TURNER J. M. W.: (1775-1851) English Painter. An extremely rare, early ink signature, William Turner, on a slim 8vo page removed from the Attendance Book of the Plaister Academy at the Royal Academy, London, n.d. (30th October 1790?). The fifteen year old Turner's bold signature appears toward the centre of the page, and above and below his signature appear those of thirteen other fellow students, with a further eighteen signatures to the verso. Included are the signatures of artists Henry Thomas, Thomas Hargreaves (2), Charles Brome, Thomas Kearsley, and Robert Clamp. Some minor age wear, with slight creasing and very slight traces of former mounting to the right edge of the recto, otherwise VG Joseph Mallord William Turner, known within his family as William, entered the Royal Academy Schools as a promising student at the age of 14. The young Turner first worked in the Plaister Academy, drawing from casts of antique sculpture. In the biography Turner In His Time (1987) Andrew Wilton notes that Turner's 'name appears fairly frequently in the registers between 21st July 1790 (the earliest record extant) and 8th October 1793. Provenance: Some of the Attendance Books now in the Library of the Royal Academy were once the property of the renowned British collector Charles Fairfax Murray (1849-1919) and bear his Ex-Libris to the inside boards. Upon the dispersal of his large collections, the Registers, with a number of pages removed, were apparently re-acquired by the Royal Academy. The present, previously missing page, were re-discovered in Australia, tipped into an old Victorian album.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013), SELF PORTRAIT, HOGMANAY, 1968 oil on board, signed, further signed, titled and dated 1968 verso 92cm x 122cm (approx 36 x 48 inches) Framed Provenance: Exhibited Germany, Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche, Aschaffenburg, John Bellany - a Scottish Odyssey, Sept. 2006. Previously offered by Bonhams (Edinburgh) 19th April 2012, lot 121 with estimate of £50,000 - 70,000. (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19863/lot/121/) Note: "Self Portrait, Hogmany, 1968" was painted shortly after Bellany's traumatic but inspirational visit to Buchenwald. Note: It is well documented that Bellany used hardboard until 1969. ''In 1969 Bellany painted his second triptych Homage to John Knox. It brought together the principal themes in his work at the time and was heavily influenced by Max Beckmann's painting Departure. This was the last time Bellany painted on hardboard. He now began painting on canvas, which he found frustrating for the first six months until he got used to the 'tooth' of the surface. The change altered his technique. His use of glazes and meticulous handling were replaced by a more modern and overtly expressionist style'', These early Bellany oil on boards are relatively rare and invarably command a premium at auction. "Self portrait - Hogmanay was painted towards the end of Bellany's time at the Royal College of Art. Several new and important motifs can be seen in the painting, the parrot, the skeleton and the element of self portraiture. Bellany always had plastic parrots dotted around his studio. The exaggerated beak is a theme repeated by Bellany with seagulls and puffins in later works. Around the time of the painting Bellany went to Germany with friends, the artist Alexander Moffat and poet Alan Bold, where they visited artists on the east side of the Berlin Wall, an experience that was to prove a useful lesson in social realism for all three. While they were there they went on a tour of Buchenwald concentration camp. John Bellany's work is included in many of the world's great collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Britain, London.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013),TSUNAMIoil on canvas, signed150cm x 119cm (approx 60 x 47 inches)Framed.Note: Of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami Bellany said: "It had a devastating effect on me as it did on everybody. But I was seeing these horrible images so often on TV that eventually nothing was going in. "The first two or three times, I was in a terrible state, but after a while I was numbed by them. "They seemed to lose their power, which is terrible. The only thing I could do was to paint." For Bellany, the son of a fisherman who was born and brought up in the seaside village of Port Seton, East Lothian, the images of devastation in the coastal areas had a special resonance. In search of peace and quiet, the artist retreated to his house in Tuscany, Italy, where he spent an intense fortnight painting a number of large canvases. Bellany, brought up in a strict Calvinist family, and whose work remained deeply influenced by religion, said: "The pictures from the TV got into my system, into my soul, and it was like these paintings brewed in me, and then I put them out." He added: "I painted the pieces very quickly. The intensity carried me through." Bellany was reluctant to provide an exact commentary on the paintings, preferring that the images be allowed to speak directly for themselves. But the impact and the destruction that the tsunami caused is clear. Survivors stare out of the canvas, while a father holds a tiny baby in his arms, the body limp as though asleep. In the background, fishing boats lie on their sides, thrown by the force of the wave inland on to the beach, while the human cost is seen in bodies wrapped in cloth and tied tight with a clothes line. In the distance, a blue streak of sea acts as a constant reminder of nature's destructive power. The artist said: "Although the tsunami was utterly horrific, one of the greatest tragedies the world has ever known, there was a poetry in what happened. The way those people dealt with it, the dignity of those who survived it, the grace with which they held their children, I was tremendously impressed by all of that.Bellany's work is included in some of the world's great collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Britain, London.
