CIRCLE OF ROBERT MACBRYDE (1913 - 1966) STILL LIFE oil on board 69cm x 84cm Provenance: Private Collection, London Note: Robert MacBryde was a Scottish still-life and figure painter and a theatre set designer. MacBryde was born in Maybole, Ayrshire, to John MacBryde, a cement labourer, and Agnes Kennedy MacBryde. He worked in a factory for five years after leaving school before studying art at Glasgow School of Art from 1932 to 1937. There, he met Robert Colquhoun, with whom he established a lifelong romantic relationship and professional collaboration, the pair becoming known as "the two Roberts". MacBryde studied and travelled in France and Italy, assisted by scholarships, returning to London in 1939. He shared studio space with Colquhoun, and the pair shared a house with John Minton and, from 1943, Jankel Adler. MacBryde held his first one-person exhibition at the Lefevre Gallery in 1943. At the height of their acclaim they courted a large circle of friends - including Michael Ayrton, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and John Minton as well as the writers Fred Urquhart, George Barker, Elizabeth Smart, and Dylan Thomas - and were renowned for their parties at their studio (77 Bedford Gardens). Influenced by Graham Sutherland and John Piper, MacBryde became a well-known painter of the Modernist school of art, known for his brightly coloured Cubist studies. His later work evolved into a darker, Expressionist range of still lifes and landscapes. In collaboration with Colquhoun, he created several set designs during and after the Second World War. These included sets for Gielgud's Macbeth, King Lear at Stratford and Massine's Scottish ballet Donald of the Burthens, produced by the Sadler's Wells Ballet at Covent Garden in 1951. During the 1950s, both MacBryde and Colquhoun lost the attention of the art scene, and as both had become heavy drinkers, serious artistic work became almost impossible. Since neither had any private means, they were reduced at times to near destitution.

* MICHAEL SCOTT (SCOTTISH 1946 - 2006), COME SAIL YOUR SHIPS AROUND ME oil on canvas, signed 120cm x 117cm (approximately 48 x 46 inches) - excludes frame. Framed. Label verso: The Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Eton. Notes: This lot includes a hardback copy of "Michael Scott, Testament" published in 2010. The painting features as a full page image on page 81 and confirms it was completed in 2001.This painting was inspired by "The Ship Song", the 1990 indie classic love song written and first performed by Nick Cave. The title of the painting is the first line of the song. The song has been covered by numerous artists most notably the 2010/11 collaboration of over 100 musicians as a promotional film and song for the Sydney Opera House. What became known as "The Ship Song Project" took almost a year to complete and in the first 24 hours after its launch, the film clip was shared online more than 1.7 million times. It became a major media success and is credited with bringing about a 40% increase in ticket sales at the Sydney Opera House. (extensive details online and video on YouTube). Michael Scott's large work rarely appears at auction but The Bathers, a 36 x 40 inch oil on canvas sold at Christie's, London on 28th October 2004 (lot 299) for £7170 (premium) and At The Riverbank, a smaller example was sold by McTear's for £4000 (hammer) - lot 1720, 26th August 2014. Born in Aberdeenshire in 1946, Michael Scott (Mike Scott) studied Political Science at Liverpool before doing a one year's teacher training course in Huddersfield. After moving to Glasgow, Scott took a full-time research post at Glasgow University followed by a lecturing post at the re-named Glasgow Caledonian University. By 1997 demand for his work had become so great that he had to resign his post at the University to paint full time. Awards Include: The David Cargill Senior Award, Royal Glasgow Institute. Exhibitions Include: 1988~John D Kelly Gallery, Glasgow: 1994~Roger Billcliffe Fine Art, Glasgow ~Contemporary Fine Art, Eton; 1995~Portland Gallery, London; 1997~Fosse Gallery, Stowe on Trent ~Contemporary Fine Art, Eton; 1998~Portland Gallery, London; 2001~Portland Gallery, London, 2004~Portland Gallery, London; 2010~A Memorial Exhibition, Roger Billcliffe, Glasgow.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Michael Scott's death, The Roger Billcliffe Gallery staged an exhibition of his work 1st April - 30th April 2016. We believe "Come Sail Your Ships Around Me" is the finest example of Michael Scott's work to have been offered at auction.

Nazarener (Tätig 1. Hälfte 19. Jh.)Johannes der TäuferHalbfiguriges Bildnis des Johannes als Einsiedler in charakteristischem, sog. "härenem" Gewand, mit der rechten Hand einen Kreuzstab haltend und mit der linken Hand zum Himmel deutend. Diese Geste unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Taufe, die durch Johannes den Täufer verkörpert wird. In feinflüssiger, lasierender Malweise ausgeführte Darstellung, bei der die Figur durch eine virtuos akzentuierende, effektvolle Lichtführung hervorgehoben wird. Bei der Komposition und der betonten Hell-Dunkel-Malerei wurde der Künstler durch das berühmte, um 1513-1516 entstandene Gemälde von Leonardo da Vinci im Louvre inspiriert. Während der Gestus und das Chiaroscuro gleich blieb, ersetzte er die außergewöhnlich androgyne Jünglingsfigur bei Leonardo durch eine prononciert männliche Figur mit Vollbart; statt des annähernd vertikalen (höchstwahrscheinlich erst später hinzugefügten) Kreuzstabes im Renaissance-Original, wählte er überdies einen diagonal gehaltenen Stab, um dem Gemälde mehr kompositorische Spannung zu verleihen. Öl/Lwd.; 84 cm x 62,5 cm. Original-Rahmen.German painter of the Nazarene movement active first half 19th C. Oil on canvas.
