Christopher Wood (British, 1901-1930)Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall oil on board40.6 x 50.8 cm. (16 x 20 in.)Painted in 1930Footnotes:ProvenanceMr and Mrs L.K. Elmhirst, thence by descentPrivate Collection, U.K.ExhibitedLondon, The New Burlington Galleries, Christopher Wood, Exhibition of Complete Works, 3 March-2 April 1938, cat.no.37London, The Arts Council of Great Britain, English Contemporaries, 1949, cat.no.2Copenhagen, Kunstforeninger, British Arts 1900-1955, 10-29 April 1956, cat.no.48; this exhibition travelled to Oslo, Kunstnernes Hus, 12 May-10 JuneLiteratureEric Newton, Christopher Wood, The Redfern Gallery, London, 1938, cat.no.437In 1928 Christopher Wood made the decision to join Ben and Winifred Nicholson in Cornwall, rather than return to Paris. He had first travelled to the French capital in 1921 at the age of 20 and his visits had provided invaluable opportunities to observe the finest examples of Post-Impressionism, Cubism and Fauvism. As a result he was familiar with the work of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse and of course Picasso and Jean Cocteau, both of whom he had known and taken lessons with. This time on the continent taught Wood that simplicity and refinement were the essential characteristics of modern art, and it brought a deep understanding of and appreciation for the Primitive movement, which he strove to emulate in his work over the following years in a very English manner. It was during this initial trip to Cornwall, far from the avant-garde artists of Europe, that Christopher Wood and Ben Nicholson were to find their ultimate expression of primitive painting in the form of Alfred Wallis, an 80-year-old retired fisherman and self-taught artist who lived at Number 3 Back Road West in St Ives. Within his home were numerous pictures of ships, lighthouses and harbours painted on a variety of irregular cardboard, paper and other salvaged material with distinctive naivety. This now legendary 'discovery' was to have a profound effect and invigorated both artists who sought to absorb the lessons of the elderly mariner by leaving their lodgings in Feock to move closer to St Ives, with Wood settling at Meadow Cottage overlooking Porthmeor Beach. It was from this location and following almost daily trips to Wallis that Wood wrote to his mother, 'I feel my things are becoming really vital and the studentship has passed, my work is forming something quite personal and sure, unlike anybody else's, and I don't think anyone can paint the pictures I am doing.' (Christopher Wood quoted in Katy Norris, Christopher Wood, Lund Humphries in association with Pallant House Gallery, London, 2016, p.109). Having immersed himself in a seafaring culture which spoke to him, Wood crossed the Channel and spent several months in the fishing village of Treboul in Brittany during 1929. As well as the everyday lives of its inhabitants, many of the images he created are deeply personal and reflect on local customs of the maritime community, observing instances of religious contemplation and festive celebration with both intensity and dignity. The epiphany that had occurred upon meeting Alfred Wallis and the lessons learnt from the nautical communities of northern France were developed in the artist's final visit to Cornwall prior to his untimely death, where he based himself in the tiny village of Mousehole. During March 1930 he worked solidly here for two weeks and described himself to Ben Nicholson as being 'absolutely deliriously happy painting' amongst the narrow grey streets and fishing boats (Christopher Wood quoted in Richard Ingleby, Christopher Wood: An English Painter, Allison & Busby, London, 1995, p.231). Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall belongs to the group of works painted during this busy time and shows the progression of the artist's naïve, figurative style which is entirely unique. It exudes a sense of calm as groups of figures amble along the quay past the Ship Inn, which remains to this day. There can be little doubt this is a fishing community with the large sail strewn across the wall, drying from a recent fishing trip, possibly treacherous given the time of year and in stark contrast to the current atmosphere. The carefully observed structure of the boats is a technique that had been honed on a previous visit to Dieppe, along with the scratching and incising of the painted surface. The flashes of colour both here and in other selected passages of the composition act in contrast to the black, white, grey and brown palette that pervades. This simple clarity of colour and form came from the artist's immediate instinct for his subjects and also the teachings of Wallis who conveyed the essential reduction of these components. Drying Sails, Mousehole, Cornwall is closely related to Ship Inn, Mousehole, completed at the same time and in the collection of Manchester City Galleries.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÁ (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983)."Oiseau devant le soleil, 1961.Lithograph glued on cardboard, H.C. copy.Signed and justified by hand.Ed. Maeght, Paris.Size: 84 x 37 cm; 103 x 56,5 cm (frame).In Miró's iconography, birds seal the union between the sky and the earth, just as the sun and the moon form two complementary realities (light and darkness, day and night, masculine and feminine).Joan Miró trained in Barcelona, between the Escola de la Lonja and the Galí Academy. As early as 1918 he held his first exhibition at the Galerías Dalmau in Barcelona. In 1920 he moved to Paris and met Picasso, Raynal, Max Jacob, Tzara and the Dadaists. There, under the influence of the surrealist poets and painters, he gradually matured his style; he tried to transpose surrealist poetry to the visual, based on memory, fantasy and the irrational. From this point onwards his style began to evolve, leading him to more ethereal works in which organic forms and figures were reduced to abstract dots, lines and patches of colour. In 1924 he signed the first Surrealist manifesto, although the evolution of his work, which is too complex, makes it impossible to ascribe him to any particular orthodoxy. His third exhibition in Paris in 1928 was his first great triumph: the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired two of his works. He returned to Spain in 1941, and that same year the museum devoted a retrospective to him which was to be his definitive international consecration. During the 1950s he experimented with other artistic media, such as engraving, lithography and ceramics. From 1956 until his death in 1983, he lived in Palma de Mallorca in a sort of internal exile, while his international fame grew. Throughout his life he received numerous awards, such as the Grand Prizes at the Venice Biennale in 1954 and the Guggenheim Foundation in 1959, the Carnegie Prize for Painting in 1966, the Gold Medals of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1978) and of the Fine Arts (1980), and was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the universities of Harvard and Barcelona. Today his work can be seen at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, inaugurated in 1975, as well as in major contemporary art museums around the world, such as the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the MoMA in New York, the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, the National Gallery in Washington, the MNAM in Paris and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.
ENRIQUE BRINKMANN (Malaga, 1938)."Subject".Oil on plywood.Solo exhibition at Galería Alicante, Spain.Sizes: 68 x 75 cm; 70 x 76,5 cm (frame).A self-taught painter and engraver, Brinkmann began painting in the fifties and soon became a member of the Picasso Group in Malaga, collaborating in the Mediterranean Art Movement. In 1961 he travelled to Germany, where he spent three years living in the cities of Berlin and Cologne, while maintaining contact with the "Fluxus" group, illustrating musical scores for Cornelius Cardew. He later settled in Rome before returning to Malaga in 1966 and settling in his native city, although since 1992 he has been working and living for long periods in Madrid. He continues with an intense and extensive work, with involvement in workshops and other activities related to the plastic arts. Throughout his prolific career, Enrique Brinkmann has gone through six formative stages, always respecting the essence that characterises him. Brinkmann has held exhibitions in Spain, the United States, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland, and has won prizes such as the drawing prize at the Autumn Salon of the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the International Painting Festival Cagnes-sur-Mer in France and the National Engraving Prize in Madrid, among others. He is currently represented at the MOMA in New York, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Albertina in Vienna, the Wallraf-Richartz in Cologne, the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca and the Juan March Foundation, among many other public and private institutions.
ISMAEL GONZÁLEZ DE LA SERNA (Guadix, Granada, 1898 - Paris, 1968).Untitled, 1937.Mixed media on panel.With stamps from private collections: E. James and Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler.Presents label of the Clovis Gallery, Paris.Measurements: 39 x 46,5 cm; 57 x 64 cm (frame).In the year this piece was made, 1937, Ismael González took part in the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Paris, thus proving his worth as a painter and establishing his career in the eyes of the critics and the public. However, although this was a good professional period, the ravages of the war had left a strong impression on the artist that is reflected in his painting. This work is an example of this, as we can see how he gradually eliminated his Cubist influence and introduced a much more expressive and tragic chromatic range. In this still life, the main motif, the fruit bowl, still retains this cubist heritage both in form and in the artist's treatment of shadow. However, the space with the background open to the outside, the score and the presence of the letters show us a compositional conception with a classical heritage. Ismael González de la Serna began his art studies in Granada and completed them in Madrid, at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. In his early years he developed an eclectic pictorial style, drawing on Impressionist, Symbolist and Modernist sources. One of the first examples of his youthful language can be found in the illustrations he made for his childhood friend Federico García Lorca, in what was to be his first book, "Impresiones y paisajes" (1918). That same year, Ismael de la Serna held his first exhibition in Granada, and shortly afterwards he presented his works at the Ateneo in Madrid. In 1921 he moved to Paris in order to broaden his artistic horizons, joining the circles of the School of Paris. Among his Parisian friends was Pablo Picasso, who influenced his work but was, above all, the Granada painter's protector. During this period De la Serna's style was permeable to the influences of the avant-garde, particularly Cubism and Expressionism, which he worked in a highly personal manner. Likewise, the initial influence of Impressionism was always evident in his work. The year 1927 marked the beginning of a period of strong influence on his work, which began with the painter's solo exhibition at the influential Paris gallery of Paul Guillaume. This exhibition was followed by many others, both in Paris and in Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Granada and Mexico. In 1928 he was commissioned by the director of "Cahiers d'Art", Christian Zervos, to illustrate a special edition of twenty sonnets by Góngora. The key to his recognition lies in his sensual interpretation of the forms of Cubism, based on the relevance of a drawing with a sinuous and highly decorative line, combined with strong chromatic contrasts. With a marked spatial sense and without ever abandoning figuration, De la Serna mainly depicted still lifes, in which he emphasised the sensory aspect of his painting with metaphorical sensory references such as music, fruit or open windows. He also worked on landscapes and portraits. After inaugurating the activities of the Asociación de Artistas Ibéricos in Madrid with a solo exhibition in 1932, the painter embarked on new avenues of artistic experimentation which, after the Second World War, led to a more schematic and simplified style of painting, close to contemporary abstract solutions. Ismael de la Serna is represented in the Patio Herreriano Museum in Valladolid, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Granada and Seville, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Popular Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafamés and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, among many others.
PABLO PICASSO (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, France, 1973)."Colombe volant à l'Arc-en-ciel", 1952.Colour lithograph, copy 129/200.Signed and justified by hand. Signed and dated on plate.Size: 54 x 77 cm; 68 x 96,5 cm (frame).Original lithograph, signed by Picasso. It represents a dove flying in front of the rainbow, a motif from 1952 that would be used as a symbol of peace against the Franco regime. The dove of peace motif appeared in Picasso's work after the Second World War. Just as in another well-known Picasso image from 1961, the biblical symbol of the dove with an olive branch in its beak appears here flying over a rainbow sky. In Genesis we are told of the appearance of the dove with an olive branch to Noah to symbolise the return of universal peace, the end of the floods. Picasso took up this symbol in a series of drawings of doves. One of them was used for the poster announcing the World Congress of Partisans for Peace. In February 1949, Louis Aragon went to Picasso's Paris studio to select a drawing for the congress, which was to be held in Paris in April of the same year. "La colombe", a blue pencil drawing on paper, was the chosen motif and the image quickly became known as "The Dove of Peace". On 19 April 1949 his second daughter was born, on the opening day of the Peace Congress, and he decided to name her Dove after the symbol he created for the posters that appeared all over the streets of Paris.The creator of Cubism together with Braque, Picasso's painting was a turning point in the history of art. He began his studies in 1895 at the Provincial School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and only two years later he held his first solo exhibition at the café "Els Quatre Gats". After several short stays in Paris, Picasso settled permanently in the French capital in 1904. After his blue and pink periods in the early years of the century, the painter began his geometrical experiments in 1906, during a stay in Lérida. A year later he began to paint "Les Demoiselles de la Rue Avinyó", and in 1909 he came into contact with Braque and his Cubist period began. During the second decade he developed his classical period, and produced his famous sets for Diaghilev's Russian ballets. In 1936 he was appointed director of the Prado Museum by the Government of the Spanish Republic, and a year later he painted "Guernica". His definitive international recognition came in 1939, when he was given a retrospective at the MOMA in New York. During the following decades he was the subject of anthological exhibitions all over the world, in Rome, Milan, Paris, Cologne and New York, among many other cities. He is represented in the most important museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan, the MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the National Gallery in London and the Reina Sofía in Madrid.
BENJAMÍN PALENCIA (Barrax, Albacete, 1894 - Madrid, 1980)."Castle", 1958.Oil on canvas.Attached certificate issued by Don Ramón Palencia del Burgo, legal heir of the artist.Signed, dated, and dedicated to Don José María Moro, in the lower right corner.Measurements: 33 x 46 cm; 51 x 64 cm (frame).During this period Palencia isolated himself in the village of Villafranca, dedicating himself completely to painting, without any distractions that could disturb his pictorial exercise. It was then that he turned to the themes of views that reflected the lands of Avila, thus capturing the deepest Spain, but charged with a lively colouring that he recovered after a period of cold and arid tones caused by the consequences of the civil war.Founder of the Vallecas School together with sculptor Alberto Sánchez, Benjamín Palencia was one of the most important heirs of the poetics of the Castilian landscape characteristic of the Generation of '98. At the age of only fifteen Palencia left his native town and settled in Madrid to develop his training through his frequent visits to the Prado Museum, as he always rejected the official teachings of the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1925 he took part in the Exhibition of Iberian Artists held at the Retiro Palace in Madrid, and in 1926 he travelled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, Gargallo and Miró and came into contact with the collage technique, which he later applied to his work, incorporating new materials such as sand and ashes. It was during this Parisian stay that Palencia's work took on a surrealist tone, evidenced by an increasingly greater expressive freedom that reached its peak in his mature period. On his return to Madrid he founded the Vallecas School (1927) and made his individual debut at the Museum of Modern Art (1928). Palencia gradually abandoned still lifes to return to the Castilian landscape, capturing it through a magnificent synthesis of tradition and the avant-garde. This personal aesthetic of landscape painting reached its culmination in the Vallecas School and, after a brilliant surrealist incursion in the early 1930s, when the Civil War broke out Palencia remained in Madrid and, like his fellow artists of his generation, suffered a period of profound crisis. When the war ended, between 1939 and 1940 his painting took a radical turn; he abandoned cubist and abstract influences and even aspects of a surrealist nature in search of an art with a strong chromatic impact, linked to Fauvism. Focusing on his work as a landscape painter, in 1942 Palencia took up again the experience of the Vallecas School together with the young painters Álvar Delgado, Carlos Pascual de Lara, Gregorio del Olmo, Enrique Núñez Casteló and Francisco San José. His work would include images of the Castilian countryside and its peasants and animals; his painting became a testimony to the rough, the coarse and the rural, to the subtle expressiveness of Castilian sobriety. Already fully consolidated, in 1943 he won the first medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts and in 1944 he was selected to take part in the Salón de los Once de Eugenio D'Ors in Madrid. The following year he was awarded the medal of honour at the National Exhibition, although he renounced it in order to facilitate its award to José Gutiérrez Solana.
ANTONI CLAVÉ I SANMARTÍ (Barcelona, 1913 - Saint Tropez, France, 2005)."La folle au chapeau. Paris, 1948.Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Titled on the back.Attached is a photograph of the artist's Parisian studio, in which this painting appears together with Pedro Flores (Paris, January 1948).Measurements: 61 x 50 cm; 75 x 64 cm (frame).Clavé's work developed along two lines, one of which was more conceptual and experimental, while the other remained within the limits of figuration, although it was a completely avant-garde figuration. This portrait belongs to the second line, endowed with an inner strength that subjugates us: through the voluntary roughness of the brushstroke and the boldness of the colours, Clavé conveys the fragile and vulnerable psychology of "the madwoman". Large eyes that seem to have wept, the curled hand on her lip, the grotesque headdress... all contribute to silently moving the viewer.Antoni Clavé is one of the most important figures in Spanish contemporary art. Trained at the San Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Clavé initially devoted himself to advertising graphics, illustration and the decorative arts. In 1936 he took an active part in the Civil War, joining the Republican ranks, which led him to go into exile in France at the end of the war. That same year, 1939, he exhibited the drawings he had made on the battlefields. He settled in Paris, where he met Vuillard, Bonnard and Picasso. From this period onwards, Clavé began to develop an oeuvre marked by a different, less classical style. During this period his figures gradually lost their precision and form, giving way to the lines and a personal range of colours and textures that were to become the main features of his works from that time onwards. He already enjoyed great international prestige at the time when he began to be recognised in Spain, after his exhibition at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona in 1956. In the 1960s he paid homage to El Greco, and his painting at this time reveals the influences of that master, as well as those of the Baroque painters. The theme of the knight with his hand on his chest takes on special relevance, a reference that will be repeated in Clavé's future works. This period is characterised by the definitive transition to abstraction. In the 1970s Clavé's work continued to evolve, using various techniques such as collage and inventing new ones such as papier froissé. In 1978, the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, now the Centre Georges Pompidou, devoted a retrospective to Clavé that made him one of the most prestigious artists of his generation. His latest works are characterised by the recreation of textures within abstraction, with a profuse use of papier froissé. He was awarded prizes at the Hallimark in New York in 1948, at the Venice Biennale in 1954 and at the Tokyo International Biennale in 1957. In 1984 the Spanish state recognised his artistic value with the exhibition of more than one hundred of his works in the Spanish pavilion at the Venice Biennale. That same year he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Clavé's work can be found, among many others, in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the Tate Gallery, the Modern Art Museum in Paris and Tokyo, the British Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
