Jewad Selim (Iraq, 1919-1961)Standing Woman glazed ceramic signed and dated 1949 on the baseHeight: 21 cmFootnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collection, EnglandFormerly property from the collection of the renowned Iraqi architect Said Ali Madhloom (1921-2017)Acquired directly from the artist by the above'People have said for ages that a woman's hips are shaped like a vase. It is no longer poetic; it becomes a cliché. I take a vase and with it make a woman... I move from metaphor back to reality' – Pablo Picasso'My heaviest burden is to decide how to divide my energy between painting and sculpture. I think that someday I must give up one of them because my creative ability is split between the two. I am thinking of giving up painting for good.''- Jewad SelimThere was a huge emergence of studio pottery in Britain in the first half of the 20th century which left a profound impression on Jewad's practice. Studio potters such as Bernard Leach aimed to raise the profile and reputation of pottery to a level where it would be regarded as equal to painting and sculpture. This 1949 ceramic sculpture combines elements of Jewad's different practices, fusing both painting and sculpture. For Jewad there was something singular about the opportunities that working with clay provided for his creative process. Appreciating the plastic and technical possibilities of three-dimensional forms, he approached ceramics in a more playful and whimsical manner. Ceramics were both aesthetically pleasing but also functional, you could quickly and inexpensively create and experiment with this art form. There is a deliberate reference to ceramic traditions from all over the world, seen most strikingly in this depiction of a woman. This work exemplifies the dialogue between ancient and modern that characteristics Jewad's oeuvre.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

§ John Maltby (British, 1936-2020), King,a stoneware model of a crowned head mounted on a stepped stoneware base, impressed seal mark to underside 36cm highFootnote: Whilst he did not necessarily aspire to great prestige, there can be no doubt that by the time of his death in December 2020, John Maltby had firmly established an international reputation as one of the most significant and most collected British ceramicists of his generation, if not of the 21st Century. Born in the Lincolnshire seaside town of Cleethorpes in 1936, Maltby trained for his degree at Leicester College of Art where he specialised in sculpture before spending a further year of study at Goldsmiths College, London. In 1962, having only recently read Bernard Leach’s ‘A Potter’s Book’, Maltby and his new wife, Heather, ventured on a trip to St Ives, Cornwall, to meet the renowned potter. Though impulsive, this meeting proved to be a seismic event in Maltby’s life and prompted him to pursue a career in ceramics under the tutelage of Bernard Leach’s son, David. After working as Leach’s apprentice for two years, during which time he honed his throwing skills and became accomplished in Anglo-Oriental techniques, in 1964 Maltby founded Stoneshill Pottery in Devon, where he continued to work until his death. Early wares produced by Maltby were mostly domestic in function and were heavily influenced by the Anglo-Oriental forms and glazes favoured by Leach. However, quickly realising that he had little interest in Eastern ceramic traditions, Maltby looked elsewhere for inspiration and discovered that the ‘naïve’ styles favoured by the previous generations of St Ives artists, such as Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood and Ben Nicholson, offered fertile ground. Seeking to create a new brand of English studio pottery and to distil ‘Englishness’ into each and every one of the stoneware figures he created, Maltby drew inspiration from ancient English folklore and often featured an ensemble cast of kings, queens, angels, and knights. Meeting at the junction between art and anthropology, Maltby’s figures are at once rooted in the ancient and the English but are also in dialogue with the modern world and, borrowing decorative motifs from Oceanic and African sculpture, with broader world art cultures.
