SAN MARTIN JOSE DE: (1778-1850) Argentine General, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Chile 1817-19 and President of Peru 1821-22. An interesting and early letter signed by San Martin, who refers to the United Provinces of South-America. L.S., `Jose de San Martin´, four pages, folio, at the Santiago General Headquarters, Chile, 6th June 1817, to the Secretary of State of the Finances Department, in Spanish. San Martin states `La imprenta que trajo el ejército de los Andes, de cuya propiedad me consulta usted en su nota de antes de ayer, pertenece al Estado de las provincias Unidas de Sud-América; pero como por ahora no la necesita está francamente cedido su servicio al de este Pais, y podrá entre tanto disponer de ella´ (“The printing press that the army brought from the Andes, whose ownership you asked me about in your note the day before yesterday, belongs to the State of the United Provinces of South America; but as for now he does not need it, his service is openly ceded to that of this country, and therefore there is a free disposal of it in the meantime”) To the front page, upper left corner, a registration and approval annotation by the Finance Ministry. The letter bears beneath San Martin´s lines, two responses by officers, the first of a page and half is by Mr. Argomedo, stating `The State´s Attorney under State secrets in the Treasury Ministry, in charge of the file of proposals by several interested parties on the printer´s better performance, says that according to the report done by His Excellency Chief General, we cannot talk at this stage about its sale….´ To the third page the second officer´s text confirming the previous proposal by Argomedo, and to the last three lines in the hand of officer Romero. With extremely small clips to the left edge, otherwise VG The present document was signed by San Martin only four months after having defeated the Royalists and taking over the capital Santiago de Chile. San Martin then refused the governorship of Chile in favour of Bernardo O´Higgins, because he said did not wish to be diverted from his main objective which was the capture of Lima. He would spend the next 14 months clearing the country of Royalists soldiers and rout the remaining troops until the Battle of Maipu in April 1818. San Martin´s incredible campaign across the formidable barrier of the four cordilleras has been compared to Hannibal or Napoleon´s ones.

***PLEASE NOTE MEASUREMENT IN PRINTED CATALOGUE SHOULD READ 70 x 110cm***Patrick Swift (1927-1983)Monte GordoOil on canvas, 70 x 110cmExhibited: Dublin, Irish Museum of Modern Art, 1993, cat. no. 52.In 1962, following a visit to Portugal, Swift and his wife Oonagh decided to move to the Algarve, where, with Portuguese artist Lima de Freitas, they set up Porches Pottery, a workshop dedicated to the production of hand-painted clay pottery, and to the revival of a local craft tradition that was, by the 1960s, in decline. Swift rarely exhibited thereafter, but continued to practice as a painter, and Monte Gordo is a good demonstration of the increasing lightness and fluidity of his later work. There is a brightness and warmth to this large-scale Algarve landscape that is unlike anything in his earlier, far more constricted and muted approaches to the natural world. A profuse wooded area, seen from above, occupies the lower half of the canvas; this playful foreground of swirling globe-like forms gives way to a more manicured garden in the upper part of the composition, surrounding a low-lying villa on top of the hill. There is a rhythmic, intuitive, sensuous quality to the brushwork in Swift’s later work which might have something to do with his newly-acquired knowledge and skill in relation to hand-painted ceramics. At the same time, there is a simple monumentality to Monte Gordo that perhaps echoes Cézanne’s treatment of Mont Sainte-Victoire and the landscape of Aix-en-Provence; certainly Swift felt a similarly intense and resonant connection to the landscapes of the Algarve, a connection that invigorated and transformed his late work. Monte Gordo was included in the major retrospective of Swift’s work at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 1993, ten years after his death, which prompted a revival of interest in Swift and a new assessment of his practice, and legacy, beyond the better-known early work of the 1950s.Nathan O’Donnell.
