The present pencil sketch is a preliminary drawing for the ink and wash painting "Chesil Beach" which now hangs in the collecton at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge. Vellacott referred to these drawings as her "inkwash drawings". Condition is fine.

Roy Frederick Carnon, born in England in 1911, grew up in Isleworth, London, briefly attending art school in Chiswick. He became an illustrator, working mainly for advertising agencies. During the Second World War, he continued to sketch even when working as a fireman during the London Blitz. He subsequently joined the RAF ground crew and was dispatched to Africa, India and the Far East. After returning to civilian life, Carnon continued to work in advertising, as well as producing book covers and jackets, particularly for Corgi Books. In 1965, Carnon joined the team responsible for visualising space craft and film sets for 2001: A Space Odyssey. After his first foray into the movie business, Carnon worked on other films including the Bond movies, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Return of the Jedi. In addition to all his film work, Roy Carnon was a prolific and unusually versatile painter. He had the ability to turn from set design to portraits, from technical drawing to lively figure drawing, sketches and landscapes. Some of his film artwork is in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Unframed and colours are good.

He envisaged a moveable theatre with floor and roof composed of cubic columns which could move up and down individually, an ever-changing space using screens and lighting to create mood and setting rather than standard set designs. In this work he attempted to portray changing scenes using developing states of prints, each one depicting a moment of arrested motion. His son, Teddy Craig, realised the idea behind the plates and, trying to help his father, built a simple wooden model with rising and falling cubes using pulleys. At first Craig was thrilled that his idea actually worked but when Teddy mentioned that he had discussed the scheme with an engineering friend his father was furious, imagining his great idea was lost and accusing Teddy of betrayal. The model was banished to the cellar and never developed.
