§ Leonie Jonleigh (British, 1901-1974) The Garden Wall signed 'L. Jonleigh' (upper left) oil on board 49 x 39cm (19 x 15in) Other Notes: Leonie Jonleigh initially trained as a ballet dancer before leaving to pursue a career as an artist. She eventually set up her own studio near Guildford where she regularly exhibited other artists' work. She had no formal artistic training, instead relying on the guidance provided by Carel Weight who taught at the Royal College of Art and gave Jonleigh private lessons. The influence of Weight is particularly evident in 'The Garden Wall', which bears a distinct stylistic resemblance to Carel Weight's painting, 'Builders' (1969), sold (Modern Art Auctions, December 8 2016, Lot 39); this work was exhibited at Jonleigh's Guildford studio. Jonleigh's paintings gained renown for their ability to raise the ordinary to the extraordinary, and have been included in numerous exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Leicester Galleries, the Zwemmer Gallery, and at the Royal Society of British Artists. Evidence of extensive cleaning.

After John Piper (1903-1992) a British Film Institute /Observer Film Exhibition 1956 silhouette greeting card:, printed to one side with an archway with cut card figures standing in a queue, the reverse inscribed as per title and marked 'An Impression of the Shadow Theatre by John Piper', 13.7 x 18.5cm.* Biography. John Piper was a painter, notably of architecture and landscape, a designer of stained glass, theatre designer, author and writer. He was born in Epsom and in his early years studied law, [1921-1926], working in his father's law firm. From 1926 he went on to study Art at Richmond and Kingston, latterly at the Royal College, and it was here that he met and married his first wife Eileen Holding. He visited Paris and was absorbed by the abstract painters he met there, influencing his style from the early 1930s. But by the late 1930s he had reverted to representational work. In 1937 he worked, along with John Betjeman, on the famous Shell series of guide books. His first solo show, of collages and drawings, was at the London Gallery in 1938. At this time he was also a prolific writer, working for the New Statesman and the Athenaeum. John Piper went on to exhibit with the Leicester Galleries from 1940-1960. In 1942 he published the best-selling monograph, English Romantic Artists. His ballet designs included The Quest in 1943 and commissions for Benjamin Britten .He was an official War Artist from 1939-1945. In 1940 Piper persuaded the War Artists Commission that he should be painting the sights of bombed churches. As a recent convert to the Anglican Church and with the subject of ruined buildings being close to his heart, this agreed commission produced a number of his finest mixed media drawings. His stained glass window designs include Coventry Cathedral and Christchurch College Chapel, Oxford. He also created tapestries for Chichester Cathedral, Hereford and Llandaff. In the 1960s and 1970s Piper spent time painting extensively in Pembrokeshire. Retrospectives were held at The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford in 1979 and The Tate Gallery in 1983. Centenary shows were at Pallant House and Goldmark Gallery. John Piper lived in a derelict farmhouse at Fawley Bottom, Oxfordshire with his second wife Myfanwy Evans. In later life he suffered from dementia and died at his home in 1992.

* JAMES HOWIE (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2011), LUNAN oil on board, signed, titled and dated Dec 1991 verso 63cm x 81cm Framed. Label verso: Bruton Gallery, Bruton, Somerset. With title and date. Note: When in 1982 the renowned Glasgow artic critic Denys Sutton was invited to choose the finest 25 painters of the 20th century his choice included Augustus John, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon and a comparatively unknown Dundonian, Jimmy Howie, who eschewed the conventional art scene. Later that year John Schlesinger made a television programme about him in which Howie explored his attitude and relative lack of commercial success: "Either one paints as a vocation or as a career, it is probably impossible to mix the two." Howie was later offered and refused a chair in a leading Scottish art college on the grounds that the teaching would interfere with his painting. Jimmy Howie was born in Dundee in 1931, the son of a printer at DC Thomson, and he loved the city dearly. He attended the Harris Academy and then the city's college of art, where he concentrated on learning complex techniques in glazing. After two years of national service, latterly as a sergeant running an educational facility in Liverpool, he spent time in Ibiza and then in an advertising agency in Jamaica and worked for a while as a gesso boy - preparing canvases with glue and chalk - in London, learning in particular the art of canvas stretching and frame making. In 1983 when he spent a year on the waterless Spanish island of Formentera where he mixed his own paints, made his own gesso from rabbit skin and chalk and experimented with traditional glazes. His signature works were large canvases with colours drawn from the soft pallet of the semi-wilderness but often with large dark areas for contrast. Some termed these works gloomy and introspective but their ambers often glowed and their greens shone and others felt that they seemed to turn up the volume on life itself. Such works sold well. He was widely praised by many and would usually hold one show a year, though he only produced around half a dozen works a year, and refused to play the "art game". He was happier sitting in his studio in Dundee listening to a test match as he reworked, yet again, one of his masterpieces, than being out at art parties and never made nearly as much money as he might have. He made no pretence of his almost biological need to paint, and more than once compared it to his other great need - to dance. But Jimmy was no mere unworldly artist for he was well read and politically aware and, although naturally cheerful, he was furious at some of the art initiatives that came to Dundee due to what he once termed the "dodgy men in silly glasses sent to put us right". Public collections include Glasgow University, Dundee Art Gallery, The Scottish Arts Council & The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Howie's paintings very rarely appear at auction and this is believed to be the first since two were sold by McTear's in 2016 acchieving hammer prices of £3600 and £4000 (lot 64 18/9/16 and lot 19 27/11/16).

* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b 1958), STUDY FOR SAINT JOHN OGILIVIE oil on canvas, signed, further signed, titled and dated 2010 verso 61cm x 46cm Framed. Note : A remarkable study for the painting commissioned by the Archdiocese of Glasgow. Provenance: Sold McTear's 01.11.2011 lot 66 for £5200 (hammer). Note 2: Peter Howson has established a formidable reputation as one of his generation's leading figurative painters. Many of his paintings derive inspiration from the streets of Glasgow, where he was brought up. He is renowned for his penetrating insight into the human condition, and his heroic portrayals of the mighty and meek. His art is described by Robert Heller as "founded in Humanity, especially the human face". Howson was born in London in 1958. He studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 - 1977, and returned in 1979 to complete a Masters degree . In 1985 he was made the Artist in Residence at the University of St Andrews and also a part-time tutor at Glasgow School of Art. In 1992 he was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to record the conflict in the former Yugoslavia . He was appointed official British war artist for Bosnia in 1993 and a few years later in 1996 was awarded Doctor of Letters Honoras Causa, University of Strathclyde. In 2011 Howson completed a dramatic rendering of the martyrdom of St John Ogilvie for the renovated St Andrew's Cathedral in Glasgow. The two year process of working on the commission was the subject of a major BBC documentary. Howson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours for sevices to the visual arts, and in early 2014 he completed a 300 mile walk in order to raise awareness of autism. His work is represented in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York; the Tate Gallery, London; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the British Museum, London; The Imperial War Museum, London; The Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; and The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.
