‡ DAVID WOODFORD (b.1938) large, fine exhibition quality oil on canvas - Llyn Llydaw, Eryri (Snowdonia) with clouds and shaft of sunlight inscribed verso, 82 x 118cmsProvenance: private collection West Midlands, smaller version of this scene illustrated as Plate 32, 'The Art of David Woodford - Mountains and Memories' by Tom Dutton (Gwasg Carreg Gwalch) 2016Auctioneer's Note (Dr Harry Heuser): rooted in the experience of nature and its close observation, David Woodford’s paintings are at once monumental and of the moment. Ranging from pochades (or pocket-size plein-air sketches) of arresting immediacy to sublime large-scale canvases, such as this example, on which the artist keeps working in his studio for as long as ten years, these landscapes are as much concerned with the eternal as they are with the evanescent.Woodford captures the distinctive features of the rugged Welsh countryside, with special focus on the grandeur of Eryri (Snowdonia), where the Shropshire-born artist has been living for over half a century. More than achieving topographical transcripts of the land, however, his paintings captivate us with their intentness on the atmosphere and the mercurial temperament of the elements – the ‘fugitive … moods’ of nature, as Woodford puts it – that make startlingly new and revelatory what we might assume to be unchanging.A Royal Cambrian Academician who trained at West Sussex College of Art and, as a mature student returning to college after a five-year period of teaching, at the Royal Academy Schools in London, Woodford has been committed to a sustained engagement with nature since the late 1960s. At a time when drawing and painting were being challenged by conceptualism, when academic and curatorial attention was diverted from traditional methods and materials to new media, Woodford set out rigorously to pursue the essentials that many practitioners and educators temporarily and, in some cases, permanently abandoned. As Woodford acknowledges, his practice has benefitted greatly from the instruction and insights he received in his schooling from ‘painters who taught, not teachers who painted.’Woodford’s works have been exhibited widely in England and Wales; a major retrospective featuring over 200 paintings and drawings was staged in 2023 at Oriel Môn. The subject of books including The Art of David Woodford (2016), his works are in the collections of The Arts Council, The National Library of Wales, and the National Museum of Wales.Woodford’s landscapes are only gaining in relevance. They are increasingly resonant in an age in which human interventions into nature threaten what we thought would not only take care of itself but continue to sustain us. Anticipating contemporary debates, Woodford has long presented us with a world without people, a world that, he says, ‘will survive without them.’ Contemplative, studious and unwavering, his art, both singly and collectively, brings home how rewarding a lifelong creative process of discovery can be.Dr Harry Heuser, curator, art writer and researcher, co-author of Welsh artist biographiesComments: framed, ready to hangDelivery: complimentary delivery can be arranged for all purchases over £4000 in this Welsh Sale auction (England and Wales only) please contact brj@rjauctions.co.uk for further detailsLATER NOTE: location of scene corrected since the printing of the hardcopy catalogue

‡ HYWEL HARRIES (1921-1990) oil on board - entitled verso, 'Salem Revisited', signed and dated '73, 59 x 75cmsProvenance: the Welsh art collection of award-winning television producer, the late Pat Llewellyn (1962-2017), by descentAuctioneer's Note (Prof. Robert Meyrick):Hywel Harries’ Salem Re-visited is an interpretation of Salem, a 1908 watercolour by Sydney Curnow Vosper. It is a reminder of the historic significance of chapel-going in Wales and the centrality of Nonconformist Christianity in Wales. An art teacher, painter and cartoonist, Harries understood the cultural reference in Vosper’s painting, which shows the interior of Capel Salem Cefncymerau near Harlech. Purchased by industrialist William Hesketh Lever, the image became familiar through mass-circulated reproductions advertising Sunlight Soap.In October 2019, Rogers Jones successfully brokered the purchase by the National Library of Wales of Vosper’s second version of the painting. Vosper painted Salem in the wake the 1904-05 Welsh Revival, which saw a resurgence of religion. Once a national icon, emblematic of religious piety among the rural poor in Wales, Salem’s ubiquity depended on that context. In the intervening years it was distributed through Urdd Gobaith Cymru, reproduced as covers for Cymru Fydd calendars, and used by nationalists and Welsh language activists. As art historian Peter Lord points out, framed prints of Salem are nowadays consigned to ‘folk memory,’ a curious relic of times past. Carmarthenshire born, Harries trained at Llanelli School of Art until 1941, when his studies were interrupted by RAF service. After resuming his studies at Cardiff Technical College in 1947, he held teaching posts at Ealing and Machynlleth before his 1954 appointment as Head of Art at Ardwyn Grammar School (later Penglais Comprehensive School) at Aberystwyth, a position he held until his retirement in 1981.Harries is best known for his paintings of Aberystwyth townscapes and the landscape of Ceredigion. He developed a distinctive handling of layered dry paint using a soft warm palette. His landscapes often explored spatial effects and the decorative flattening of interlocking planes of colour, pattern and form, while his townscapes deploy a narrower tonal range and muted colours. Harries’ Salem Re-visited paintings were a rare dalliance with abstraction. Fellow Welshman Ceri Richards had likewise sought contemporary responses to familiar subjects when he made paintings after Rubens’ The Rape of the Sabine Women in the National Gallery, London, in 1946. Harries would also have been aware of Pablo Picasso’s abstracted translations of paintings by Cranach, Velázquez, and Ingres.Salem portrays the 71-year-old widow Siân Owen Tŷ’n y Fawnog taking her pew before the start of a service. Even in 1908 the scene depicted by Vosper was something of an anachronism. Stove-pipe hats were rarely worn then; in fact, only one such hat could be sourced for the women to model. In 1938, Vosper recalled the names of his sixpence-an-hour models; among them were a local carpenter, farmer, shopkeeper and a tailor’s dummy he named Leusa Jones. In Salem Re-visited, Harries has lettered their names on or alongside each character. The popular belief is that the devil lies in the detail of the folds of Siân Owen’s richly patterned paisley shawl, even though Vosper refuted that the likeness was intentional. There is no ambiguity in Harries’ flat monochrome rendering of the shawl as the profile of a demonic face in contrast to its colourful surroundings. Uncharacteristically for Harries, the act of painting appears on this occasion to be more important than representation or narrative. The illusion of pictorial space being abandoned, the relative position of the congregation becomes unclear. The jigsaw arrangement of overlapping shapes allude to the fragmentary nature of appearances in momentary glances. Peter Lord described this approach as a ‘Cubist-cum-patchwork quilt oil painting.’For Harries, there was an additional resonance in Vosper’s Salem. He was himself a man of faith and a staunch chapel-goer. He was an elder at Capel Salem (later to become Capel Morfa) in Aberystwyth. Always smartly presented in jacket, collar and tie, there was nothing bohemian about him. Indeed, Harries looked every bit the chapel deacon. Founding Ceredigion Art Society in 1963, Harries placed his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for art into the service of the community. He was Vice-President of the Royal Cambrian Academy and chaired the Art and Craft Committee of the Council of the National Eisteddfod. In retirement, he authored several books, among them Cymru’r Cynfas: Pymtheg Artist Cyfoes [Wales on Canvas: Fifteen Contemporary Artists] (1983).Prof. Robert Meyrick, art historian, curator and educator, until recently Professor, Head of Aberystwyth University’s School of Art and Keeper of the School of Art Museum and Galleries.

Serge Poliakoff(1906 Moskau - 1969 Paris)"Composition grise et noire" (Komposition in Grau und Schwarz). Originaltitel1959 entstandene für Poliakoffs Oeuvre repräsentative, asymmetrische Komposition aus abgestuften, hellsilbergrauen bis zu annähernd schwarzen Flächen. Die Werke Poliakoffs bestehen aus einfachen, nebeneinander liegenden, fast strukturlosen, reinen Farbflächen, wobei ihre freie Anordnung und der Verzicht auf geometrische Strenge ganz der lyrischen und musikalischen Persönlichkeit des Künstlers entsprach. Auch in unserer Komposition harmonieren die Flächen miteinander, sie sind zwar formal getrennt, aber doch in einer bemerkenswerten, immanenten Ausgewogenheit untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Poliakoff, einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der "École des Paris", emigrierte 1923 nach Paris. Seit 1935 fand er dort sukzessive zur Abstraktion, Farbe und Fläche wurden alleiniges Ausdrucksmittel. Entscheidend beeinflusste ihn Kandinsky, den er 1937 kennenlernte. Durch Sonja und Robert Delaunay erkannte er die emotive Wirkung von Farbe und Simultankontrasten, Otto Freundlich inspirierte ihn durch seine gebogenen "Farbform-Kompositionen". 1938 beschickte Poliakoff erstmals den Salon des Indépendants, 1945 zeigte die Galerie l’Esquisse eine erste Ausstellung mit abstrakten Bildern Poliakoffs, 1946 beteiligt sich Poliakoff am ersten Salon des Réalités nouvelles. In den folgenden Jahren gelang Poliakoff mit seinen puzzle- bzw. teppichartigen Kompositionen aus aneinandergrenzenden, vibrierenden Farbflächen der internationale Durchbruch. 1959 und 1964 beteiligte er sich an der documenta I und II; 1960 erhielt Poliakoff eine Einzelausstellung in Berner Kunsthalle mit 137 Bildern; 1962 widmete man ihm sogar einen eigenen Saal auf der Biennale in Venedig. Mitte der 1960er Jahre war Poliakoff schließlich einer der berühmtesten und bedeutendsten Maler seiner Generation. Gouache/Papier. R. u. sign.; 47 cm x 63 cm.

Scale was studying at Farnham School of Art in the 1930s.Ursula McCannell (1923-2015) was the only child to the painter Otway McCannell, the former head of Farnham School of Art where K.M. Scale studied. At the age of 13 she showed at the Wertheim Gallery and had her first major exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in London when she was sixteen, which led to her being elected the youngest member of the Woman's International Art Society and the youngest exhibitor at both the New English Art Club and the Royal Academy (1940).Ursula McCannell studied at the Farnnham Art School, benefiting from her father's enthusiasm and discipline. She attended the Royal College of Art where she met Peter Rees Roberts whom she later married. In the succeeding years she had numerous one man shows at prestigious, leading galleries and important group shows including: Royal Academy, Leicester Galleries (London) €“ 'Artists of Fame and Promise', Leger Gallery (London) the London Group and the New English Art Club.Her work is held in many private and public collections including the Contemporary Arts Society and Manchester City Art Gallery.The picture showing Ursula at the easel at aged 14 shows the influence of K.M. Scale, who as a fellow young female artist, was no doubt an inspiration to Ursula's burgeoning talents.

*LEO DAVY (1924-1987) 'Untitled' circa 1984, oil on board, 127cm x 182.9cmLeo Davy was born in 1924 in Shipley, Yorkshire, the seventh of nine surviving children to an art teacher and painter father and a mother who was the daughter of a painter. At the age of just ten he won a national drawing competition and in 1939 he studied at the Kingston School of Art, under Reginald Brill, before moving on the Slade School of Fine Art between 1942 and 1945, then evacuated to Oxford due to the Blitz, where he studied alongside such future stars as Kyffin Williams. Davy was included in a mixed summer show at the important contemporary gallery Gimpel-Fils in 1950 alongside avant-garde artists of the day, including Patrick Heron, William Gear, Alan Davie and William Scott.Davy was strongly dedicated to the development of abstraction. It was through his panel paintings and works on paper that he reduced and refined scenes of everyday life into his own carefully considered abstract vision, applying thinck paint and washes to form blocks of colour, often quite angular. He settled in a dilapidated cottage in North Cornwall in 1968 with his wife, where he lived and worked until his sudden death in 1987. Davy was a self-imposed outsider, as David Duncan remembers: Davy was 'a man of very few words, in fact would only speak if spoken to'. Although Davy's main intent was to isolate himself and to follow an independent line of philosophical enquiry through his painting, his art was an essential means of communication to the rest of the world. As Davy proclaimed in 1946, at the age of 20, 'I only want to paint what only I can paint.' .Framed dimensions: 131cm x 206cm

Vernacular buildings, both rural and urban, domestic and functional are a source of geometric, architectural forms. More recently pieces of broken ceramics found in the fields near home on the edge of the Potteries in Staffordshire have brought a different scale of reference. A reductive approach to these sources is used to select and refine the intentional placement of linear and spatial elements. These are set against the more random physicality of different surfaces whether they are hand applied plaster or the grain of plywood that connect back to the built environment. Laughton worked in architecture for twelve years before returning to education to study art graduating with a BA Hons in 2002. She currently works from Vale Artists Studios in Cheshire.

JAMES DIXON (1887–1970) Cutty Sark Oil on paper laid on board, 54.5 x 76cm (21½ x 30") Signed and inscribed 'Cutty Sark, the famous British Windjammer' Exhibited: London Auction/Desmond Fine Art, 'Contemporary Artists from Ireland' July 1990***PLEASE NOTE: Catalogue description should read 'Oil on paper laid on board'***The idea of an unmediated connection to place is most evident in the paintings of the untrained Tory Island painter James Dixon (1887-1970). After meeting the artist Derek Hill, he started painting in the late 1950s. Dixon’s images of Tory, although influenced by Hill’s practice, seem to convey an honest, engaged representation of the island. Unlike other artists of the time depicting island life, Dixon was a native islander who had spent his entire life in its environment.In Cutty Sark, Dixon has depicted a British clipper ship set against an expanse of blue sea. Dixon has faithfully rendered the elegant design of the ship with its refined hull shape, raked masts and large sail area. As with other works by Dixon he has flattened the perspective, and instead of distance horizon line, the sky and sea meet, dark grey clouds rising from the surface. He uses quick brushstrokes applied in varying directions to suggest the ocean swell, adding flecks of white paint as the waves crest and break. The ship looks small against its surroundings, the rough waves crashing off the bow as it glides through the water. There is a small section of the canvas in the bottom right-hand corner that Dixon has left unpainted, instead inscribing 'Cutty Sark, the famous British Windjammer'.James Dixon was born on Tory Island, Co. Donegal, the most remote of all Ireland’s off shore islands. Apart from an occasional visit to the mainland and one short period in the west of Ireland as a fishing instructor, Dixon spent most of his life there and was one of the most significant members of the highly regarded Tory Island school of primitive art. Dixon and other islanders painted what they saw around them in a distinctive detailed, naturalistic style: boats, the wild seas, the island and the small villages grandly named East Town and West Town.The artist Derek Hill organised exhibitions of the work of the Tory school painters, the first of which took place at the New Gallery, Belfast in 1966, with subsequent exhibitions in Dublin, Vienna and London. In 1990 a retrospective exhibition was held at the Glebe Gallery, Co. Donegal, and the Boole Library, University College Cork. James Dixon along with Alfred Wallis was also the subject of a major exhibition in 1999 that opened in IMMA before travelling to Tate St. Ives. Dixon's work is included in the collections of The Ulster Museum, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, The Hugh Lane Gallery, Bournemouth Art Gallery as well as being well represented at Derek Hill’s Glebe House and Gallery in Churchill, Co. Donegal.Our thanks to Róisín Kennedy whose writings formed the basis of this catalogue note Condition Report: Very good condition Frame with some very minor losses to edges of corners Should read 'Oil on paper laid on board', which is typical for this artist
