Cuno Amiet 1868 Solothurn - 1961 Oschwand Postkarte – Skifahrer. 1907. Tuschzeichnung. Im unteren Rand signiert und bezeichnet 'Herzliche Glückwünsche'. Auf einer Blanko-Postkarte. 14,1 x 9 cm (5,5 x 3,5 in). Postkarte aus Oschwand an Prof. Dr. Ganter, Poststempel vom 1.1.1907. Das Werk ist unter der Nummer SHG 881a in der Sammlung Hermann Gerlinger registriert. [SM]. • Humorvolle und treffsichere persönliche Glückwunschkarte des Künstlers an einen wichtigen Förderer der schweizerischen Moderne. • Das Medium der Postkarte hat sich zum eigenständigen Genre in der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt. • Gekonnt eingefangene Winterszene in pointillistischer Manier. PROVENIENZ: Prof. Dr. Heinrich Ganter (1848–1915), Aarau (seit 1907). Sammlung Hermann Gerlinger, Würzburg (mit dem Sammlerstempel Lugt 6032, seit 2010: Villa Grisebach). AUSSTELLUNG: Buchheim Museum, Bernried (Dauerleihgabe aus der Sammlung Hermann Gerlinger, 2017-2022). LITERATUR: Villa Grisebach, Berlin, 28.11.2010, Los 601. Die Postkarte wird vor allem für die 'Brücke'-Künstler zum Kunstwerk im Kleinformat. Es ist erstaunlich, in welch regem Austausch die aktiven Mitglieder der Künstlergemeinschaft per Postkarte stehen. Die Postkarten werden auch genutzt, um kurzfristige Angelegenheiten zu besprechen. Anders als heute wurde die Post Anfang des 20. Jarhunderts noch mehrmals am Tag zugestellt. Die künstlerisch gestaltete Postkarte wird ebenfalls dazu genutzt, um mit Förderern und Sammlern in Kontakt zu bleiben. Gestaltet mit Zeichnungen, Aquarellen und Holzschnitten sowie versehen mit kurzen Nachrichten und Grüßen werden sie zu einer besonderen Facette im Schaffen der Künstler, die dokumentarischen Wert und künstlerische Originalität verbinden. Zum Jahreswechsel schickt Cuno Amiet dem wichtigen Förderer Prof. Ganter Neujahrsgrüsse, passend zum Anlass mit winterlichem Motiv. Der Wintersport ist fest mit der Schweiz verbunden. Auch Cuno Amiet war leidenschaftlicher Skifahrer und verbringt den Jahreswechsel mit Familie und Freunden oft in den Bergen. Die Gestaltung der Postkarte besticht neben dem anekdotischen Aspekt der launig eingefangenen Szene eines fröhlichen Wintertages zudem durch den gekonnten Einsatz pointillistischer Stilmittel, ohne dabei mit Farbe zu arbeiten. Amiet ist fasziniert von den Graphismen der Skispuren im Schnee, die die weitläufige weiße Welt der verschneiten Landschaft durchschneiden. [SM] Aufrufzeit: 10.12.2022 - ca. 17.20 h +/- 20 Min. Dieses Objekt wird regel- oder differenzbesteuert angeboten, Folgerechtsvergütung fällt an.ENGLISH VERSIONCuno Amiet 1868 Solothurn - 1961 Oschwand Postkarte – Skifahrer. 1907. India ink drawing. Signed and inscribed 'Herzliche Glückwünsche' in bottom margin. On a blank postcard. 14.1 x 9 cm (5.5 x 3.5 in). Postcard sent from Oschwand to Prof. Dr. Ganter, postage stamp dated January 1, 1907. The work is registered in the Collection Hermann Gerlinger with the number SHG 881. [SM]. • Humorous and unerring personal greeting card to one of the most significant patrons of Swiss Modernism. • Within 20th Century Art, the postcard became established as an independent genre. • Winter scene ably captured in pointillist manner. PROVENANCE: Prof. Dr. Heinrich Ganter (1848-1915), Aarau (since 1907). Collection Hermann Gerlinger, Würzburg (with the collector's stamp Lugt 6032, since 2010: Villa Grisebach). EXHIBITION: Buchheim Museum, Bernried (permanent loan from the Collection Hermann Gerlinger, 2017-2022). LITERATURE: Villa Grisebach, Berlin, November 28, 2010, lot 601. The postcard became a work of art in small format, especially for the 'Brücke' artists. It is astonishing to see how active members of the artist group used to communicate with postcards. They also used them to discuss short-term matters. Unlike today, mail was delivered several times a day at the beginning of the 20th century. The artistically designed postcard was also used to keep in touch with patrons and collectors. Adorned with drawings, watercolors and woodcuts, and accompanied by short messages and greetings, they became a special aspect of the artists' work with both a documentary value and artistic originality. At the turn of the year, Cuno Amiet sent New Year's greetings with a fitting winter motif to the important patron Prof. Ganter. Switzerland was one of the main countries for winter sports and Cuno Amiet was also a passionate skier and often spent the holidays with family and friends in the mountains. In addition to the anecdotal aspect, the design of the postcard captivates with the whimsically captured scene of a happy winter day, through the skillful use of pointillist stylistic devices without using color. Amiet was fascinated by the graphisms of the ski tracks in the snow that cut through the vast white worlds of the snowy landscapes. [SM] Called up: December 10, 2022 - ca. 17.20 h +/- 20 min. This lot can be purchased subject to differential or regular taxation, artist´s resale right compensation is due.

He was a newspaper man through and through.After leaving school he enlisted in the 1st Battalion Devonshire Regiment and saw service in the Far East between 1944 and 1947, rising to the rank of captain.He was extremely proud of his association with the now-disbanded regiment and greatly mourned its passing, going so far as to name his previous home in Farnham Devonshire House in its honour.Sir Ray made the Surrey town his home in the 1960s and made such an impact in the following 50 years that he was known by locals as Mr Farnham. If a charity or organisation needed help, Sir Ray was there. He eventually stepped down as Chairman of Tindle Newspapers when he was 90, remaining as president, with son Owen, who runs the Oxon Hoath Retreat and Conference Centre in Kent, taking over as Chairman.After returning to the UK after the War,Sir Ray acquired his first newspaper title, the Tooting & Balham Gazette, with his £300 demob payment. It was to be the first of many and, over the years through a series of launches and acquisitions, the group grew to a considerable force under the collective banner of Tindle Newspapers Ltd. It now owns local papers and radio stations covering large parts of Surrey, Hampshire, Essex, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man. Many of these papers are very long established, including the Monmouthshire Beacon founded in 1837.Others were launched in Queen Victorias reign, such as the Farnham Herald (1892), Cambrian News (1860), Cornish & Devon Post (1856), Mid-Devon Advertiser (1863) and the Tenby Observer (1853).The Tindle Group became the fourth largest UK local newspaper group by number of titles published.Sir Ray was a man of immense self-belief and iron determination, as characterised by his coat of arms, carried by all his newspapers, with the Latin motto Noli Cedere, which translates as Never Surrender.He retired as Chairman of the Surrey Advertiser in 1977 after 35 years. He was also a director for 18 years on the main board of The Guardian & Manchester Evening News, and Chairman for ten years of the Belfast News Letter, the UKs oldest provincial daily. He was a founder shareholder and, for many years, an alternate director, of Capital Radio.He became Master of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers in 1985 after some 20 years of service on several committees and of the Court.Over the years he also donated sizeable sums to various worthy causes and projects, particularly in and around his hometown of Farnham.In 1973 Sir Ray was appointed OBE for services to the newspaper industry and in 1987 he was appointed CBE. In 1989 he became a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Surrey. He was knighted in 1994 andwas made the Newspaper Personality of the Year at the 2005 Newspaper Awards, in the same year becoming an honorary vice-president of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain.Sir Ray died as he would have wished, still committed to the media empire he had so painstakingly created over the course of a long and distinguished career.He was an avid collector of silver, and his collection is being sold by the estate in this auction.

He excelled at all sports and shortly before the outbreak of war played rugby for Scotland against England, Ireland, and Wales. ¦¦Scobie was sent out to France in October 1914. Though wounded shortly after his arrival, he recovered to fight in the trenches for the remainder of the war, being twice mentioned in dispatches and winning the Military Cross. Promoted captain in 1917, he received his brevet majority just two years later. In September 1920 he returned to England, where for four years he commanded a company at Woolwich. From 1927 to 1931 he was a staff captain, and later a brigade major, at Aldershot, before spending three years overseas as director of military artillery at the Royal Military Academy, Australia, during which he was promoted brevet lieutenant-colonel. On 9 February 1927 he married Joan Duncan (b. 1904/5), daughter of William Henry Sidebotham, a solicitor, of Farnham, Surrey and they later had a daughter.¦¦By 1939 Scobie was in London, as a full colonel and assistant adjutant-general at the War Office, and on the outbreak of war was made deputy director of mobilization, a role at which he excelled. In late spring 1940 he went out to the Middle East to serve as deputy adjutant-general on General Wavell~s staff before being appointed, in August, as a brigadier, general staff, in the Sudan. There, under General Sir William Platt, he helped plan the northern arm of the massive pincer that broke Italian military power in east Africa. Scobie with Platt captured Agordat in February 1941, broke the kernel of Italian resistance at Keren in March 1941, and finally took the whole of Eritrea. In the opinion of General Sir Frank Messervy, a fellow officer and friend, it was Scobie, through his diplomatic handling of two quarrelling divisional commanders and his insistence on persevering with the attack, who saw the crucial battle of Keren through to its victorious end.¦¦In October 1941, a month before Sir Claude Auchinleck launched his ~Crusader~ offensive against Rommel, Scobie, now a major-general, was appointed to succeed General Moreshead as commander of the garrison of Tobruk. After leading the 70th British division in by sea to relieve the Australian defenders, he and his men held the fortress in the face of furious enemy assault and even broke out from the town to make contact, if only for a few hours, with Auchinleck~s advance troops. Besieged again, with only forty-eight hours of artillery ammunition left, Scobie kept attacking as the battle of Sidi Razegh raged to the south. The garrison held out for another two weeks before finally being relieved. For his efforts in Eritrea and at Tobruk he was appointed OBE in 1941 and CB in 1942.¦¦From February to August 1942, for the duration of Rommel~s counter-offensive, Scobie was once again on the staff as deputy adjutant-general. His next posting was as general officer commanding another beleaguered outpost, this time the island of Malta. There he remained, blockaded by sea and under attack from the air, until the siege was finally lifted with the conclusion of the north African campaign. He returned to Cairo in 1943 as chief of staff to General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, commander-in-chief Middle East, where, among other tasks, he helped plan the invasion of Sicily and amphibious operations in the Aegean.¦¦In the following year Scobie was given command of the British force due for dispatch to Greece to keep order, following the German withdrawal, until a constitutional administration could be established. When he and his force duly arrived in October 1944 they found the country in a state of complete disorder and on the verge of widespread civil war. Members of EAM, the communist-led movement of national liberation, and of its military wing, ELAS, were threatening to seize power and already occupied much of Athens and the surrounding countryside. Supported by the British government, Scobie declared publicly that all guerrilla groups must disband, that he would stand by the returned Greek government in exile, led by Georgeios Papandreou, until a legal armed force was behind it and free elections could be held, and that he would protect it against any coup d~état. EAM denied the charge that they were preparing a coup, but the crisis quickly reached boiling point.¦¦In December 1944 heavy fighting broke out in Athens between ELAS and British troops. At one point British and Greek government forces seemed in danger of being overwhelmed. Reinforcements were sent, with a corps commander to take operational control, enabling Scobie to assume overall command. Only after a visit to Athens by Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden late in December did the civil strife there begin to draw to a close. Papandreou resigned, a regency was declared, and a new cabinet formed, more acceptable to EAM. But it took forty days of bitter fighting before Scobie and four ELAS delegates signed a military truce, on 11 January 1945, and disarmament of the guerrillas could start.¦¦Scobie~s fine efforts in Greece were recognized by his appointment to KBE in 1945. Most Greeks, too, held him in high esteem, perhaps unusually for a commander of foreign troops engaged as a temporary force of occupation, but their affection and respect were genuine. He received the freedom of Athens and the grand medal of the municipality, and was decorated with the grand cross of George I of Greece, and whenever in public was greeted by cheers and cries of ~Scobie! Scobie! Scobie!~. He remained in command in Greece until 1946. Abridged from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography, accessed October 2022. ¦¦
