Augustus John and his Galway Connections JOHN, Augustus, painter [1878-1961]. An attractive ink drawing of a nude woman, rear view, drying herself with her elbow on a pillar, signed lower right 'John', 9 ins x 7 ¼ ins, framed and glazed. With an autograph signed letter (2 pp, single sheet) from John (giving a Salisbury address, dated 'Friday'), to a Mr. Conroy, saying he spoke to Mr. McDonough about rooms [in Galway] but has heard nothing, and asking Conroy to make enquiries about the rooms, 'those behind the new dock .. If I had these rooms and got them simply furnished I would come over to Galway to do some work'.

Also with an autograph signed letter to John, March 1902, 1 pp, addressed from 'On the Veldt, Western Transvaal', from Tom McDonagh (probably one of the Galway merchant family). 'I am now trekking with Keirs Column .. under Walter Kitchener, in all I think we have about 20,000 men & and are in search for Boers .. I expect there will be a hell of a fight soon. I am with the field hospital. I expect this time they will collar De La Rey for we are after him .. Don't write, we may be away three months.' The letter in two portions, with tape stains at the separation. A most interesting collection, which effectively authenticates the drawing. Augustus John did stay in Galway for a time, and produced a major mural painting there; he also stayed at Coole with Robert Gregory. As a collection, w.a.f. (1)
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Vase Deux Anses Hautes, 1952, a white earthenware vase, painted in grey and black, from an edition of 400, impressed marks for Madoura, signed Editions Picasso, 38cm high Note: 'Vase with two high handles' was conceived as part of a series of ceramics designed by Picasso from the end of the 1940s. He worked at the Madoura works in Vallauris, southern France, run by Suzanne and Georges Ramie, and commissioned them to reproduce his designs which he formed over the subsequent 25 years. This 1952 edition represents a female figure, in Picasso's typically abstract style. The basic vase form is based on Classical examples, which Picasso reinvented using his painted design to turn the handles in to arms, the foot into feet and the neck into a head. This example hints towards Picasso's interest in tribal art and totemic figures, exemplified in his 1907 masterpiece Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, now in the MOMA, New York. Picasso's ceramic reinterpretation of the confident, nude female form, hands on hips, creates an assertive and striking composition. Note: Artist Resale Rights apply
