* DONALD MORRISON BUYERS RSW (SCOTTISH 1903 - 2003), ABSTRACT SCULPTURE IN GARDEN watercolour on paper, signed and dated '80 framed and under glass image size 74cm x 56cm, overall size 78cm x 60cm Note: Donald Buyers studied at Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen from 1948-51. Soon after graduating he was employed as an art therapist with tuberculosis patients in the Aberdeen hospitals. While on honeymoon in Paris in 1955 he saw a retrospective exhibition of Picasso who, with Paul Klee became a lasting influence. Back in Aberdeen he made a living as a successful commercial artist for some years and then concentrated increasingly on his career as a painter. With three fellow artists, Eric Auld, Bill Baxter and Bill Ord, he formed the ABBO group in 1957 which was to exhibit extensively for many years throughout Scotland as well as in Newcastle and Birmingham. From 1963 to 1985 Buyers taught at Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology as well as being a visiting lecturer at Gray's School of Art. His work is represented in the collections of the Arts Council, Aberdeen Art Gallery and HRH the late Duke of Edinburgh.

CYCLADIC IDOL HEAD CYCLADES, EARLY CYCLADIC II, C. 2600 - 2400 B.C. carved marble, the head upon a broad cylindrical neck, the smooth facial plane with a convex form, bending back as if gazing upwards, with gently rounded chin and central rectangular nose, raised on a bespoke mount 7.1cm tall Provenance:  From an old French private collection of M. M. Accompanied by a French antiquities passport.  Note: The Cyclades, an archipelago in the southwestern Aegean, comprises thirty-nine small islands and many more islets. In ancient Greek they were referred to as the kyklades, envisioned as a circle (kuklos) around the sacred island of Delos, home to the most sacred temple of Apollo.In the fourth millennium B.C. a distinctive culture emerged in the islands which ran for over two thousand years. Sitting at a favourable location in the Aegean sea and rich in mineral resources, in particular iron ores and copper, the inhabitants of the Cyclades benefitted from the trade in these raw materials at a time when metallurgy was developing rapidly across the Mediterranean. Existing largely tangentially with the great civilisations of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, Cycladic people are counted among the three major Aegean cultures.It was the Cycladic people who produced the very first masterpieces of Greek marble sculpture. “Idols” such as the present example were spread throughout the archipelago, with the tradition of carving such figures lasting for well over one thousand years. Their exact use is unclear, some resemble fertility figures encountered across the Near East. Others have been interpreted as images of the deceased or servants for the afterlife. It is clear however that they were used in both funerary contexts and day-to-day ritual life, as some have been found with ancient repairs.Though they are today notable for their minimalist appearance, scientific analysis has shown that the surface of the marble would originally have been painted with mineral-based pigments, azurite for blue and iron ores or cinnabar for red. Many of the figures show a remarkable similarity in their proportions, suggesting that the production of these idols was regulated using a type of early compass.The sense of abstraction offered by ancient Cycladic art stimulated many of the great twentieth century artists, including Brancusi, Modigliani, and Picasso. The present piece is a wonderful example of the type, though carved over four thousand years ago its geometric appeal remains distinctly modern.

SALAMAN, Michael (1911-87). A collection of letters to Michael Salaman from Charles Aitken (4 letters), Campbell Dodgson (2), Michael Holroyd (6), Eric Kennington (3), Bernard Leach (3), William Rothenstein (1), Randolph Schwabe (1), and many others.SALAMAN, Michael [or Michel] (1911-87, British artist and teacher).  A collection of autograph and typed letters to Michael Salaman, and his wife, from various artists and writers, various dates and sizes, including letters from Charles Aitken (4 letters), Campbell Dodgson (2), P. Cross (2), Michael Holroyd (6, one incomplete), Eric Kennington (3), Bernard Leach (3), William Roberts (1), William Rothenstein (2), Randolph Schwabe (1), Rosa Waugh (1), Humbert Wolfe (8) and Jessie Wolf (1). Bernard Leach writes (in one letter): "I'd like to cross-question [Arthur] Waley & perhaps I'll muster courage to do so next time I'm up. Of course the social conditions, particularly in the position & freedom of women, were extraordinarily difficult from those obtaining under the Tokugawa regime. What I question is whether he has not made the mentality of his 10th century Japanese too much like ours by the very freedom & light-footed imaginativeness of his renderings. My experience of Eastern peoples has been that in each case the mental background of consciousness is something as distinct as the smell of Japanese paper is from ours - as evanescent - as difficult to pin down" (1929). Humbert Wolfe writes: "Do you remember telling me of your idea of a series of travel books which were to be, in fact, Week-end Books for the countries visited? I have spoken to Douglas Jerrold of Eyre & Spottiswoode, and he is really interested" (1929). The letters from Charles Aitken, the first Director of the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) from 1917-30, include somewhat muted responses to Salaman's requests that the artist Edna Clarke Hall should be included in the national collection. In one, he writes, "I do think most of the drawings, though interesting and often charming, were scarcely carried far enough to be suitable for a National Collection" (1926). Michael Holroyd writes: "... I am preparing a full-length biography of Augustus John. It is the wish of Mrs Dorelia [i.e. Dorothy] John, and myself, that this book should be as comprehensive and as accurate as possible, and I was wondering whether you might therefore be able to help me" (1968). Michael Salaman - usually addressed in these letters as Michel - was an influential British artist and teacher. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art under Henry Tonks from 1928 to 1931, under Albert Rutherston at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, from 1930 to 1931, and at the Academie Ranson, Paris from 1933 to 1934. During the six years he lived in Paris he exhibited alongside Picasso, Braque, Bonnard and Dufy. When he returned to England he concentrated on teaching, mainly at the Camberwell and Chelsea Schools of Art between the 1940s and 1960s, where his students included Anthony Eyton, Maggi Hambling and Euan Uglow. Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 16 October 1978, lot 285.

BAKST, Léon (1866-1924, illustrator). The Designs of Léon Bakst for The Sleeping Princess, London, 1923, 4to, portrait of Bakst by Picasso, 54 coloured plates by Bakst, original vellum-backed boards. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. NUMBER 385 OF 1,000 COPIES.BAKST, Léon (1866-1924, illustrator).  The Designs of Léon Bakst for The Sleeping Princess. A Ballet in Five Acts after Perrault. Music by Tchaikovsky. Preface by André Levinson. London: Benn Brothers Limited, 1923. Large 4to (389 x 285mm). Half title, coloured illustration by Léon Bakst laid down on the title and another at the head of the list of plates, full-page lithographed portrait of Bakst by Pablo Picasso, 54 mounted coloured plates by Bakst. Original vellum-backed blue buckram boards, spine lettered in gilt, top edges gilt, others uncut (lightly stained, corners rubbed and bumped, without the slipcase). Provenance: "M.K.S. from A.F.S." (pencil inscription on front free endpaper). FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. NUMBER 385 OF 1,000 COPIES. From André Levinson's Preface: "In less than six weeks - his time was necessarily restricted - Léon Bakst composed, or, rather, improvised the six scenes and the three hundred costumes (a whole world of pictorial fiction) which the ballet contains. A less bold, more timorous worker, seeking the exact historical document, nosing about in portfolios, compiling dossiers, would have succumbed to the difficulties. Bakst, above all else an imaginative artist, triumphed. Instead of building up an imitation, he created a dream of reality ... This effect is traceable to three things, a buoyant, grandiose organisation of space, an expert orchestration of colours and an inexhaustible wealth of decorative invention." The ballet is more commonly known as "The Sleeping Beauty."

[BELL, Vanessa (1879-1961)] - Manet and the Post-Impressionists. Nov. 8th to Jan 15th 1910-11, London, Grafton Gallery, [1910], 8vo, 38-page exhibition catalogue, wrappers. FIRST EDITION, IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY, SIGNED BY VANESSA BELL ON THE WRAPPER.[BELL, Vanessa (1879-1961)] - [Exhibition Catalogue:] Manet and the Post-Impressionists. Nov. 8th to Jan. 15th 1910-11. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Under Revision). London: Ballantyne & Company Ltd [for Grafton Galleries], [1910]. 8vo (178 x 120mm). 38-page exhibition catalogue, advertisements (some very light mainly marginal spotting and staining, very lightly browned throughout). Original printed wrappers (detached, lacking backstrip, some fraying and short marginal tears not affecting letters, each wrapper lightly stained at one edge). FIRST EDITION, IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY, SIGNED BY VANESSA BELL ON THE UPPER WRAPPER. The exhibition held at the Grafton Galleries in London was a ground-breaking succès de scandale which first established the term 'Post-Impressionist'. It contained previously unseen works by Manet, Cézanne, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Seurat and Van Gogh, among others, and shocked the British artistic establishment which remained largely Victorian in outlook, as revealed in the vitriol of contemporary reviews with their accusations of 'degeneracy'. On the gallery's "Honorary" and "Executive" committees were Clive Bell - Vanessa Bell's husband - Roger Fry, Lionel Cust, Lady Ottoline Morrell and, its Secretary, Desmond MacCarthy. In the catalogue's 7-page introductory essay, unattributed but probably by Roger Fry, the writer (commenting specifically on Matisse, although his words could apply more generally to the artists on display) states: "... this search for an abstract harmony of line, for rhythm, has been carried to lengths which often deprive the figure of all appearances of nature. The general effect ... is that of a return to primitive, even perhaps of a return to barbaric, art. This is inevitably disconcerting ..." Vanessa Bell (née Stephen), who has signed the upper wrapper of this catalogue in ink, was an English painter and interior designer, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group and sister of Virginia Woolf. Provenance: Included in the lot is Sotheby's 'Charleston' catalogue for its sale held on 21st July 1980, containing 130 lots "... donated from various sources to be sold for the benefit of The Charleston Trust ..." and in which the present exhibition catalogue ("Vanessa Bell's copy") is included as lot 225 with the footnote "The celebrated exhibition which introduced Post-Impressionism into this country"; loosely-inserted is an accompanying autograph note from the buyer.
