Artist: Mario Sironi (Italian, 1885-1961). Title: "Camion e Fabbrica". Medium: Mixed media drawing on paper. Date: Composed c1940-1941. Dimensions: Overall size: 6 11/16 x 8 1/2 in. (170 x 216 mm).

Condition: overall good; small pencil sketch, verso; trimmed irregularly on the left margin; small "x" shape tear repaired with tape, verso; hinging tape, verso; very small (1/8") marginal tear, lower center; text verso, which roughly translated states "All: The Knight Excellency Benito Mussolini, the Duce of Fascism, Head of Government, I have the honor of presenting you the Italian Statistical Yearbook 1940 XVIII, which, by reason of the state of war, only contains the chapters, the publication of which is promulgated under the 23rd Decree of 5 October 1933, XI, number 1722. Rome, 14th July 1940, year XVIII. The President, Institute of Central Statistics, Franco Savorgnan.". Comment(s): This drawing is a prime example of Sironi's signature work, characterized by massive, immobile, often somber forms, which he excelled at during the 1930s and early 1940s. A supporter of Mussolini, his esthetic of brutal monumentality represented the dominant style of Italian Fascism. He was an Italian modernist artist who was active as a painter, sculptor, illustrator, and designer. During his lifetime Sironi exhibited internationally. It is possible that the cellular style of his compositions exhibited in the US during the 1930s influenced WPA muralists. In the postwar years, Sironi fell from favor due to his earlier association with Fascism, and was accorded little attention from art historians. A revival of interest in Sironi's work began in the 1980s, when his work was featured in major exhibitions, notably 'Les Réalismes' at the Centre Georges Pompidou (1981) and 'Italian Art in the Twentieth Century' at the Royal Academy, London (1989).

Norman Stansfield Cornish MBE (1919-2014) Street scene with horse and cart Signed, mixed media, 20cm by 27.5cm Born in 1919 in Oxford Street, Spennymoor, Norman Cornish began working in the mines in 1933. Not long after he was accepted as a member of the Spennymoor Settlement, at just age 15. It was here that he met the author Sid Chaplin and later fellow mining artist Tom McGuinness. The resident warden of the Settlement Bill Farrell encouraged Cornish to "paint the life he knew".Cornish's paintings offer an insight into everyday life in his home town of Spennymoor and the mines, capturing scenes of places and an industry that no longer remain. The characters he painted are real people he knew and those who belonged to the mining heritage locally. There was a time when Sid Chaplin expressed concerns over Norman's unvarying subject matter stating, "I've often been irritated by his seeming lack of enterprise, his lack of interest in anything but Spennymoor". However, this unerring dedication to his subject reveals and provides an intimate rendition of the industrial and social history of the North East. Slight cockling to the paper throughout. Slight time staining/oxidisation to the exposed areas of the paper. Muted palette by design. Some light surface dirt and debris trapped under the glass. Small brown mark to the right of the lower edge of the mount. Not examined out of the frame. The odd minor chip and knock to the frame.

Dame Eileen Rosemary Mayo DBE (1906-1994) "Circular Quay Sydney" (1964) Signed, mixed media, 43cm by 61.5cm (unframed) Provenance: Riverhouse Galleries, Brisbane, Australia Literature: "Shifting Boundries, The Art of Eileen Mayo", thesis, by Margaret Jillian Cassidy, no.154 We are grateful to Peter Vangioni, Curator, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, New Zealand for his assistance in catagloguing this piece. Dame Eileen Mayo was a multi-talented artist; a printmaker, painter, illustrator, designer and author whose long career spanned the globe from England to Australasia, yet she never lost the primary focus of her creativity - depicting the natural world.As a young artist, she began establishing herself in London, and after training supplemented her income by modelling for notable British artists such as Duncan Grant, Dod Procter, Vanessa Bell and Laura Knight who helped her secure her first commissions. Indeed, one of Knight’s extraordinary portraits of her, “The Maiden”, sold at Tennants in 2015 for £33,000. With such illustrious friends and mentors, Mayo soon made a name for herself, particularly as a print maker, and became a significant part of the British art scene in the 1930s and 1940s.However, a divorce in 1952 sparked a major change for the artist. Following her father’s death in 1921, Mayo’s mother and sister had emigrated to New Zealand, and by the early 1950s her sister was living in Sydney. After her divorce, Mayo emigrated to Sydney, where she became a key member in Australia’s artistic reinvigoration. With a pressing need for money, Mayo taught at the National Art School and focused on commercial commissions, producing a body of work that included an iconic set of poster designs for the Australian National Travel Association and sets of stamps featuring the country’s flora and fauna.In 1962 Mayo moved to New Zealand. As she settled into her new home, she worked on a painting, "Warehouses, Sydney" (1963), based on drawings she had made of the old sandstone warehouses along the eastern side of Sydney Cove. The painting was later reproduced as a card for the Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP), whose headquarters were in one of the new modern buildings that sprung up around the quay in the 1960s. According to a record in the National Library, Wellington, Mayo also designed the front cover of the AMP’s 1964 magazine which depicted four warehouses on Circular Quay, which had been demolished to make way for the building of a tower for the British Tobacco Co. (Australia) Ltd.The present work, “Circular Quay, Sydney” (1964) was sold by the Riverhouse Galleries in Brisbane but its whereabouts was lost, and it was listed in Margaret Jillian Cassidy’s thesis "Shifting Boundaries, The Art of Eileen Mayo" as location unknown.Sydney Cove was the site of the landing of the First Fleet in 1788 and was the point from which Sydney grew. The first wharfs were built in 1792, and Circular Quay (originally called Semi-Circular Quay) was constructed between 1837 and 1844 to become the central port for the city. As the city outgrew the cove, it was converted to a passenger ferry hub, and from the 1950s the stone warehouses were replaced with modernist buildings and the first skyscrapers in Sydney.In 1965 Mayo moved to Christchurch, where she would live for the rest of her life. She taught at the University of Canterbury, and served on the Print Council of New Zealand, all the while producing work that combined her sense of colour harmony, eye for design and in-depth research into her subject. Mayo had devoted her life to art, and continued to work until 1985, when arthritis overcame her. She was made a Dame in 1994 for services to art, just days before her death. Today, Mayo’s work is once more coming to prominence, and a major exhibition of her work was held in 2019 at the Christchurch Art Gallery. The work is unframed. Some light surface dirt. Slight surface scratch to the right of the cream arch on the second building from the left, the odd minor superficial surface scratch to the sky. Upper left of top edge to the left of the palm tree, extreme right of top edge between the palm tree and the corner approx 3cm. Some minor losses to the outer edges, perhaps were an old frame has rubbed? Slight crease to lower right corner. Small scratch to the brown centre of left edge. Small brown spot upper right of the sky to the right of the orange building's roof. See images.

There is some minor surface soiling middle left, else just very nice. Comment(s): Works by Golovin of this caliber are rare. Aleksandr Golovin studied at the Moscow College of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture initially as a student of architecture and later as a painter. He lived and worked in Moscow as an interior painter, furniture designer and decorator tradesman, and in 1900, in collaboration with Konstantin Korovin, he designed the interior décor of the Russian Empire pavilion at the Paris World’s Fair. Golovin moved to St. Petersburg in 1901, where he worked prominently as a stage designer until the Russian Revolution of 1917. He was the leading designer for the theaters in St. Petersburg at this time, and an important contributor to the legendary Ballets Russes, which commissioned the most esteemed choreographers, dancers, musicians and stage designers of the era, including Natalia Gontcharova, Mikhail Larionov, Marc Chagall, George Braques, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. Please note: this work is being exhibited in an exhibition frame and is being sold unframed. [18217-4-6000-NA]

JAMES MORRISON MCCLERY (SCOTTISH 1924 - 1969), FOUR MIXED MEDIA PICTURES including three watercolours and a mixed media, each depicting landscapes each mounted, framed and under glassthe largest 39cm x 47cmQty: 4Note: James Morrison McChlery, known as ‘Morris’, was born in 1924 in the west end of Glasgow. He was educated at Hillhead High School and Glasgow Academy. During the war, he began to paint seriously and trained himself in watercolours and oils. He was inspired by a wide range of painters, including the Impressionists, abstract artists such as Miro and Klee, and the Scottish Colourists. After the war he established links with other artists in and around Glasgow, including Alan Fletcher, Bet Low, Margaret Oliver Brown, Pierre Lavale, and others. In particular, he became a good friend and protégée of the colourist J. D. Fergusson, who returned to Scotland after the war with his wife Margaret Morris intending to support the development of the arts in Scotland. Fergusson was the active patron of the ‘New Scottish Group’ of young artists, and Morris was the secretary for several years, organising exhibitions and sales with other artists. They were the first people to hang pictures for sale on the railings of the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow, which was remembered for years and which is still revived from time to time He sketched and painted constantly, abroad and in Scotland. To make a living he joined the family firm of James, Morrison, McChlery & Co, auctioneers and valuers, who traded from the Crown Halls in Sauchiehall Street. During his work there he developed his knowledge and expertise, and reputation, in art and objects d’art, in which prosperous Glasgow families were well endowed.Before his untimely death in a car accident in 1969, Morris, produced a huge body of work of great variety: studies of industrial post-war Glasgow, glowing Scottish landscapes, vibrant impressionistic still lifes, and diverse abstracts.
