Helen Keller was a remarkable American author, political activist, and lecturer who overcame significant physical disabilities to become an inspirational figure known worldwide. She is perhaps best known for her advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities and her lifelong partnership with her teacher and mentor, Anne Sullivan. Here are key points about Helen Keller's life and legacy:1. **Early Life**: Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA. At the age of 19 months, she was struck by an illness, most likely scarlet fever or meningitis, which left her both deaf and blind.2. **Anne Sullivan**: Anne Sullivan, a young teacher who had experienced vision problems herself, was hired to be Helen's instructor in 1887. Sullivan's remarkable teaching methods and patience played a crucial role in Helen's education.3. **Communication Breakthrough**: Anne Sullivan taught Helen to communicate by using finger spelling to spell words into Helen's hand. This breakthrough allowed Helen to understand language and express herself.4. **Education**: Helen Keller attended the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, Massachusetts, and later Radcliffe College, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her academic achievements were extraordinary given her disabilities.5. **Advocacy**: Keller was a lifelong advocate for people with disabilities. She worked to improve conditions for the blind, the deaf, and those with other disabilities. Her activism helped raise awareness about the importance of education and opportunities for people with disabilities.6. **Author and Speaker**: Helen Keller wrote several books during her lifetime, including her autobiography, "The Story of My Life," published in 1903. She also traveled extensively as a lecturer, sharing her experiences and advocating for social and political causes.7. **Political Activism**: Keller was an advocate for a range of social and political issues, including women's suffrage, pacifism, and workers' rights. She was a member of the Socialist Party of America and spoke out against war, including World War I.8. **Helen Keller Day**: In 1960, Helen Keller was honored with the creation of Helen Keller Day, recognized by presidential proclamation, in honor of her contributions to society.9. **Recognition and Awards**: Throughout her life, Keller received numerous awards and honors for her advocacy and achievements, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964, the highest civilian award in the United States.10. **Later Life**: Helen Keller remained active in public life throughout her later years. She continued to write, lecture, and advocate for social justice causes until her health began to decline.11. **Death**: Helen Keller passed away on June 1, 1968, at her home in Easton, Connecticut, at the age of 87.12. **Legacy**: Helen Keller's life and work continue to inspire people around the world. She demonstrated the power of perseverance, education, and determination in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. Her story serves as a symbol of the potential for individuals with disabilities to achieve great accomplishments.Helen Keller's journey from isolation and darkness to becoming an internationally recognized advocate for the disabled and a symbol of hope and determination is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and capacity for growth. Her legacy endures through her writings, speeches, and the ongoing work of organizations dedicated to supporting people with disabilities.Measures 36 x 28.

Donker, 1989), p.122Irma Stern's handwriting, given her expressive hand, prevents the date of 'The Yellow Hat' from being clearly legible. The last digit of the date she has inscribed beneath her signature in the lower left corner of the painting is unclear.More clear is an inscription, not in Stern's hand, on the stretcher that includes reference to the Wolpe Gallery and was probably made in the 1960s when Joe Wolpe befriended the artist. The inscription reads 'The Man in the Yellow Hat (1938)'. It is this inscription that seems to have persuaded previous cataloguers to date the work '1938' when it was first brought to market in 1988. In fact, the origin of the painting can be traced with certainty to the beginning of this decade, to 1931 when Stern spent a few months on Madeira on her way to Europe. A drawing that is unmistakably a portrait study for the painting is preserved in the Irma Stern Museum and is clearly dated 1931 (Irma Stern Trust #741). As Stern left Madeira on the Kenilworth Castle in November 1931 the painting is likely to have been at least started before then. She had an exhibition of some of her Madeira work at Foyle's Gallery, London, in January 1932, but it is not known what works were shown because there is no exhibition list preserved in her Scrapbooks at the National Library of South Africa in Cape Town. Nor did the work feature on the list of her first exhibition following her return to Cape Town, at Ashbey's Gallery in November. But it is listed in both her exhibition at MacFadyen Hall, University of Pretoria, in April 1933 (as #24 at 40 guineas), and that at Lezard's Gallery, Johannesburg, in May (#20). And 'The Yellow Hat' was shown at Newlands House, Cape Town, between 19 and 26 February 1934, as #24 again at 40 guineas. Although Stern left the island before the end of 1931, some of her Madeira paintings, for example 'The Fisherman' and 'The Two Harlots', are clearly dated 1932. The last digit of the date on 'The Yellow Hat' may best be explained by imagining Stern completing the work with signature and date while still on the island but revising both the work and the date in 1932 or 1933 after she had returned to South Africa. Stern wrote (in her inimitable style) on 11 October 1931 from Madeira to Roza van Gelderen, her friend in Cape Town, that she was staying in Santa Cruz, on the east coast of the island in 'a delight full fisher village': 'You cannot imagine how interessing [sic] this all is for me. But how I ever can go away from here and feel happy again I do not know – it is so full of beauty and colour and life.'There are indications at other times during her stay that she was not always so happy and even that she might have had some kind of breakdown, but Karel Schoeman is undoubtedly correct in suggesting that Stern used her visit to Madeira to find a new direction in her art, particularly for the role of colour. According to an interview she gave in June 1931, a few months before her stay in Madeira, Stern found the colour scheme of her 'Native Studies', that had been her principal subject up to this time, limited to the browns of African bodies enlivened only by touches of orange, red and green; and that she felt the need to expand her palette, interestingly through the medium of Still Life painting that allowed the distribution of colour accents across the picture surface. And, in 1933, looking back on the time leading up to her visit to Madeira, she stated:'But now a growing absorption in colour theory even to the exclusion of the subject-matter, overtook me to such a degree that for two or three years all my work consisted in studying and building up a new palette. The year 1931 brought me for a few months to Madeira where I was able to harvest the benefits of my recent studies.' The reaction to Madeira expressed in her letter to van Gelderen confirms that she found beauty and colour there. Significantly, she also found 'life' in human figures who were rather less passive than the mode she had devised for her African subjects.'The Yellow Hat' is one of several fisher subjects that Stern exhibited in South Africa in 1933 and 1934. While perhaps not as overtly dramatic as other subjects she recorded in Madeira – such as 'The Hunchback', 'The Blind Boy', 'The Two Harlots', etc. – ocean fishing was seen generally at that time as a heroic occupation representing the idea of human struggle with nature. To capture the implicit drama of these fishermen's lives, Stern returned to her Expressionist roots in her vigorous brushstrokes, loosely defined planes, broken contours, and compressed spaces. All these devices were achieved through a newly energised application of colour. The mood of many of Stern's Madeira paintings is sombre, not to say tragic. But in 'The Yellow Hat' she uses the bright yellow of the large Sou'Wester to introduce a heightened, even fauvist palette as another way to express the exceptional nature of the mariner's heroism. As D.L. wrote in response to the Lezard Gallery exhibition in 'Miss Irma Stern's Exhibition. A Brilliant Modernist', in The Star, May 11 1933, ''Yellow Hat', and several more are not only harmonious in colour, but express the character of their subjects in a way quite impossible by more conventional methods'.We are grateful to Professor Michael Godby for his completion of the above footnote.BibliographyJeanne van Eeden, 'Irma Stern's First Exhibition in Pretoria, 1933', South African Journal of Art History, 13, (1988), pp.89-104.Marion Arnold, Irma Stern, A Feast for the Eye, (Cape Town: Fernwood Press, 1995), passim, for the Madeira works.Karel Schoeman, Irma Stern, The Early Years, 1894-1933, (Cape Town: The South African Library), pp. 99-100.'Irma Stern and her Work', South African Life and the Woman's Forum, (December 7 1933)This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Full title: A Hispano-Moresque luster-glazed albarello, Manises, Spain, 3rd quarter 15th C.Description:H.: 29,5 cm Provenance:- Property of The Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Foundation; On loan to the Duke University Museum of Art, 1956-2020. Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans (1920-2012) was an American philanthropist, local and state-wide leader, and patron of the arts. A member of the Duke University Board of Trustees and the first female chairman of The Duke Endowment, she helped guide these institutions during five decades of service. In the 1960's she helped found the North Carolina School of the Arts, the USA’s first public conservatory, and in her mother's memory, created The Mary Duke Biddle Gallery for the Blind at the North Carolina Museum of Art.

G.563, for a related example. (direct link available on rm-auctions.com)- In Sam Fogg's exhibition catalogue 'Lustreware from Spain', a related example is shown (nr. 7). Here, it is noted that 'a group of albarelli whose style (like that of the charger in the preceding entry) is typical of ceramics from the Valencian town of Manises. From the late fourteenth century Manises became famous for its production of cobalt-blue and lustreware and, along with Paterna, it developed into one of the most important Valencian centres for the production of Hispano-Moresque pottery. The special attraction of Manises pottery was its workshops’ mastery over the challenging lustred glaze. The Manises lustre had an orange-gold hue, produced with a silver pigment and about a tenth part of copper, which demanded a specialised firing process at much lower temperatures than other glazes. The combination of pointed leaf, looped tendril, fern ornament and bryony flower that decorate our vessel emerged from the earlier fioralixi designs thought to have entered Valencian potters’ repertoires by around 1430, and help date its production to the middle years of the century. Variations of this delicate form of decoration, at once refined and energetic, soon found currency among Europe’s wealthy patrons, and the rarefied, luxury status of such ceramics is evinced by their incorporation into contemporary panel paintings including most famously of all Hugo van der Goes’ Portinari Altarpiece of around 1475, today in the Galleria degli Uffizi (link to catalogue available on rm-auctions.com)Condition:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.Condition reports are provided on request.

R.) nearly extremely fine, the last rare to unit Pair: Second Lieutenant W. P. Westwood, 6th Battalion attached 1/4th Battalion, Suffolk Regiment, who was killed in action on 26 September 1917 British War and Victory Medals (2. Lieut. W. P. Westwood.) nearly extremely fine (5) £600-£800 --- One of only two Territorial Force War Medals recorded as having been issued to the Hertfordshire Regiment. Cecil Frank Wightman served as Signalling Officer in the Hertfordshire Regiment, and later served as a Brigade Major on the Staff of 19th Division Head Quarters, landing in France in June 1916. His home address in 1921 was at The Old Palace, Royston, Herts. In civilian life he was a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Plarr’s Lives of the Fellows Online carries the following entry: ‘Born at Bungay, Suffolk, 7 January 1870, the fifth son of Henry Wightman, draper, and his wife, née Hambling. He was educated at the Grammar Schools at Bungay and Great Yarmouth, before proceeding to St Bartholomew's Hospital. From the Hospital he passed the final examination for FRCS at the age of 23. He filled the offices of house surgeon at the Scarborough Hospital, at the Chichester Infirmary, and at the Bolton Infirmary. In 1896 he entered into general practice in Leicester, but soon moved to Cornwall Gardens, London, where he practised as a consultant. Failing health led him to settle at Royston in 1902, where he entered into partnership with Dr C W Windsor, and retired in 1926 when his eyesight began to fail. He acted for many years as surgeon to the Royston Hospital, and was instrumental in getting it enlarged as the Royston and District Hospital. During the war he served with the Hertfordshire Regiment, and retired with the rank of major. He died unmarried at the Old Palace, Royston on 4 May 1937, and was buried at Therfield, Royston, Herts. He left £100 to St Dunstan's Home for the Blind. Dr Wightman did much for Royston. He was a good churchman, being Vicar's warden 1917-1929, was interested in the Boy Scout movement, and was the mainstay of the Social Club, where he was president for many years, until he resigned the position in 1933.’ Sold with a copy of his publication First Aid in Accidents, published jointly with Sir John Collie, London, 1912 (this in very distressed condition with covers and binding detached, contents good); two period photographs including the recipient, one being a group photo of a prize presentation, and the other as driver of a vintage motor vehicle; with additional copied press cuttings, including a photograph, and obituary. Walter Peter Westwood was the son of Mrs. Clara Westwood, of 43, Queen's Road, Royston, Hertfordshire, with his widowed mother remarrying Cecil Frank Wightman (see above). Westwood served in the ranks of the Suffolk Regiment as Colour Sergeant, but was commissioned prior to overseas service. He landed in France on 4 May 1917, and was killed in action on the 26 September 1917. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial, Belgium.
