Desmond Carrick RHA (1928-2012) BRIDGE AT TWILIGHT watercolour signed `Carraig` lower left; titled on artist`s label on reverse The Artist`s Estate Desmond Carrick was elected a member of the RHA in 1968 and became one of the institution`s most eminent and active members. For forty-four years his paintings were a familiar sight on the academy walls, particularly during the annual exhibitions. His role as secretary for the academy in the late 1970s saw his skills as an administrator come to the fore and he played a crucial role in facilitating the transformation of the old academy site into the modern space it is today. He sat on various academy committees and was central to the process of electing new members, as well as the coordination of the annual show, in which he exhibited since 1951. Carrick`s journey towards becoming an artist was gradual. He followed in his father`s footsteps with a career in the Guinness brewery from 1945 but pursued his interest in art through classes at NCAD where Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal (both past presidents of the RHA) were his tutors. He won the coveted Taylor Scholarship in 1956; a prize which facilitated a trip to Spain and ignited a lifelong passion for light and colour. Often in the company of fellow academian James Nolan, he would continue this pursuit in weekend trips around Dublin and to the West of Ireland and later with regular trips to Spain and France. While continuing to work in Guinness (he remained with the brewery until 1977) his talents as an artist were recognised. Bryan Guinness, later Lord Moyne, director of the brewing company, became a patron and he was commissioned to paint a large mural depicting the brewing process for the company`s visitor centre in 1958. In the late 1950s Carrick designed and constructed his own home and studio at Killakee. He married Deirdre Mellett in 1967 and together they enjoyed life in the picturesque surroundings of the Dublin Mountains. After his retirement from Guinness, the couple spent part of the year abroad in Southern Spain and in France. Much of the work painted on these sojourns was later submitted for exhibition in the RHA annual show or in various exhibitions with the Dublin Painters Gallery, Ritchie Hendriks Gallery, IELA, Oireachtas among others. In 2009 Gandon editions published a profusely illustrated text on Carrick`s life and career, The Lie of the Land. This brought to light his journey and celebrated the diversity of his skills as an artist in oil, watercolour, sculpture and stained glass. 9½ x 12¾in. (24.13 x 32.39cm)

He followed in his father`s footsteps with a career in the Guinness brewery from 1945 but pursued his interest in art through classes at NCAD where Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal (both past presidents of the RHA) were his tutors. He won the coveted Taylor Scholarship in 1956; a prize which facilitated a trip to Spain and ignited a lifelong passion for light and colour. Often in the company of fellow academian James Nolan, he would continue this pursuit in weekend trips around Dublin and to the West of Ireland and later with regular trips to Spain and France. While continuing to work in Guinness (he remained with the brewery until 1977) his talents as an artist were recognised. Bryan Guinness, later Lord Moyne, director of the brewing company, became a patron and he was commissioned to paint a large mural depicting the brewing process for the company`s visitor centre in 1958. In the late 1950s Carrick designed and constructed his own home and studio at Killakee. He married Deirdre Mellett in 1967 and together they enjoyed life in the picturesque surroundings of the Dublin Mountains. After his retirement from Guinness, the couple spent part of the year abroad in Southern Spain and in France. Much of the work painted on these sojourns was later submitted for exhibition in the RHA annual show or in various exhibitions with the Dublin Painters Gallery, Ritchie Hendriks Gallery, IELA, Oireachtas among others. In 2009 Gandon editions published a profusely illustrated text on Carrick`s life and career, The Lie of the Land.

Ausdrucksstarke frühe Arbeit Lechners, in gewohnt minimalistischer Formensprache.`Den ersten Eindruck, den die meisten der auf abstrakt-geometrische Grundformen und Körper reduzierten Arbeiten von Alf Lechner auslösen, ist der einer konsequent durchgehaltenen Einfachheit. Es wäre allerdings ein folgenschweres Mißverständnis, diese als vordergründige Simplizität zu etikettieren. Als Arbeitsprinzip in Lechners Entwicklung als Bildhauer, der von Anfang an abstrakt gearbeitet hat, durchgehend nachvollziehbar, gründet Einfachheit in einer geistigen Haltung, die in ihr zugleich ein Erkenntnisprinzip sieht. `Mein ganzes Lebensziel ist Einfachheit`, sagt Lechner. `In der Einfachheit steckt so viel Kompliziertes, daß man gar nicht einfach genug sein kann. Wirkliche Entdeckungen macht man ja nur in den einfachsten Formen. Je überladener eine Form ist, desto weniger sieht man das Wesentliche.`` (Bernd Storz, in: Alf Lechner - Ereignisskulpturen, Hans Thoma-Gesellschaft - Kunstverein Reutlingen, Reutlingen 1993, o.

Horst Antes 1936 Heppenheim - lebt und arbeitet in Sicellino, Wolfartsweier und BerlinFigur 1000. 1987.Skulptur. Stahl mit natürlicher Rostpatina und gravierter Zeichnung, auf Bodenplatte geschweißt. Nicht mehr bei Lutze. Auf der Bodenplatte mit der gestempelten Nummerierung. Ein Exemplar von 1.000. Ca. 220 x 90 x 57 cm (86,6 x 35,4 x 22,4 in). Erschienen in der Edition Volker Huber, Offenbach/Main. [SM].Etwa zeitgleich mit dem ab 1963 entwickelten Motiv des Kopffüßlers im Werk von Horst Antes entstehen auch die ersten Metallplastiken. Sie sind seinem malerischen ?uvre formal und inhaltlich sehr nahe; ebenso wie seine Gemälde und grafischen Arbeiten stellen sie zumeist Köpfe, teils mit Gliedmaßen, dar. Auch die wie zufällig wirkende, anscheinend nur dem Material geschuldete Farbigkeit des rostigen Metalls findet ihre Entsprechung in einigen früh entstandenen Kopfgemälden. Das Rostbraun, das nach dem ersten Korrosionsprozess farblich konstant bleibt, ist daher im Sinne des Künstlers als eigenständige, bewusst gewählte Farbe des Objekts zu werten. ca. 12.56 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONHorst Antes 1936 Heppenheim - lebt und arbeitet in Sicellino, Wolfartsweier und BerlinFigur 1000. 1987.Sculpture.
