Lot 167
Fritz Scholder (American, 1937-2005). Oil painting on paper depicting two abstracted human figures - one purple, the other green - in the midst of an embrace. The couple is set against a dark gray background with an amorphous form protruding from them and reaching out towards the left frame. Signed along the lower right in pencil.Fritz Scholder was born in Breckenridge, Minnesota in 1937 to parents that worked in pottery and in school administration for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Fritz Scholder’s paternal grandmother was a member of the Luiseño tribe of California’s Mission Indians. Thus, he was one-quarter Indian and did not identify as an Indian. He was raised in Wahpeton, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin, attending public schools with primarily Anglo children. His first American Indian instructor was Oscar Howe at a high school in Pierre, South Dakota, who introduced him to modern art. In the 1950s, Scholder and his family moved to California, studying at Sacramento City College with Wayne Thiebaud, a pop artist. Thiebaud presented him with early opportunities to showcase his work. Scholder’s first show was in 1961 in Sacramento, which received excellent reviews. Scholder’s style was that of bold colors and generous brushstrokes. After graduating with an MFA Degree in 1964, Scholder became an instructor at the newly formed Institute of American Indians Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, remaining there for five years.In 1967 he began creating a series that maintained his bold, contemporary style that combined Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, while introducing depictions of the contemporary lifestyle of American Indians. With humor, he presented such clichés, and he drew attention to the issues of self-alienation and the enforced alienation of these citizens. He resigned from teaching in 1969 and travelled to Basel and Egypt before settling in Scottsdale, Arizona. He then moved into the American Portrait series. He also pursued tactile sculpture, which merged his experience of the medium in graduate school with his imagination. The American Portrait series and sculptural works were inspired by his collection of Egyptian artifacts that he lived with, along with a desire to imbue his work with more of his self.Scholder’s Indian series continued to garner attention while his newer series were being explored. In 1972 a two-person show with a former student, Two American Painters: Fritz Scholder and T.C. Cannon, opened at the American Museum of Art of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. to good reviews and it traveled to Romania, Yugoslavia, Berlin and London. He began the American Portrait by 1980 and the Flower series in 1979, inspired by his surroundings and the challenge of pursuing non-figural subject and in a beautiful manner. His work was shown at the Basel International Art Fair in 1974, The Tucson Museum of art for a 1981 retrospective, and the Phoenix Art Museum in 1997 for his beastly artworks. In addition three documentaries were produced on the artist, in 1977, 1997, and 2008, the former two made by PBS. Following his death in 2005, an important exhibition was held in 2008 at the National Museum of the American Indian, Washington D.C. and New York, called “Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian,†which placed many of his artworks from private collections on public view. Today Scholder’s works are in the collections of: Museum of Modern Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art; Art Gallery of Toronto; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; Center Cultural American, Paris; Los Angeles County Museum, California; San Francisco Museum of Art; National Collection of Fine Arts; and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.Provenance: Private collection, Minnesota.Sight; height: 29 3/4 in x width: 22 3/4 in.

Richard Ansdell, RA (British, 1815-1885)Harrison Blair Fishing on the Spean signed 'R. Ansdell./.1855' (lower left) oil on canvas69.5 x 122.5cm (27 3/8 x 48 1/4in).Footnotes:ProvenancePainted for Harrison Blair.And thence by descent to the Great Grandfather of the present owner.ExhibitedLondon, Leicester and Liverpool, The Arts Council of Great Britain, British Sporting Painting 1650-1850, 1974, no. 202.Sotheby's, The British Sporting Heritage. A loan exhibition of Works of Art, 19 December 1984-18 January 1985, no. 275.This present lot is a remarkable painting. Not least for the depiction of an unusual subject, but for the very strong provenance that accompanies it – something of a rarity these days. This is because, until now, the painting has remained in one family throughout. It originally belonged to the Godfather of the present owner's grandfather. The Godfather's great-uncle was a Mr. Harrison Blair who is depicted here fishing on the River Spean. Mr. Harrison Blair was a great friend of the artist, Richard Ansdell – so much so that two of Ansdell's sons were named Harry Blair Ansdell. The first son died of croup in his infancy (the only Ansdell child to die) and the next born – another son – was also called Harry Blair Ansdell. He became a Printseller.Mr. Harrison Blair (c.1812-1870) was a prominent figure in Lancashire society. He was first Chairman of Kearsley Local Board. He was also founder and Chairman of the Kearsley Gas Works and later a Magistrate and, together with his wife, a philanthropist. He was a Manufacturing Chemist at Kearsley together with Richard Ansdell's eldest son (Thomas Chester Ansdell): this probably defines the link between the two families. He was a contemporary of the artist and they became firm friends, both taking estates on the River Spean in the Highlands of Scotland. Both gentlemen loved fishing for salmon, hence this wonderful portrait by Ansdell of his friend standing stoically in full gentleman's regalia in a pool amongst the rushing waters of the river. He is depicted as catching a fine fresh run salmon with a rod which would have been state of the art at the time – probably a 'Whippy' rod of greenheart (a mahogany-type hardwood) rather than the earlier, less yielding, ash and oak. Mr. Blair is ably assisted by his gillie who is kneeling on a wet and slippery boulder gaffing the salmon before it is brought in.Mr. Blair cuts a fine figure in his stylish clothes, grey top hat, starched wing collar and gold fob watch standing unperturbed in icy waters in (I presume) his everyday boots and stockings. He would have been in his late forties, his hair greying already. The gillie is beautifully depicted as he crouches over the boulder in his kilt, getting uncomfortably wet, jostling with the writhing salmon; his Tam O' Shanter and plaid draped over the rocks in the foreground. The salmon itself is a masterpiece of depiction.This is a dramatic painting of a typical fast-flowing major Scottish river carving its way between banks of glowering rock with the ever-present threat of heavy rain, a hopeful touch of blue in the sky and the wheeling flocks of birds, so typical of Ansdell. The water itself is depicted with huge strength and purpose, from the tiny slants of white caught by the wind dripping off the road, to the spray dashing against the rocks and the tremendous power of the current creating eddying surf which can almost be heard. The water itself invites close and fascinating study – it is obvious that Ansdell enjoyed himself immensely when he painted this wonderful and unique study of his friend, Mr. Harrison Blair.We are grateful to Sarah Kellam, great, great Granddaughter to Richard Ansdell RA, for compiling this catalogue entry.

Distinguished Flying Medal. N.Z.405487 Flight Sergeant William Leonard HARVEY, Royal New Zealand Air Force, No. 149 Squadron. One night in February, 1943, Flying Officer Drummond and Flight Sergeant Harvey were captain and wireless operator respectively of an aircraft detailed for a mine-laying mission in an area close in to shore. During the run-in, the aircraft was subjected to considerable searchlight activity and intense opposing fire which raked the bomber from front to rear. Much damage was sustained and three of the crew were hit, including Flight Sergeant Harvey, who suffered a deep wound in the head. Despite this, Flying Officer Drummond held on his course and released his mines exactly as planned. On the return flight, Flight Sergeant Harvey, although in pain and bleeding profusely, remained at his post, continuing his duties. He obtained a number of fixes and bearings which proved of great assistance to his captain who eventually flew the badly damaged aircraft to base. Both these members of aircraft crew, who have completed many sorties, have always displayed great determination, skill and devotion to duty”. A George Alfred Patrick of No149 Squadron was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross in June 1943.
