Peter Mammes Childhood, 2022 Gouache Paint and Gold Leaf on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Peter Mammes was born in Krugersdorp, South Africa on July 6, 1986, Into an Afrikaans-speaking community. He moved to Johannesburg at the age of 11 and attended the National School of the Arts in Braamfontein, where he received his only formal training in art. Interested predominantly in drawing and painting, he had his first solo exhibition at the age of 16. Peter started working in isolation after high school, developing his drawing skills and making artworks based on medieval European woodcuts. He set up a studio in India in 2013 and later in Russia, where he researched and developed the themes that have become inherent in his work. In 2018 Peter set up a studio in Cairo, Egypt, where he made a series of drawings informed by his research into both ancient Egyptian art and hieroglyphics and contemporary local politics. Peter travels extensively around the world to find ideas and imagery for his work, collecting patterns that he finds on stone carvings and reliefs on temples, facades and graves. He was recently commissioned to design a commemorative coin for circulation for the South African mint, released in 2019. Peter currently resides in London on an exceptional talent visa. His studio is in Whitechapel.

Anton Kannemeyer The De-Platformed Blues 1, 2022 Acrylic, Pen and Ink on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Anton Kannemeyer is a satirical artist and co-founding editor of "Bitterkomix", an anti-apartheid and socio-political comic magazine in South Africa. Anton lectured at three universities in South Africa as senior lecturer for 15 years, and became a full time gallery artist in 2006. Education 1991: BA Fine Arts (Graphic Design) at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. 1993: Honnours in BA Fine Arts (Illustration) cum laude at the University of Stellenbosch. 1997: MA in Fine Arts cum laude at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Select Exhibitions/Awards Anton has exhibited his work extensively in South Africa, Europe and the USA (sixteen solo exhibitions in Johannesburg, New York, Paris, Vienna, Lisbon and Cape Town). He is represented by galeries in New York, Paris, and Vienna. His work has been published in numerous publications and catalogues around the world, and is held in many permanent art collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His book, "Pappa in Afrika", won the best international graphic novel award at the Amadora BD Festival in Portugal in 2015. Gallery Representation Huberty & Breyne, Paris, Jack Shainman, New York and Ernst Hilger, Vienna. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Anton Kannemeyer has lately been criticized for his satirical works dealing with race. The exact same works were praised in articles in "The New York Times", "Art in America", "Modern Painters", "Art South Africa", etc. in the past. His work has always been anti-racist, yet after a series of attacks in social media in 2020, it has become impossible for him to show his work in South Africa - no gallery dares to exhibit his political work anymore. The liberal media, academics and journalists that used to support him, are all very quiet today, afraid of a backlash on social media. There is, according to him, a strong reaction against satire and irony today, and especially against controversial art. The submitted artworks are satirical, showing a "white man" in the position of the traditional American blues guitarist, a metaphor for the loss of political power.

Education 1991: BA Fine Arts (Graphic Design) at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. 1993: Honnours in BA Fine Arts (Illustration) cum laude at the University of Stellenbosch. 1997: MA in Fine Arts cum laude at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Select Exhibitions/Awards Anton has exhibited his work extensively in South Africa, Europe and the USA (sixteen solo exhibitions in Johannesburg, New York, Paris, Vienna, Lisbon and Cape Town). He is represented by galeries in New York, Paris, and Vienna. His work has been published in numerous publications and catalogues around the world, and is held in many permanent art collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His book, "Pappa in Afrika", won the best international graphic novel award at the Amadora BD Festival in Portugal in 2015. Gallery Representation Huberty & Breyne, Paris, Jack Shainman, New York and Ernst Hilger, Vienna. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Anton Kannemeyer has lately been criticized for his satirical works dealing with race. The exact same works were praised in articles in "The New York Times", "Art in America", "Modern Painters", "Art South Africa", etc. in the past. His work has always been anti-racist, yet after a series of attacks in social media in 2020, it has become impossible for him to show his work in South Africa - no gallery dares to exhibit his political work anymore. The liberal media, academics and journalists that used to support him, are all very quiet today, afraid of a backlash on social media. There is, according to him, a strong reaction against satire and irony today, and especially against controversial art. The submitted artworks are satirical, showing a "white man" in the position of the traditional American blues guitarist, a metaphor for the loss of political power.

She creates abstract work about trauma and human relationships; and how the effects of these are felt in our bodies. She uses abstract ribbon forms that are interrupted, or intruded upon, by external objects to explore bodily feelings like hurt, tenderness, and protection. Her work also explores how we adjust to, or conceal the wounds we receive from trauma. How do we make space in our bodies for these wounds, and our strong emotions? Her process of drawing with colored pencils on wood is disciplined and meditative. It invites the viewer to similarly slow down, and notice.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901)Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant (Delteil 343; Adriani 3; Wittrock P4) Lithograph in colours, 1892, on two joined sheets of wove paper (as issued), Wittrock's only state, printed by Ancourt, Paris, with the République Française inkstamp, with margins, laid onto linen, with vertical and horizontal folds, skillfully repaired splits and losses and touched-in restorations in places, surface dirt, mainly to the margins, the colours slightly attenuated but still good, framed; together with the original Les Chansonniers de Montmartre songbook, a special edition on Aristide BruantSheet 1364 x 939mm. (57 x 37 7/8 in.)Footnotes:Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre includes paintings, prints and drawings and he considered printmaking to be just as important as painting. It was in lithography later in his career that he would excel and seal his reputation as one of the greatest colour lithographers of the 19th century.He moved to Paris in 1882 where he experimented with lithography, using dramatic scale, bold outlines and bright colours, inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese woodblock prints which were popular at the time. Toulouse-Lautrec's studio was in Montmartre and he became very well acquainted with the theatrical world, having accepted commissions in the local dance-halls in the 1880s. His paintings hung at the Moulin Rouge and Le Mirliton, where his friend Aristide Bruant was a cabaret singer.He produced 351 lithographs within a ten-year period. Twenty-eight of these were posters which were incredibly popular. Moulin Rouge-La Goulue, produced for the opening of the eponymous cabaret, was an overnight sensation and more commissions followed.Aristide Bruant commissioned the present poster to advertise his new act at the Ambassadeurs café-concert just off the Champs-Elysées, having moved from Montmartre to the more fashionable boulevards of central Paris. Toulouse-Lautrec's knowledge of this world and his friendship with Bruant gave him an advantage when producing these images. He conveys Bruant's big personality by filling the frame with his imposing figure and depicting him in his recognizable customary attire of cape, broad-brimmed hat and bright red scarf, using primary colours to capture people's attention.Toulouse-Lautrec became adept at producing the effects he wanted to render his subjects in just the right way. For Ambassadeurs he drew directly onto the stone and also employed a brush spatter technique where a fine mist of colour is sprayed onto the stone using a brush and mesh. Separate stones were used for each colour and printed in a particular order so they did not interfere with each other and registration marks ensured that they were all in the correct place. Toulouse-Lautrec was assisted by the Ancourt printing firm to print these posters. Their presses were not large enough to print the posters in a single pull so two sheets were used and stuck together. As a commercial poster it was printed in a large edition on thin wove paper and not intended to last a long time, so it is remarkable that it has endured. This impression has been in the same family since the 1940s when it was acquired by the owner's father during a sojourn in Paris. It is accompanied by a copy of Les Chansonniers de Montmartre songbook, containing the sheet music and words for songs in Bruant's act, a further enticement for the audience. It is a testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's technical skill, his powers of observation and use of colour that these images captured people's imagination and became part of the visual language of the belle époque era.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
