FRANCISCO BORES LÓPEZ (Madrid, 1898 - Paris, 1972)."Femme au citron", 1947.Gouache on paper.Signed and dated in the lower right corner.Preserves the Sala Dalmau label.It has a small tear on the left side.Measurements: 49 x 65.5 cm; 52 x 68.5 cm (frame).In spite of the evident avant-garde language of this work, Bores offers us an image that comes from the pictorial tradition. Both in the subject matter and in the composition of the scene. In the case of the theme, the author resorts to the classic still life structured around a table. The figure of a woman in profile can be seen in the right-hand corner, with her face turned towards the viewer. With regard to the above-mentioned composition, it is worth noting the frontalism with which the artist configures the scene, as well as the fact that the woman seems to be sticking out one of her legs through a frame delimited by the artist's painting. A device that creates a trompe l'oeil, typical of Baroque aesthetics.A contemporary Spanish painter belonging to the so-called New School of Paris, Francisco Bores trained at Cecilio Pla's painting academy, where he met Pancho Cossío, Manuel Ángeles Ortiz and Joaquín Peinado, among others. He also frequented the literary gatherings in Madrid associated with ultraism. During this period he made engravings for a large number of magazines, such as "Horizonte" and "Revista de Occidente", and attended Julio Moisés's Academia Libre, where he coincided with Dalí and Benjamín Palencia. In 1922 he took part for the first time in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, and three years later he showed his work at the first Exhibition of the Society of Iberian Artists, but the Madrid public's lack of interest in young art prompted him to leave for Paris. In the French capital he came into contact with Picasso and Juan Gris, and made his individual debut in 1927, contracted by the Percier gallery. During these years, and through his friendship with Picasso, he began his relationship with the art critic Tériade, who devoted an extensive article to him in "Cahiers d'Art". It was at this point that his artistic career began to take off. In 1929 he took part in the exhibition "Pintores y escultores españoles residentes en París" (Spanish Painters and Sculptors Resident in Paris), held at the Botanical Gardens in Madrid. Around this time he also contributed to avant-garde magazines such as "Litoral", "La Bête Noire", "Martín Fierro", etc. In 1931 he had a solo exhibition at the Georges Bernheim gallery in Paris, and at the same time he signed a contract with the Swiss gallery owner Max Esiherberger. In 1932 and 1933 he exhibited at the Vavin-Raspail gallery in Paris, coinciding with the appearance of the first monograph on his painting. In the mid-1930s he was contracted by the Zwemmer gallery in London, where he held a solo exhibition. His work is influenced by Picasso's Cubism and, on occasions, by Surrealism and abstraction. Francisco Bores became a master in the use of colour, the application of which sometimes follows abstract criteria, to such an extent that it replaces drawing or line in defining objects, figures and the space in which they are inserted. There is also a clear tendency in his language towards experimentation with colour, which led him to pamper the chromatic semitones. In the 1930s, Bores himself defined his painting as "lyricism and sensuality (...) within a composition organised in pursuit of a synthesis analogous to the impression produced by a single visual instant". After the Second World War Bores resumed his exhibition activity, and in 1947 the French state acquired a work by Bores for the first time. In 1949 the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought his paintings. In the 1950s he continued to exhibit his works in many European galleries.

* EILEEN LAWRENCE RSA,ASCENTgold leaf and watercolour on paper, signed, titled and dated 1989image size 41cm x 18cm, overall size 63cm x 39cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Eileen Lawrence RSA was born in Leith and studied at Edinburgh College of Art (1963 – 1968). Using a precise and detailed technique like a botanical illustrator, Lawrence produces drawings and watercolours of natural objects, such as feathers and twigs. These items are collected by the artist on visits to the countryside. Lawrence`s intensely detailed studies are a way of meditating on man`s spiritual relationship to nature. Her first solo exhibition was held at the 57 Gallery, Edinburgh, in 1969. Significant early exhibitions included participation in the 1977 Paris Biennale and the seminal touring exhibition, Inscape, organised by the Scottish Arts Council around the same period. In 1978 Lawrence secured her first major solo exhibition, held at the Arnolfini, Bristol. These exhibitions cemented Lawrence’s reputation and acquisitions by the Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland followed. In 1992 the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, held a retrospective of Lawrence’s practice and this toured to the Usher Gallery, Lincoln. Since then, major exhibitions have been held at Drumcroon, Wigan; Worcester City Art Gallery; the Pier Arts Centre, Stromness, Orkney; and the Mead Gallery, Warwick.
