements marked in ink, 525 x 760mm., laid down on linen, edged in green silk, somewhat soiled and creased with several surface tears, small loss to scale at foot and to right hand edge of "South Front" drawing, in old metal scroll tube Note: A previously unrecorded architectural drawing from the "Adam office". Robert Adam was involved only with the redesign of the narrow south front of the pre-existing county house in Kinross where he added a three-storey three-bay bowed extension with a conical roof, decorating the new south front at his own expense, as is recorded in a large plaque which occupies the central bay of the top floor: "This County House was repaired by the Crown, A.D. 1771. Robert Adam of this shire decorated this front at his own expense" . It has four Tuscan pilasters which run through the first and second floors and has niches instead of windows in the end bays of the first floor. David King notes "No drawings survive". This drawing would appear therefore to be the only surviving drawing of the County House and although not in Robert's hand there is little doubt that as Robert was both designing and paying for the addition to the County House in the constituency he then represented, that he must have approved the current drawing which would have been based on a preliminary drawing of his own, now lost.
