Abdulrahim Apabhai Almelkar (1920-1982)Hut signed 'Almelkar 64' in Devanagiri lower leftoil on canvas, framed38.7 x 45.2cm (15 1/4 x 17 13/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, UK.Acquired from a charity shop in Windsor in the early 1990s.'A.A. Almelkar (1920 - 1982), not directly related to the revivalist movement at [Bombay's Sir] J.J. [School of Art], was friendly with artists from the Progressive Artists' Group. But he was obsessed with Indian miniatures along with tribal and folk traditions. His paintings after 1952, are truly Indian in character and full of rhythm, enhanced by a rich texture and the graceful serpentine black line, encompassing various forms into a coherent whole.'- Excerpt from S. Bahulkar and D. Ghare, Artists of the Bombay SchoolAlmelkar was a contemporary of the Bombay Progressive Artists and graduated in 1948 from the Sir J.J. School of Art. Heavily influenced by the impressionist inclinations of his fellow artists, Walter Langhammer and N.S Bendre, he began as a landscape painter, before shifting his focus towards depicting rural Indian life, an example of which can be seen in Hut. Here, as in many other works he has combined techniques from western art such as thick impasto, with Indian folk art to create a unique visual language. The hut dominates the canvas, and is devoid of humans. The two water vessels to the bottom left are the only other objects that populate the composition, indicating that the hut is a living organism. The sophisticated and muted colour palette employed by Almelkar consists of the earthy greens, browns and whites and enhances the tranquillity of the scene. These colours are applied in blocks, and then worked on using both his brush and fingers to give the work a textural quality. Given his artistic prowess it is unsurprising to learn that he held over 40 solo exhibitions in Asia and was the recipient of the 1955, 1956 and 1960 awards at the Art Society of India and the Lalit Kala Academy respectively. Moreover, he was awarded 20 gold and 24 silver medals, which is testament to his contribution to the art scene.To see a similar work from 1965 sold at Sotheby's, see Modern & Contemporary South Asian Art, 10th September 2012, lot 50.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Mansur Aye (1941-2008)Untitled (Moon faced girls) signed and dated 'Mansur Aye 06' lower leftacrylic on canvas, framed61.2 x 61.2cm (24 1/8 x 24 1/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, USA.Acquired from the artist in the late 2000s.'In the late sixties, Mansoor Aye expressed a mood of pensive pleasure in life. The themes of his paintings were innocence, love and the beauty of youth, personified by a young girl, the moon and the moonlit night. His love-stricken dove-eyed girls were envisioned to bring back to the viewer, cherished moments of youth. He says: 'To my mind the greatest miracle is the miracle of life, my work is a tribute to its few wondrous moments.' He tries to convey to us the inner sentiments of young lovers in a state of contemplation. Many of his canvases were thus odes to the joyful poetry of 'murmuring love' and 'throbbing hearts.'The loneliness of Mansoor's oval-faced lovers in these paintings is complemented by the loneliness of the round moon, which with its perennial presence moodily showers its silver light on the lovers. These moon-faced girls gaze at the moon and the moon tenderly gazes back at them.'

Marriott had previously been known as an illustrator of children's books, and in 1954 married Fleming's literary advisor and a director at Cape, Michael Howard, who drew the author's attention to her work.'Marriott was already well known as a book illustrator, and... she had shown a clear awareness of how the illustration should complement the words... This is true of Diamonds Are Forever, where she draws a woman's partially obscured face, chin down, with a diamond hanging over her cleavage but without showing the cleavage itself, and yet in its simplicity, and remembering this is mid-fifties Britain, absolutely suggestive of what can be found in the pages within.
