Dame Ethel Walker, British 1861-1951 - Portrait of a young girl, half-length; oil on canvas, 61.5 x 51 cm Provenance: Christie's, London, Modern British Paintings, Watercolours and Drawings, 27th April 1989, lot 160; private collection Note: with unidentified gallery stock label attached to the reverse of the stretcher and numbered 'X4381' (possibly Lefevre Gallery, London). This is classic example of Walker's style, with its subtle gradations of chalky paint and quiet, almost breathless atmosphere. Other works on this theme are in public collections including the Government Art Collection, the National Galleries of Scotland and The Courtauld, London. The artist exhibited widely in the UK during her lifetime and was the subject of a major retrospective at the Tate in 1951, alongside her contemporaries Gwen John and Frances Hodgkins and organised by John Rothenstein.

Sir William Orpen, KBE RA RHA,  Irish 1878-1931 -  Trying to Draw this Rabbit;  watercolour and ink on headed paper, annotated across bottom quarter and reverse of sheet, 33.3 x 20.3 cm  Provenance:  Pyms Gallery, London, stock no.L937 (label attached to the reverse of the frame)  Note:  Irish born Sir William Orpen was one of the most important artists working in early 20th century Britain and his work made while an Official War Artist in WWI are now considered amongst the most powerful paintings depicting war ever made. Orpen’s work was synonymous with the endeavours and achievements of Mary and Alan Hobart at Pyms Gallery, as they were instrumental in bringing about a reappraisal of his work in the late 20th century.

From their 1982 ‘The Irish Revival’, the Hobarts exhibited important Irish modern artists at their gallery in London, bringing these figures back to prominence. Orpen’s work was central to their private collection and was featured heavily in the exhibition ‘Championing Irish Art: The Mary and Alan Hobart Collection’ at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2023.

Daniel O'Neill, Irish 1920-1974 - Flotsam, Landscape Donegal; oil on board, titled on the reverse 'Landscape Donegal', 40.3 x 60.7 cm (ARR) Provenance: Sotheby’s, London, 20th Century British and Irish Art, 14th September 2005, lot 185; private collection, purchased from the above Note: Campbell was from a circle of Post-War Irish artists that worked in Conlig in the 1950s that included Gerald Dillon and George F. Campbell. The present work reflects the neo-romantic style that was prevalent in Britain and Ireland in the period, seen here in the heavy atmosphere of the landscape, reminiscent of the early work of John Minton and John Craxton. The colour palette of muddied browns, greens and blues suggest an eerie calm that settles on the landscape. Horizontal brush strokes emphasise the still water and sky, in a direct opposition to the scattered flotsam littered across the foreground which alludes to an unseen danger. The mounds of debris recall scenes from the trenches and ravaged fields of World War Two, deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of the post-war era. O’Neill became a full-time painter in 1945, having previously worked as an electrician on Belfast shipyard, and visited Paris in 1949. Here he was influenced by Maurice Vlaminck, Georges Roualt and Maurice Utrillo. In the following decade he moved to Conlig, Country Down, where a small group of artists had formed. These included George Campbell and Gerard Dillon. Some of his works were exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2005 as part of an exhibit on Northern Irish Artists. His work is held in Irish public collections including Ulster Museum and Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane, as well as the Laing Gallery and Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in the UK. His work was shown at the influential Victor Waddington Gallery in Dublin in 1946 and Arthur Tooth & Sons, London in 1952.

His works are now in the collection of Brighton & Hove Museums, Nottingham City Museums & Galleries and Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, where the pair had an retrospective in 1981. His abstract works show the shared influence of Blakeston, Zdzislaw Ruszkowski and Aubrey Williams.

Lot 173

Kenneth Hall,  British 1913-1946 -  Street scene; ink and watercolour on paper, 51.5 x 74.5 cm (ARR)  Note:  Basil Rákóczi (19081979) and his partner, Kenneth Hall (19131946), founded The White Stag Group of modernist artists in 1935. Influenced by Surrealism and founded in London, they moved to Ireland in late 1939, following the start of the Second World War. There the Group flourished, gaining both local and continental members, including Nano Reid and Patrick Scott. Rakoczi and Halls work brought a modernism to Dublin and they gained a sizeable and positive reputation for their work, which focused on psychological states and esoteric myth and symbols.Instrumental to both artists careers, was the influential dealer Lucy Wertheim, who ran a celebrated gallery in Mayfair during the 1930s, one of the spaces focused on young artists working in a Modern idiom. Wertheim promoted major figures such as Barbara Hepworth, Christopher Wood, Frances Hodgkins and Henry Moore at an early age, but she is perhaps most known for her support of a diverse group of lesser known artists, many of whom worked in either expressionistic or faux-naïve styles. An exhibition of Wertheims legacy 'A Life in Art & Reuniting the Twenties Group' has recently been on display at Towner Eastbourne, UK, including works by both Hall and Rákóczi.

He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life. Cardinal often used books as working tools, heavily annotating in the margins - as with many volumes in the current sale. The library offered reflects Cardinal’s varied interests and fluent command of French and German. Alongside a large collection of art reference works in his specialist subjects, we also find collections of books on fairy tales and science fiction.

A sense of scale, power and longevity is evoked by way of the generous application of paint using a palette knife characteristic of his practice, combined with his distinctive palette of greys, black and olive green.Williams explained in his 1998 book The Land and the Sea,‘Crib Goch is one of my favourite mountains. I like the way it seems to crouch, I like the variety of its shapes while further up the valley at Pen-y-pass I love the way it seems to rear into the sky like a Himalayan peak…Crib Goch is a fierce and crinkled ridge make up of a fine-grained volcanic lava which weathers to a rusty-brown colour that gives it its name of red ridge or crest. I especially love the jagged ridges and the thrusting peaks when there is a strong light behind them, for it is then that they emanate a power that is stimulating to me as a painter.’ By the time of his death in 2006, Williams held an unassailable position as the pre-eminent Welsh artist, having been elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1974 and receiving a knighthood in 1999. His work is held in many public collections, including paintings featuring Crib Goch held by the National Library of Wales, Gwynedd County Council, the Government Art Collection and Bangor University.

Ellen Starr Lyon Front Door Stripes, 2024 Gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Ellen Starr Lyon, b. 1974 in Columbus, Indiana. Lyon is a figurative painter focusing on modern portraiture that revolves around feminism, motherhood, and coming of age. Her naturalist painting style incorporates a colourful palette and multiple thin, luminous layers capturing her models in natural light. Lyon uses her own photography to catch unguarded moments that are translated into oil paintings showing glimpses of emotion on the faces of those around her. Lyon champions vulnerability as strength while showing it as our common language. Her Red Glove Series depicts her teenage daughter wearing bright red rubber gloves and a defiant expression to talk about the next generation's fight for reproductive rights. She has work in the permanent collection of the Evansville Museum, UC Irvine, and Indiana University. Lyon has been invited to the Pouch Cove Artist Residency in July of 2024.

Jen Orpin The Gate, 2025 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About The visual representations of landscapes in my paintings and the framed view from the car make up and form the basis of visceral memories and nostalgia, liminal spaces that occupy the landscape between the places and people that mean the most to us. The importance of these external landscapes is often mirrored by the internal dialogue of the driver and passenger with the confinements of the car at times offering an intimate confessional space. The mundanity of these every day actions often belies the truth of deep routed emotions that come with these well-travelled routes and connections to these familiar places. In these paintings I aim to portray this feeling, emotionalism is a key element in the success of each one and as a viewer you are forced to look down the road as its sole traveler and undertake each journey as your own.   Education 1993-1996 BA Hons in Fine Art, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK   1992-1993 Art Foundation, West Surrey College of Art and Design, UK   Solo Exhibitions 2024 We Left Nothing Behind, Union Gallery, London, UK A Navigation Of Memory, Jari Lager Gallery, Seoul, South Korea Art Busan, solo presentation, Jari Lager Gallery, South Korea 2023 The Journey Continues, Saul Hay Gallery, Manchester, UK 2022 Thirteen Bridges, London Modern, Waltham Forest Town Hall, London, UK 2021 The Manchester Modernist Society, Silent Cursors Punctuated Journeys, Manchester, UK   Group Exhibitions 2025 London Art Fair, Saul Hay Gallery, UK A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck, BLOC Projects, Sheffield, UK Journeys, Taylor-Jones & Son, Deal, UK Rolling Action...Paint!, Jari Lager Gallery, Vestfossen, Norway 2024 Here is My Favourite Place, Jari Lager Gallery, Seoul, UK London Art Fair.

Nadia Ferrante Sorority Series n2 (study), 2024 Oil on paper COA Included 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Nadia Ferrante is a contemporary figurative artist, born and raised in Italy. She tries to explore the various facets of the human soul and behaviours in modern society. Fascinated by the human figure and its shape in space, by facial expressions and its representations. She works mainly with dry pastels, oil colours, charcoal, graphite and sanguine.   Education My artistic education is almost exclusively self-taught. I attended a two-year private drawing and composition course with two teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome during my adolescence.   Group Exhibitions 2025 BFF Modern portraits, Palm Beach Design and Showroom, Lake Worth, Florida 2024 Feminism, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery and 33PA, Online Eros, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery and 33PA, Online Micro, Artsy with 33PA and 33 contemporary Gallery, Online The British Art Prize, OXO gallery, London, England Love, Artsy with 33PA and 33 contemporary Gallery, Online 2023 Retro, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery, Online Mujer 2023, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery, Online Self as self, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery, Online Al and me, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery and 33PA, Online NOAPS, Online Contemporary miniature nudes, Artsy with 33 contemporary Gallery and 33PA, Online   Awards Grand prize People and figures, International Artist Magazine, first place. Finalist at the British Art Prize 2024   Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 1: Sorority, Study In this work I wanted to resume the narrative of female freedom from the impositions of patriarchy, already addressed in my work SORORITY, represented by the red ribbon that tightly encircles the wrist of the female hand depicted in the work.   2: Loneliness In this work I wanted to represent, with the three-color technique, in earth tones, the loneliness of the human being in this modern society, a theme very dear to me and which I often address. The faceless woman from behind is all of us women. I have developed the technique over time and it is particularly dear to me.   3: Study of a female head (neck) In this work I wanted to represent what fascinates me the most, the shape of the human body in space and all the compositions it can assume, particularly the female one. The charcoal technique is simple, atavistic, but powerful at the same time, because with a single color you can realize every nuance of reality.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.
