Lizzie Riches (British, b.1950). 'Queen of Spades'. Oil on canvas, signed. 40 x 30cm. I was born in East London and grew up on the edge of Epping Forest which is where I first began to love natural history. I was a poor student at Art School, in fatc, it was probably the only period in my life when I didn't paint! I wasted that opportunity but I think I new that I had no interest in fitting in to anyone else's idea of what art should be. I had the great good fortune to join the Portal Gallery in the mid 1970s when they were still in Grafton Street London. Proponents of Naive and Outsider Art in those days, that unique institution enabled me to make a living as an artist. The gallery's style and taste changed over the years and although now online and at art fairs, the ethos of idiosynchratic painting continues.

JITKA KOLÍNSKÁ 1930 - 1992: STILL LIFE WITH A MOON 1958 Oil on canvas 72 x 90 cm Signed: On reverse "Jitka Kolínská ZátiÅ¡í s mÄ›sícem 1958" Jitka Kolínská's magical realism acted as a revelation at the exhibitions of the Máj57 group. One of the paintings contained a quote from Shakespeare, which made her a suspect for the censors. Several painting groups in Germany initially sought after her to join their painter groups. Sophisticated stylization and the color palette used create tension and at the same time look extremely tender and poetic. Jitka Kolínská also devoted herself to illustrations of books for the youngest. It is her ability to project emotions into images and illustrations through symbols and visual poetry that is characteristic of her works.
ZDENÄšK RYKR 1900 - 1940: A CAFE 1930 Oil on canvas 84 x 95 cm Signed: Upper right "Rykr 30" ZdenÄ›k Rykr was one of the peculiar solitaires who, despite theadversity of the fate, did not hesitate to devote himself to art. He was never accepted at the Academy of Fine Arts, but received his doctorate from the Faculty of Philosophy, where he studied art history and classical archeology. He approached art very thoroughly, mastering a considerable number of styles, until he was often criticized for not creating a more coherent opinion. The opposite was true, ZdenÄ›k Rykr approached his own path through art methodically and sought the path himself and did not downplay it in any way. His friend Jaromír Funke understood its variability in such a way that he reached every goal very easily, so he lost interest in him. Thanks to his talent for creating advertising design and free graphics, he was not dependent on the sale of his works. He believed that advertising should cultivate the viewer, and we still buy some of his designs on the packaging today - for example, the star of Orion (Czech chocolate factory). His success allowed him to paint completely unobtrusively. Café darkness and still lifes with thonets inspired ZdenÄ›k Rykr to transform a civilian theme into a play of lines and shadows. It mimics a familiar environment shortly before the first customers arrive, or shortly after the last one leaves. Such a still life is a harbinger or reverberation of movements, sounds and perceptions hidden in absolute silence. It creates tension in the middle of a moment of rest.From the expert assessment byPhDr. ReaMichalováPh.D.: "The dominant line reflects the author's joy of painting, summing up the impression evoked by sensory experience, Rykr enjoyed entertainment, socialized, danced and also traveled, and the painting "Cafe" is the result of the author's extremely happy life and creative constellation in the early 1930s."
JAN KAÅ PAR HIRSCHELY 1695 - 1743: PAIRED FLORAL STILL LIFES First half of 18th century Oil on wood 35,5 x 25 cm Signed: Unsigned The cabinet still life comes from the calmperiod of Hirschely's work, when the author does not use luxury objects and expensive mannerist vases to compose still lifes, but arranges live flowers in simple glass flasks to highlight their natural beauty. When painting floral still lifes, Hirschely emphasized the aesthetic tone of the work. The painter created a rich mannerist arrangement with strong color tones appearing in the foreground and tried to meet the requirements of the time for the archaization of form. Later, he devoted himself to other motifs in his work, such as fruits and birds. The botanical composition of the bouquets often went beyond one season. In one case, they control the color range of red chrysanthemums and yellow feather tulip. In the background are small-flowered daffodils and deep blue Aquilegias. In second case around the central motif of a variegated tulip with delicate petals, the author concentrates carefully selected variations of daffodils, Aquilegias, iris, roseand amaryllis.Works consulted with PhDr. Hana Seifertová.
MARIE FIALOVÁ 1860 - 1933: FEMALE NUDE Late 19th/early 20th century Oil on canvas 172 x 61 cm Signed: Lower right "Fialová" Unfortunately, Marie Fialová is one of the forgotten authors today. She studied painting under Opitz, Josef ŽeníÅ¡ek and under Dr.AgathonKlemt. From 1888 to 1891 she studied in Munich with the painter Tina Blau Lang. She exhibited with other female authors, mostly painting flowers, old streets of Prague, still lifes and flowers. We also know line drawings from her. This life-size female nude represents a completely new dimension of the painter's work, to which she has paid special attention here and which has not yet been published anywhere.

19TH CENTURY BRITISH NAIVE SCHOOL CHILDREN AT PLAY watercolour and ink(12cm x 19cm (4.75in x 7.5in))Footnote: Note: After many years of living and working in exotic and far-flung parts of the world, including New Guinea, Nigeria and Cairo, Angus and Alison Hill returned to Glasgow to make Scotland their permanent home. Spending time between the fashionable west end of Glasgow and the pretty Black Isle home in Cromarty, Alison now had plenty of time to indulge her passion for naive country antiques. These were not yet fully appreciated by native buyers when Alison first started to buy in the 1970s. And Alison had what is known amongst dealers and collectors as ‘a good eye’. She followed her instincts and bought with her heart. Much of what she bought was then sold, some to North America where there was and still is a greater admiration of painted and simple furnishings. One client she referred to as ‘Blue Chicken’. Some things would be bought by the famous Kensington Church Street emporium The Lacquer Chest who shared her taste and were, like Alison, ahead of their time. What we see in this sale is the collection of special objects which she could not bear to part with. Is it too fanciful to believe that some of her pared-down aesthetic derived, in some part, from her early childhood home at Port Charlotte on the island of Islay, with its white-painted croft houses? She eschewed the popular mahogany and ‘smart’ antiques. Instead, her eye was drawn to the quiet and understated charm of objects often discarded - the painted post box, the child’s wooden alphabet, the delicious collection of milk and cream cans, with the names of the original owner inscribed. The painted miniature portraits of Regency children were her companions on the walls, with some sailors sewn pictures and a painted pigeon portrait thrown in. The drawers in the lovely Cromarty home were stuffed with some of the many small wooden treen objects- a cornucopia of delights. These sat alongside art nouveau and Glasgow Style ceramics, glass and metalwares (see our last Decorative Arts sale). This collecting habit had begun in Cairo. Visits to both the elegant Glasgow flat and home in Cromarty were always a delight, with intelligent and witty conversations, many tales of life overseas. Assam tea was served in breakfast cups. And our eyes were drawn to the many desirable objects which will now find new and appreciative homes

Luyckx, Carstiaen Antwerpen 1623 - um 1670 81 x 100 cm,o.R. Jagdstilleben mit erlegter Beute. Falke, Hunde sowie Jagdutensilien sind um eine Flinte gruppiert. Öl/Lwd., doubl. Provenienz: Aus einer bedeutenden bayerischen Privatsammlung. Obwohl dieser vielseitige Künstler heute kaum einem breiteren Publikum bekannt ist, war er zu seinen Lebzeiten äußerst erfolgreich und genoss im Antwerpen des 17. Jahrhunderts hohes Ansehen. Carstiaen Luyckx wurde bei Philips de Marlier ausgebildet und 1642 auch bei Frans Francken III. 1645 wurde er als Meister der örtlichen Gilde anerkannt und ist bis August 1653 in Antwerpen dokumentiert. Nach den französischen Inschriften vieler seiner späteren Werke zu urteilen, ist er möglicherweise von Antwerpen weiter südlich nach Nordfrankreich gezogen. Es sind nur zwei datierte Werke von ihm bekannt, weshalb es schwierig ist eine Chronologie seines Werkes zu erstellen. Ein Teil seines Oeuvres besteht aus Jagdstilleben, die von Frans Snyders und insbesondere von Jan Fyt beeinflusst wurden, wofür die vorliegende Komposition ein hervorragendes Beispiel ist. Man wird es wohl auf die Übergangsphase des Künstlers zwischen seiner Antwerpener und der französischen Zeit in die 1650er Jahre datieren können. LUYCKX, CARSTIAEN (1623-c.1670). A hunting still life of partridges and a hare grouped together with a gyrfalcon and dogs around a musket and hunting gear. Oil/canvas/canvas. Provenance: Important Bavarian private collection. Though scarcely known to a wider public today, this versatile artist was successful and held in high regard in seventeenth-century Antwerp. Carstiaen Luyckx trained under Philips de Marlier and in 1642 with Frans Francken III. In 1645 he was accepted as a master of the local guild and is documented in Antwerp up to August 1653. To judge from the French inscriptions on many of his later works, he may have moved south, away from Antwerp to Northern France. Only two dated works are known to exist, making it difficult to establish a chronology for his oeuvre. A part of his output consists of game still lifes, influenced by Frans Snyders and especially by Jan Fyt, from which the present composition is an excellent example. It is most probably datable to the artist's transitional phase between his Antwerp and French period in the 1650s.

Charles CamoinBouquet d'anémones - plat et assiette de fruits Öl auf Leinwand 50,5 x 61,5 cm Gerahmt. Unten rechts schwarz signiert 'Ch Camoin'. - In schöner, farbfrischer Erhaltung.Mit einer Foto-Expertise von Anne-Marie Grammont-Camoin, Paris, vom 3.3.1999ProvenienzPrivatbesitz Nordrhein-WestfalenLiteraturDanièle Giraudy, Camoin. Sa vie son oeuvre, Marseille 1972, Kat. Nr. 1014Neben Landschaftsansichten ist das Stillleben die wohl wichtigste Gattung im Spätwerk von Charles Camoin. In seinen ganz aus der Farbe entwickelten Blumen- und Früchtebildern der 1950er Jahre zelebriert er wahre koloristische Feuerwerke. Vor meist dunkel gehaltenem Hintergrund lässt Camoin - wie auch in dem hier angebotenen Werk - das Weiß des Porzellans und die kräftigen Töne von Blumen und Früchten in fast übernatürlicher Intensität aufleuchten und schafft damit Sinnbilder sommerlicher Fülle. Charles CamoinBouquet d'anémones - plat et assiette de fruits Oil on canvas 50.5 x 61.5 cm Framed. Signed 'Ch Camoin' in black lower right. - In fine condition with fresh colours.With a photo-certificate by Anne-Marie Grammont-Camoin, Paris, dated 3 March 1999ProvenancePrivate possession, North Rhine-WestphaliaLiteratureDanièle Giraudy, Camoin. Sa vie son oeuvre, Marseille 1972, cat. no. 1014Alongside views of landscapes, the still life is surely the most important genre in Charles Camoin's late work. In the pictures of flowers and fruits developed entirely out of the paint in the 1950s, he celebrates genuine colouristic fireworks. Before a background that is usually kept dark, Camoin - as in the case of the work offered here - makes the white of the porcelain and the bold tones of the flowers and fruit flash with an almost supernatural intensity, creating symbolic images of summery abundance.
