* ALAN DAVIE CBE RA HRSA RWA (SCOTTISH 1920 - 2014), EL TERREMOTO gouache on paper, signed, titled and dated 89 56cm x 77cm Framed and under glass Note: Scottish painter, trained as a painter at Edinburgh College of Art from 1938 to 1940, initially favouring poetic imagery and coming into contact with modernism at exhibitions held in London of works by Picasso (1945; V&A) and Paul Klee (1945; Tate). He explored a diverse range of activities, however, before returning to painting from 1949 to 1953 he earned his living by making jewellery and in 1947 he worked as a jazz musician, an activity he continued in later life. He wrote poetry during the early 1940s. From 1953 to 1956 Davie taught in London at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where he became interested in African and Pacific art. As early as 1958 Davie emphasised the importance in his work of intuition, as expressed in the form of enigmatic signs. During the 1960s, both in paintings and in coloured lithographs, he represented such images with increasing clarity at the expense of gestural handling. In 1971 he made his first visit to the island of St Lucia, where he began to spend half of each year and which brought Caribbean influences to bear on his suggestive imagery, as in Bird Gong No. 10, Opus 730 (1973; London, Brit. Council). Taking on the role of a disinherited shaman, Davie created a synthesis of mythologies from a variety of cultures for a modern civilisation devoid of its own village myths.

Glyn Philpot, RA (British,1884-1937) a cast bronze figure 'Wrestling Giants', a posthumous casting mounted on a later unassociated marble plinth base, numbered 2/10 Literature: For a similar example, see Christie's 20th Centruy British Art, 9th June 2006, lot 76. See also, R. Gibson, exhibition catalogue, Glyn Philpot 1884-1937: Edwardian Aesthete to Thirties Modernist, London, National Portrait Gallery, 1984, p. 116, another cast illustrated. Exhibition catalogue, Glyn Philpot 1884-1937: The Bronzes, London, Leighton House, no. 1, another cast illustrated Originally conceived in 1905, 'The Wrestlers' was neither cast nor exhibited in the artist's lifetime, (possibly due to the homoerotic nature of the subject matter), however it is known to have existed in the form of a plaster maquette. Upon Philpot's death in 1937 the maquette was inherited by the family and in 1968 the first two bronze casts were made by the artist's niece. Gabrielle Cross. The title of the maquette 'The Wrestlers' is a modern one and may not accurately reflect the nature of the subject

§ Adam Lowe (British, b.1959) Nude charcoal 67 x 102cm (26 x 40in) Provenance: The Purdy Hicks Gallery, 65 Hopton Street, London, SE1. Born in Oxfordshire in 1959, Adam Lowe studied at the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford, where he met his contemporary Piers Wardle. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Whitworth Gallery at the University of Manchester. He has also exhibited at the MIMA (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art). Condition appears fine.

After Jacques Adnet, (French, 1901-1984), 'Le Pigeon S'Envole', a large patinated bronze of a stylised bird, the stepped base stamped Adnet, Paris 48cm (19in) Jacques Adnet (1901- 1984 ) was a French art deco designer and architect know particularly for his furniture designs using leather. He believed in design paired down with a geometrical simplicity and is quoted as remarking about his designs "What a lot of work to achieve simplicity". His furniture and designs can be found in the Elysee Palace and headquarters of UNESCO. Contemporary designers acknowledge that he created a legacy of fine design that feels "modern" even today. Likely that this is a casting from the second half of the 20th century, but in excellent condition.

After Maurice Lambert, (1901-1964), Bird in Flight, a stylised bronze, modelled as a bird taking flight above an egg, stamped 'ML' and partially legible paper label to underside states provenance as Constant Lambert 45cm (18in) See Bonhams Modern British Art sale, 13 November 2012 for a similar model.

After Francois Pompon, (French, 1855-1933), a patinated bronze model of a partridge, mounted on a bevelled rectangular marble base, signed in the bronze 21½ x 15cm (8 x 6in) Francois Pompon (1855-1933) was born in Burgundy and moved to Paris to study art and initially worked as an assistant to Auguste Rodin. He became famous for his stylised animals and is considered a forerunner of modern sculpture, influencing amongst others Constantin Brancusi. His most famous work, L'Ours Blanc (the White Bear) of 1922 has been frequently reproduced. The original is displayed in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.

Charles Sims (British, 1873-1928) The Wood beyond the World, 1913 signed lower right "Sims" oil on canvas 69 x 101cm (27 x 39in) Provenance: Private Collection, Cambridge. Charles Sims enrolled at the South Kensington College of Art in 1890 before moving to Paris for two years at the Académie Julian. Needing a bursary to support himself, he moved back to London and enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in 1893. From 1896, he developed an increasingly successful career, first exhibiting "The Vine" at the Royal Academy in 1896, and selling another painting "Childhood" to the Musée du Luxembourg. An expert at portraying sunlit landscapes, he specialised in society portraits and neo-classical fantasies, typically idealised scenes of women, children or fairies in outdoor settings. In 1906 a one-man show at the Leicester Galleries brought him critical and financial success, allowing him to relocate to rural Fittleworth. In 1910 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Watercolour Society, and in 1915 to the Royal Academy. "The Wood beyond the World" represents an idyllic scene celebrating springtide and the optimism of life. It is reminiscent of both "Primavera" by Botticelli and the work of Puvis de Chavannes. The children portray the chastity of youth, whilst alluding to pagan traditions and symbolism. The group of three female figures are the three Graces from classical mythology, whilst the central woman holding a child portrays the Madonna. A version of the present painting is in the collection of Tate Modern. Under UV there does appear to be large areas of retouching, notably in the sky. On the surface the retouching is translucent and has been applied up and around the trees and other features of the scene. Some of the figures also have retouching in their draperies, reinforcing these areas. Retouching has been applied around the signature at the bottom. The painting is unlined, there are signs of mould growth visible on the reverse. It is not immediately obvious why the retouching has been applied in such a wholesale manner. Some areas of original paint show signs of wear and abrasion, the tops of the canvas weave are exposed in these areas, but the translucent retouching does not completely cover areas of abrasion. It may have been applied to even out the appearance of the work. It would be very interesting to compare this to the version in Tate in terms of painting technique and condition.

§ Lionel Bulmer, NEAC (British, 1919-1992) Study for "The Grove" signed lower right "L Bulmer" oil on board 30 x 29cm (12 x 11in) Provenance: The Phoenix Gallery, Lavenham, Suffolk. Lionel Bulmer was a superb draughtsman and teacher, a modern romantic painter working in colour with a pointillist style. Bulmer studied at the Royal College of Art in the post-World War II years and later taught at Kingston College of Art. His work was recently featured in the 'Modern Romantics' exhibitions at Messum's, Cork Street London, 10th-27th September 2014.

Takeshi Yasuda, (Japanese, b.1943), a 'Sancai' stoneware pillow dish and a shallow bowl/stand, stoneware with pale yellow, brown and green 'Sancai' glazes, original signed paper label to pillow dish, dated 7/05/94 (2) Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1943, Takeshi Yasuda trained in Mashiko from 1963-1966 and settled in Britain in 1973. His early work was wash-glazed stoneware and he later worked in Sancai and Creamware. His Sancai series was developed from 1984 whilst resident at the Cleveland Craft Centre (MIMA). Sancai pottery originated from China using white clay and a glaze typically showing intermingled colours of copper (turns green) and iron (brownish yellow). More recently Yasunda has been working with celadon-glazed porcelain. He has taught in universities across the UK and is currently the Director of Pottery in Jingdezhen China. His work is held in a number of public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Craft Council Collection. MIMA (the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art) holds several examples of his Sancai series.

A member of the Surrealist movement along with Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst. In 1932 she moved to Paris, the following year meeting Alberto Giacometti who invited her to participate in the Surrealist exhibition in the Salon des Surindependants of that year. Her best known piece of work , 'Object (Le Dejeuner en fourrure)' , is a teacup, saucer and spoon covered in gazelle fur. It is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A major retrospective of her work was held in 2013 in Berlin with lenders including David Bowie and Ursual Hauser. An etching by Oppenheim of Giacometti's ear was sold at Bonhams in 1999.

§ Iain Macnab (British, 1890-1967) Nude signed lower right "Iain Macnab" oil on canvas 49 x 62cm (19 x 24in) Provenance: From a Norfolk country house. Iain Macnab was the founder and principal of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, which pioneered linocut as an art form. His school of teaching focused on the 'rhythm' of the composition, created by curved lines and planes of colour. This concept founded the basis of the early linocuts of Macnab and his pupils. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy, and his work is in the permanent collections of the V&A, the British Museum and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
