λ Sam Rabin (British 1903-1991) The Main EventMixed media on paperSigned (lower left)53 x 76cm (20¾ x 29¾ in.)Provenance: From the collection of The Hon. Sir William McAlpineSam Rabin (British 1903-1991) was born in Manchester to Jewish-Russian exiles from Vitebsk. Rabin was truly versatile in his practice: a skilled artist, sculptor, teacher and athlete. He won a scholarship to the Manchester Municipal School of Art in 1914, at age 11 - the youngest person ever to attend the prestigious school under French artist Adolphe Valette. His formal education continued at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, under Henry Tonks. In 1925 he moved to Paris, where he met and was greatly influenced by Charles Despiau. In parallel, he competed as an amateur wrestler and boxer - becoming part of the Great Britain squad for the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, and winning a bronze medal. Rabin worked as a sculptor in London on the Daily Telegraph building and London Transport headquarters, but despite this early success he was wasn't able to find a stable source of work. He funded his artistic career through professional wrestling during the 1930s. Later, Rabin went on to teach drawing at Goldsmith's College of Art, Bournemouth College of Art, and the Poole Art Centre. His students included Mary Quant, Bridget Riley and Tom Keating.Condition Report: Executed on a number of torn and joined sheets. Some lifting to the joined sheet edges at the right half of the composition.

He trained at Birmingham College of Art, then taught in Anglesey until 1973, after which he became a full time artist. Following Sir Kyffin Williams' death in 2006, Gwilym assumed the mantle of senior figure in Welsh landscape painting and was one of Wales' most admired and successful artists. Prichard was noted for his dramatic and colourful palette, and for applying the paint thickly and expressively into forms that pare the Welsh landscape down to its essentials. Ceri Richards once said that Gwilym Prichard "painted the bones beneath the land". In so doing, he managed to display his joy in the richness and beauty of his native land. Gwilym spent many years living in Brittany, France, where he exhibited regularly and was also widely admired. In 1995 he was awarded the Silver Medal by the French Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters. He was elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1970 and was an Honorary Fellow of the University of Wales. In 1999 he returned to live and work in Wales, making regular painting trips throughout north and west Wales. Gwilym died in June 2015. His work is held in the collections of the Arts Council of Wales; Contemporary Art Society of Wales; Government Art Collection; Lincoln College, Oxford; National Library of Wales; Nuffield Foundation; University of Wales, Aberystwyth; University of Wales, Bangor; and further private collections worldwide.Condition Report: In overall good condition.
