Michel Buylen is anything but a conventional artist. Aided by acrylic, he succeeds in retranslating life, in all its diversity and nuances, enriching it with his own vision.'

Ivon Hitchens (British, 1893-1979)Painted Nude: Dark Hair signed and dated 'HITCHENS/73' (verso); further signed, inscribed and dated again ''Painted Nude: Dark Hair'/1973/Presented to David Steen Esq. July 1977./by his friend Ivon Hitchens-' (on the stretcher)oil on canvas40.6 x 86.3 cm. (16 x 34 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, by whom gifted to David Steen, thence by descent to the present ownersPrivate Collection, U.K.The present work was given by the artist to the photographer David Steen (1936–2015). During his long career from the late 1950s onwards Steen focused his camera on film stars, rock stars, prime ministers, a few criminals and countless men, women and children going about their everyday lives. The obituaries paid tribute: 'One of Fleet Street's most celebrated photographers...' (The Telegraph); 'Acclaimed for his portraits of cultural icons' (The Times). In the sweltering summer of 1976, Steen was commissioned by The Sunday Times Magazine to photograph Ivon Hitchens at his home near Petworth, West Sussex. The painter and photographer hit it off. Hitchens was photographed indoors and outdoors, at lunch, with his wife Mollie and, naturally, at work, there at the easel, a brush in each hand. Steen remembered that Hitchens reacted to the call of a bird flying above, and registered the note with a brushstroke on the canvas. When Steen left, he did so with a copy of Alan Bowness's Ivon Hitchens monograph inscribed by the painter, 'In memory of a very enjoyable day here from 10am to 4.30pm...' The following day Hitchens wrote to Steen. 'We much enjoyed having you...' and then: 'Please keep the attractions of this place – if any – to your own private concerns. You would be doing us a grave disservice if you divulged the address to all and sundry. There are always too many distractions and – in these times – too few 'clients' as such, and both take up precious painting time and daylight, with tiresome letter writing.' Hitchens signed off, 'We hope to see you again some day.' They did indeed meet again and stayed in touch. In the summer of 1977, Steen visited Hitchens at his home and was presented with this oil on canvas, Painted Nude: Dark Hair. The shots featured in The Sunday Times Magazine on 9th April 1978, shortly after the painter turned 85.We are grateful to Peter Khoroche for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Quamrul Hassan (Bangladeshi, 1921-1988)Untitled (Bathing) signed and dated 'Quamrul Hasan' 1958 lower right and B/7 Dacca lower leftwoodcut, framed63.7 x 46cm (25 1/16 x 18 1/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist's Family Collection.ExhibitedExhibited in the National Museum of Bangladesh in 2012.PublishedSyed Azizul Huq, Quamrul Hassan, Bangladesh, 2003, p.101.'Modernist art in Bangladesh began with the arrival, after the Partition of India in 1947, of a group of artists trained at the Calcutta Art School. These artists established an art school in Dacca. With the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, modernist art in the country came into its own and became progressively more experimental, especially with its turn towards the contemporary.' (A.K.M. Khademul Haque, 20th Century Indian Art: Modern, Post-Independence, Contemporary, United Kingdom, 2022, pg. 620) Quamrul 'Potua' Hassan was born in Kolkata and studied art at the Calcutta Government Art School. Whilst studying he partook in numerous social and political activities delaying his graduation by three years. These political and social activities however were not short lived. Instead, they proved to be his lifelong endeavour and their stories featured heavily in his works. Whilst studying for his degree for example he was part of the Forward Block, the anti-fascist Writers and Artists Union, Peoples Theatre Movement and the Bratachari movement; the latter was a movement started with a view to re-establishing the heritage of Bengalis as a rejection and expression of resistance against British colonial rule. It was here that he came across potuas (folk artists) and the traditional pata artists of Bengal. He was attracted to the simplicity of their works, which included their use of basic colours and the spontaneity of their line drawings. Similarly, he was attracted to the art and aesthetics of Jamini Roy (1889-1972) and Nanda Lal Bose (1882-1966), two other artists who propagated traditional art. Despite his admiration for folk arts, he was not immune to the works of Picasso and Matisse, and they too impacted him greatly. Potuas visual language therefore is derived from the marriage between the styles of the East and the West.After graduating he taught art at the Fine Arts Institute, but subsequently left to join the Design Centre where he embarked on a career which focussed on the development and promotion of folk arts and crafts. While working here, he was able to observe the handicrafts and cottage industries of Bangladesh, which further enriched his own works. Over a career spanning decades, Potua is known for his works which synthesise the cubist style with folk forms and depict scenes of intimacy between women and nature and those that comment on political turmoil. In 2012, the National Museum of Bangladesh held an exhibition of his works to commemorate his 90th birth anniversary. The works offered in this auction were all part of that exhibition and come from the collection of the artist's only child, his daughter.In this work, the woman is drying her hair and her water vessel can be seen to the lower right. This work, along with other notable works from this phase which include 'Bathing in a pond for amusement' (pencil, 1962), 'Loneliness' (watercolour, 1962) and 'Bath' (oil, 1966) all featured women in the same posture. The composition is powerful owing to its simplicity. Potua merges traditional Bengali art and their scenes with cubism to create a work that is unmistakably characteristic of his style. This work comes from the second phase of his life where he portrayed women based on his family life, marriage and the birth of his daughter (1961). During this time, he depicted the nude female form and focussed on their inner beauty and emotions.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
Anjolie Ela Menon (India, B.1940)Crow signed Anjolie Ela Menon '20 lower right and edition 24/100 lower leftserigraph in 12 colours on paper, framed33.6 x 26.4cm (13 1/4 x 10 3/8in).image size (in) 12 x 9.5Footnotes:ProvenanceArcher Graphic Studio, Ahmedabad.Born in Burnpur, Bengal, Menon studied at the Sir JJ. School of Art in Bombay, obtained a degree in English literature from Delhi University, and subsequently went to Paris where she studied Frescos at the École des Beaux-Arts. Influenced by Modigliani, Husain and Shergil, she is known primarily for her figurative works, in which she developed the distinctive features of early Christian art, in particular that of the frontal perspective, the slight body elongation and the averted head, but focussed on the female nude as her protagonist. In her later works she features black crows, as in the present lot, hidden figures, empty chairs and windows. These symbols that she has come to be known for arise from the mundane rather than the heroic. The repetition of these motifs have elevated them to a symbolic status, and these every day objects or in this case bird, contextualised or used as an embellishment tells its on story, which is Menon's story. Her works have been exhibited worldwide are kept as part of the collections of the Peabody Essex Museum, Massachusetts, the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco and the National Gallery of Modern Art. Her most recent retrospective titled, Anjolie Ela Menon: A Retrospective was held in 2017 at Aicon Gallery. Prior to that the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai held her retrospective in 2002 which then travelled to Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi. She is the recipient of the Padma Shree (2000), India's fourth highest civilian honour.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

(2)Presented in the artist's original frames.Footnotes:Born in Italy in 1873, Jules Pierre Van Biesbroeck was the son of the painter Jules Evarist Van Biesbroeck. The family re-settled in Ghent when Jules was two, and like his father, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, exhibiting his first painting at the age of just 14. On his Salon debut in 1888, Van Biesbroeck created a scandal with his large scale work, Le lancement d'Argos, which depicted nude figures, which had to be covered with drapery in order to be shown. Despite this, the young artist received 'special mention'.Van Biesbroeck was recognised for both his painting and sculpture, receiving awards and recognition throughout his career, as well as regular commissions. He was chosen to represent Belgium at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. Fleeing Belgium on the onset of the First World War, the artist settled in Bordighera in Northern Italy.Van Biesbroeck's first exposure to Orientalism came with a visit to North Africa in 1926, followed by a visit to Algeria in 1927, which radically altered the artist's style. The artist lived and worked in Algiers from 1929-1938, establishing a studio, 'La Volière', which became famous throughout the city.In 1938 Van Biesbroeck returned to Ghent where he remained until his death in 1965.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
