John Constable R.A. (East Bergholt 1776-1837 London)East Bergholt Church, the south porch pencil and watercolour on laid paper27 x 19.7cm (10 5/8 x 7 3/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection of H.W. UnderdownProbably Sale, Sotheby's, London, 10 December 1925, lot 95With Leggatt Brothers, LondonWith Gerald M. Norman Gallery, 1971, by whom sold to Alfred Essex for £315Private Collection, UKLiteratureG. Reynolds, The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, New Haven and London, 1996, p.65, cat. no. 05.32, ill. pl. 271The village of East Bergholt where Constable grew up provided material for many of his early works. His family home, East Bergholt House, was almost next door to St Mary's Church and the church was the subject of a number of sketches and paintings done in his early years. An oil sketch of the South porch and cupola taken from the same angle, of around 1810, is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (138 - 1888) and a related, finished oil painting now at Tate, London (N 01245) was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1810, no. 116 - one of Constable's earliest exhibited canvases.Apart from the attachment Constable will have felt to East Bergholt Church, his representation of a churchyard is linked to a tradition of churchyard imagery that goes back to Thomas Gray's 'Elegy written in a country churchyard' published in 1751, a poem that Constable himself was to illustrate later in his career. In the present study the pencil outlines describe in detail the cupola and the tracery on the gabled South front, while broad watercolour washes fill in the shadows on the masonry, the trees on the left and the sky with its billowing clouds giving it all the immediacy of an on-the-spot sketch.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Schlenker, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky 1906-1996, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, New York, 2009, p. 342, no. 198E. Michel, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky 1906-1996, 2003, p. 82(2)Doubtless inspired by a ferry crossing to the continent taken some time in 1963, in the present work Motesiczky portrays two women seated in high-backed red armchairs deep in conversation. The two travelling companions are strikingly different in their appearance; one blonde, blue eyed wearing light clothes of orange and yellow, whilst the other, who dominates the foreground, wears a deep blue robe with shiny dark hair.The pair are framed by a large porthole, indicating that the setting is on board a ship. In the background is the calm, light blue sea set against the setting sunset. Their surroundings are made clearer in the accompanying drawing, most likely executed on board the ship, that is included in this lot. In the sketch some details are more defined such as the fruit on the table, whilst other details are omitted in the final painting, including the light blue shawl of the brunette. Although the exact date of the painting is unknown, according to Schlenker, several facts attribute it to the early 1960s, including the contemporary hairstyles of the ladies. Writing to Elias Canetti, her lover of many years, Marie-Louise wrote of this boat journey that she 'saw wonderful things on deck… there the people really look the way I would love to have them in a portrait.' (J. Lloyd, The Undiscovered Expressionist, London, 2007, p. 181). Indeed, the soft-featured face of the blonde woman shares striking similarities with Iris Murdoch, an author and lifelong friend whose portrait Motesiczky would complete the following year. Selected Works from the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust Motesiczky’s expressive and very painterly style had been formed before the Second World War, in large part influenced and encouraged by Max Beckmann. On first being introduced to Beckmann in 1920 she recalled: ‘A winged creature from Mars could not have made a greater impact on me’. Once in Britain it was Oskar Kokoschka, a family friend from Vienna now similarly exiled, who helped champion her work. Thereafter, and very much on a personal level, it was the writer Elias Canetti (1905-1994) a fellow émigré who exercised a major influence over her artistic output. Marie-Louise von Motesiczky grew up with her parents and her brother Karl in central Vienna. Her mother Henriette came from an illustrious Viennese Jewish banking dynasty. Her maternal grandfather, Leopold von Lieben, was President of the Stock Exchange; her grandmother, Anna, one of Freud’s early patients. She counted the Todescos, and Ephrussis among her family circle, and she, her mother and her brother Karl spent their summers at Villa Todesco in Hinterbrühl, south west of the capital. But over time family tragedy, financial difficulties and the rise of Nazi Germany took their toll. Marie-Louise’s father died at the end of 1909 and after the First World War her mother’s considerable inheritance gradually diminished through high taxation, poor investments, and the financial crash of 1929. Then, with the rise of the Third Reich and the Anschluss in March 1938, when Austria was annexed by Germany, she and her mother fled Vienna for the Netherlands before emigrating to England in 1939. Further distress followed when her brother Karl, who had remained in Austria, was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, dying of typhus there on 25 June 1943. On Motesiczky’s arrival in London Kokoschka ensured her inclusion in a series of group exhibitions, and assisted her in the staging of a solo exhibition at the Czechoslovak Institute in the autumn of 1944. Further group shows followed, and in 1960 she had a second solo exhibition at the influential Beaux Arts Gallery off Bond Street. On the Continent she received acclaim for her work in exhibitions in Amsterdam and The Hague in 1952, one of her canvases being purchased by the Stedelijk Museum. The same decade she exhibited in Munich and Düsseldorf, and in the 1960s was the subject of shows in Germany and Austria, including a one-person exhibition at the Wiener Secession in 1966. In 1985, a full twenty-five years after her work had been shown at the Beaux Arts Gallery, she was the subject of another solo exhibition in London, at the Goethe-Institut, which was widely acclaimed in the press. In 1994 a major retrospective of her work was held in Vienna at the Österreichische Galerie, Oberes Belvedere and in Manchester at the City Art Gallery. In 2006-07 her work was celebrated in a centenary exhibition at Tate Liverpool, travelling to Frankfurt, Vienna, Passau and Southampton City Art Gallery. Also in 2007 Jill Lloyd’s biography of Marie-Louise appeared: The Undiscovered Expressionist. A Life of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky, followed in 2009 by the catalogue raisonné of her paintings by Ines Schlenker itemising over 350 works. Most recently in 2019-20, Tate Britain held an exhibition devoted to her to inaugurate the gallery named in perpetuity as the ‘Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Archive Gallery’ for all future displays of Tate’s archive holdings in general. The work of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky held in public collections Institutions in the UK holding works by the artist include: the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, the British Museum, Burgh House, Hampstead, Freud Museum, Garden Museum, National Portrait Gallery and Tate in London (which also holds her archive); the Amersham Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester, Manchester Art Gallery, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh and the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow. Elsewhere her work is in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin; the Stedelijk, Amsterdam; the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam; the Städel Museum, Frankfurt; the German Literary Archive in Marbach; the Albertina, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, the Leopold Museum and the Museum Wien in Vienna; the Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz and the Stanley Museum, University of Iowa, USA.
