Alexandre Nikolayevich Benois (1870-1960), Costume design for Nutcracker: 'Danse Orientale, Le Cafe I' with annotations, 1952, Black ink and watercolour over pencil, Signed 'Alexandre Benois' and dated '1952', 23cm x 15cm, (ARR) Provenance Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd, London Footnote For similar design see Victoria & Albert Museum 'Design for the Nutcracker, in Nutcracker' by Alexandre Benois dated 1957. This drawing was made for the production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker first performed on 24 December by the Festival Ballet at the Royal Festival Hall, London. Alexandre Nikolayevich Benois was a significant figure in the Russian artistic scene of the early 20th century, working alongside Sergei Diaghilev and Leon Bakst to produce the magazine Mir iskusstva and its corresponding artistic movement, which sought to promote Art Nouveau within Russia. Yet it was as a designer for the Ballet Russes, under Diaghilev, for which Benois is probably best known. The present pieces, as costume designs, are therefore particularly compelling, serving as examples of Benois's most recognisable work.This work is in wooden gilded frame with a cream mount, there is some paint loss and scuff marks to the frame. The piece has not been examined out of the frame, it may or may not be stuck down. It is evident the page is creased in areas and there are marks to the surface. The page is slightly yellowed, which is what one would expect with a piece of this age. Overall this piece is in good condition.

JOAN PONÇ BONET (Barcelona, 1927 - Saint-Paul, France, 1984)."Untitled", 1976.Drawing for Luis Goytisolo's book "Eyes, circles, owls".Ink and felt-tip pen on paper.Signed and dated on the back.Frame with faults.Measurements: 20.5 x 13 cm; 49.5 x 39 cm (frame).Painter and draughtsman, he trained in Barcelona, in the workshop of Ramón Rogent and at the Academy of Plastic Arts with Ángel López-Obrero. After devoting himself to painting and drawing in anonymity, he held his first individual exhibition in 1946, at the Galería Arte in Bilbao, which was to be his definitive establishment on the national art scene. In 1948, together with Tharrats, Puig, Cuixart, Tàpies and Brossa, among others, he founded the avant-garde group Dau al Set. Selected by Eugenio D'Ors, he took part in the Salón de los Once in Madrid in 1951 and 1952. In 1952 he took part in the Hispano-American Biennial, and the following year he spent some time in Paris, where he met Joan Miró and managed to exhibit at the Musée de la Villa. On the latter's recommendation, Ponç gained access to Brazilian artistic circles, settling in São Paulo from 1953 to 1962. In 1954, the year of the dissolution of Dau al Set, he held an exhibition at the city's Museum of Modern Art, which was so successful that the organisation acquired all his works. In Brazil he visited the equatorial jungles, where he was impressed by their fauna, especially insects, which he incorporated into his imagery. In 1955 he founded the Taüll group with Marc Aleu, Modest Cuixart, Jaume Guinovart, Jaume Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats. After returning to Catalonia due to illness, as a fully established artist he shows his work in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Bonn, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Antibes and various Spanish cities. In 1965 he won the International Grand Prize for Drawing at the São Paulo Biennial. Ponç's paintings present phantasmagoric images that are both painful and tortured, in which the subconscious is the protagonist. For the painter, art is nothing more than an introduction to the mystery and secrets of the spirit. More of a draughtsman than a painter, his work is extremely detailed and meticulous. Ponç's production can be divided into six periods: the Dau al Set period (1947), the Brazilian period (1958), the metaphysical-geometric period (1969), the period of the metaphysical characters (1970), the acupainting period (1971) and a final period of synthesis (1972). He is currently represented at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de São Paulo, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo in Vitoria, the Museo de L'Empordà and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989)."Dancer. 1973.Ink drawing on inside page of the signature book of the hall of La Paloma, Barcelona.Authenticity certified by the Dalí Foundation in Figueres.Signed and dated at the bottom.Measurements: 28 x 20 cm.Original drawing by Salvador Dalí, dated 1973, of the legendary La Paloma nightclub, located in the Raval district of Barcelona. Dalí spent long hours sitting in one of the boxes, taking notes of the dancers. This unique testimony remains, one of his drawings sketched directly in one of the hall's signature books, together with period photographs of the Modernista-inspired interior.Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly one of the most important artistic personalities of the 20th century. During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who travelled regularly to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí travelled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established certain formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. His language absorbed the influences of many artistic styles, from classical academicism to the most groundbreaking avant-garde. At that time, the painter grew an eye-catching moustache that imitated Velázquez's and would become his personal hallmark for the rest of his life. In 1929, Dalí collaborated with Luis Buñuel in the making of "An Andalusian Dog", which showed scenes typical of the surrealist imaginary. In August of the same year he met his muse and future wife Gala. During this period Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the Surrealist group based in the Montparnasse district of Paris. His work greatly influenced the direction of Surrealism for the next two years, and he was acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, which was said to help access the subconscious by releasing creative artistic energies. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to the art dealer Julian Levy. Following his first solo exhibition in New York his international reputation was definitively consolidated, and from then on he showed his work and gave lectures all over the world. Most of his production is housed in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) and the Dalí Universe in London.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989)."Two Sailors", ca.1925.Pencil, graphite and blue pencil on paper.Attached certificate issued by Archives Descharnes (20/06/2022).Attached notary's note from Salvador Dalí Cusí, the artist's father.Signed in ink in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 22.1 x 15.9 cm.Drawing from Salvador Dalí's youth, probably done during his student period in the mid-1920s. The theme of sailors interested the avant-garde artists, as allegories of wandering souls, of bohemia, wandering from port to port, bearers of fleeting loves. Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly one of the most important artistic personalities of the 20th century. In his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who travelled regularly to Paris.

Chinese school, after models by WU GUANZHONG; 20th century."Portico view".Ink on handmade paper.Signature and apocryphal comments.Measurements: 40,5 x 30,5 cm.Ink drawing in which an architectural view is represented, which seems to show the door of a city of the East, which is deduced by the tops of the domes of bulbous appearance. In Eastern culture, painting is closely linked to calligraphy, and materials such as brush and ink are fused in both disciplines. The material thus becomes a highly valued artistic motif, both for its form and for the content it is capable of conveying.Aesthetically, the work is close to the precepts of the multidisciplinary artist Wu Guanzhong, who worked in painting, ink and watercolour drawing, engraving, calotype and even made some enamelled porcelain pieces. Possibly the most renowned contemporary Chinese artist, Wu focused his work on the Chinese landscape, both natural and urban, depicting its architecture, plants and animals, characters and natural landscapes, in a style inspired by Post-Impressionism and drawing on traditional Chinese ink painting. He was also a prominent writer and critic of contemporary Chinese art. Born in Yixing (Jiangsu), he studied engineering at the Zhejiang Industrial School, and in 1936 moved to the Hangzhou National Academy of Arts in the same city to study both Chinese and Western painting under masters Pan Tianshou and Lin Fengmian. He graduated in 1942, and five years later he moved to Paris thanks to a scholarship from the Chinese government, which enabled him to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in the city. On his return to China he took up a teaching post at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing, and later at Tsinghua University and the Normal School of Fine Arts in the same city, where he taught Western art. His exhibitions at the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan in New York and the Hong Kong Museum of Art are particularly noteworthy. Wu Guanzhong is currently mainly represented at the Singapore Art Museum, to which the artist himself made a major donation of work, although he is also present in other leading museums around the world.
