[§] MERLYN EVANS (WELSH 1910-1973) THE CONQUEST OF TIME Signed and dated '34 in plate, signed and inscribed with title and numbered 6/50 in pencil to margin, etching 25cm x 20cm (9.75in x 8in) (plate size) Note: Born in Cardiff but raised in Glasgow, Evans studied at Glasgow School of Art and in 1930, exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1931, he was awarded the Haldane Travelling Scholarship and visited Berlin, Copenhagen and Paris. Later that year he won a free place at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1934 Evans became art master at Wilson's Grammar School in Camberwell. From here, he made frequent trips to Paris where he met Mondrian, Kandinsky, Giacometti, Max Ernst and William Hayter. He also exhibited with the London Group and at the International Surrealist Exhibition during this period. Evans moved to South Africa to take up a teaching post in 1938 and enlisted in the Signals Corps in the South African Army in 1942. In 1946 he moved back to London where his artistic career developed. In 1949 he had his first one-man exhibition at the Leicester Galleries, where he exhibited in 1952, 1953 and 1955. In 1956 the Whitechapel Gallery held a retrospective of his work. He continued to exhibit regularly during the 1960s and in 1963 took a studio in St Ives for the summer, where he went annually thereafter. Evans took a post as the exchange artist in residence at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1967 which allowed him to visit New York. Here he met Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Robert Motherwell. On his return to London, Marlborough Fine Art held a one-man exhibition for him entitled 'Events and Abstractions'. The Welsh Arts Council commissioned a triptych of his aquatints the following year and in 1972 the Victoria and Albert Museum held an exhibition of his graphic work. This work relates to an oil painting of the same title which is held in the collection of Tate, UK. The oil is currently on loan to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and features in their current exhibition, 'A New Era: Scottish Modern Art, 1900-1950'

[§] ALAN DAVIE C.B.E., H.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1920-2014) INSIGNIA FOR THE LITTLE WHITE HORSE Signed and inscribed with title and dated 2007 verso, oil on canvas 76cm x 96cm (30in x 37.75in) Note: Alan Davie was born in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1920. His father was a schoolmaster and amateur painter and Alan studied at Edinburgh College of Art in the late 1930s. Jazz had always played an important part in his life and having served with the army in WWII, in 1947 Davie worked as a full time jazz saxophonist and at the same time started to make jewellery, write poetry and design textiles. The following year, now married, he began to travel, visiting Venice, where he was intrigued by the work of Pollock and De Kooning, in the Guggenheim collection. Inspired to start painting again, Davie painted several pictures on rolls of cheap paper in his hotel room. Two were immediately bought by Peggy Guggenheim, who also introduced him to London gallery Gimpel Fils. American abstract expressionism, married with an interest in African art and the influence of Picasso and Klee, formed the roots of Davie's work throughout the 1950s. From the mid fifties an interest in Zen Buddhism and oriental mysticism added further nuances, along with further exposure to the Americans at the time of his first show in New York in 1956. Largely ignored at this time in his homeland, Davie began to sell overseas and finally elevated from poverty, bought a house in Cornwall where he mingled with a number of St Ives artists. From the 1960s Davie maintained that his work, despite its appearance, was not abstract but consisted of emotive common symbols, which spoke directly to the viewer. His role, he insisted was that of a 'shaman', acting as a link between the viewer and the intractable. Taking his cue from the Surrealists, his method was an essentially spontaneous, almost automatic, attempt to unlock the unconscious. Davie's work contains numerous overlapping references to magic, religion and primitive art, in particularly that of the Navajo, Carib, Australian Aborigine, ancient Egyptian, Celt and Pict. This very late painting, Insignias for the Little White Horse, is typical of his mature work. Against a monochrome blue ground, itself suggestive of the spiritual, animals and objects float suspended. Among these, the white horse of the title, the bird and the snake, all resonate with ancient significance in tribal art. While it is tempting to interpret the central motif as an open mouth, as ever with Davie, the moment that one attempts to decipher his hieroglyphs, multiple other meanings become evident. In his later years Davie received many plaudits. His CBE in 1972 was followed by retrospectives in London and New York in 1993, Chicago in 1994 and Edinburgh in 2000 and a major show at Tate Britain in April 2014, the month of his death.

[§] DAVID BOMBERG (BRITISH 1890-1957) PORTRAIT OF ANNIE LOU STAVELEY Signed and dated 1938, oil on canvas 66cm x 58.5cm (26in x 23in) Note: Born in Birmingham in 1890 and brought up in Whitechapel, Bomberg was the son of Polish immigrants. Having displayed an innate early talent, he was sponsored by the Jewish Educational Aid Society to study at the Slade under Tonks, alongside the likes of Gertler and Stanley Spencer. In 1913 however, he was expelled from the Slade with the consensus of his teachers being that his style was too radical. Nevertheless, persisting in this vein, in the period immediately preceding the First World War, he painted a number of notable geometric semi-abstract paintings, becoming associated with Percy Wyndham Lewis's Vorticist movement. Included in the 'Cubist Room' at the Camden Town group show in Brighton in 1913, the following year, Bomberg helped to organize the Whitechapel's 20th Century Art show. A founding member of the London Group he was invited to show at the 1915 Vorticist exhibition. His best known work of this period, The Mud Bath, is now in the Tate. During the war Bomberg served on the Western Front and the experience had a long-standing effect upon his art. In 1919, with the slaughter he had witnessed in the first conflict of the 'machine age' compounded by his disappointment at the rejection of a design for a Canadian War Memorial, he disappeared from public life. Instead he travelled extensively, notably to Palestine from 1923-27 and also to Russia, Greece, Spain and Morocco. From 1929 Bomberg abandoned semi-abstraction and turned to an expressive figuration, using a muted palette and fluid brush strokes, to create deeply personal portraits and landscapes. The present work is an outstanding example of his work of the 1930s, during which period he perfected this new-found freedom. From 1945 to 1953, he taught at Borough Polytechnic in London and had an important influence on an emerging generation of young artists, including Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff. With them and other students he formed the Borough Group, active from 1947 to 1949. Bomberg died in 1957 and remained for some years best known for his work of the Vorticist period. However, in 1988 he was rediscovered in a retrospective at the Tate and in the last few decades, he has come to be seen in his rightful position of an important pioneer of British post-war Expressionism.
