Ronald George Brown. (128366) I have the honour to recommend the above named officer for the A.F.C. in recognition of his work in 1402 Meteorological Flight as Pilot of the high altitude ascent Spitfires for the past year. During this time he has made 250 ascents to 40,000 ft. frequently under the most adverse weather conditions imaginable. In one period of three months he made 90 ascents, not missing a single day, although in many cases visibility at take-off and landing was practically nil. In spite of the heavy strain imposed on him by this intensity of work, his cheerfulness and keenness to fly set a high example to the remainder of the Flight. All these ascents have been made in a Spitfire VI, in which the difficulties of the Pilot include nil forward visibility in rain, and the fact the hood of the pressure cabin remains locked in the position throughout the sortie. It is solely due to the Keenness and zeal of this officer, that the Prata sortie has been completed with such unfailing regularity, since for long periods no other qualified Spitfire pilots were available for the bad whether sorties. The fact that meteorological reports arising from the sortie have been available every day during the past year has been made possible only by the selfless devotion to duty of F/O. Brown, who has never allowed consideration of personal safety to prevent him from flying. His ability as a Pilot is of the highest order, and this is amply demonstrated by the fact that, in spite of having made well over 350 flights during the year, on no occasion has he damaged and aircraft in any way”.Ronald George Brown Enlisted into the RAFVR on the outbreak of war, and immediately commenced his flying training. His first operational squadron was 48 squadron, where he flew Anson’s in Anti/Submarine and convoy patrols from August 1940 to the end of January 1941. From 48 squadron, Brown commenced training in Spitfires and was transferred to No 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit in March 1941, flying his first operation on the 19th March, a Photo recce mission to Caen and two days later another mission to the cape de la Hague.  Flying no less than 65 photo recon Missions, to targets such as the Dortmund-ems canal, Copenhagen, Bergen, Oslo, Lannion, St. Malo among many others. After other postings, Brown was transferred to 1402 Meteorological Flight based at Aldegrove, where He was a high altitude spitfire Pilot and made no less than 350 flights whilst with the Unit, with an unblemished crash record. Because of his behaviour, skill and devotion to duty to duty in this period, that Brown was awarded the Air Force Cross. Brown Continued to fly with the RAF until August 1947.

signed oil on board 33 by 56,5cm (including frame) In this mixed media work the artist evokes a humble corrugated iron shelter and white-washed lean-to with a series of golden-yellow rounded forms, reminiscent of pumpkins ripening on a roof. He has cleverly extended the canvas onto the surrounding striations of the picture frame in order to depict smoke rising from the whitewashed chimney, creating in his own distinct manner an iconic rural Cape scene. Stanley Pinker was an artist and recipient of the Molteno Medal for painting. His contribution to our cultural landscape is immeasurable and he is celebrated as belonging to a continuum of great artists from Cezanne to Matisse He worked at Michaelis School of Fine Art as a lecturer for many years until 1986 when he retired. In 2012, at the age of 87, he passed away after a lifetime in art. ?He was one of the few SA painters who understood and continued to explore the implications of Cubism and painterly, textural surface-materiality with intelligence and wit. Ingenious in his magpie eclecticism, he drew inspiration from the moderns from Cezanne to Braque to Matisse to Klee. Infusing his work with something of the humour of pop art, he focused on subjects and an ironic content particularly reflective of South(ern) Africa?s beautiful landscapes; its society and its ills, creating a unique vision and a leaving us a great artistic legacy. No SA art museum can ever have enough of his work.? Hayden Proud, curator of historical paintings at Iziko SA National Gallery, was taught by Pinker. - Carol Kaufmann

signed with the artist's initials oil on canvas Thompson, J., Gwelo Goodman: South African Artist, Howard B Timmins, Cape Town, 1951 illustrated on p60-61 59 by 74cmNewlands House, where Robert Gwelo Goodman would make his residence in 1920, had during the time of World War I served as a hospital. Upon seeing the house for the first time not only was he struck by its beauty, but he immediately began to imagine the practical steps he could take to make it liveable, loveable and enjoyable. He saw the house as it used to be, with its magnificent rooms and 5 meter high ceilings, huge windows, and, as depicted in the current lot, a central passage 3.5 meters wide and 28 meters long - a home that was at the same time spacious, cool and wholly beguiling. Gwelo had always held a fascination with furniture and was a keen collector thereof. After placing all the furniture items he had so meticulously collected in England, he found himself with much room to fill, and so began his passion for collecting Cape furniture. This is noticeable in The Hall, Newlands House which is bedecked almost entirely with Cape pieces, showcasing two armoires, a pair of demi-lune tables, a stinkwood occasional table, two gueridons, a caned chair, and a low cupboard upon which a depiction of Ruth Prowse by Moses Kottler, now homed in the IZIKO South African National Gallery, serenely sits. Once Gwelo and his wife had furnished their home to satisfaction, the house took on somewhat of the character of a gracious museum. It was during his time assisting Dora Fairbridge in writing her book, Historic Houses of South Africa, that Gwelo found a fascination in depicting his own home. My Studio of 1919, the present lot: The Hall of 1922 and The Dining Room painted in 1922/3 are considered amongst Gwelo?s finest works during this period. - Kayleen Wrigley
