Hannaford and some by his father Charles Edward Hannaford (1863-1955), to include river views, coastal landscapes, mountain views, townscapes, ruined abbeys and castles, mostly set in Venice, Naples, Holland, London, Cornwall, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Dartmoor and Scotland, some signed; A collection of 8 framed watercolours of various sizes by C.A.

Charles Arthur Hannaford (1887-1972, exh. 1919-26) was the son of the renowned and prolific coastal and landscape painter, Charles E Hannaford (1863-1955). After his studies at Plymouth Art School, he painted mostly delightful landscapes in watercolour. Despite his artistic talents he went on to pursue a career in banking. Upon retiring, he settled in Wroxham, Norfolk, where he found 'Broads Tours Ltd'. For those visiting Norfolk with his company, he wrote and illustrated a souvenir booklet, The Charm of the Norfolk Broads, which featured many of his watercolours and drawings of local inns, mills and other places of interest. He drew great inspiration from his father's style and from the transient mood and colours of the Broads. His watercolours achieved wider acclaim in Norfolk, where they were especially popular among those who sailed and enjoyed river trips with his company. Hannaford exhibited principally at the Royal Society of British Artists, as well as the RA and Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.

§ John Minton (British, 1917-1957) Study of Francis Minton painting inscribed upper right "Francis Minton / May 30th 1940" pen and ink 30 x 24cm (12 x 9in) Provenance: Purchased from Jeffrey Bernard by Nicholas and Elisabeth Luard. From the collection of Elisabeth Luard, Brynmeheryn. Other Notes: Francis John Minton (25 December 1917 - 20 January 1957) was an English painter, illustrator, stage designer and teacher. Minton was born in Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire, the second of three sons of Francis Minton, a solicitor, and his wife, Kate, née Webb. He studied art at St John's Wood School of Art from 1935 to 1938 and was greatly influenced by his fellow student Michael Ayrton, who shared his enthusiasm with him for the work of French Neo-Romantic painters. He spent eight months studying in France, frequently accompanied by Ayrton, and returned from Paris when the Second World War began. From 1943 to 1946 Minton taught illustration at the Camberwell College of Arts, and from 1946 to 1948 he was in charge of Drawing and Illustration at the Central School of Art and Design. At the same time he continued to draw and paint, sharing a studio for some years with Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde, and later with Keith Vaughan. Between 1945 and 1956 he had seven solo exhibitions at the Lefevre Gallery, as well as working as a tutor at the Painting School of the Royal College of Art in 1949, a post that he held until the year before his death. John Minton was painted in 1952 by Lucian Freud. In the mid-1950s, John Minton found himself increasingly sidelined by the popularity of abstracts. He suffered psychological problems, self-medicated with alcohol, and tragically committed suicide in 1957. Frances Spalding writes: "This drawing is a great puzzle. Minton was great friends with Michael Ayrton at this time and the style of drawing looks to me more like Ayrton than Minton, but the cartouche with Francis Minton inside it and the date 30th May 1940 is definitely in Minton's hand. He was baptised 'Francis John Minton', so he could have been playing around with his name, which Ayrton did more seriously, giving up his father's name Gould for his mother's name Ayrton, so that his name would appear earlier in catalogues that were alphabetically ordered. But sadly I can give you no adequate explanation of this drawing. It is not a drawing of Minton, so why he added the cartouche I do not know. The present drawing is an interesting testimony to the close friendship between Ayrton and Minton at that time. The following year they collaborated on designs for John Gielgud's production of Macbeth". One tiny hole to the left of the sitter's shoulder, loose in the frame and with dirt under the glass. A little loss of colour.
§ Bryan Pearce (British, 1929-2007) Boats signed lower left "Bryan Pearce" pen and ink 26 x 39cm (10 x 15in) Provenance: Henry Gilbert, The Wills Lane Gallery, St Ives, Cornwall. Bryan Pearce was born in St Ives, Cornwall, in 1929, a sufferer of the then unknown condition Phenylketonuria, which affects the normal development of the brain. Encouraged by his mother who was herself a painter, and then by other St Ives artists, he began drawing and painting in watercolours in 1953. From 1953 to 1957 he attended St Ives School of Painting under Leonard Fuller. In 1957 Pearce began painting in oils and started to exhibit regularly at the Penwith Gallery in St Ives. He became an Associate of the Penwith Society of Arts in Cornwall, and later a full member, having been sponsored by the sculptor Denis Mitchell. He was also a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists; it was at the instigation of Peter Lanyon that he had his first solo show at the Newlyn Gallery in 1959. Good clear image but with some discolouration to the background.
Pavel Tchelitchew (Russian, 1898-1957) Veined hand signed lower right "P Tchelitchew 1942" pen and ink, unframed 44 x 30cm (17 x 12in) Provenance: Rex Evans Gallery, 748 North Lane Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, USA (label verso); Private collection, London. Other Notes: Pavel Tchelitchew was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer and costume designer. Tchelitchew was born to an aristocratic family of landowners and was educated by private tutors. Tchelitchew expressed an early interest in ballet and art. He left Russia in 1920, lived in Berlin from 1921 to 1923, and moved to Paris in 1923. In Paris Tchelitchew became acquainted with Gertrude Stein and, through her, the Sitwell and Gorer families. He and Edith Sitwell had a long-standing close friendship and they corresponded frequently. His first U.S. show was of his drawings, along with other artists, at the newly opened Museum of Modern Art in 1930. In 1934, he moved from Paris to New York City with his partner, writer Charles Henri Ford. From 1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek, painted in 1940–42, and currently owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Unframed. Wrinkling to the edges of the paper. Some spots of surface dirt and alight discolouration to the paper. There is a rectangle of darker discolouration around the signature, as there is around the drawing aswell. It's most likely that the drawing was at one time in a frame that had a close mount around the drawing, and a cut out in the mount for the signature, thus the exposed areas were subject to more sun damage.
