Lisa Golightly Blue Sea and Man, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Lisa Golightly's artistic career began with photography. Her father was a painter, and though she grew up exposed to his practice, she discovered her appreciation for photography at an early age. However, while working on her Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism BFA, she found her way back to painting, developing an artistic practice which marries a deep technical and theoretical understanding of photography with painting. "As straightforward as it may sound, I have fallen in love with the brush, the color, the intimate experience of painting and creating my own world." Today, Lisa's artistic practice still begins with photography. She first scours the internet and estate sales for bundles of anonymous old photography and film. Then, she reframes, rebuilds and reimagines existing subjects of these forgotten photos in the terms of her own memory. She exaggerates light and color in a way that recalls old film photography, painting in pastel, washed out palettes that mimic overexposed film. Working with acrylic, and painting in a distinct painterly style, she references impressionism, pointillism, as well as the oeuvre of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd to create paintings that are both anonymous and inherently personal in nature. Lisa's work straddles the line between the familiar and the anonymous, creating an uncanny gray area in which we can all find some part of ourselves, our history or our memory. Lisa further explores the relations between memory, physical distance and the passage of time in this body of work. These paintings are more an exploration of memory than a visual reproduction of film photography. They are a bricolage of truth, interpretation and memory that capture the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. These works also explore the sense of collective memory, and the universal nature of human experience. Lisa comments that when procuring old photographs, "Strangely, a lot of times it's like 'Oh that could have been my family.' It's fascinating how a lot of images are something we all have, certain things, times or places that we all document similarly." Born in Eugene, Oregon, Lisa Golightly studied at the University of Arizona where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism in 1996. Solo exhibitions include Marking Time, George Billis Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020), Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, WA (2020), Recent paintings, Clove and Creek, Kingston, New York (2018), If Only For A Little While, Good Eye Gallery, Los Angeles CA (2016), and more. Her work has been reviewed in Paper Magazine, Luxe Interior and Designs, The Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. She has participated in art fairs including the Venice Art Walk in Venice Beach, California. Her art was selected for a promotional campaign in London, England in celebration of International Women's Day. She was also chosen to produce an album cover and interior art for musician Alec Lytle.

Portolan chart Carte Particulieres de la Mer Mediterannée [sic]. Faict A Marseille par Bremond, 1663.Manuscript portolan chart in pen and ink and watercolour heightened in gold, on single sheet of vellum (54 x 78.5cm), showing the Mediterranean from Portugal in the west to the Levantine seaboard in the east, names of coastal settlements written perpendicular to coastline, rivers and deltas also included, 13 compass roses each with projecting rhumb lines, several with flourishes incorporating mascarons and foliate decoration, decorative title cartouche lower left with allegorical figures either side, decorative unnumbered scale bar lower right, captions 'Europa' and 'Grecia' within strapwork cartouches (the latter incorporating mascaron), inset view of Marseilles upper left, Habsburg coat of arms within Spanish landmass, vignette of a man-of-war in the Atlantic (adjacent to the straits of Gibraltar), vignettes of Islamic rulers in turbans and robes within the landmasses of Africa, Turkey and Egypt, those for Turkey and Egypt each with adjacent vignette of fanciful coat of arms incorporating crescent surmounted by a crown, vignette of Jerusalem cityscape and the three crosses of Calvary at a right angle to right-hand border, Red Sea picked out in red, broad red and green border around all sidesNote: Note: The Bremond family were a dynasty of cartographers active in Marseille in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The family member responsible for this example is likely to be Estienne: the Huntington Library holds a portolan chart of the Aegean Sea which bears the signature 'Facit a Marseille par Estienne Bremond, 1655' (mssHM 31); the University of Cambridge holds a similar chart, depicting the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean, signed only with the initials 'E B' but now attributed to Estienne and dated to c.1650 (Maps.Ms.Plans.697); it is thought to be the only portolan in their collections. One notable feature of the present example is that that the place-names are in large part not in the forms standard to any one major language and in some cases appear to show an Occitan influence, such as Gibarta for Gibraltar, Antibou for Antibes, and Nisa for Nice. A descendant of Bremond, Laurent, published in the 1720s a collection of charts Recueil de plusieurs plans des ports et rades de la mer Mediterranée, describing himself on the title-page as 'Hydrographe du Roy et de la Ville'.Provenance: Paxton House, Berwickshire, Scotland.

John Shinnors (b. 1950)Morning InteriorOil on board, 82 x 85cm (32 x 33½ ")SignedIn this outstanding painting, it is early morning, apparently, as dawn light blooms with a flush of pink over what could well be the profile of King John’s Castle. On the right, a white-garbed female figure looks calmly out on the awakening day. The red and white on the chequered bedspread to the left picks up the light, though the source of the light on the figure’s nightdress, or perhaps sheet, is not at all obvious. The warming glow might well come from within.John Shinnors likes to pose questions for viewers, and often the first question is to make them wonder just what they are looking at. He is adept at taking staple elements of his pictorial vocabulary and presenting them in a way that recasts them as arrangements of abstract pattern. To some extent he does that here, but it as if he is feeling mellow, and the mood infuses the picture and extends to his being easy on the viewer. The various elements, including figure, bed, wall, curtain, window, the sleepy sprawl of the intervening cityscape and the distant, castle-like profile, are readily apparent and adroitly managed in a very clever composition.Its energy radiates from a vertical division just off the centre, as the line of the base of the bed picks up and adds spin to the the line of the window’s glazing bar above, opening out the space and encouraging us to accommodate the elements to either side, the room’s interior. Generally in his work the artist favours innumerable shades of black, white and grey. They are in evidence here, as is his penchant for lively injections of red. He also uses muted blues to tremendous effect, plus characteristic tinges of ochre, and of course the generous colouring of that beautiful, radiant glimpse of sky. Colour temperature play a vital role.Limerick’s best-known artist, Shinnors was born in 1950, studied at LSAD under the guidance of the remarkable Jack Donovan, and spent time travelling in England as a musician before returning home to commit himself to life as a painter. Early magic-realism gave way to his mature style which is, in its way, equally magical. Widely sought after, his work is in all the major collections.Aiden Dunne, April 2023
Ewald Mataré (1887 Aachen - 1965 Büderich) (F)'Finnisches Pferd', 1929/30, Bronze, braun patiniert, 26,5 cm x 22 cm x 10,5 cm, im Guss signiert, eines von insgesamt 14 Exemplaren, Plinthe verbogen, partiell leichte oberflächliche Kratzer, unterseitig Kleberückstände, Literatur: Wvz. Schilling 66bEwald Mataré war ein bedeutender deutscher Bildhauer und Grafiker, der zunächst zwischen 1907 - 1914 Malerei an der Kunstakademie in Berlin bei Lovis Corinth studierte und sich innerhalb der 1920er Jahre der Bildhauerei zuwandte. Holzschnitte und plastische Tierdarstellungen gehören zu den künstlerisch-handwerklichen Techniken, die Mataré besonders schätzte. Die Körper der Tiere reduzierte er auf flächige Grundformen und stellte sich der geistigen Herausforderung die Anatomie des Animalischen in eben diese Grundformen zu übersetzen. Als Material wurde vorwiegend Holz gewählt, dessen natürliche Maserung der Künstler durch glatte Oberflächenpolierung hervorzuheben wusste. An dieser Stelle muss darauf eingegangen werden, dass Mataré nicht von der Tätigkeitsbeschreibung des Schnitzens überzeugt ist - vielmehr sei es so, dass er als Künstler die Tiere aus einem plastischen Gedanken heraus bildhauerte. Der Künstler selbst beschreibt seine Arbeit an den Tierfiguren zu jenen Jahren als "fürstliches Vergnügen". Darauf geht er 1959 während eines Atelierbesuchs des Instituts für den wissenschaftlichen Film Göttingen näher ein. Mataré beschreibt eine glückliche Zeit, in der er einfach aus sich heraus, ohne jeden Zweck, ohne jede Notwendigkeit seine Tiere formte. Er erinnert sich selbst als alleinstehenden jungen Mann, der für sich selbst entscheiden konnte im Sommer in die Landschaften zu gehen, ans Meer, nach Spiekeroog, nach Sylt und nach Finnland. Sicherlich sind diese Tierdarstellungen angelehnt an die ältesten kunsthistorischen Tierdarstellungen, die es beispielsweise als Wandmalereien aus reinen Erdpigmenten in der Höhle von Lascaux (Frankreich) bis heute erhalten sind. Jahrtausende alte Relikte der Kunst, die das Tier als überlebenswichtiger Begleiter des Menschen, als Raubtier, als heiliges Tier und als Teil der Natur zeigen. Das finnische Pferd stammt aus den Jahren 1929/1930, als der Künstler mit einigen wenigen Edelhölzern nach Finnland reiste. Vor Ort entstand die Plastik aus Holz, die dann in einem Zwischenguß in Bronze gefasst wurde. Ewald Mataré arbeitete die weitere Abstrahierung heraus, bis einige Merkmale des Tieres nicht nur reduziert wurden, sondern gar verschwanden. Einzuordnen ist das finnische Pferd noch bevor die Werke Matarés während des Nationalsozialismus als entartet galten. Ebenso noch bevor sich der Künstler religiös dominierten Themen und städtischen Auftragsarbeiten zuwandte: In den Jahren 1948-1956 erstellt er für die Stadt Köln vier Domportale, den Taubenbrunnen am Westportal, die Gürzenichtüren, die Lochner-Säule, das Mosaik am Alter Markt und weitere Arbeiten. Einerseits ehrt ihn dieses Vertrauen in seine Kunst, um das Stadtbild zu beeinflussen. Doch weiß Mataré auch um die schöne Zeit, in der er selbstständig und aus seinem Inneren heraus seine Tiere formte.Ewald Mataré (1887 Aachen - 1965 Büderich) (F)'Finnisches Pferd', 1929/30, bronze, brown patinated, 26,5 cm x 22 cm x 10,5 cm, signed in the cast, one of 14 copies in total, plinth bent, partially slightly scratched, underneath adhesive residues, Literature: Cat. Rais. Schilling 66bEwald Mataré was an important German sculptor and graphic artist who initially studied painting at the Berlin Art Academy with Lovis Corinth between 1907 - 1914 and turned to sculpture within the 1920s. Woodcuts and sculptural representations of animals are among the artistic-craftsmanship techniques that Mataré particularly valued. He reduced the animals' bodies to dimensional basic forms and took up the intellectual challenge of translating the anatomy of the animal into precisely these basic forms. The material chosen was predominantly wood, the natural grain of which the artist was able to emphasise through smooth surface polishing. Here, it must be pointed out that Mataré is not convinced of the activity description of carving - rather, it is said that as an artist he sculpted the animals out of a plastic thought. The artist himself describes his work on the animal figures in those years as a ''princely pleasure''. He elaborates on this in 1959 during a studio visit of the Göttingen Institute for Scientific Film. Mataré describes a happy time in which he simply formed his animals out of himself, without any purpose, without any necessity. He remembers himself as a single young man, who could decide for himself to go out into the countryside in summer, to the sea, to Spiekeroog, to Sylt and to Finland. Certainly, these depictions of animals are leaned on the oldest art-historical depictions of animals, which are preserved to this day, for example, as wall paintings made of pure earth pigments in the cave of Lascaux (France). Thousands of years old relics of art, that show the animal as a companion of man that is essential for survival, as an animal of prey, as a sacred animal and as a part of nature. The Finnish horse dates from 1929/1930, when the artist travelled to Finland with a few precious woods. On site, the sculpture was made of wood, which was then set in bronze in an intermediate casting. Ewald Mataré worked out the further abstraction until some features of the animal were not only reduced but even disappeared. The Finnish horse can be classified even before Mataré's works were considered degenerate during National Socialism. Likewise, even before the artist turned to religiously dominated themes and urban commissions: In the years 1948-1956, he created four cathedral portals, the dove fountain at the west portal, the Gürzenich doors, the Lochner column, the mosaic at Alter Markt and other works for the city of Cologne. On the one hand, this confidence in his art to influence the cityscape honours him. But Mataré also knows about the beautiful time when he formed his animals independently and from within himself.
Etel Adnan (Lebanon, 1925-2021)Thresholds mixed media on paper, leporello, booklet 22 pages signed, titled, inscribed, dedicated 'Thresholds' from 'Ghairi bisifat kaouni' to Charbel Dagher 2003 writing and drawing Etel Adnan Beiteddine 2003', executed in 200317.5 x 259.6cm (6 7/8 x 102 3/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collection, DubaiAgial Art Gallery, Beirut Formerly property from the collection of Dr Charbel DagherBonhams has the privilege of presenting one of Etel Adnan's most distinctive artistic creations. Threshold is one of Adnan's leporello works dedicated to and formerly in the collection of Dr Charbel Dagher. Adnan was influenced by Dr Dagher's thought-provoking poem 'Threshold' that explores the concept of boundaries and limits, both physical and metaphorical. Through its use of vivid imagery and metaphorical language, the poem suggests that everything in life has a threshold, and that these limits are an inherent part of the human experience. Here Adnan features transcripts of Dagher's poem and combines it with visual observations that are drawn using simple lines and bright colours conveying a sense of playfulness and spontaneity. The choice of the leporello format presented Adnan with a dynamic paradox: an expanded space, multiplying its potentialities as the pages unfurl but when closed, reduced to the symbolic space of a notebook, a metaphor for mobility and aesthetic nomadism. The term 'leporello' comes from the character of the same name in Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, who carries a long list of the protagonist's romantic conquests. Adnan's leporellos are a series of accordion-folded booklets that combine text and images, however, they are not lists but rather an exploration of memory, place, space and language. Other leporellos by Adnan also feature lavish illustrations of landscapes and transcriptions of Arab poetry by writers and poets including Mahmoud Darwish and Yusuf Al Khal as well as her own writing. Adnan's leporellos typically feature one continuous landscape or cityscape image that unfolds across the accordion folds, while the text accompanies the images, often in short poetic fragments. One of Adnan's most well-known leporellos is 'Mount Tamalpais Morning,' which depicts the Northern California mountain in bright blues, greens, and yellows, and features text that evokes the experience of being in nature. Other leporellos include 'Shoreline,' which portrays the coastline of the Mediterranean, and 'Journey to Mount Tamalpais,' which describes Adnan's drive to the mountain and features an image of the road winding through the landscape. Adnan's leporellos are intimate and personal works, reflecting her deep connection to place and her experience of the world. They invite the viewer to enter into Adnan's world and explore the relationship between image and text, landscape and memory, and the possibilities of the accordion fold format.-Dr Charbel Dagher-Dr Charbel Dagher is a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and educator. His poetry is known for its themes of identity, exile, love, and loss, and it often explores the complex relationship between the individual and society. Dagher's poems are characterized by their vivid imagery, emotional intensity, and lyrical language. He frequently employs metaphors and symbols to convey his ideas and feelings, and his use of sound and rhythm adds a musical quality to his work. Dagher's poetry is deeply personal and reflective, yet it speaks to universal themes and experiences. His work captures the complexity and beauty of the human experience, and his words resonate with readers across cultures and borders. One of Dagher's notable works is his collection of poems titled 'Anthems for the Unwanted,' which explores the experiences of refugees and immigrants. The collection highlights the struggles, hopes, and dreams of people who are often marginalized and silenced in society.-Threshold Poem-The poem Threshold begins with an image of a door, which represents a threshold or boundary between two spaces. The door is described as 'narrow' and 'barren,' suggesting that it is not particularly inviting or welcoming. This image sets the tone for the rest of the poem, which is concerned with the idea of limits and boundaries. The next few lines of the poem describe various physical thresholds, such as the point at which a river meets the sea and the place where the earth meets the sky. These images serve to emphasize the idea that everything in life has a limit or boundary. The poem then shifts to a more metaphorical exploration of thresholds. The speaker suggests that there are limits to what we can know and understand, and that these limits are like 'a wall we cannot breach.' This image suggests that there are some things that are simply beyond our comprehension, no matter how hard we try. The final lines of the poem suggest that even death itself is a threshold, a boundary that we cannot cross. The speaker suggests that death is like a door that we must all pass through eventually, and that it represents the ultimate limit or boundary.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
