§ Brian Hagger (British 1935-2006) Tyne Main Cole, Seagrave Roadsigned and dated 'BRIAN HAGGER 1972' (lower right)oil on canvas51 x 76.5cmProvenance:With Thackeray Gallery, London, where purchased by the present vendor 11th April, 1972A painter and draughtsman of urban and industrial scenes, Brian Hagger was born in Bury St Edmunds in 1935. After training at Ipswich School of Art and the Royal College of Art, under tutors including Colin Moss, Pif Fortin, Carel Weight, Ruskin Spear and Ceri Richards, Hagger became the studio assistant to William Scott and exhibited his work in numerous exhibitions in Piccadilly and the Kings Road. In London, Hagger enjoyed considerable critical success, holding numerous solo exhibitions at the Bramante Galleries and Thackery Gallery and he exhibited with the Royal Academy throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Typical of Hagger’s work both in style and subject, the present lots demonstrate Hagger’s atmospheric and characteristically restrained and atmospherically tempered palette, punctuated by unexpected flashes of colour. Describing his practice, Hagger wrote, ‘I have always been interested in Urban landscape and seascape. This has been the subject matter of my work for most of my life… although almost photographic in concept I try to base them on sound principle of abstract design. An important part of the paintings are the figures which are stylised and simplified to suit the painting in question’.

Constantinos Volanakis (Greek, 1837-1907)L'artiste regarde la mer signé en grec deux fois (en bas à gauche)huile sur toile68 x 96cm (26 3/4 x 37 13/16in).signed in Greek twice (lower left)oil on canvasFootnotes:ProvenanceKallimassioti family, Piraeus.Private collection, Athens.LittératureS. Lydakis, Constantinos Volanakis, Adam editions, Athens 1997, p. 111 (illustrated).The great spectacle of the open sea, the absolute stillness of the hour, the mellow warmth of the atmosphere and the overall poetry of the scene are contemplated by a genteel, solitary male figure with hat and walking cane, portrayed next to caiques hauled ashore and fishermen mending their nets. (Compare The Piraeus harbour from the royal pier, Municipal Gallery of Piraeus, and Coast of Phaleron, Collection of the Bank of Greece, Athens). Enchanted and transfixed, with his back to the viewer, the hatted gentleman has interrupted his coastal stroll to enjoy the view, indirectly inviting whoever stands in front of the work to imitate him by turning their gaze towards the sea. In this way, he acts as a 'host', an intermediary between the painted scene and the viewer, suggesting the way the picture should be admired as an object of beauty and value.As noted by Professor M. Vlachos, there are two conjectures regarding the identity of the solitary male figure portrayed in a number of Volanakis's costal and harbour views.1 According to the first one, he is possibly an affluent ship-owner or merchant, a resident of Piraeus and prominent member of the shipping community that contributed to the city's prosperity and from which Volanakis had received a number of commissions. The second interpretation is that the hatted man is the artist himself, a view that according to legendary collector Euripides Koutlides (1890-1974) has always been quite popular among collectors and connoisseurs. It should be noted that the Rückenfigur—figure seen from behind—harkens back to antiquity and it traverses European iconography, especially during the Renaissance, as an artist's self-portrait. It is also a recurrent theme featured in a variety of ways by many 19th c. artists, mainly Caspar David Friedrich and Gustave Courbet, whose work Volanakis was acquainted with.Here, the soft gradations of light and shade, the unity of effect, the sense of space and the loving delicacy with which Volanakis observed every nuance of the seascape and cloudscape are the artist's means of conveying a feeling of peace and expressing his view of the transience of life. 'His romantic soul seeks inner peace in the beauty of a dream world full of light and colour, where reverie is a kind of prayer,'2 inspiring the viewer to adopt a dreamlike attitude towards life. 1. See M. Vlachos, 'The Viewer as Intermediary in Volanakis' Paintings' in Constantinos Volanakis 1837-1907, Poet of the Sea, exh. cat., Hellenic Maritime Museum / Aikaterini Laskaridi Foundation, Athens 2009, p. 52.

Constantinos Volanakis (Greek, 1837-1907)Pêcheurs ramassant les filets signé en grec (en bas à gauche)huile sur toile48 x 86.5cm (18 7/8 x 34 1/16in).signed in Greek (lower left)oil on canvasFootnotes:LittératureS. Lydakis, Constantinos Volanakis, Adam editions, Athens 1997, pp. 124-125 (illustrated).A brilliant evocation of a serene Mediterranean seascape, Hauling in the nets displays the hallmarks of Volanakis's finest oils from his Greek period (1884-1907): virtuoso brushwork, immediacy of execution, sensitive colour, harmony of proportion, and precision of detail (note the masterly handling of the distant sailing vessels peacefully floating on calm waters.) Particularly remarkable is the sense of open space, a grandiose spread of sea and skyscape perceived from a very low viewpoint in the vein of the 17th century Dutch masters and animated by subtle but radiant lighting that lends a lyrical resonance to the work. The sidelong depiction of the fishing boat that intersects with the diagonal defined by the floating net corks draws the eye to the human activity inside the two boats. As in many of his most characteristic works, Volanakis selected the subject of the fishing boat to exploit its romantic elements rather than to portray toil and struggle. As noted by M. Vlachos, who wrote the artist's monograph, Volanakis was in constant communion with nature, in a composite relationship from which poetry emerges. Especially his love for and familiarity with small vessels produced works of pure lyricism.11 See M. Vlachos, The Painter Constantinos Volanakis (1837-1907), Athens 1974, pp. 109-122.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
