A LARGE JAPANESE CLOISONNE ENAMEL PLAQUE IN THE STYLE OF ANDO JUBEI (1876-1953) MEIJI PERIOD, 19TH/20TH CENTURY Depicting a full moon on a dove-grey ground appearing from behind clouds, the scene subtly rendered in musen shippo (wireless) enamels, signed and with two red seal marks for Maruyama Okyo (1735-1795), the reverse with a pattern of V-shaped wires, 52cm x 36.6cm. Provenance: from the collection of Reverend Victor Farmer (1898-1977) and thence by descent. This large plaque features the complex technique of musen shippo or wireless cloisonn? enamels. Developed by the artist Namikawa Sosuke and his Shippo Kaisha studio in the late 1870s, the wireless technique allowed artists to create soft pictorial effects such as this diaphanous night scene. Many other artists, including those of Ando Jubei's studio, copied this style of cloisonn? by using a variety of methods. One approach was to temporarily attach the wires and remove them once the enamel powders had been applied before firing. Another method was to hide wires under subsequent layers, and a third was to dissolve the wires with sulfuric acid and fill the gaps with a final layer. In all cases the enamels had to be ground flat several times to create a smooth surface for the next layer to be applied; this would have been a time-consuming and painstaking process. Cloisonn? makers only rarely created grey monochromatic pieces and even fewer featured designs from Edo-period painters. Although this plaque doesn't bear a mark for the cloisonn? maker, it features the signature of the famous painter Maruyama Okyo (1735-1795). Okyo is commonly regarded as one of the greatest artists of 18th century Japan. Coming from a humble farming background, he made his way to Kyoto where he found work painting faces on dolls. Okyo then discovered optical devices featuring pictures with a European perspective, and from there grew his interest for Western paintings. His style developed to offer a unique marriage of Japanese aesthetics, traditional Chinese influence and Western naturalism. Okyo founded the influential Maruyama School of painting, encouraging his students to sketch from life, himself drawing nude figures in varying poses and superimposing clothes afterwards. His art grew enormously popular with the public and the Imperial court from which he would get many important commissions.

He is best known for his film work, spanning more than thirty years, from Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes to Star Wars and Superman. Prior to his being called up at the end of 1940, and then serving with the Royal Signal Corps, Beddoes had been working at the Windmill Theatre in London's West End. In an autobiographical made some written shortly before his death, Beddoes wrote: 'one night in 1940 I walked off the stage to become a stretcher-bearer in the blitz on London. Then I went into the army. I never went back into the profession.' In a letter to the Artist's Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Information, (dated 10 October 1940), Beddoes explains how he came to make these remarkable drawings: '… [I] submit to you the accompanying sketches in the hope that they might be of use as documentary evidence or, in any other way that you might think useful. I am a scenic designer, and happened to be watching the raid last Saturday afternoon from the roof of a building in Piccadilly Circus. I was able to make a quick sketch of the effects of fires caused by the bombs dropped on South London, and again, later in the evening I made two sketches with colour notes of the fire, and added the colour afterwards. Should the sketches be of any use to you, I should be pleased if you would accept them and perhaps any future sketches I may make when I join the army in the very near future.'In 1999 Maggs Bros., London, issued Catalogue 1271, in which they offered the Ivor Beddoes El Alamein archive of 108 works on paper and noted, in reference to Beddoes' blitz drawings, that 'sadly, the sketches of that raid were not accepted and their whereabouts are unknown'. A copy of this catalogue is included with the lot, with Bob Wyatt's added manuscript footnote indicating that he now has these blitz drawings in his collection. NB. ARR will not apply to this lot.
