λDenis Mitchell (British 1912-1993) St. Keverne Bronze Inscribed with initials, titled, dated 1971 and numbered 6/7 on the underside of base Height: 37.5cm (14 3/4in.) Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner Denis Mitchell grew up in South Wales but moved to Cornwall in 1930 at the age of 18 where he was to remain for the rest of his life. He settled first in St. Ives where the heady artistic energy proved an enduring inspiration. Initially drawn to painting, he worked at a series of jobs whilst always pursuing his artistic ambitions. During the war years, Mitchell worked at the Geever tin mine near Land’s End and this experience of working with his hands and manipulating the stone was to change the course of his life. When the potter Bernard Leach suggested his name to Barbara Hepworth as a potential assistant, he was not only to become a trusted companion to one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, but he would also develop his own successful career. Mitchell worked with Hepworth for ten years between 1949 and 1959 and under her mentorship, he grew in confidence. His first sculptures were in wood with his first bronze in 1959.Due to the high cost of working in bronze, Mitchell could only afford to use a sandcasting foundry in St. Just. The process allowed for only very simple shapes to be cast and resulted in an economy of form which, in hindsight, honed Mitchell’s skills and set him on a path to purity of form for which his work is known. Whatever the medium, Mitchell’s sculptures tend to incorporate just one principle form, stretching and curving upwards into the space. They are an expertly judged balance between space and form, between line and mass and their sleek polished exteriors belie their material weight.From his base in St. Ives, Mitchell was always at the centre of the Cornish abstract movement surrounded by artists that have since become icons of 20th century British Art - Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Terry Frost, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Bryan Wynter, Peter Lanyon and Patrick Heron to name but a few. As Mitchell’s success grew, he found his St. Ives studio too small and opted instead to share a studio with another friend and artist, John Wells, across the Penwith peninsula in Newlyn. In 1969, he moved his family and settled permanently in the town and it was here that much of his most successful work was produced. Mitchell continued to work and exhibit right up until his death at the age of 80 in 1993. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.

λMichael Ayrton (British 1921-1975) Sleeping minotaur Bronze Inscribed with initials and numbered 4/12 4 x 7cm (1½ x 2¾ in.) Provenance: Sale, Sotheby's London, 10th July 1975, Lot 161 Acquired from the above by the present owner Michel Ayrton was a London born artist who excelled as an author, illustrator, sculptor, teacher, broadcaster and so much more. He was the son of poet and critic Gerald Gould and labour politician Barbara Ayrton whose name he assumed after his father’s death in 1936. Although, his studies were often disrupted by periods of illness, he attended the Heatherley’s School of Art and then St John’s School of Art where he met his long-time friend John Minton.At nineteen, he was commissioned to do stage and theatre set designs such as Gielgud's production of Macbeth, which he undertook with Minton. He illustrated several books such as Wyndham Lewis's The Human Age trilogy and Paul Verlain’s ‘Femmes’ and ‘Hombres’ in Lot 213. During the war, he was conscripted into the RAF before being discharged due to his poor health. In 1942, he held a joint exhibition with Minton which secured him a teaching role at the Camberwell School of Art from 1942 - 1944, where he taught life drawing. During the 1960s he travelled, making several trips to Greece where he was inspired by the Greek myths of Daedalus and Icarus, becoming obsessed with the concept of flight and freedom, of mazes and Minotaurs. Themes that would become central to his works of art, such as his sculptures, paintings, poems and his pseudo-autobiographical novel The Maze Maker. Ayrton considered himself very similar to Daedalus in his experiences, works of art and fascination with human flight. The myth inspired many paintings and sculptures such as Sleeping Minotaur depicted here and Maze Torso. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
