Hans Arp (1886-1966) German/French Coulisses de Foret (Wings of the Forest) 1955lithograph in colours (from an edition of 300)signed lower right 36¼ x 31cm (14.3 x 12.2in)Collection of the late Lee Snodgrass, Colorado; Thence by Descent Arntz 330 Born in Strasbourg in 1886, Hans Arp, or Jean Arp as he is also known, was a Franco-German sculptor, painter, poet and print-maker who, after studying art in Weimar, went on to Paris, where he studied at the Academie Julian. A committed Modernist, Arp sought refuge in Switzerland during World War I, and in 1916 became a founding member of the Dada movement. Four years later, along with Max Ernst and Alfred Grünwald, he set up the Cologne Dada group, and in 1922 married a fellow-artist, Sophie Taeuber. Arp was also associated with the Surrealists in Paris, participating in their first exhibition at the Galérie Pierre in 1925. The following year, he and Taeuber settled in the Paris suburb of Meudon. In 1931, he parted company with the Surrealists, to found Abstraction-Création. During the 1930's, Arp produced sculptures in bronze and stone as well as collage works and bas-reliefs. In 1942 he fled from Meudon to Zurich, to escape the German occupation, and spent the rest of World War II in Switzerland. In 1949, he had an exhibition at the Buchholz Gallery in New York and the following year was commissioned to make a relief sculpture for the Harvard University Graduate Center in Cambridge MA. Arp was also commissioned to make a mural at the UNESCO building in Paris. A retrospective of his work was held at MoMA in New York in 1958, and another at the Musée Nationale d'Art Moderne in Paris, in 1962. During the 1950's and 60's, Arp worked on editions of lithographs and woodcuts, in which he explored the possibilities of what at first glance appear to be the simplest of abstract motifs. However, his playful imagination enabled him to create infinite variations, using just two or three solid areas of colour. These were produced as limited editions, in etchings, serigraphs, woodcuts and lithographs. The colour lithograph Coulisses de Foret was produced in 1955, in an edition of 300, for the Kestner Gesellschaft Hannover (Kestner Society, Hannover). [Catalogue raisonne, Wvz. Arntz, Nr. 330c] This print is also in the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Peter Murray, October 2018

John Behan RHA (b.1938) Atlantic Winter Famine Shipunique bronzesigned 73 x 63 x 15cm (28.7 x 24.8 x 5.9in)Private Collection John Behan has explored many themes of ancient mythology, literature and legend. Each theme is moved to a depth of exploration, the imbued meaning in the works derive from his own in-depth knowledge of his subject, which is translated into the shape and form of his bronze work. John Behan is renowned for his many themed works, his great Bulls, Birds or Famine Ships, 'Paiste' and 'Family' are other universal themes explored by Behan. In their simplicity of depiction, they are created with an energy; great metaphors of life's journey. John Behan first created The Famine Ship to stand at the base of Croagh Patrick, County Mayo. Fierce in impact, the hull of the boat is birthed at land, the mast laden with the skeleton bodies of lost emigrants. In large or smaller scale, The Famine Ship series carries an indescribable depth of history, poignant loss and struggle for life. Commissioned by the Irish government to commemorate the contribution of Irish emigrants worldwide, a 26-by-24-foot bronze themed piece on The Famine Ship entitled "Arrival" now stands in the plaza in front of the United Nations headquarters in New York.
