MATÍAS PALAU FERRER (Montblanch, 1921-2000)."Young man with guitar".Waxes and pastel on thick paper.Signed in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 70 x 50 cm.The delicate feminine portraits of cubist heritage like the one we are dealing with were Palau Ferrer's most emblematic and personal creations.He studied at the Real Academia Catalana de Bellas Artes de San Jorge, Barcelona and moved to Paris in 1957 where he was one of Pablo Picasso's disciples. He began with some cubist-inspired works on oil canvases. Over the years he also did some ceramics and a few sculptures. After coming to fame in Spain he exhibited in several foreign countries, including France, the UK and the USA. His most important works are Woman and Moon, Montblanch and Guer-Blanc. Palau Ferré became notorious for his sudden mood swings, which led him to burn his oil paintings in 1974 after a dispute with a gallery owner. As a protest against what he defined as the "prostitution of art", he continued to systematically burn all his oil paintings that came into his possession over a period of about twenty years. He usually scattered the ashes of his paintings ceremonially in the Francolí River in his homeland, but some of the ashes of his canvases were saved and became part of an art exhibition in Pennsylvania, USA.1 His prolonged protest led him to stop painting oil canvases and to prohibit the few that survived from being exhibited until 1989. In his last artistic phase he painted only in India ink on thick paper using a technique of his own invention. He always signed his works with his two surnames "Palau Ferré". Palau Ferré died on 1 January 2000 in Montblanch and the town council named a street after him that same year. Months later, the Palau Ferré Art Museum was inaugurated, where some of his works are exhibited, including some rare canvases that were saved from burning.

Brian Irving (1931-2013)Dales sheep gathering at a farmPencil and watercolour heightened with white, 20.5cm by 29cm Provenance: From the artist's estateAuthenticated by the artist's son and executorBorn into a family of farmers in Bolton Abbey, Brian Irving farmed in Wharfedale, where he lived all his life.His days were split in the farming community, never far from the flocks of sheep, the working horses with the plough, the sheepdogs with their masters looking up at the fells, across the fields or walking along the drystone walls. He sketched the myriad faces of this environment day in, day out, in pencil, charcoal and pastel. In watercolour he captured every nuance before him.

An inspired, naturally gifted and self-taught artist, he captured as no other the essence of the Yorkshire Dales, its landscapes, the people and animals of the farming community.
