 POTTER BEATRIX: (1866-1943) English Author & Illustrator of children's books featuring animal characters including Peter Rabbit. A fine illustrated A.L.S., Beatrix Heelis, one page, small 4to, Castle Cottage, Sawrey, Ambleside, 9th January 1943, to Margaret Douglas ('My dear Hetty'). Potter commences 'Spot looks a sensible dog and very well set up on his legs, and strong enough to take care of himself', continuing to observe 'He looks a very suitable dog, for guard and company. A good broad chest - and a pleasing face - well marked', further commenting 'Tell him I approve of him and I approve of his whiskers!' and remarking 'I hope you won't clip him into an object when he is middle aged and stout?' At this point in her letter Potter has added an original ink drawing in her hand of Spot, depicting the long bearded dog looking rather handsome and pleased with himself as he gently walks along. In concluding Potter writes 'We were glad to hear that you and Ina are getting on all right. It's unpleasant weather - an awfully wild night…..but pleasantly surprised to see no worse snow, and thawing a bit. The roads are like glass. With love & all good wishes for New Year…..'. A charming letter, enhanced by Potter's original drawing, and quite desirable for it's discussion of Spot. Some extremely light, very minor age wear to the edges, not affecting the text or signature, VG   Margaret 'Hetty' Douglas was the niece of Mrs. Bertram Potter (Mary Welsh Scott, who had married Beatrix Potter's brother in November 1902).   The present letter would appear to be unpublished and is not included in Beatrix Potter's Letters a selection edited by Judy Taylor (1989)

So auch für das hier präsentierte Blatt. Jedoch nicht die Weite des Ozeans wählt er hier zum Bildsujet, sondern eine Ansicht der Stadt - ein ebenfalls beliebtes Bildthema des Künstlers. In seinem charakteristischen Stil skizziert Feininger die Architektur mittels kristallinen Strukturen und lässt durch seine dynamisch gesetzten Federstriche und Pinselzüge das gesamte Bildgefüge höchst lebendig werden. Durch die Braun- und Ockertöne der Häuser und das Blau des Himmels erwirkt er ein stimmungsvolles Bild, das uns die Sommerwärme in der Stadt erspüren lässt. Mit dem Spiel von Licht und Schatten verleiht er dem Werk darüber hinaus etwas Geheimnisvolles, fast schon Spannendes. So führt ein Weg aus der Hitze der Stadt zu einer Biegung, die unsere Neugier nährt - was wird uns hinter dieser Ecke wohl erwarten?.

Provenienz:- Unternehmenssammlung DeutschlandBis zu seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 2006 im Alter von 41 Jahren führte Rhoades einen kontinuierlichen Angriff auf ästhetische Konventionen. Er konzipierte seine Arbeiten im Rahmen eines laufenden Projekts, in dem die Installationen kontinuierlich verändert und ergänzt wurden. In Hamburg realisierte Rhoades 1999 eine große Installation mit dem Titel Perfect World, bei der ein monumentales Gerüst eine mit großen Löchern durchsetzte Holzplattform trug, durch die unterhalb drapiertes Material sichtbar wurde. Rhoades verglich die Plattform mit dem Garten Eden, der prekär über der Hölle schwebte. Diese Zeichnungen sind ein Tagebuch der Installation und enthalten Diagramme, Skizzen, Fantasien und Telefonnummern. Die Plexiglasrahmen sind integraler Bestandteil der Arbeit und reflektieren Farbe an der Wand in einem subtilen Bezug zu den Minimal Artists wie Donald Judd oder Dan Flavin.

Centre top, ''an occasional monologue spoken by Mr Garrick the last time of his performing towards increasing a fund for the relief of those who from their infirmities shall be obliged to retire from the stage''.

Whistler (Rex) Engravings...for Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels Printed from the Original Plates, Introduction by Anthony Rota, out-of series copy (not for sale) from an edition limited to 100 copies on hand-made paper, this one of 26 unnumbered copies with one of the original copper plates, engraved title-vignette and 25 engraved sheets comprising 12 plates, 5 maps, 4 head- & 4 tail-pieces by Rex Whistler, the 12 plates hand-coloured, loose as issued, with copper plate in recessed panel inside rear board and printer's original paper wrapping featuring the engraving mounted inside front board (soiled), a little oxidisation to plate and loose from panel, together in original half viridian morocco drop-back box, slight fading to spine, large 4to, Harrison's for H.M.Fletcher, 1970. ⁂ Whistler's illustrated version of Swift's Gulliver's Travels was his magnum opus, first published by the Cresset Press in 1930 with 195 copies on hand-made paper and 10 on vellum, and one of the most magnificent English illustrated books of the 20th century. It was apparently inspired by Richard Bentley's Designs for Six Poems by Mr T.Gray of 1753 and Whistler drew the illustrations within elaborate rococo frames, each one different, many reflecting his love of Baroque architecture. He spent months on the detailed pen and ink drawings; according to his brother Laurence he sat up all night drawing one wheatsheaf. The original copper plates were bought by bookseller H.M.Fletcher who issued this suite of the illustrations in 1970.The copper plate is for 'He cuts with his knife the cables that fasten the anchors, receiving above two hundred shots in his face and hands', from the Voyage to Lilliput.
