Signed 'Bryan Ingham' (on the backboard), collage on board (Dimensions: 14.5cm x 3cm (5.75in x 1.2in))(14.5cm x 3cm (5.75in x 1.2in))Footnote: Provenance: Estate of the artist. Note: FROM THE ESTATE OF BRYAN INGHAM Bryan Ingham was an independent and dedicated artist, who furrowed his own artistic path throughout a long and productive career, attributing his successful endeavours to ‘sheer, bloody hard work.’ Born and raised in Yorkshire, he was introduced to poetry and music by his bachelor uncle, who also forged in him a deep love of reading, despite his struggles at school. His first encounter with visual art and painting was through attendance at Scouts, where one evening a lady artist shared her watercolours; Ingham fell in love and was inspired to start painting himself. Later called up to the RAF, an ‘artistic sort of airman,’ he was fortunate enough to be paired in accommodation with a designer who had attended the Royal College of Art, whom further encouraged Ingham’s creative instincts and set him up still-life studies to work from. Ingham returned to Britain following his service armed with the ambition to be an artist. His ensuing formal artistic training took place at Central St. Martins and then the Royal College of Art, as the young Ingham felt a move to London entirely necessary to both his personal and artistic development. He gained attention from senior staff for his talent, and on the strength of his work generated numerous job offers at graduation and a grant allowing him to spend a year in Italy, travelling and then studying at the British Academy in Rome. At this stage, Ingham seemed poised to become an establishment artist, with works already receiving prime positions and sales at the Royal Academy. Yet, eternally independent, he instead made the decision to purchase a remote cottage on the Lizard peninsula in West Cornwall, following in the footsteps of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. He maintained this for the rest of his life, and worked there for long periods every year, interspersed with trips abroad, particularly to northern Germany, and times where he lived elsewhere in Cornwall, most notably at St. Ives. This commitment to Cornwall drew him into both the inspiration and social network of the St. Ives school, of which he became an important figure. Throughout his career, Ingham worked in a variety of mediums, creating a large body of works that drew on the rich artistic legacy of Britain, and artists such as Nicholson and Peter Lanyon, alongside the wider continental influences of Mondrian, Braque and Picasso. Towards the end of his life he reflected on his career as a 45-year ‘apprenticeship,’ acknowledging ‘there is the argument that by going down many false paths one has enriched one’s vocabulary, if only minimally, but positively enriched it…because nobody else has gone up and down those various pathways . . . I’ve been up and down a hell of a lot of pathways.’ Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering a carefully curated selection of work from the artist’s estate, showing the fundamental role that Ingham played in the interdisciplinary nature of British art during the 20th Century.Condition report: The board appears sound, glued to backboard/mount. Overall it appears in good condition.

Initialled (lower right), oil on canvas (Dimensions: 54.5cm x 45cm (21.5in x 17.75in))(54.5cm x 45cm (21.5in x 17.75in))Footnote: Provenance: The Mayor Gallery, London. Note: Still Life with Tulips will be included in any future updated editions of John Gledhill's Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings of Matthew Smith , first published by Lund Humphries in November 2009. Francis Bacon wrote of Smith, ‘he seems to me to be one of the very few English painters since Constable and Turner to be concerned with painting – that is, with attempting to make idea and technique inseparable. Painting in this sense tends towards a complete interlocking of image and paint, so that the image is the paint, and vice versa. Here the brush stroke creates the form and does not merely fill it in. Consequently every movement of the brush on the canvas alters the shape and implications of the image’.Condition report: Backboard to frame, so reverse of canvas not visible. There are a few very minor isolated spots of craquelure to the flowers, vase and background. Otherwise the work is in generally good overall condition.

He gained attention from senior staff for his talent, and on the strength of his work generated numerous job offers at graduation and a grant allowing him to spend a year in Italy, travelling and then studying at the British Academy in Rome. At this stage, Ingham seemed poised to become an establishment artist, with works already receiving prime positions and sales at the Royal Academy. Yet, eternally independent, he instead made the decision to purchase a remote cottage on the Lizard peninsula in West Cornwall, following in the footsteps of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. He maintained this for the rest of his life, and worked there for long periods every year, interspersed with trips abroad, particularly to northern Germany, and times where he lived elsewhere in Cornwall, most notably at St. Ives. This commitment to Cornwall drew him into both the inspiration and social network of the St. Ives school, of which he became an important figure. Throughout his career, Ingham worked in a variety of mediums, creating a large body of works that drew on the rich artistic legacy of Britain, and artists such as Nicholson and Peter Lanyon, alongside the wider continental influences of Mondrian, Braque and Picasso. Towards the end of his life he reflected on his career as a 45-year ‘apprenticeship,’ acknowledging ‘there is the argument that by going down many false paths one has enriched one’s vocabulary, if only minimally, but positively enriched it…because nobody else has gone up and down those various pathways . . . I’ve been up and down a hell of a lot of pathways.’ Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering a carefully curated selection of work from the artist’s estate, showing the fundamental role that Ingham played in the interdisciplinary nature of British art during the 20th Century.Condition report: The board appears sound, affixed by artist to paper backing. Some detioration to paper backing, and some light surface dirt to collage. Overall appears in good condition, and expect remains how artist intended from studio.

Partial studio stamp (to base), plaster (Dimensions: 21.5cm high (8.5in))(21.5cm high (8.5in))Footnote: Provenance: Estate of the artist. Note: FROM THE ESTATE OF BRYAN INGHAM Bryan Ingham was an independent and dedicated artist, who furrowed his own artistic path throughout a long and productive career, attributing his successful endeavours to ‘sheer, bloody hard work.’ Born and raised in Yorkshire, he was introduced to poetry and music by his bachelor uncle, who also forged in him a deep love of reading, despite his struggles at school. His first encounter with visual art and painting was through attendance at Scouts, where one evening a lady artist shared her watercolours; Ingham fell in love and was inspired to start painting himself. Later called up to the RAF, an ‘artistic sort of airman,’ he was fortunate enough to be paired in accommodation with a designer who had attended the Royal College of Art, whom further encouraged Ingham’s creative instincts and set him up still-life studies to work from.

SIDNEY RICHARD PERCY (1822-1886)In the Highlandssigned 'S. R. Percy' (lower right)oil on canvas20 x 30 inProvenance: Purchased from the Cooling Galleries, Bond Street, London, circa 1965 Thence by descent to the present vendorSidney Richard Percy was taught by his father, the landscape painter Edward Williams (1781-1855), and was one of an extended family of talented artists. In a working career stretching over 40 years he exhibited nearly 200 landscape subjects at the Royal Academy, The British Institution and the Suffolk Street Gallery of the Society of British Artists.In his early years as an artist, Percy concentrated on depicting landscapes within a reasonably close proximity to his home in Barnes. However as he matured as a landscape painter, he increasingly sought inspiration in Devon, Yorkshire, The Lake District and further afield.His detailed landscapes proved particularly popular with the Victorian public, and their sales afforded him the ability to live a life of some affluence.. Acclaim for Percy's landscapes perhaps reached its zenith in the 1860s, soon after Prince Albert had given one of Percy's landscapes to his wife Queen Victoria.This is still retained in the Royal Collection.After a painting tour of Switzerland with William Callow in 1866, Sidney Percy returned to England, re-inspired to depict the grandeur of the mountain scenery within Britain. Not only did he travel to North Wales, but in the 1870's made a number of painting expeditions to the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye. The example at Brightwells may well have been painted at that time.
