Yiannis Spyropoulos (Greek, 1912-1990)Synthesis N signed in Greek (lower right)oil in canvas60.5 x 80.5 cm.Painted in 1959.Footnotes:ProvenanceBonhams, The Greek Sale, 10 Nov 2008, lot 55.Acquired from the above by the present owner.LiteratureY. Papaioannou, Yannis Spyropoulos - Monograph, Yannis and Zoe Spyropoulos Foundation, Athens 2010, no. 491b, p. 370 (listed), p. 222 (referred), p. 219 (illustrated).A powerful mixture of simplicity and sophistication and a wise conciliation between gestural brushwork and sturdy compositional structure, this captivating work offers a commanding display of technical discipline and intuitive expression. Planes, surfaces and textures are meticulously analysed by dark structural outlines, while intense counterbalancing forces and energetic shapes are articulated into a serene and robust geometrical structure set in motion by circular gestural marks that endow the composition with an improvised yet coherent inner rhythm.1 'The Greek scenery with its architecture of masonry fences, arches, courtyards and dry stone walls, observed from afar as outlined geometrical shapes, constituted the onset of visual stimulation before becoming a painterly proposal.'2 This beautiful canvas also reflects Spyropoulos' deep interest in Byzantine art. Professor C. Christou notes: 'The golden-yellow colour that comes to dominate the work of Spyropoulos by 1960 and which in essence reflects nothing more than the presence of sunlight, or rather Greek light, is something he finds around and within himself, in the past from which he hails and the present where he belongs. It reveals the influence of the Byzantine icon painting he grew up with and his familiarity with the Greek light under which he lives, while at the same time his work expresses the intricate nature of modern artistic creation.'3 Yiannis Spyropoulos was the first Greek painter who, while residing permanently in Greece, managed to attain an illustrious international career, highlighted by his participation in the 1960 Venice Biennale, where he was awarded the UNESCO prize. His works, which represent the most advanced and mature aspect of Greek abstraction, have been included in prestigious private collections around the globe -particularly in America where this painting comes from- and exhibited at the most important European and American museums of modern art.41 See E.

General Election of 1747. Merlin, Or, the British Enchanter, printed for John King at The Globe in the Paltry, and John Tinney at The Golden Lion in Fleet-Street; and sold at the Print and [Pamphlet Shops], circa 1747, engraved and printed broadside on laid paper, satirising the General Election of 1747, torn with a little loss to upper and lower right corners, affecting one or two printed words or letters, some minor fraying with very slight loss to top margin, partially affecting one or two letters, light soiling at head and foot, 48.5 x 21.5 cm (15.2 x 8.5 ins) (Qty: 1)NOTESESTC online (London). Not in Foxon. Rare. A satire on the General Election in Great Britain held in late June and July of 1747, which resulted in a healthy majority of 144 for the Whig government. The Tory opposition was reduced to its lower number ever, largely due to the impact of the Jacobite Rebellion. The engraving depicts the Prime Minister's government as "his honour's pack ass", laden with revenue from Customs & Excise, and land tax, from which the tree of Government corruption and influence has grown. The title refers to Queen Caroline's famous pavilion at Richmond Gardens, known as Merlin's Cave, which was designed as a political allegory of the times, and became a subject of ridicule in the press subsequently.

The nuclear-powered Guided Missile Cruiser U.S.S. California ranks among the most modern ships in the U.S. Navy. Designated CGN 36, she was launched on 22 September 1971 and commissioned on 16 February 1974 with Captain Floyd H. Miller, Jr. in command. After completing her shakedown cruise during 1975, the U.S.S. California was assigned to the Sixth Fleet. She departed for the Fleet in the Mediterranean on 7 July 1976, and sailed between the Mediterranean and Norfolk Shipyard several times during the next five years. On 14 April 1981, the U.S.S. California left Norfolk for the Mediterranean, and, in company with the U.S.S. America, she transited the Suez Canal to the Indian Ocean. Later on this same voyage, she became the first nuclear-powered U.S. vessel to circumnavigate the globe since the U.S.S. Enterprise had done so seventeen years earlier. During this voyage, on 15 July 1981, while in the Arabian Sea, she was called to rescue thirty-nine crewmen from the Greek freighter Irines Sincerity. Returning to Norfolk 20 November 1981, she was scheduled for a major overhaul and refitting. She was later re-assigned from Norfolk to Alameda, California and the Pacific Fleet. After 1984, the U.S.S. California has participated in numerous maneuvers throughout the Pacific including calls on ports in the Philippines, Australia and British Columbia, while operating out of Alameda.
