Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu M.B.E (Nigerian, 1917-1994)Portrait of a Girl signed and dated 'BE/92' (lower right)oil on canvas47.5 x 33.5cm (18 11/16 x 13 3/16in).(framed)Footnotes:Informed by the Negritude ideology, Portrait of a Girl, from subject matter to painterly execution, exemplifies the artist's hope for the future of his culture. This was to transcend from any colonial interruption within his contemporary practice in order to exemplify modern life while being aware of his traditional roots. This movement sought to diminish colonial interjection within the art that black Nigerian artists were creating, reclaiming a sense of pride in Nigerian artist's cultural history, such as Enwonwu. Leopold Senghor had spearheaded this movement with the strong belief that it was imperative for black culture to recover the cultural pride that colonialism had attempted to stamp out. By emphasising the heritage of back intellectual's and calling for an acknowledgment or incorporation into their work, whether that be in literacy or artistic practise.Following his formal artistic training in Europe, attending the Slade School of Fine Art in 1945, some of the artists early works employed the traditional Western techniques of portrait painting. While it could be said that this work possesses elements of this formal training and European modernism, the Negritude ideology and aesthetic is also firmly present within the work. In the faded background figures, and the removal of detailed eyes, presenting the subject with a level of anonymity, the current work grants the viewer with a rhetoric of the Negritude ideology. This later work steps away from any rigidity that had characterised some of his earlier works that were more directly informed by Western portraiture techniques, framing the girl in the foreground of a background of movement. Towards the end of his life, Enwonwu turned to informal and quickly completed works, perhaps drawing inspiration from more domesticated scenes. The present work could have been a child of his family members or house staff's children due to their domestically informal attire. Painted two years before the artists death, the present work gives a sense of the artist's hopes for the future and a stamp of his identity he has carved out in art history.BibliographyA Celebration of Excellence: Ben Enwonwu 1921 - 1994, (The Ben Enwonwu Foundation, 2004)This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Keith Vaughan (British, 1912-1977)Study for Wrestlers dated and inscribed 'Sept 14' (upper right), 'Nov 4/62' (lower right), stamped with estate stamp 'K.V.' (lower right)pencil on paper27 x 20cm (10 5/8 x 7 7/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Anthony Hepworth Fine Art, BathPrivate Collection, U.K.Vaughan was interested in the pugilistic arts and made several oil paintings (see Wrestlers, 1964) and gouaches (see Boxer, 1965) on the subject. The present drawing was probably inspired by one of Eadweard Muybridge's 1881 photographic images of two men wrestling. Vaughan owned a book of his photographs of figures in motion and studied it closely. Two figures are locked together in a dramatic combat, their bodies interpenetrating one another in a series of dynamic outlines. The figure at the left is represented in a sequence of profiles as he bends down to meet his opponent. The superimposition of several, separate images of figures in movement was something that interested Vaughan and may be seen in several of his paintings during the 1960s (see Group of Figures and Ganymede, 1962).We are grateful to Gerard Hastings, who is currently working on his new book Keith Vaughan: The Graphic Art, to be published by Pagham Press, for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
