* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), GREEN ANGEL pastel on paper, signed, titled partial label versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 54cm x 64cm, overall size 85cm x 94cm Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, wrote: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, Rozelle House Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries and The Fleming Collection (London). Numerous prestigious corporate collections in the UK and France and in private collections around the world.

Alfred WALLIS (1855-1942) Trawler Passing a Lighthouse, circa 1935 Oil on board, Dartington Hall Collection label to verso, 36.5 x 54cm (irregular), framed 61 x 77cmProvenancePurchased from Alfred Wallis by Dorothy Elmhirst via Jim Ede, 1935Dartington Hall TrustExhibited Musee des beaux-arts de Quimper, Brittany 16th May to Sept 1st 1997 and then at Tate St Ives from Sept 1st 1997Literature'Alfred Wallis - primitive' by Sven Berlin, 1992 edition, colour plate VIII. 'British Artists - Alfred Wallis' Matthew Gale, Tate, illustrated page 68'Alfred Wallis - St Ives Artists' Matthew Gale, illustrated page 54Catalogue NoteIn 1935, Dorothy Elmhirst, purchased 9 paintings from Alfred Wallis, via her friend Jim Ede, the curator of the Tate Gallery, London in the 1920s & 30s and the founder of Kettles Yard, Cambridge. She gifted the majority of the works to her son Michael Straight but held on to her favourites, this being one of them, her fascination with Trawlers Passing a Lighthouse is described in her correspondence (below) with Jim Ede.On the 29th of October 1935, Ede wrote to Dorothy Elmhirst -"Dear Dorothy,I wonder if you would like a batch of pictures by Alfred Wallis? Anyhow I sent for some for you and I'm posting them on. They would be £3 the lot! If you don't like them, forgive me and post them back but if you would get your people to frame them up like the one I bought you, you will find that they suddenly look no end good. Altogether they always look a bit of a jumble I've sent 9 or 10....' Ede wrote again on the 9th of December 1935 to say'My Dear Dorothy, I wonder if you've got the pictures by Wallace(sic) and whether you want to buy them. I'm sorry to bother you and for being impatient – but I like at once to tell him what I am taking and to send him back the rest with the money. He gets all hot and bothered if he does not hear about my return!!..."Dorothy responded on the 10th of December 1935"Dear Jim,You must forgive my delay in answering your letter. We have been immersed in a family wedding followed by the concentrated activities of the last week of term.The arrival of the Wallace(sic) pictures was a moment of great excitement for Leonard and me. They are utterly fascinating, particularly, to my mind, the perpendicular picture in two levels with the steamer in port and three sailing ships setting out from the Lighthouse. I am grateful to you for sending these down to us, and they are going to serve as Christmas presents for my son Michael. I enclose three pounds, which seems a most paltry sum. Don't you think we ought to give Mr Wallace at least £5; or will this be spoiling your market?..."In 1925, visionaries Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst purchased the run-down medieval estate, Dartington Hall, near Totnes, Devon. They poured Dorothy's inherited wealth into restorations and created a centre for education, arts, and social reform, transforming Dartington into a hub for experimentation and innovation. During their lifetimes they maintained links and friendships with many of the pioneering thinkers and creatives of the 20th century, such as Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Bernard Leach and many notable alumni including Lucien Freud, Oliver Postgate and Breon O'Casey. This important painting with its distinguished provenance has remained in very good condition. It has been executed on a board which has been cut out by the artist. There is minimal cracking of paint near the edges and some losses to the lower edge. The board is flat and UV light examination shows no sign of retouching. The work is float mounted in a box frame.
