He qualified with a teaching degree in 1892, but enrolled for painting lessons, before moving to Amsterdam and registering at the Rijksacademie. Mondrian became a member of the art society Kunstliefde "Art Lovers" in Utrecht, where his first paintings were exhibited in 1893. He experimented with many different styles including naturalistic, impressionist and painting many landscapes of his native country. In 1911 he moved to Paris and the influence of Cubism, as evidenced by Picasso and Braque, started to appear almost immediately in his work. He spent the duration of the First World War back in Holland and continued his journey towards abstraction. After the War had finished Mondrian returned to France. He then moved to London in 1938 but relocated to New York just two years later in 1940, where he remained until his death. Mondrian is well known for his contribution to the development of modern abstract art. He strove to portray an extreme formal purity through his combination of simplistic straight lines and bold primary colours. The Image: Mondrian spent the period 1914-1918 (World War I) back at his home in Holland and during this time, he decided to work on an abstract art form which was later classified as Neoplastic style. This work was depicted by lighter colours, simplified colour selection and forms that were balanced in their composition. This work is a result of Mondrian joining the abstraction-creation line which was open to new styles, new techniques and at this time Mondrian began to be fascinated with the idea of the line and dismantling the very definition of painting. He argued that drawing and draughtsmanship which were exemplified in the line, had always lain at the heart of painting from the Renaissance artists to the Impressionists to the Modernists and no one had ever thought to challenge that..

Saliba Douaihy (Lebanon, 1915-1994)Green between Crimson, Yellow and Blue oil on canvas, framedsigned 'Douaihy' on the verso, executed in 197543 x 53.5cm (16 15/16 x 21 1/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the collection of the Al Noor Library for Middle Eastern Art, UAE Formerly property from the collection of Jacques Guerin, ParisAcquired directly from the artist by the above, circa 197Pierre Bergé & Associés S.A.S, Art Contemporain - Vente du Jour, Paris, 12 Jun 2019Exhibited:Meem Gallery, Modern Masters, Dubai, 2020'Colour is a plastic means of creating intervals... what counts is its use, not its manufacture.' - Barnett NewmanBonhams are proud to be offering an exceptional, abstract composition from one of Lebanon's leading 20th Century artists Saliba Douaihy. Matched by an impeccable provenance, having been in the collection of Jacques Guerin, it is now part of the collection of the Al Noor Library for Middle Eastern Art in the UAE and is being de-accessioned to fund a planned expansion of the library's holdings. Born in northern Lebanon within the small town of Ehden, Douaihy was seen as having a talent for the arts from an early age, which led to him being heavily encouraged to develop his craft. Douaihy's work transformed throughout his life, from early works following classical landscape paintings depicting Lebanese villages, to later works such as ' Green between Crimson, Yellow and Blue' following ideas and themes from American Abstract expressionism and Formalism. His body of work involves radical changes and refined artistic instinct. The present work dates from the culmination of his period, when he was selected by the North Carolina museum to stage a major retrospective.' Green between Crimson, Yellow and Blue' from the artists Hard Edge period is an exquisite and archetypal work. Despite its apparently minimalist palette, over six colours can be found in this carefully configured composition. Each colour is applied to the canvas in precise lines as geometric shapes. The canvas is dominated by a monolithic swathe of verdant green engulfing the work. It leads the viewers eye to the outer edges of the work. Two slithers of crimson and yellow shape act as barriers to the far side of the plane dominated by white and grey. A lighter marine blue segment cuts an angular silhouette across the far left of the composition, evoking the contours of a natural landscape albeit one simplified to the point of total abstraction. Jacques Guérin (23 June 1902 - 6 August 2000) was a French industrialist. For many years he successfully headed up the D'Orsay Parfumerie business after inheriting it in 1936 from his remarkable mother, Jeanne Louise Guérin. Beyond the world of commerce Jacques Guérin was better known by many as a passionate and prolific art collector. Douaihy was awarded a grant from the Lebanese government to study abroad. He studied in New York and was introduced to the energetic and modern art scene. This was an integral part to his future themes and his 'Hard edge' series of abstract, minimalist paintings. Rothko and Hans Hoffman were important acquaintances as they were masters of colour theory, knowing how to extract depth from colour with very simplistic compositions.Douaihy became attuned to the ideas of formalism from his readings on Immanuel Kant. This inspired many parts of this work. These influences led to this dedication of hard-edged shapes depicted as flat surfaces. Douaihy's stance encapsulates the ideas and values that influenced all later pieces by him. The painting demonstrates his mastery of the minimalist aesthetic as well as the two fundamental aspects in formalist painting: colour and shape.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901. Gold half-sovereign, 1887. London. Imperfect J DISH L508. The issues the mint encountered with the Jubilee coins are well documented and were exacerbated by the pressure for the coins to be ready for the Queen's Golden Jubilee on 20 June 1887. Records show that 1,771,425 half-sovereigns were struck in 1887, but only 871,770, less than 50% of the total, were fit for circulation. To improve metal flow silver was included in the alloy, which makes all 1887 London Jubilee head half-sovereigns stand out for their lighter colour. Although this variety is the most common of the 1887 Jubilee head half sovereigns, it is highly sought after due to the fascinating story surrounding the series, recently told by David Iverson and Steve Hill In their publication 'The Jubilee Head Gold Half Sovereign 1887-1893' (Sovereign Rarities, 2019).Crowned and veiled Jubilee bust facing left; JEB on truncation, imperfect J; inscription: VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRIT: REGINA F: D:. / High, crowned and embellished shield-of-arms; date in exergue; BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF:.In secure plastic holder, graded PCGS MS63 , certification number 47860808.
