§ John Bellany C.B.E, R.A (British 1942-2013) & Peter Howson O.B.E. (British 1958- ) Portrait / Kneeling Man (For RCA Secret) ink on postcard; pen and ink on postcard Dimensions:each 15cm x 10cm (6in x 4in) Provenance:Provenance Donated by the Artists to RCA Secret, Royal College of Art, London, where acquired by the current owner. Note: The Royal College of Art’s fundraising exhibition RCA Secret was established in 1994 and was London’s original postcard exhibition.All proceeds from the annual event go to the RCA Fund, which in turn enables the College to offer bursaries to those students who would otherwise not be able to attend its storied classrooms, allowing talented individuals, regardless of their background or financial circumstances, to access a unique educational experience at a formative time in their lives.Past contributors to the exhibition include renowned alumni and friends of the College such as Christopher Bailey, David Bowie, Sir James Dyson, Tracey Emin, Norman Foster, Thomas Heatherwick, Anish Kapoor, Mike Leigh, Stella McCartney, Steve McQueen, Yoko Ono, Zandra Rhodes and Sir Paul Smith. Current students and recent alumni are also invited to contribute – adding to the fascinating mix of styles and responses.However, when the works go on display, all are anonymous – leaving it up to the viewer to decide if the work they like is by an art-world luminary or a rising star. Some are quite obvious (a few artists miss the memo and sign their works on the front); the majority are not. Part of this is due to there being no limitation on medium: from photography and collage, to drawing, painting and even sculpture and embroidery, the only requirement is that all artworks should be postcard-sized.To buy the works, members of the public register to gain a buyer’s ID – after which, it’s first come, first served (capped at four works per buyer until the very last days of the show). This wonderful collection [lots 292-300] was put together by possibly the most dedicated follower of RCA Secret, who was first in line every year between 2002 and 2018 and as such it represents the best of what the exhibition is about. There are works by major names such as Grayson Perry, Yinka Shonibare, Mimmo Paladino, Maggi Hambling, David Bailey and Richard Wentworth, mixed in with jewels by artists less well known, all with something in common, that particular collaborative and open-hearted spirit of the exhibition.

Lot 165
Peter Howson OBE (British, born 1958)Totem signed 'HOWSON' (lower left), titled and signed 'HOWSON' (on stretcher)oil on canvas153 x 123cm (60 1/4 x 48 7/16in).painted in 1992Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Flowers Gallery, London.Private collection, UK (acquired from the above in 1992).ExhibitedGlasgow, McLellan Galleries, Peter Howson: A Retrospective, July - September 1993.The present lot is an important example of Peter Howson's work from this period in the early 90s. Painted a year before he took up the role of official war artist for the Bosnian War in 1993, the subject highlights his recurring theme of working class men. The men, wearing what look to be military khakis and armed with a baton, appear menacing and poised for a conflict despite the contrast of the white flag being held in the upper right of the composition. The title of the work, Totem, perhaps simultaneously acknowledges the upright composition of the group, but also the symbolism, incorrect or otherwise, assumed by the public perception of working class men. Executed on a large scale, he has applied the paint with impressively bold and direct brushwork - this handling helps to charge the work with a sense of vigorous movement and energy. Howson's tutor at the Glasgow School of Art, Sandy Moffat, described the qualities of his student's work best:'Peter Howson also identifies with the 'radical imagination', although his work has little to do with ideological concepts. He is pre-occupied with themes and motifs which reflect his perception of urban life, the kinds of people who live, work and play in the City... his touch remains powerful and dramatic; as in his low-life scenes of prostitutes, thieves and dance hall fights...''It is exactly his ability to capture the menacing tone, to penetrate the darker heart of urban humanity, which raises Howson's painting from the ordinary passionless naturalism of academic realists to an entirely different level of creative achievement.'(S. Moffat, New Image Glasgow, exhibition catalogue, Third Eye Centre, Glasgow, 1985)Presently, in 2023, Howson is the subject of a major retrospective at the Edinburgh City Art Centre titled When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65. Howson's work can be found in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Tate Gallery, London; the British Museum, London; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
