Artist: Katrina SlackTitle: Kingfisher - The Skilful CatcherSize: 28 x 15 x 97(h) cmMedium: Baulk & Recycled MaterialsKatrina SlackI am a contemporary artist living in St Ives, Cornwall. I work in a huge range of mediums; oils, acrylics, mixed media, 3D and watercolours.I am inspired both by the natural landscapes around me and my concerns for the natural world. I love experimenting with different mediums. As well as painting I make large and small scale sculptures from found materials. I collect most of my materials for my sculptures from the beaches around St Ives which has been my home since 2002. I also work on collaboration projects with other artists and environmental organisations. DISCLAIMER: The Porthleven baulk/harbour defence wood is made (on the whole) of Douglas Fir Pine.

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Apulian, attributed to the Strotgen Painter, ca. 340 to 330 BCE. A masterful Apulian red-figure volute-krater (mixing bowl) attributed to the Strotgen Painter, the vase of a monumental scale, presenting an elegant form with extensive iconography and elaborate decoration (see extended description below), all expertly delineated in red-figure technique with additional fugitive white, orange, and red pigments. An exceptional and important work displaying mesmerizing artistry and the utmost technique. Size: 17.5" W at widest point x 31.5" H (44.4 cm x 80 cm) Refined vases like this volute krater were not merely utilitarian pottery, but rather works of art in their own right, highly prized throughout the classical world. Furthermore, virtually no ancient Greek paintings have survived the tests of time. This makes the painted compositions found on ceramic vessels like this example invaluable sources of information about ancient Greek visual art. Red figure pieces in particular allowed for the development of more naturalistic imagery than black figure examples. This innovative technique involved creating figures by delineating them in the natural red of the vase, making it possible for the painter to then enrich the figural forms with black lines to suggest volume, perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life. Beyond this, fugitive pigments made it possible for the artist to create additional layers of interest and detail. Side A of this volute krater features two figures delineated in added white pigment within a naiskos; the figure on the right sits upon a crimson mantle, and faces right; however his head is turned in three-quarter view, as he plays a kithara (a seven-string instrument of the lyre family) in the nude. Standing to his left is a youth, partially draped in an orange himation with cascading folds billowing over his physique, who leans upon a knobby staff. Surrounding this pair of figures and the naiskos are four offering bearers, three female and one male. Adorning the neck is a helmeted head, depicted in profile to the left, delineated in added white and orange, emerging from a stylized flower (or possibly patera) and flanked by a verdant surround of flowering sinuous vines, with a register of eight-petaled flowers above and a band of frets on the shoulder below. The volutes boast molded relief mascaroons in the form of frontal facing female heads with curly coiffures and gently smiling faces in added white, orange, and red pigments. Side B features four additional offering bearers, three male and one female, sitting and standing around a stele that is adorned with ivy vines on its base, a register of Greek key at the lower end, a ribbon at the center, and a cap of zigzags, striations, and trios of dots, with elaborate palmettes on the neck, framed by registers of wave, egg-and-dart, and laurel leaves above and a band of frets on the shoulder below. The volutes on this side present molded relief mascaroons in the form of frontal facing female heads of the same likeness as those on the obverse, though painted in black. Adding further interest to this impressive iconographic and decorative program are the elaborate palmettes beneath each handle and four plastic (completely in the round) swan heads emerging from the shoulders and flanking the handles - a pair of white swans above Side A, a pair of black swans above Side B, this black-and-white contrast (also seen in the mascaroons) perhaps symbolizing day and night, good and evil, or life and death. In the Classical world, the swan symbolized grace and beauty, and was oftentimes associated with love, poetry, and music - related particularly with lyres and instruments in the lyre family like the kathara featured on this piece. Furthermore, the swan was regarded as sacred to Aphrodite and Apollo. According to Greek mythology, sacred swans circled the island of Delos seven times when Apollo was born, because it was the seventh day of the month. Zeus showered his son with lavish gifts including a chariot drawn by swans and a lyre. Aphrodite also rode a chariot that is sometimes depicted pulled by swans, though oftentimes by doves, and she is commonly depicted riding a swan. Finally, in the story of Leda and the Swan, Zeus, assuming the form of a swan, famously seduced Leda. A remarkable vase of the so-called Ornate Style by the Strotgen Painter of an impressively grand scale, decorated with an ultra fine hand as well as in an elaborate manner with intriguing scenes and figures as well as a great deal of subsidiary ornament in added colors.

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Campanian, Cumae B, Nicholson Painter's workshop, ca. 325 to 320 BCE. A monumental calyx krater of a graceful form w/ finely executed red-figure compositions; Side A: two draped females surround and try to impress a seated elite male, holding a sceptor and donning a wreath; Side B: a pair of females, in Lady of Fashion style, flank an offering pedestal, one presents a wreath, the other a precious substance in a vessel. Size: 17.375" in diameter x 21.375" H (44.1 cm x 54.3 cm)Adding to the iconographical program are several characteristic decorative motifs including bands of wave and Greek key patterns, and beneath the rim, a graceful band of laurel leaves. Characteristic of Campanian wares, the terracotta is of a comparatively pale shade, and added/fugitive white and yellow pigments are used liberally to highlight jewelry, clothing, feet, handheld objects such as wreaths, and ribbons/details on the pedestal.Unlike in Athens, almost none of the potters and vase painters in Magna Graecia signed their work, thus the majority of names are modern designations. The Cumae designation emerged around the middle of the 4th century. Its founder is regarded as the CA Painter and there are three main stages, Cumae A, Cumae B, and Cumae C. The general understanding is that from 330 onwards, a strong Apulian influence grew more visible. This vase appears to fall into the Cumae B group, its iconographical programs and style most similar to the workshop of the Nicholson Painter. The work of this second generation of Cumaean vase painters continues the traditions established by the CA painter, but is profoundly impacted by the Apulianizing Group - the figures are delineated on an ampler scale and are not disposed at varying levels on the surfaces of the vase. Provenance: Ex- Collection of James Farmer, Maryland Condition: Two pieces reattached to the rim, foot repaired from approximately six pieces. Some re-painting just over the breaklines. Expected chips and areas of pigment loss as shown.

An enormous wheel-thrown pottery chalice with repeated black striations highlighting the shoulder and upper end of the flared foot and several panels of diagonal bands just beneath the rim, all against a buff ground.

Lot 68
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche III, ca. 400 CE. A burnished blackware/brownware vessel depicting a seated man with a naturalistic visage most likely representing a portrait of a particular individual, wearing a long poncho, elaborate headdress decorated with seashells at each end, and large round ear ornaments, holding a baby jaguar on his lap as if it were a placid kitty. Given the great contrast in scale between the figure and the jaguar, and the figure's highly decorated state, this gent probably represents a warrior or ruler of high status. Size: 7" L x 5" W x 7.25" H (17.8 cm x 12.7 cm x 18.4 cm)Intriguingly, Pre-Columbian mythology and art oftentimes reflects a close interaction between human and jaguar. The jaguar symbolized power and might throughout the Pre-Columbian world. Warriors, rulers, hunters, and shamans alike associated themselves with this king of beasts, the largest and most powerful feline in the New World. The principal Moche god wears a headdress adorned with a jaguar head and paws and important mortals donned similar headdresses. A nocturnal animal, the jaguar sleeps in caves and dark places and creeps quietly in the forest, evoking great mystery. Oddly enough, few Moche artists would have actually scene jaguars as they are not indigenous to the coast. Jaguars prefer moist forest conditions. However, scholars believe that some cubs were transported over the mountains for Moche rituals and it is also possible that some jaguars wandered down the coast. Provenance: Ex-Dan May collection, 1970's Condition: Expected surface wear commensurate with age. Tiny nick to one toe. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #120253
