Gowing was introduced to the painter William Coldstream by W. H. Auden in 1936 (when both Auden and Coldstream were working for the GPO Film Unit), and became Coldstream’s pupil at 12 Fitzroy Street, London after enrolling in 1938. This became the home of the School of Drawing and Painting, set up by Coldstream, Claude Rogers, Victor Pasmore, and Graham Bell, and renamed the Euston Road School after moving premises later the same year. The School was closed by the advent of the second world war, and Gowing’s Quaker background and Bloomsbury connections led to his conscientious objection (he was given exemption from service on condition that he continued to paint!). By the end of the war Gowing himself began to teach at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, alongside Coldstream and Pasmore.A chance encounter with Robin Darwin, then Head of Fine Art at King’s College, Newcastle, led him to apply to be his replacement, and in 1948, aged only 30, Gowing was appointed to the post of Professor of Fine Art, a position he held until 1958. At Newcastle he oversaw dramatic changes in the teaching of art through Pasmore and Hamilton’s ‘basic course’, as well as leading on the development of Newcastle's Hatton Gallery permanent collection and exhibition programme. In 1959, Gowing became principal of the new Chelsea School of Art, under whose direction it became a model of art education: art history was integrated alongside studio practice with an option programme ranging across science, music, philosophy, and literature. Gowing resigned from Chelsea in 1965 in order to become keeper of the British collections and deputy director of the Tate Gallery. He also became a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery, and the British Museum, and was a member of the Arts Council of Great Britain. In 1978, he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy of Arts and made honorary curator of its collections in 1985. He travelled to the United States to serve as Kress Professor at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and was also curator of the Phillips Collection in Washington.Gowing was knighted in 1982 and made a chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, in France in 1985. He received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1980. Gowing made three BBC television programmes, titled Three Painters (1984, 1986, and 1987), on Massaccio, Vermeer, and Brueghel, Goya, Matisse, and Rembrandt, Turner, Giotto, and Cézanne. The present drawing is likely to date from the period of Pasmore's involvement with the Euston Road School, roughly from 1937 to 1947.

"Nude Draped in Blue Cloth" oil on canvas mounted on board. Provenance: Alexander Gallery, NY. A French painter, he was born into a peasant family in the Sundgau and received his first artistic training at Altkirch with Charles Goutzwiller (1810-1900) and later in Strasbourg in the studio of Gabriel-Christophe Guérin (1790-1846). In 1846 he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris as a pupil of Michel-Martin Drolling and, from 1851, of François-Edouard Picot. While a student he was particularly drawn to portraiture, and during his frequent visits to Alsace he made portraits of his family as well as of the notables of the region. He also painted scenes of Alsatian peasant life (e.g. Marie-Ann Henner Churning Butter, 1856; Paris, Mus. Henner). Although he painted history and portraits, he is probably best known for his prostrate nudes in dreamy landscapes rendered in murky chiaroscuro. Overall size: 34 x 29 1/2 in. Sight size: 23 x 19 1/2 in.

Red Grooms (b 1937) Amer, Hand colored lithograph. Elaborate work of art imploding with abstract expressionism featuring nude figures, buildings, police officers, golfers, fire fighters, artwork and more. Condition flaws, see images. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Red Grooms is known for whimsical sculptural tableaux and paintings, especially with circus themes. He works with all kinds of materials including paper, plaster, wood, found objects, and cardboard. About his work, he said he has "a giddy sense of reality." He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, and the New School of Social Research in New York. In Provincetown, Massachusetts, he was a student of Abstract Expressionist Hans Hoffman. In New York, he was a participant in "Happenings" or performance art, along with Jim Dine, Allan Kaprow, and Claes Oldenburg. For Grooms, this activity was an outgrowth of his interest in the pageantry of the circus, something that has intrigued him throughout his life. A successful full-time artist and resident of New York City, he has held visiting professorships in several universities. In 1999, he completed his largest project, which was The Tennessee Foxtrot Carousel in full scale in his home town of Nashville's Riverfront Park near the Grand Ole Opry House. The piece is decorated with scenes from Nashville's history and includes sculpted seats, painted dioramas and heroic figures such as Andrew Jackson and Davey Crockett. Overall size: 31 x 27 in.
