†HAROLD SQUIRE, NEAC (1881-1959) LANDSCAPE signed and dated 1935, oil on panel, 39.5 x 32cmHarold Squire was a founder member of the London Group. It emerged from the artists of Camden Town Group and their associates, and the Vortisists, in 1913. Other founder members included Sickert, Spencer Gore and Wynham Lewis. Charles Rennie Mackintosh prepared three separate schemes for Harold Squire's Chelsea Studio in 1920. The most ambitious of these included a roof garden but in the event a more affordable alternative was commissioned. Mackintosh's designs for Squire's studio survive in altered form in the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow.++In fine condition requiring only a light surface clean, the panel not split, cracked or warped, the paint surface not scratched or with flaking medium.

A SOVIET AGITLAK TRAVEL CHESS SET SMENA SMENE IDYOT, N. ZINOVIEV, PALEKH, 1929of a rectangular shape, the hinged cover depicting in detail a rural domestic scene, where young pioneers are winning during a chess game against an adult. The players are gathered around the table in a children's room. An interior around them features a Russian oven with a cat sleeping on it, two draped windows, a shelf with the books of fairy tales, and children's toys, such as: a ball, a teddy bear, a truck. With all these details emphasizing the cosiness of the moment, some elements, such as a portrait of Mikhail Kalinin overlooking the tournament from the wall and a lamp with a bright red bulb, carry a clear message - In with the New, out with the Old!. It also is underlined in the main subject of the painting, where the sharp-minded youth, inspired by the new Communist era, wins the old-fashioned rival, featuring an allegorical plea for the rejection of illiteracy, superstition, and devoutness in the name of progress of the Soviet people. Made of Karelian birch, decorated with a gold floral pattern on the body, the inside of the hinged cover features a motto: Smena-Smene-Idyot [A Change Goes for a Change], and a red flag with a hammer and a sickle below it. Inside of the box, there is a set of red and white chess (some figures missing) and a folding board, decorated with checkered pattern of red stars on a black ground and gilt flowers on an unpainted ground; the unfolded board measures 8 x 8.6 cm (3 1/8 x 3 3/8 in.), the box overall measures 7.5 x 10 cm (3 x 3 7/8 in.), signed on the cover N. Zinoviev lower left, inscribed and dated Palekh 1929 lower rightLITERATURE:For comparable items, see Soviet Agitational Lacquered Miniature from the Collection of Alexander Dobrovinsky, (Moscow: Iskusstvo-XXI Vek, 2011), pages 148 and 325.LOT NOTES:Nikolai Mikhailovich Zinoviev (1888-1979) was a teacher and a director of the Palekh Art School, awarded the title of The People`s Artist of the USSR, as well as the author of several books on art of Palekh. He is particularly well-known for featuring children in his lacquer miniature painting. It is entirely possible that Nikolai Zinoviev painted himself as the adult in this scene. It is not only a physical similarity between the character and the artist that hints to this conclusion - there are a pot with paintbrushes and a rack with multiple Palekh keepsake boxes situated in the interior of the room depicted. The present lot also features a great resemblance in the painting style, as well as the subject matter, with the other works by the artist: a famous plaque Pioneers` Trial on Baba Yaga and Evil Spirits (from the Collection of Alexander Dobrovinsky) and numerous scenes featured in a desk set with anti-religious playing cards Pioneers Reforming Baba Yaga and Evil Spirits (sold at Shapiro Auctions, October 25, 2014, lot 70)
