FELICITY AYLIEFF (born 1955); ‘Summer Insects’, a tall porcelain bottle form with onglaze enamel transfers, inscribed signature, made in Jingdezhen, China, 2019, height 56.5cm, diameter 21cm.“This domestic scale piece reflects the feeling and atmosphere of the long, hot summers spent in Jingdezhen. The surface of the pot is alive with insects with brightly coloured enamel transfers made from both my drawings and sourced transfers. Working at this scale allows freedom to experiment with ideas and new possibilities." Condition Report: Appears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.
JAMES OUGHTIBRIDGE (born 1977); a near pair of small stoneware carved maquette forms in jet black and white clay, incised signatures dated 2021, tallest 16cm, widest 9cm (2).“For me, there are more possibilities with clay than with pencils, paper, paint. I find opportunities and reach conclusions in a three-dimensional practice that makes more sense to me and is an absolute joy in the process. These smaller carved forms inspire larger works, but their tactility and smaller scale make them desirable in themselves.” Condition Report: Appears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.

Melano, Artrust, Marianne Werefkin, I colori di un'anima in viaggio, 10 October - 10 December 2016.LiteratureN. Brögmann, Marianne Von Werefkin, Oeuvres peintes 1907-1936, exh. cat., Gingins, 1996, no. 68 (illustrated p. 96).Marianne Werefkin was one of the few extraordinary women working at the centre of Munich's avant-garde scene at the beginning of the twentieth century. Having grown up in the south of Moscow, receiving a full education, which included music, philosophy, languages, and drawing, she moved to St Petersburg at the age of 25, where she studied painting under Ilya Repin, the most famous of the Russian realist painters. Making connections with the Russian intelligentsia and holding her own salons at her residence, she shared news of the Parisian Impressionists, which she gleaned through her subscriptions of European art magazines. Influenced by her self-initiated exposure to international art, Werefkin diverged from the Russian aesthetic, boldly developing her identity as a cosmopolitan modernist. Indeed, at the age of 28, Werefkin told her father that she 'had never had any of the obsessions of the young society ladies' and was 'not afraid to be judged by society' (T. Malycheva, 'The Cosmopolitan Approach as a Constituent Aspect of Modernist Thought', in Marianne Werefkin and the Women Artists in her circle, Leiden, 2017, p. 71).In 1892, Repin introduced Werefkin to the painter Alexej von Jawlensky and the pair became romantically involved. Albeit an unconventional relationship - which navigated problems such as artistic rivalry and the birth of Jawlensky's son from his affair with his housekeeper, Hélène Nesnakomoff - it was an intense partnership that lasted eighteen years. Following the death of Werefkin's father in 1896, the couple moved to Munich, enabled by the artist receiving a generous pension from the Tsar as an orphaned daughter. A hub for intellectuals and known for artistic experimentation, Munich was the place where Werefkin could make her artistic mark.Werefkin and Jawlensky formed strong friendships with artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter and Werefkin continued her role as salon host for artistic friends at her Munich apartment. Aided by her linguistic skills (she spoke Russian, German, English, French, Polish, Lithuanian, and later Italian), she personally encouraged cultural exchange and helped ignite the direction of twentieth century modernism. It was in 1908 when Werefkin, Jawlensky, Münter and Kandinsky spent their first summer in Murnau, painting the Bavarian landscapes in the Expressionist style, which typically involved bold brushstrokes and flat planes of vivid colour. The four artists were founding members of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München or NKVM (New Artist's Association, Munich) in 1909, whose travelling exhibitions made them well known throughout Germany; Werefkin and Jawlensky were then involved and exhibited with the Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter but were not official members.As the present work shows, Werefkin yielded paintings of captivating graphic power and daring colours. She created a distinctive style by assimilating the 'surface painting' of Paul Gauguin and Louis Anquetin with the ideals of the Expressionist group, which included a desire to convey spiritual truths through their art. Werefkin used planar division to create rhythmic compositions, enhanced by intricate details, which her Expressionist counterparts sought to reduce. In addition to being a prominent exponent of Expressionism therefore, Werefkin's art also belongs to a tradition of figurative symbolism, as she depicted anonymous people to evoke an emotion or mood.Werefkin's paintings often include sweeping landscapes with small figures going about their daily activities, sharing rueful moments of solidarity. The present work depicts the small town of Kaunas in Lithuania, where the artist spent the winter of 1909 and the spring of 1910, visiting her brother Peter who was governor of the town. Similar to Werefkin's powerful work The Black Women (1910), housed at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, Grüner Berg (Kaunas) is filled with keen observation and sympathy for the local people, who are returning home after a hard day's work, descending the wide road from the hills. The use of tempera and pen and ink reveals Werefkin's close study of works by Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Edvard Munch and the influence of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints.Grüner Berg (Kaunas) is a wonderfully meditative painting, one that inspires quietude and reflection. Spiritual and religious sentiments occupy a special place in Werefkin's oeuvre, as she strove to convey human states such as loneliness, suffering, reconciliation, and mortality. By making the local people of Kaunas so small in scale compared to the vast landscape, the viewer is prompted to question humanity's significance in our world. In the artist's diaries, written during the early 1900s, she highlights the frailty of life and her fear of death: 'I see an open skull, filled with limited thoughts. I see a life path common to all and an inevitable end - death. I am afraid of every feeling, every ecstasy, anticipating a terrible, dubious end in them. The great aspirations of mankind end again and again in a fall with broken wings. Oh, then I close my eyes, I don't want to see, hear anything, I don't want to love [...] Only artistic creation is infinite, limitless...' (M. Werefkin, Pis'ma k neizvestnomu, Moscow, 2011, p. 193). While the Expressionist movement had always been defined by a form of social awareness, Werefkin's work expresses the human concerns more clearly. Her writings demonstrate her fascinating insights and critical mind, which she innovatively harnessed to create her unique visual language.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
