Y Derek Balmer PPRWA, Hon. RA (British, b. 1934)Andalucia, 1992/94Oil on canvasUnsignedInscribed with name, title and date to back of canvasFramed Derek Balmer was born in London in 1934. His professional art education began in Bristol when he was admitted, aged 15 in 1950, to the West of England College of Art, then situated within the Royal West of England Academy, an institution of which he was later to become President. He was then apprenticed to a photo-litho firm in Bristol, working as a photographer. Art studies at the College continued via evening classes and at 21. He had a painting accepted for exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy where he has exhibited every year since. Group and solo shows followed at the Finbarrus Gallery in Bath (1958/9). Balmer established himself as an independent photographer and friendships drew him into the active theatre scene in Bristol in the 60’s that centred round the Bristol Old Vic under Sir Tyrone Guthrie. Balmer was appointed official photographer to the company in 1961, a position he held for the next 28 years. Despite the demands of his professional photographic career, Balmer continued to paint, travelling widely in Southern Europe to look at painting, architecture and sculpture. His work, initially influenced by Graham Sutherland, soon developed a strongly colouristic, expressive quality, his largely landscape-inspired subjects of the 1960s and 1970s being treated in an increasingly semi-abstract manner. His influences drew on a wide range of sources – Pierre Bonnard, Peter Lanyon, John Hoyland and American abstract expressionists like Gorky and de Kooning among others. By the time he had his first solo show at the Arnolfini Gallery in 1968, he had however arrived at an intensely personal style of his own. During the 1970s, Balmer sought to make a success of his photographic business and support his young family, largely withdrawing from exhibiting his work other than at the Royal West of England Academy where he had become an Associate member in 1955. By the 1980s, his work had gained in expressive richness and confidence and Balmer started putting his work into a wider variety of exhibitions. By the early 1990s, having given up his photographic business, he became involved in the Royal West of England Academy affairs, in 1993 being elected to the Academy Council, then becoming Academicians’ Chairman and President in 2001. A major retrospective of his work, entitled 'President's Eye', was held at the Academy in 2007.Measures approx. 95cm x 110cm including frame
Cortes (Spain, b. 1963)Untitled Sailing boatsOil on canvasSigned bottom rightUnmounted & unframedCortés is a Spanish artist born in Valencia in 1963. He began law studies in his hometown, which he abandoned to devote himself exclusively to the Fine Arts. Cortés is a self-taught artist who initially came to painting with a desire to capture with his hands the innumerable natural beauties of coastal Spain and more specifically the landscapes of Valencia, the lagoon, and its beaches. A tireless traveler, over the years he has been collecting and saving images of all the cities he has visited such as Paris, Italy, Amsterdam, Casablanca, and Istanbul to later incorporate them in a very personal and free way into his paintings in oil, generically titled “Broken Landscapes” by the pictorial technique used, mainly with a palette knife. These have an impressionist style, with a range of very neutral and elegant colours that create an atmosphere in his intimate paintings. More recently, Cortés has brought his technique into a bolder, brighter, and more contemporary genre of sailing – full of energy and dynamism. He has participated in collective and private exhibitions, obtaining great admiration for the way he handles oil paint, a favourite material that very few landscape painters manage to master with the simplicity which he shows. We are thrilled to present Cortés’s vibrant sailing scenes at The Original Art Shop.Measures approx. 89.5cm x 89.5cm (35" x 35")

Artist: Henri Fantin-Latour [imputée] (French, 1836 - 1904). Title: "Nature morte: fleurs veloutées". Medium: Oil on canvas. Date: Composed 1891. Dimensions: Frame size: 34 x 39 3/16 in. (864 x 995 mm). Image size: 23 3/8 x 29 in. (594 x 737 mm).Pricing: Starting Price: $2,400 Reserve Price: N.A. Auction Sale Price Estimate: $3,000/4,000Lot Note(s): Signed and dated, upper right. Painting condition: Very good overall; as found, unconserved, not relined; various areas of “spider thread” craquelure; uneven varnish application; several minor “reverse dimples” in the canvas; the canvas with minor sagging; gentle and minor stretcher bar telegraphing; blacklight examination reveals no defects; signature contemporary to the painting. Frame: Period gilt and gesso ornate frame, quite possibly the original – on the inside of the fillet, center right, is written in script “peinture fleurs;” scattered losses to the gesso; extremely well made. Stretcher: Original stretcher with centre-bar, nails preserved, stamped “F. DUPRÉ/ 141 Faubourg Saint-Honoré/ Au coin de la Rue de Berri, PARIS”. Comment(s): Fantin-Latour is best known for his classically restrained and painstakingly detailed floral compositions. Our example is perhaps as “impressionistic” a floral painting as one could find by his hand. His ebullience is apparent in his rapid brushstrokes and use of color. Perhaps he felt less constrained due to the sheer size of this canvas since it, while not huge, is unusually large for him and perhaps twice as much so as the average size of his floral works. A search of his auction records for the past ten years finds only two sales of floral oil paintings of similar size to our example (23 3/8” x 29”): “Roses tremieres,” 29 1/16” x 23 ¾”, sold for £842,500 ($1,303,770) at Christie’s London, King Street, February 4, 2014, lot #42; and “Panier de fleurs,” the larger of the two at 24 ½” x 31 5/8”, sold for $1,205,000 at Christie’s New York, Rockefeller Center, May 14/15, 2015, lot #34C. He was born Ignace Henri Jean Théodore Fantin-Latour. [18435-10-2400-NA]

Provenance: Private collection, Mexico City, from a noted and scholarly collector of ex-votos/retablos. Comment(s): An ex-voto is a votive offering to a saint or to a divinity; the term is usually restricted to Christian examples. It is given in fulfillment of a vow or gratitude or devotion. A retablo is a devotional painting, especially a small popular or folk art one using iconography derived from traditional Catholic church art. [30304-0-400-NA]

Maud Lewis (1903-1970) Canadian The bride Signed, oil on beaverboard, 23cm by 30cmWe are grateful to Alan Deacon and Ian Muncaster for their assistance in authenticating this work. Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was a Canadian folk artist and remains one of Canada’s best-loved artistic figures. Living in poverty for most of her adult life, she painted joyous, nostalgic and vibrant pictures of rural life in her Nova Scotia home. Maud Lewis, nee Dowley, was born into a middleclass family in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Her father was a blacksmith and owned a harness shop, but despite relative affluence Maud’s childhood was not easy. She suffered from Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, resulting in severely sloping shoulders, curvature of the spine and a recessed chin; Lewis spent much of her life in pain. Her mother, however, had an artistic nature, and taught Maud to paint Christmas cards which they would sell. After her parents died in the mid-1930s, Maud had no resources and went to live with her aunt in Digby, Nova Scotia. After seeing an advert for a live-in housekeeper 40-year-old bachelor Everett Lewis had placed, Maud turned up on his doorstep in nearby Marshalltown. Whilst apparently the pair did not hit it off immediately, a few days later Maud returned to his house and stated that she would not be his housekeeper but would be his wife. The pair married in 1938, and Maud moved into the tiny 4.2m x 3.8m house, with one-room and sleeping loft, where they would live for the rest of their lives, with no running water or electricity. Everett was a fish peddler, and Maud began accompanying him on his rounds, selling the Christmas cards she painted. Soon, Everett gave Maud her first set of oil paints, and they began selling her paintings too, all for very modest prices. Due to her ailments, Maud could not find employment, and indeed Everett even took over all domestic duties whilst Maud turned their little house into her studio and painted industriously – including every surface in their home. When Everett gained more stable employment, Maud put up a sign and sold her paintings from their home, which was on the side of the highway. Neighbours and tourists soon began flocking to purchase her colourful work but determined not to raise prices and put off buyers, the pair continued to live in poverty. Working on a small scale due to her limited mobility, Maud painted on cheap materials, such as a pulpboard used in the building trade known as beaverboard, and later ready-cut Masonite. After painting the board with a white ground, she would draw on an outline and then apply paint straight from the tube without mixing or blending. Maud focussed on a set range of subjects, mostly derived from memories of childhood and her surroundings in Nova Scotia before the onset of modernity; cats, deer and oxen, landscapes and depictions of harbour scenes, horse-drawn carts and sleighs. Nostalgic, yet optimistic, her works a happy simplicity with a touch of humour. Her most popular subjects were painted again and again, with minor variations, such as the present example Sandy Cove. This was one of only a select few subjects she painted across three decades. Sandy Cove is located on a long peninsular in the Bay of Fundy, not far from the Lewis’ home in Marshalltown. The other work up for sale, The Bride, is a more unusual subject for the artist, with far fewer variations known. Coming to the attention of a journalist, Maud became the subject of a radio documentary and subsequently a newspaper article in the mid-1960s. Her work captured the attention of the nation, and she achieved widespread recognition. However, with only limited ability to paint, she struggled to keep up with orders, and resolutely refused to charge more for her paintings, despite the likes of a staff member at the Whitehouse during Nixon’s presidency requesting more of Lewis's works to add to his collection. Today, her work is represented in museums and galleries around the world, with a large collection being found in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Following her death from pneumonia in 1970s and Everett’s death in 1979, a permanent memorial was erected on the site of their home. Having captured the nations hearts, Maud’s life would become the subject of books, plays, and three films. Covered in a layer of surface dirt. Tiny loss to the left of the bottom edge within a lily pad and a slight indentation to the right of this to the lily pad centre of bottom edge. Slight scratch/indent approx 2cm within the green of the tree upper left corner. Minor scratch between the man's legs and a minor scratch within the rope he is pulling. Tiny white areas in places, for example to the right of the second tree trunk upper right corner, above the dog's nose to the blue, by design? See images.

From "Merlin and Vivien," the sixth poem in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King.". [27887-10-24000-NA]
