Omar El-Nagdi (Egypt, 1931-2019)Gaza oil on canvas, four panelssigned and dated, executed in 2009250 x 900cm (98 7/16 x 354 5/16in).250 x 225 cm per panelFootnotes:A MONUMENTAL NINE METRE QUADTYCH BY OMAR EL NAGDI DEPICTING THE 2009 GAZA WARProvenance:Property from the Artist's EstateExhibited:Arts-Mart Gallery, Omar El Nagdi: Fragments of a Luminary Cairo, February-March 2016 This monumental and highly significant painting captures the unimaginable hardship, fear and anguish of the Palestinian civilians during the Gaza War which was also better known in the Muslim world as the Gaza Massacre. This three-week armed conflict between The Israeli Defence Forces and the Gaza Strip Palestinian paramilitary groups began on the 27th of December 2008 and ended on the 18th of January 2009 with a unilateral ceasefire. The unrelenting attack on Gaza resulted in over a thousand Palestinian and thirteen Israeli deaths. Omar El-Nagdi found the persecution and the brutal assault on his Palestinian brothers and sisters deeply unsettling and distressing. The ongoing massacres by the Israelis, deeply affected the Egyptian artist and urged him to react to these monstrosities by impulsively expressing himself in this profound composition. Suffering has been an enduring theme in art for centuries, and the tradition of painting violence, pain and oppression has long been a source of expression for artists experiencing conflict.The artist communicates a deep and painful reality; this painting serves as a reminder and reflections of Palestinian history and the ongoing struggle. The historic moment of the 1948 Palestinian exodus also known as the Nakba in Arabic led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of children and the ongoing war left many casualties. Towering and striking, the present work was painted two months after the conflict ended in 2009 and is one of the finest examples of the artist reacting almost concurrently to the world around him. A seminal piece of artistic activism, in the vein of some of the greatest recorded works in history like Picasso's 'Guernica' and Goya's 'Disasters of War'. In his treatment of conflict, Nagdi clearly recalls Goya, whose set of 82 etchings were inspired by the scarring effect of the Franco-Spanish Peninsular War of 1807.Whilst divergent in form and composition, what Nagdi absorbs from Goya is the jarred, fragmented aesthetic that reflects the tumult of wartime discord. Goya was said to capture scenes in 'agonised haste', and accordingly, the idea of the turbulence of conflict depicted with a ghoulish, monster like aesthetic is heavily incorporated in Nagdi's work. El-Nagdi transcribes literally the chaos of war, isolating each disproportioned figure onto the canvas yet bringing them all together through the agony expressed in their faces.Hopelessness, grief and despair are apparent in the body language of the men, women and children seen in this work. His figures, or rather creatures, appear inhuman and resemble fictional characters rather than people, showing how the sufferings and torturing of war has stripped them bare of their humanity and dignity. Each movement, each body part and each facial expression screams out from the canvas; the hands reaching out in despair and the frightened bulging eyes of the helpless victims.Omar El Nagdi was born in Cairo in 1931 and studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Helwan University. Nagdi continued his training in Russia and Italy, eventually graduating from the Academy of Venice in 1967. A prodigious pioneer in Egyptian art history, In the 1960s, Nagdi exhibited in Europe alongside the Western masters Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. His works were soon after acquired by leading institutions around the world. An active member of Cairo's art community and of the Liberal Artists' group headed by Taha Hussein, Nagdi was an extraordinary painter and who equally excelled as a film director and music composer.A multi-disciplinary artist, Nagdi worked with sculpture, oil, watercolour and mosaics. Inspired by the diverse cultures that he encountered in rural Egypt, he fused in his works the Pharaonic and Islamic iconography with Cairo's urban culture idioms and Western aesthetics. His works visually enigmatic and captivating and inspired by folk art and traditions are reflections on everyday life in Egypt. His paintings are sufficient proof of his exceptional gifts for symbolic design and the splendid use of colour. Through his expressive textures, colours and symbolic elements, his works offer a communication that is deeply felt.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

JOAN PONÇ BONET (Barcelona, 1927 - Saint-Paul, France, 1984)."Self-portrait", 1948Watercolour on paper.Unsigned.Frame with faults.Size: 21,5 x 15,5 cm; 36,5 x 30,5 cm (frame).Painter and draughtsman, he trained in Barcelona, in the studio of Ramón Rogent and at the Academy of Plastic Arts with Ángel López-Obrero. After devoting himself to painting and drawing in anonymity, he held his first individual exhibition in 1946, at the Galería Arte in Bilbao, which was to be his definitive establishment on the national art scene. In 1948, together with Tharrats, Puig, Cuixart, Tàpies and Brossa, among others, he founded the avant-garde group Dau al Set. Selected by Eugenio D'Ors, he took part in the Salón de los Once in Madrid in 1951 and 1952. In 1952 he took part in the Hispano-American Biennial, and the following year he spent some time in Paris, where he met Joan Miró and managed to exhibit at the Musée de la Villa. On the latter's recommendation, Ponç gained access to Brazilian artistic circles, settling in São Paulo from 1953 to 1962. In 1954, the year Dau al Set disbanded, he held an exhibition at the city's Museum of Modern Art, which was so successful that the organisation acquired all his works. In Brazil he visited the equatorial jungles, where he was impressed by their fauna, especially insects, which he incorporated into his imagery. In 1955 he founded the Taüll group with Marc Aleu, Modest Cuixart, Jaume Guinovart, Jaume Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats. After returning to Catalonia due to illness, as a fully established artist he shows his work in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Bonn, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Antibes and various Spanish cities. In 1965 he won the International Grand Prize for Drawing at the São Paulo Biennial. Ponç's paintings present phantasmagoric images that are both painful and tortured, in which the subconscious is the protagonist. For the painter, art is nothing more than an introduction to the mystery and secrets of the spirit. More of a draughtsman than a painter, his work is extremely detailed and meticulous. Ponç's production can be divided into six periods: the Dau al Set period (1947), the Brazilian period (1958), the metaphysical-geometric period (1969), the period of the metaphysical characters (1970), the acupainting period (1971) and a final period of synthesis (1972). He is currently represented at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de São Paulo, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo in Vitoria, the Museo de L'Empordà and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

Krishna Hawlaji Ara (Indian, 1914-1985)Untitled (Still Life) signed 'Ara' lower rightwatercolour and gouache on paper61.8 x 46.5cm (24 5/16 x 18 5/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, India; Acquired from the artist's family member.CompareFor a similarly styled vase and painting technique see Christie's, South Asian Art, Mumbai, 19th December 2013, lot 13.It was around the late 1940s and all through the 1950s that Ara turned towards painting Still Life. His Still Life's have a deliberate roughness in both drawing and painting as can be seen in the present lot, and this is perhaps the most striking aspect of his paintings. The pink flowers drawn with minimal attention to detail, help distinguish his work from other artists and seeks to encapsulate what Ara wished to achieve in his works, which was the honest expression of form. Although Ara worked primarily in watercolours, his techniques evolved so that it looked as though his works were made using oil paints, as one might deduce when looking at the current lot. He achieved this by applying his colours straight from the tube and then spreading it in a dry impasto method. Ara's achievement perhaps lies in his abilities to combine sensuality with a calculated structuring that elevated and distinguished him from his contemporaries.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

Note: Robert Sawyers was a British artist best known for witty and creative compositions. He had the ability to transform memories into experiences on canvas and captured the beauty of everyday objects.

Born in Peckham, South London, he attended Beckenham School of Art before enrolling in the Royal College of Art in 1942. Following his education, Sawyers was awarded the Herbert Baker Travel Scholarship, which allowed him to travel to Florence, Italy. This was simply the beginning of a long career of travelling and painting; he travelled widely, often teaching and exhibiting in the exotic locations. He began formally teaching in 1947 at Leeds College of Art and later taught at Middlesbrough College of Art. Aside from international exhibitions across Europe and Central America, Sawyers also exhibited closer to home, showing at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, including the RA Summer Shows, the New English Art Club, the Blue Rider Gallery in Mere and at The Rendezvous Gallery in Aberdeen.
