Edward Stratton Holloway (American/Pennsylvania, 1859-1939), "Beach Scene with a Young Man and Child Picking Flowers", probably 1885, oil on canvas, signed lower right, remnant of paper label with date en verso of stretcher, 30 in. x 50 in., framed. Provenance: "Greenwood" broadly inscribed in pencil on lateral rail of stretcher. Note: The most significant features of this atmospheric scene are the relative frequency of houses along its beachfront, the large driftwood tree on which the child is sitting, and the small ship on the horizon at the upper right. This last is clearly a coasting vessel, having only a single smokestack, as well as cargo derricks: it is shown (nearby) as steaming east or southeast toward more open water, with a dense plume of smoke blown back toward its recent port by a strong onshore wind. By the very nature of the American east coast, the ship`s near entry into the Atlantic, on this trajectory, the setting of this painting is either the New Jersey shore, northerly Atlantic beaches of Delaware, or the Virginia beach. The first of these options seems out of the question, when we consider which 19th-century towns the artist might have visited: the only spot this close to Sandy Hook, on the Jersey shore, was the fashionable watering-place of Long Branch, which Winslow Homer had very memorably shown, already in 1869 to possess very high dunes. Similarly our third option is hardly feasible, since Virginia Beach was so exiguously populated in 1885. On the chance that our ocean-going cargo ship might have left from Delaware Bay, this scene may be an 1885 `portrait` of Rehoboth Beach, which in the 1880s was increasingly popular with patrons from Washington and Baltimore. Given the proximity to Holloway`s base in Philadelphia, this scene likely represents one of the smaller clusters of homes between Cape May and Atlantic City. Edward Stratton Holloway was born in upstate New York. By age twenty-two he was already exhibiting regularly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he had also attended art classes. He showed pictures from 1888 at New York`s National Academy of Design, from 1897 at the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 1904 at the St. Louis World`s Fair, where he was awarded a medal. For forty-six years, he worked as an author and art director at the Philadelphia publishing house of J. B. Lippincott—which makes it all the more likely that his coastal excursions may have been limited to weekends. The unusually bold signature on this closely observed and beautifully painted scene, with its reminiscences of the Barbizon style that he would have mastered as a pupil, bespeaks both the energy and confidence of his age.

§ KEITH MILOW, BRITISH b. 1945. Print of part of James Sterling`s History Faculty Building, Cambridge University, on layered transparent medium with diagonal cross, sand filled between layers. PROVENANCE: gifted to Michael Compton by the artist. The History Faculty Building, Cambridge University designed by James Sterling was completed in 1968 and awarded a Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal in 1970. It caused much discussion among those who admired the architect and those who had to use the library which proved user-unfriendly. This lot is part of a single owner collection of 28 lots to include Roy Lichtenstein, Marcel Broodthaers, Terry Frost, Henry Moore, Richard Long, Victor Newsome, Keith Milow, Billy Al Bengston, Ian Stephenson, Sol LeWitt and Joe Tilson. KEITH MILOW, b.1945: An abstract sculptor, painter and printmaker. Educated at Camberwell School of Art 1962-1967, and the Royal College of Art 1967-1968. At the RCA Milow had access to facilities for experimental printing of which this work is a very fine example. The subject matter suggests it was made between two exhibitions in which Milow showed work, `Young Contemporaries` 1967 (Tate Britain) and `Six at the Hayward` (Hayward Gallery, London 1969) with which Compton was connected. In 1970 Milow received a Gregory Fellowship from Leeds University, which was followed in 1972 by a Harkness Fellowship to the USA. Awards included the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation award (1976), and the Arts Council of Great Britain major award (1979). During the 1970s Milow`s work was shown by the young dealer Nigel Greenwood, along with artists such as Gilbert & George and was included in The New Art exhibition, Hayward Gallery, London 1972, organised by the Art`s Council of which Compton was a panel member. From 1980 to 2002 Milow lived in New York; in 2002 he moved to Amsterdam where he still lives and works. 29.90 x 30½in. (76 x 76cm) Possibly some sand escaped over the years. Fixing tape visible around the border in three places, most notable to the top towards the centre. No other damage found.§ ARR (Artist Resale Right) is additionally payable on this lot please contact the auctioneer for details.
