She studied at Edinburgh College of Art under the tutelage of S. J. Peploe alongside classmates Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and William Gear, and won a scholarship in 1933 to study in Paris. In 1939, Mellis moved to St Ives with her husband, the writer Adrian Stokes. There, she became a member of the St Ives group of artists and an important figure in the growing modernist movement. It was here that Mellis began to produce collages and constructions of plywood, driftwood and found objects, as well as small abstract paintings. In the 1960s and 1970s she continued experimenting with these constructions and reliefs, working with colour. Mellis left the St Ives area in 1946 after the breakdown of her marriage and subsequent divorce. She later married Francis Davison, also an artist, and became a mentor to the young Damien Hirst.Condition report: Condition is good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues.

[smallest], 28 x 39 cm cm (11 x 15 3/8 in.) [largest]scattered inscriptions in pencil with a visible export stamp to the recto of onePROVENANCECollection of Viktor KholodkovLOT NOTESThis lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.CONDITIONUnframed, the group appears in age-appropriate condition. Each with surface soiling, wear to the perimeter and hard creases to the corners.
