EDWARD ATKINSON HORNEL (SCOTTISH 1864 - 1933), BURMESE DANCING GIRLS oil on canvas laid down on panel 56cm x 23cm Framed and under glass. Provenance: Sotheby's, Scottish Silver and Jewels, Scottish and Sporting Paintings, Drawings and Watercolours. Gleneagles, Monday 25th August and 26th August, 1986 Lot 882. Deceased estate. Note: Hornel was born in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria Australia, on 17 July 1864 of Scottish parents, and he was brought up and lived practically all his life in Scotland after his family moved back to Kirkcudbright in 1866. He studied for three years at the art school at Edinburgh, and for two years at Antwerp under Professor Verlat. Returning from Antwerp in 1885, he met George Henry and associated himself with the Glasgow Boys. Hornel and Henry collaborated upon The Druids Bringing in the Mistletoe (1890), a procession of druidic priests bringing in the sacred mistletoe, gorgeous with polychrome and gold. The two worked side by side to achieve decorative splendour of colour, Hornel boldly and freely employing texture effects produced by loading and scraping, roughening, smoothing, and staining. In 1893–94 the two artists spent a year and a half in Japan, where Hornel learned much about decorative design and spacing. Towards the close of the nineties his colours, while preserving their glow and richness, became more refined and more Verlat atmospheric, and his drawing more naturalistic, combining sensuous appeal with emotional and poetic significance. In 1901 he declined election to the Royal Scottish Academy. A member of Glasgow Art Club, Hornel exhibited in the club's annual exhibitions.In 1901 he acquired Broughton House, a townhouse and garden in Kirkcudbright, which was his main residence for the rest of his life with his sister Elizabeth. There he made several modifications to the house and designed garden taking inspiration from his travels in Japan. he also made an addition of a gallery for his paintings. On his death the house and library were donated for the benefit of the citizens of Kirkcudbright and Broughton House is now administered by the National Trust for Scotland.183 examples of Hornel's work are held in UK public collections and an unknown number in major museums around the world, including in the USA and Canada.

Provenance: Acquired by the current vendor May 18th 1972. Private Scottish collection. Note: James Kay (22 October 1858 - 26 September 1942) was a Scottish painter who achieved significant critical acclaim and commercial success in Scotland and in Europe. Born on the Isle of Arran Kay spent much of his working life with a studio in Glasgow and living at Portincaple on Loch Long in Argyll. He was elected to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW) in 1906 and to the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in 1938. Primarily a landscape artist, Kay is best known for his portrayals of "the glory of the busy shipping reaches of the Clyde".

He exhibited at the Salon in Paris in 1894, and at the 1895 La Libre Esthetique in Brussells was awarded an honourable mention. In 1903 his painting Toil and Grime was awarded the silver medal at the Societe des Amis des Arts in Rouen, while another work, River of the North , won the gold medal at the Paris Salon.

* PIERRE DE CLAUSADE (FRENCH 1910 - 1976), PEACE OF THE INFINITE oil on canvas, signed 50cm x 100cm Framed. Note: Born in Paris on April 15, 1910 Pierre de Clausade’s formal education in architecture is evident throughout the body of work he produced until his death in 1976. After attending the Beaux-Arts Academy in Paris, he began endless experiments in an effort to develop an entirely personal method of expression. Clausade took his cue from the Cubists, with their simplified form and the Art Nouveau themes of order and harmony with monochromatic style and made it his own. His objective was to develop a style that was unique, but with which he was comfortable. After trials and failures lasting several years, he finally held his first exhibition at the 1941 Paris Salon where he was awarded a Silver medal. Thereafter he began exhibiting regularly at the Societe des Beaux Arts. In 1945, he was accepted as a member of the Salon d´Hiver and with the continued success of his Salon exhibitions, Clausade began receiving invitations to exhibit worldwide. In January 1953 he was awarded the Medaille d’ Argent by the jury of the Paris Salon. He died in 1976 and with him passed one of the most dramatic and striking individual expressions of art.
