Philippa Crabtree (British, born 1764)A group of nine botanical studies;Melittis Melissophyllum with Viola (Mint with Violet)signed and dated in pencil 'Philippa Crabree/1786' (lower right) inscribed (lower left) watercolour and bodycolour on vellum, laid down 28.5 x 22 cm. (11 1/4 x 8 11/16 in.)Together with eight further studies, unsigned; Hyacinth with Scarlet Pimpernel, Narcissi with small blue daisy-like flower, Carnations, Carnation with blue flower, Narcissi with Crocus, Rhododendron, Rose and Garden Balsam (9)Footnotes:Philippa Crabtree was born in London on 17th November 1764. She became a botanical artist, listed as living in Bishopsgate Street. Exhibited at Royal Academy, 1786-87. LiteratureAn article written by W. Roberts appeared in The Gardeners' Chronicle, 5th June 1920, entitled 'A Forgotten Botanical Artist: Miss Crabtree'.Roberts describes the exciting discovery of a folio of watercolours by the artist.'Hodgson sold a consignment of portfolios or albums from Sussex, which included many beautiful drawings of flowers on vellum by Philippa Crabtree'...'All the more important drawings of flowers were purchased by Mr Francis Edwards of High Street, Marylebone, who kindly permitted me to take full notes.''The earliest dated drawing by Phillipa Crabtree I have found is one, 1784, of Narcissus Tazetta, which helps us to realise from what an indifferent type many wonderful varieties have been developed. Common garden flowers such as Sweet Peas, Pinks, double Daisies, and so forth appear among Miss Crabtree's earlier work. In 1786 she extended her scope and was able to paint many exotic plants, possibly in Curtis's London Botanic Gardens, in St. George's Fields, within easy walk of Bishopsgate Street, and to which the subscription was a guinea a year. The drawings of Geranium (Pelargonium) lanceolatum is dated 1786, about 11 years after it was introduced; in the same year also appears a British plant, Melittis Melissophyllum, and Ipomaea Quamoclit, which some years later was figures in the Botanical Magazine'. He describes 'the undated ones include many interesting examples, such for instance as various Rhododendrons, Passifloras, Roses and various bulbous plants. Occasionally two subjects are done on a page.'Roberts goes into great detail explaining the importance of these pictures and states that it is possible that these are 'the first British drawings' of many species. 'It is a very obvious suggestion that these drawings, manifestly executed with the greatest care and with every effort to be accurate, were done for a specific purpose, and wonders if they may not have been reproduced in some of the botanical or horticultural books of the period, with the artist's name suppressed and till now forgotten.'A group of watercolours by Philippa Crabtree were sold at Sotheby's London in November 1965.An example of her work, depicting a Passion Flower, was sold at Christies, London, 19th May 1998, Books and Watercolours, Lot 16, hammer price £2,300.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

*LOTTIE DAVIES (B. 1971) 'The Girl and the Tower, 2008' number 1 from the edition of 5, Lambda print on aluminium, 85cm x 200cm. Lottie Davies was born in Guildford, UK, in 1971. She grew up in Surrey and was educated in Alton and Godalming. After a degree in philosophy at St Andrews University in Scotland, she moved back to England to pursue a career in photography. She is currently based in London and Cornwall. Davies’ unique style has been employed in a variety of contexts, including newspapers, glossy magazines, books and advertising. She has won recognition in numerous awards, including the Association of Photographers’ Awards, the International Color Awards, and the Schweppes Photographic Portrait Awards. Her work has garnered international acclaim with the image Quints, which won First Prize at the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Awards 2008 at the National Portrait Gallery in London, with Viola As Twins, which won the Photographic Art Award, Arte Laguna Prize in Venice in 2011, and her collaboration on Dreams of Your Life with Hide & Seek/Film 4.0 which was BAFTA-nominated in 2012. Davies’ work is concerned with stories and personal histories, the tales and myths we use to structure our lives. She takes inspiration from classical and modern painting, cinema and theatre as well as the imaginary worlds of literature. She employs a deliberate reworking of our visual vocabulary, playing on our notions of nostalgia and visual conventions with the intention of evoking a sense of recognition and narrative. Sandy Nairne, former director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, described Davies’ work as “brilliantly imaginative”.

Giovanni Giacometti 1868–1933 Inverno 1932 Öl auf Leinwand unten rechts monogrammiert GGrückseitig signiert, bezeichnet und datiert Giovni Giacometti Maloja 1932 72 x 75 cmProvenienz: bedeutende Privatsammlung, SchweizAuktion Sotheby's, Zürich, 3.12.2013, Los 26Ausstellung: Jubiläumsausstellung Giovanni Giacometti (1868-1933), Chur, Bündner Kunstmuseum, 1968, Nr. 119 (Winter in Capolago).Literatur: Paul Müller und Viola Radlach, Giovanni Giacometti 1868–1933, Werkkatalog der Gemälde, Zürich, Schweizerisches Institut für Kunstwissenschaft, 1996/97, Bd. II, S. 568, Nr. 1932.23.Im Zentrum dieses von Giovanni Giacometti in seinem letzten Lebensjahr entstandenen Ölgemäldes steht die Faszination für die Natur und seine Liebe zur Heimat. Während bei vielen Winterlandschaften Giacomettis die Sonne und deren Leuchtkraft eine wichtige Rolle übernehmen, besticht dieses Werk viel mehr durch eine Intensität, bei der auf die im Bild selbst dargestellte Sonne verzichtet wird. Der sich türmende Schnee ist nicht nur Thema des Bildes, sondern auch das Verbindungselement zwischen Vorder- und Hintergrund. Er rahmt die dargestellte Szene ein und führt den Betrachter gleichsam in diese nostalgisch anmutende Landschaft. Giacometti hat in diesem Spätwerk gezeigt, wie Farbe zum Leuchten gebracht werden kann. Er hat es geschafft, mit einer reduzierten Farbpalette die winterliche Kälte fassbar zu machen. Die Macht der Natur wird durch die Darstellung einer einzelnen Person mittig im Bild unterstrichen. Die mit einer Schaufel ausgestattete und in die Winterlandschaft eingebettete Figur verdeutlicht noch einmal die Weite der Landschaft.

II, S. 517, Nr. 1918.26, mit Abb.In den Jahren ab 1918 entstanden eine Reihe von Landschaften in heller, satter Farbigkeit, inspiriert durch Amiets systematische und analytische Auseinandersetzung mit der Malerei seines Vorbildes Van Gogh sowie seiner Freunde aus dem Kreis der Expressionisten. "Sommerlandschaft" kann als Hauptwerk dieser Serie bezeichnet werden. Das Werk zeigt den Dorfplatz des Weilers Oschwand. Die expressive Strahlkraft der Farben, der imposante, ausgesprochen leidenschaftlich und temperamentvoll gemalte Himmel mit den rosa Wolken zeugen von Amiets Ausbruch aus den formalen Zwängen der damaligen Bildauffassung. Dieses unvoreingenommene Sehen war für Cuno Amiet massgebend. Er verstand das Sehen als ein von aller konventioneller Begrifflichkeit befreites Schauen, das lediglich von den Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bestimmt wird.
