Alan Reynolds (British, 1926-2014) Two Trees in Blossom, 1952 signed and dated (lower right) oils on board 54.3cm x 60cm. Provenance: Sotheby's London, 6 April 1960, lot 128. 'his genuine loving attachment to nature, both to landscape as a whole and to its particular shapes and their arrangements, to blossoms and fruit, to grasses and weeds, to leaves and buds, to branches and twigs, and to the varied tree forms which, with their special features, define and characterize a landscape in its various moods…his preoccupation was not with the grand or with the picturesque…rather a penetration into the spirit of nature.' (the contemporary art critic J. P. Hodin on Alan Reynolds in this period) Painted in 1952, the year of Reynold's first one-man show at the Redfern Gallery, Two Trees in Blossom demonstrates Reynold's focus on figurative landscapes and the natural world and the influence of Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland. However, the inspiration of Paul Klee should be particularly acknowledged whose work became influential in the European post-war art world. Reynold's copied Klee's Nocturnal Festival (1921) on numerous occasions and its influence can be felt in Two Trees in Blossom, both compositionally and in terms of subject matter.

- Believed to be one of just eleven with this Curvilinear body style - Copies of registration books back to 1937 - Current owner since September 1974 H&H are delighted to be able to offer this beautifully bodied Derby Bentley by the desirable coachbuilder Gurney Nutting, which we believe to be one of only eleven such cars to wear this "Curvilinear" body style. We are fortunate to have copies of registration books in the history file covering the years 1937 to 1973 which detail the majority of the ownership history of chassis B-25-HM. The Bentley's guarantee is believed to have been issued to a Mr Neil Cleaver on February 17th 1937 and the registration books show that it was first registered for road use in England on February 18th 1937, with the registration number 'DXA 624'. The books also show that the Bentley still enjoys being powered by its original engine, number J8BA. In May 1937 a Gordon Graham Wood of Weybridge in Surrey is reported to have owned the car, and in July 1937 custodianship passed to Drevor Frederick Acton Neilson of Queen Anne Street in London's Marylebone, W1. It is thought that Mr Neilson was a distinguished Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist, hence his proximity to London's famously medical Harley Street, in Marylebone. In what is believed to have been December 1939, possession transferred to someone in Harley Street, London, W1, who seven years later reallocated ownership to a company in George Street, Marylebone. September 1951 saw tenure pass to a Warwick Waghorn Sayers of Woodland Drive in Hove, East Sussex, who retained the Bentley for the next twenty-two years. Interestingly, the day before Mr Waghorn is recorded as becoming the registered keeper of the car, the stated body colour in the registration book was changed from black to blue. A couple of months later in December, he changed the registration number from 'DXA 624' to 'GAP 959', the plate it still wears today. In October 1973 ownership passed to a Richard Howard Shaw of Priory Terrace in West Hampstead, London NW6, but in September 1974 Mr Shaw exchanged the car with our vendor for a Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato. The car has lead a sheltered and leisurely existence during our vendor's forty-one years of ownership. The car was exercised on an occasional basis during the 1980's, but for the majority of the 1990's it remained in the vendor's car showroom. In 2003 the vendor decided to recommission the car and invoices on file total nearly £12,000 for the works. However, the car's driving was to remain limited, but it should be noted that throughout the last 41 years, the car has been kept in near perfect storage conditions in a well ventilated car showroom. This Bentley is not only special for its beautiful body, but for the very original condition of both its body and interior. This car has remained pretty much untouched since its last repaint, which is believed to have been done in 1951. Those scratches in the paintwork and splits in the leather seats all have a story to tell and ooze character, and if ever it is fully restored, the car will never be as rare and special as it will loose its originality. In recent years the demand for perfect restorations has reduced as people realise that a car is only original once, and once restored, it has lost some charm and character that it will never have again. Many of the finest concours events around the world now have Preservation Class sections, where unrestored or very original cars compete for awards. The importance of this car's current condition has been reflected in recent years by its display at several of the world's finest concours events in Preservation Class sections, such as The Louis Vuitton Classic at Saint-Cloud in Paris, The Hurlingham Club in London, and more recently the Chantilly Arts and Elegance Concours in September 2015. Recent work in preparation for the Chantilly Concours included a full service (spark plugs, points, etc) and the fitting of a new fuel pump. The vendor describes the car as being 'very original' and in 'generally good order' with 'obvious signs of age', adding that the doors open and close easily and the engine 'runs well'. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire an incredibly beautiful and original motor car from extremely long term ownership.
- 1 of just 943 RHD examples made and supplied new to Australia - Restored to concours standard in Sydney during 2007 - Matching numbers car, original colours and recently repatriated Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front / coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. Responding to popular demand, the Coventry marque had footwell recesses pressed into the model's previously 'flat-floor' platform so that it could accommodate taller drivers / passengers; a change that occurred on right-hand drive Roadsters from chassis 850358 onwards. We are very grateful to the vendor for supplying the following description: 'Dispatched from the factory on 21st February 1962, chassis number 850375 was the ninth earliest Right Hand Drive roadster to be delivered to Australia. It was freighted to the Australian Distributor, Bryson Industries in the State of Victoria, and from their custody it was sold new, first registered on 10th April 1962. With all matching numbers, the vehicle was restored in Sydney during 2007 to Concours standards and still presents in excellent condition and drives superbly. The vendor adds the following important points; fully matching numbers car, early aluminium dashboard, 4 speed Moss gearbox, original Carmen Red with Biscuit leather trim, extensive history file, Jaguar Heritage certificate'.
