Robin Christian Andersen* Blumenlandschaft, 1928 Öl auf Leinwand, 86,5 x 115 cm Signiert rechts unten: R. C. Andersen Richard Kantor (Erwerb direkt vom Künstler, siehe Andersens Beitrag „Erkenntnis“ in: Österreichische Kunst. Monatshefte für bildende Kunst, 1. Jg., 1929/30, Heft 10, August 1930, S. 3-8, Abb. S. 8); seit Mitte der 1930er Jahre Privatbesitz, Österreich; ca. 1970 vom Voreigentümer im Kunsthandel erworben; durch Erbfolge seit 1983 in österreichischem Privatbesitz Das Gemälde wurde von Herrn Dr. Franz Smola für das Werkverzeichnis Robin Christian Andersen in der Reihe der Belvedere Werkverzeichnisse dokumentiert. Zu den von Robin Christian Andersen bevorzugten Motiven zählten zweifellos seit jeher Blumendarstellungen. Bereits in den Jahren um und vor 1918 spezialisierte sich der Künstler auf die Darstellung prachtvoller Blumenbouquets in Vasen und Schalen. In den 1920er Jahren bereicherte er dieses Genre mit sogenannten „Blumenlandschaften“. Dafür wählte Andersen einen Ausschnitt aus einer Gruppe von natürlich wachsenden Blumen, wie er sie etwa in einem Garten vorgefunden haben dürfte. Aufgrund der Nahsichtigkeit der Darstellung wird die Umgebung der Blumengruppe allerdings völlig ausgeblendet, der Blick konzentriert sich ausschließlich auf die Pracht der Blüten und Blätter. Ein weiteres Beispiel einer solchen Blumenlandschaft Andersens fand sehr früh Eingang in die Sammlung der Österreichischen Galerie Belvedere, nämlich das Gemälde „Blumenlandschaft“, das in einem frühen Katalog des Museums mit 1928 datiert wird. Vermutlich sind beide „Blumenlandschaften“ nicht nur zur selben Zeit entstanden, sondern bildeten aufgrund der gleichen Bildformate möglicherweise sogar Pendants. Dafür sprechen auch ihre gleichen Bildtitel, die beide als Originaltitel verbürgt sind. Unter diesem Titel wurde nämlich das vorliegende, nun zur Versteigerung gelangende Gemälde in der Zeitschrift „Österreichische Kunst. Monatshefte für bildende Kunst“, 1. Jg., 1929/30, abgedruckt, wo es neben weiteren Werken des Künstlers als Illustration für einen von Andersen selbst verfassten Beitrag diente. Und das Werk des Belvedere wurde ebenfalls unter diesem Titel bereits im Jahr seiner Entstehung vom Museum erworben.

Bowman MBELieutenant Colonel Robert Bowman (Bob) joined the 16th / 5th Lancers at the age of 19 in York 1934 serving for fifty years continuously from 1934 – 1984 with the regiment starting as a from the lowest ranks and mucking horse stables out to holding the title of Lieutenant Colonel and receiving the MBE in 1958.Bob Bowman’s career truly began when he moved with the regiment to Hounslow in 1937 where they were based for the 1937 Coronation of King George VI, Bob was in the Musical Ride at Olympia. In November of the same year the Lancers sailed to India and here Bob Bowman was present for the final ceremonial mounted parade for the 16th / 5th Lancers on 1st January 1939 at Risalpur to mark the anniversary of Queen Victoria becoming Empress of India (the equivalent in India of Trooping the Colour) Bob Bowman was to return to the UK upon the outbreak of WWII before the regiment then sailed to North Africa to embark on operation Torch. It was here that Bob Bowman learnt skills that were to be used for life when he was drafted into the Quartermaster’s department. Bob Bowman served with the regiment throughout both the North Africa campaign and the Italian Campaign.Bob Bowman’s importance in the Quartermaster’s department cannot be overstated. He was to revolutionise systems and set new standards so significant that the rest of the Army would move over to new methods of working as devised by Bob. Quartermasters of other regiments were sent to see Bob Bowman and his advice and professionalism was sought and appreciated by both the QM’s and Bobs commanding officers.Amongst many other achievements Bob Bowman was in the representative party of the 15th / 6th Lancers to be invited to Windsor Castle during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Upon reaching retirement age for active service Bob Bowman took on the role of Regimental Secretary at Home Headquarters.

A fine and early Worcester beaker vase, circa 1754Of 'Scratch Cross' type and of waisted, cylindrical form, finely painted with the 'Bird and Snail' pattern, the bird perched on one of two gnarled branches which stand by a small, red fence, looking down towards an unfortunate snail on the grass below, the reverse with a smaller vignette of flowering bamboo sprouting from rocks and an insect in flight, 14.8cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceA J Smith CollectionGordon and Sue Guy-Jones CollectionSimon Spero exhibition 2012, no.8Ralph Kenber CollectionThere would appear to be four recorded examples of this exceptional vase. One from the Rous Lench Collection, later in the Sir Jeremy Lever and Crane Collections was sold by Bonhams, 7 March 2007, lot 21 and 31 March 2010, lot 60, respectively. The present lot being almost identical with the addition of a flying insect painted on the reverse. Two smaller examples are in the Ashmolean Museum, one illustrated by H Rissik Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.25, no.563. A matching water bottle and basin also from Rous Lench was gifted to the Museum of Royal Worcester. Three bell-shaped mugs with the same decoration are recorded, each inscribed on the base 'ExL 1754'. One of these from the Grant Dixon Collection was at Ampleforth Abbey. The second is in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the third is at Colonial Williamsburg. These mugs were instrumental in dating of early 'Scratch Cross' class and by association it is possible to confidently place the current lot around 1754.Although not painted with this pattern, a closely related vase, clearly painted by the same hand from the R David Butti Collection was sold by Bonhams, 10 May 2006, lot 33. In each case, the painting is very finely executed, with great care given to the detailing and composition.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very similar vase, possibly the pair to this lot, is in the H Rissik Marshall Collection and is illustrated in Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.13 no.233. The inspiration would appear to have been 1730s Meissen, an influence acknowledged by the use of kakiemon sprigs on the shoulder similar in taste to the 'indianische Blumen' sprigs used at Meissen.

Although clearly Japanese in style, the precise origin of this pattern remains unclear. A possible source is illustrated by R L Hobson, Worcester Porcelain (1910), pl.XXXIV where a close-up of the painting on a Japanese vase is shown alongside two Worcester pieces which appear to follow it very closely.
