§ Harold Knight (British 1874-1961) Clifftop View, Land's End signed (lower left), oil on canvas(74.5cm x 58.5cm (29.3in x 23in))Footnote: Knight was born in Nottingham. He trained at Nottingham School of Art - where he met Laura Johnson (1877-1970) - and in various Parisian ateliers. The couple spent time in the community of artists based at Staithes, a fishing village in Yorkshire before marrying in 1903; thereafter Laura established an international reputation under her married surname. After travelling in the Netherlands and exhibiting in London together, the Knights moved to Cornwall in 1907. They became key figures in the ‘Newlyn School’ and, despite moving to London in 1919, regularly returned to paint in Cornwall. Following the outbreak of World War One, Knight registered as a conscientious objector and worked as an agricultural labourer. After the war he became known for his portraits, interiors and landscapes, which he showed in group exhibitions including at the Royal Academy from 1896 until 1961; he was elected a member in 1937 and was President of the Nottingham Society of Artists between 1936 and 1945. The Knights were based in Malvern, Worcestershire during World War Two, with Knight dying nearby in 1961. Clifftop View, Land’s End is a beautiful example of the images Knight painted of the Cornish coast, in this case the most westerly part of mainland England. Knight’s high viewpoint does full justice to the dramatic granite cliffs, leading the eye from the detailed foreground to the high horizon in the distance. Waves follow the contours of invisible coves and bays on which bright sunshine and dense shadow play. Knight’s excellent draughtsmanship and sensitivity to colour and tone is clear. It bears witness to the declaration in a 1921 article in The Studio about Harold and Laura Knight’s work that the former ‘has devoted himself to the study of the effect of daylight, both in the open and indoors and he has mastered the difficulties created by the subtle variations of tone and colour due to the pervading light. This enables him to introduce into his pictures delicate and beautiful tone-gradations without sacrificing the brilliancy and freshness of his colour-schemes.’ (Ernest G. Halton, ‘Foreword’, Modern Paintings Number One: The Work of Laura and Harold Knight, The Studio Ltd, London, 1921, p. 5).

Ansel Adams (American, 1902-1984). Photograph titled "Winter Sunrise, The Sierra Nevada, from Lone Pine, California 1944," depicting the Sierra Nevadas lit with the rising sun. Silver gelatin print. With Ansel Adams Carmel inkstamp along the mount verso.Ansel Adams is one of the best known photographers of the American West, with his works increasing awareness of and the mystique of the National Parks. His stark, dramatic images capture the awe-inspiring nature of the landmarks he photographed. His photography was entwined with his interest in environmental activism, photographing nature with an eye for preservation.Adams was gifted his first camera on a family trip to Yosemite in 1916, which ignited his love for both photography and the park. By early adulthood, Adams had moved to Yosemite full time, and spent his time exploring and photographing the park. His first photographs were published in 1921, and by 1925 he had developed his signature style of a sharp focus and large contrast. He continued refining this style, going against the grain of the popular misty pictorialism of the time.He kept his dedication to the natural world in his photography throughout his career, and was involved in conservation efforts through the Sierra Club, among others. In addition, he played a major role in the recognition of photography by art museums and institutions, helping to establish the department of photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.Sight; Height: 18 3/4 in x width: 22 3/4 in.

On board were over two thousand people, about half of them intending to emigrate permanently, and a wealth of art and design. There was a restaurant and pool by Sir Hugh Casson. Harry Bertoia's diamond chairs for Knoll, upholstered in canary yellow, graced the 'crow's nest.' And down in the cleverly titled Pop Inn – a jukebox lounge – an interior by John Wright was enlivened with pyrography murals by a 23-year-old artist by the name of David Hockney.Wright's armchairs from the SS Canberra are an obvious reminder of the internationalism of British design; they were literally sent on the high seas as emissaries of a newly energised nation. But many other objects in the present sale performed similar roles, or conversely, reflected global currents of influence. Marcel Breuer's prewar 'Long Chair,' a masterwork by the great German designer, was principally manufactured in Estonia of high-quality Baltic birch. Aluminium die-casting, which Ernest Race used to such effect in his iconic BA3 chair, was pioneered in America, and first applied to furniture by Otto Wagner in Austria. Race adopted it in 1945 to take advantage of British manufacturing capacity in the metal, which had dramatically increased during World War II. Lucie Rie, born and raised in Austria, is considered the most significant of all British potters, having emigrated in 1938 to find refuge from the Nazis. Though her flared bowl with its luminous gold rim was made many years later, it reflects the refined sensibility she imbibed in prewar Vienna. Today, when Britain's role in the world is hotly debated, it is salutary to remember how very cosmopolitan its design history has been, even (and perhaps especially) in the years when its empire was breaking apart. This is true of ideas just as much as technology. The potter Bernard Leach, despite his reputation for introverted traditionalism, was actually a marvelously syncretic thinker. The 'Tree of Life' that appears on the vase in the present sale was originally inspired by ancient cave paintings in China. Leach loved the motif above all, though, because it appears in the art and mythology of so many cultures. Meanwhile, at first glance, William Plunkett – who, as it happened, created designs for another ocean liner, the QE2 – would seem to be the most British of designers. Trained at Kingston School of Art, he operated his own small manufactory in Croydon and even liked to upholster his seating in Harris Tweed. Yet he was born in India, a child of empire, and while his Epsom chair may be named for a town in Sussex it takes its stylistic cues primarily from contemporaneous French designers like Pierre Paulin.At the other end of the aesthetic spectrum from Leach's earthy earnestness and Plunkett's finely calibrated modernism, there is the rough and tumble phenomenon known as Creative Salvage. This was the design equivalent of New Wave, the post-punk movement in music, and similarly combined sharp intellectualism with a freewheeling experimental spirit. Though the movement wasn't named until 1985 (by Mark Brazier-Jones, Nick Jones, and Tom Dixon), its progenitor was Ron Arad, who had relocated to London from Tel Aviv to study architecture. His shop One Off, founded in 1981, quickly became the engine room of avant garde British design – a space where the new was both made and shown. Arad's use of found objects and materials, as seen in his Rover Chair and Tree Light, were pragmatically expedient, but also indebted to the Duchampian Readymade – an import from France and the USA. As a final example, consider Deborah Thomas, who operated in the wider orbit of Creative Salvage. She made her way into design from the London theatre scene, and showed primarily at the Notting Hill gallery Theme and Variations. All very British, you might say. Yet it's impossible to look at her compositions of shattered glass without seeing the impact of Arad's work, or equally, her anticipation of sculptural lighting that followed in the succeeding decade, notably by the German designer Ingo Maurer (whose famous Porca Miseria! fixture, made of broken crockery, was designed in 1994). So far as I know, nobody ever decked out an ocean liner with Thomas' ferociously brilliant chandeliers and sent it around the world, bearing a message of Britain's deep connections to everywhere else.

Sonja LandweerLidded pot, 1976Earthenware, nickel glaze, stained wood. 10.5 cm high, 13.5 cm diameter Underside with paper labels signed and handwritten 1976.Footnotes:ProvenanceSonja Landweer, Kilkenny, Republic of IrelandThence by descent to the present ownerSonja Landweer (1933 – 2019)Internationally acclaimed Dutch artist, Sonja Landweer was born in Amsterdam in 1933. She first studied ceramics at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, before establishing her own ceramics studio in 1954. As a young artist she was selected to exhibit at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam – an exhibition that showcased the revival of artisan ceramics in the Netherlands. Although trained as a ceramicist, a discipline in which she excelled and where she ceaselessly pushed the boundaries far beyond the limits of traditional function, her restless creativity and innovative practice was not limited to this medium, and throughout her life, she also explored the creative potential of drawing, printmaking, jewellery, and sculpture.Her connection to Ireland came about as a result of a 1961 Irish Export Board report on the state of Irish design which concluded that it was a wholly neglected area, badly in need of revitalisation. As a result of this report the Irish government of the day established a series of residencies for international artists and Sonja came to Ireland to teach ceramics at the Kilkenny Design Workshops. Her work came to the attention of Irish gallerist David Hendricks, and she held many successful solo exhibitions of her unique ceramics in his Dublin gallery from the 1960's to the 1980's.It was also in Ireland that she met and fell in love with the English artist, Barrie Cooke who had moved to Ireland in the 1950's. Together with Cooke, she founded the Kilkenny Arts Festival (formerly the Kilkenny Arts Week) and hosted many Irish and international writers, poets, and artists, including Seamus Heaney. In 1995 when accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature, Heaney read his poem To a Dutch Potter in Ireland, inspired by his friendship with Sonja. As an artist, Sonja developed a very personal and experimental artistic vocabulary in a variety of mediums, and her work often incorporated found objects, slate, bone, beads, wood, paper, and other fibres. Her fearlessness in her creative expression and her desire to explore and push creative boundaries is perfectly captured by the Irish Times art critic, Aidan Dunne, in his review of her retrospective exhibition at Visual Carlow in when he said that 'she is not afraid to harness wild, almost uncontrollable processes and materials in pursuit of elegantly poised forms and surfaces'.Her work is held in many public collections including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Princessehof Ceramics Museum in Leeuwarden, the Hildesheim Städtisches Museum in Germany, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin and the Ulster Museum, Belfast. She was awarded the prix artistique at the Biennale Internationale de Ceramique d'Art at Vallauris, France in 1974, an honorary award from the National College of Art & Design in Dublin in 1992 and invited to become a member of Aosdana, the prestigious Irish association of artists in 1981.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Scratches and marks to the wood. Signs of wear and tear.Measurements: 75 x 81 x 90 cm (armchair); 43 x 54 x 56 cm (Ottoman).The "Lounge" armchair and footstool set, made of moulded wood, with leather upholstery, was designed by Charles and Ray Eames. An icon of 20th century design, this furniture is part of important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York. Vitra has manufactured the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair using the same manufacturing methods since the 1950s.Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

A Finely Detailed Prisoner-Of-War Bone Model of a British Second-Rate Ship of the Line, French, early 19th century,the three-masted model with standing and running rigging, pinned and planked hull with galleries stern, red painted gun ports, horn strakes and carved and polychromed warrior figurehead, deck details include metal guns on bone carriages, capstan, stove pipes, water barrels, companionway and deck house, mounted on octagonal straw-work marquetry case with bone balustrades, surround and raised on four squat feet, the model 19cm x 21.5cm x 6.5cm, in modern glazed display case, 10in x 11in x 5in (25.5cm x 28cm x 13cm) cased Footnotes:Provenance:Ex-Lot 100, Collection Claude Vérité, Christie's, Paris, 24 June 2014.One possible identification for the present model is the HMS Northumberland, the vessel launched in 1798 which transported the Emperor Napoleon to his final Exile on St Helena in August 1815. The Northumberland had a similar figurehead and two and a half decks, as with the present model. The Northumberland also held up to 84 cannons (as does this model) despite being classified as a 74 gun ship, thanks to the guns attached to the upper deck handrails. Such firepower was less than that of a First-Rate, but within the capabilities of an elongated Second-Rate. In 2014 the model had a label to the base identifying the ship as the Northumberland.Prisoner of War pontoon models were made by French prisoners of war during the First Coalition and the Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815). The models were mainly made from the leftover bones of their food ration, constructed from memory rather than formal ship plans. The prisoners were interned on de-rigged war ships, so-called 'Hulks', which were anchored off the south coast of England. The small works of art were used as exchange objects, Later English Captains also ordered models of their ships. The execution of the models was carried out with a lot of imagination because it was not possible to work according to shipyard plans. Usually several prisoners got together and each specialized in certain tasks. Estimates are based on a total of about 300 manufactured models, half of which have been preserved today. Among the finely carved details of the present model is the figurehead of a warrior clutching his shield. Similar figureheads could be found on the French ships of the line 'Apollon' and 'Achille'.The Ship of the line was among the most prominent naval warship designs in use from the 17th century onwards. Such ships were particularly suited to the popular ship-of-the-line tactic, which comprised a column of ships firing their broadside cannons against their foe. The tactic favoured ships with the most cannons, culminating with the 19th century HMS Victoria which had over 120 guns. With the application of steam power in the mid-19th century, use of the Ship of the line declined sharply.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

These include “The Poinsettia” (1904) , “The Blue Gown” (1906) both exhibited at the Glasgow Institute of Fine arts, “Ready for the Theatre” (1905) and "The Tortoiseshell Mirror" (Paisley Museum & Art Gallery). Many of the works of this period show the strong influence of the works of Whistler. Whistler had several iconic works with the model seated in a similar manner. Ninety-six of George Henry's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums, Kelvingrove, The Hunterian, The Laing, The Guildhall Art Gallery (London), Kirkcaldy Galleries, Manchester Art Gallery, The National Galleries of Scotland and The City Art Centre (Edinburgh) and numerous others in National collections outside the UK.

He showed annually at the Royal Academy from 1904. Aside from formal figure work, he produced a number of elegant exhibition pieces around this time which were, in part, influenced by his lengthy visit to Japan with E. A. Hornel 1893-94.

* WILLIAM CROZIER HRHA (SCOTTISH/IRISH 1930 - 2011),VINE FALLoil on panel, signed and inscribed verso with the title overall size 102cm x 100.5cmUnframed. Provenance: Compass Gallery label verso.Note 1: Undated but from the "Vine & Pit" series circa 1963.Note 2: Painter and teacher, born at Yoker, Glasgow to Irish parents. William Crozier grew up in the quiet seaside town of Troon, Ayrshire and regularly visited Ireland. He studied at The Glasgow School of Art, 1949–53. From the mid-1950s he travelled widely in Europe. He then taught at Bath Academy of Art, the Central School of Arts and Crafts and Winchester School of Art. He retired as head of fine art there in 1987 to devote all his time to painting. From 1957 Crozier had a series of solo exhibitions at Drian Galleries (London), abstracts with landscape references. He was influenced at this time by American Abstract Expressionism. His later work employed more obvious landscape references, but vibrant colour and vitality continued to be key elements. He typically painted with rapid, expressive brushstrokes, in bright, contrasting colours, often disregarding traditional rules of perspective and structure. Solo exhibitions included Arthur Tooth & Sons, London (1959, 62, 63, 64); Drian Galleries, London (1958, 60, 61, 62, 65, 68, 70); The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh and London (1985, 89, 90); Compass Gallery, Glasgow (1969, 75); Richard Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh (1968, 83), Madeleine Gallery, Paris (1960); National Museum, Gdansk (1990); Taylor Galleries, Dublin (1991); and career retrospectives at the Royal Hibernian Academy’s Gallagher Gallery and the Crawford Municipal Gallery in Cork (1990). The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art gave him an important show in 1995, with another at Fenton Gallery, Cork, Ireland, 2002. In the 1980s he started living part-time in West Cork. He celebrated his 80th year with a large exhibition of his current work at the Flowers Gallery (London) while a concurrent exhibition of his paintings of the 1950s and 60s at the Pyms Gallery, also in London, triggered a reappraisal of his early painting. Acquisitions of his work by the Tate Gallery and the National Gallery of Ireland quickly followed. William Crozier's work is held in public collections in Ireland, the UK, around Europe and in the US.
