â–´ Frederick Kenneth Crooke (1908-1991) 'Messenger' (Lewis Casson), costume design for 'Medea', Old Vic Company, New Theatre, 1941 signed and titled in pencil, gouache 57.5 x 39cm Provenance: The Clive and Jane Wainwright Collection; with Sally Hunter Fine Art, purchased by Jane Wainwright, March 1992. Frederick Kenneth Crooke (1908-1991) was a theatre designer and design tutor. Born in Guildford, after artistic training in Paris and at the Royal Academy Schools in London - where he mixed with artists such as Mervyn Peake and Leslie Hurry - Crooke eventually began designing for the theatre. During the Second World War, he worked on a number of projects for the Old Vic, including 'Othello', 'Macbeth' and 'The Cherry Orchard' - the theatre having been bombed, it was necessary to stage the productions elsewhere, and Crooke would also drive the lorry containing the sets on tour. Many of the productions were directed by Tyrone Guthrie and, as well as working together, they became close friends. Having worked on numerous successful projects, in the late 1950s, Crooke's focus shifted to teaching, and he went on to work at Croydon School of Art & Craft until 1973. In later years, he concentrated less on design, turning to painting instead.

Ralph Hurst (American, 1918-2003), 'Goose', onyx, signed 'Ralph Hurst' and numbered '9282', on a revolving marble plinth, 31cm wide 15cm deep 21.5cm high Ralph Hurst was born in Decatur, Indiana, USA, and attended Indiana University. In 1953, he moved to Miami, Florida, where he was discovered and lured to Florida State University to become a member of the art faculty for twenty-seven years. Professor Emeritus Hurst fondly remembered his teaching experience in ceramics, constructive design, woodworking, synthetics, supervising art education majors and teaching elementary art education teachers on campus, as well as several years of in-service art classes to teachers in kindergarten and elementary classes in Dade, Palm Beach and Escambia counties. A highlight of his Florida State University career was receiving three faculty grants, one of which provided the opportunity to have a studio in Florence, Italy, carving in alabaster and marble. In 2002, Florida State University honoured Hurst with a retrospective in the Museum of Fine Arts, showing examples of his award-winning works in wood, marble, alabaster, bronze, steatite, ceramics, paint, and synthetics. Considered preeminent amongst sculptors in the US, and best known for his elegant and sensuous alabaster carvings of figures and birds, Hurst's strength as a sculptor was the strong repetition of rhythmic carving and graceful lines reminiscent of the classics. Hurst was quoted as saying 'In the hours of creativity, when I engage in shaping boulders into form and the form becomes alive and a thing of beauty, my spirit soars'. Condition ReportSome minor scuffing and scratches to the body of the goose. Some spotting along the back and tails. The plinth is mounted on a revolving plinth - to allow the sculpture to be rotated.
