Andre Lanskoy (Russian 1902 - 1976) Untitled initials A.L. (lower centre) gouache on paper image 13.5 x 17.5 cm, sheet 21 x 27 cm, framed and glazed 28 x 33.5 cm Provenance: With Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris. Purchased from the above by Lady Peter Norton in 1945, inventory no. NCP 109 (as oil on paper). Thence by descent to the current owner.Footnote: According to Jeanne Bucher Jaeger’s website "André Lanskoy’s sole monographic exhibition at the gallery took place in May 1944, under the Occupation and its artistic censorship, at a time when abstraction was considered as a “degenerate art”. The paintings and watercolors presented revealed the artist’s decomposition of interior scenes through color and forms. This exhibition marked the first encounter of Lanskoy with his compatriot Nicolas de Staël." https://jeannebucherjaeger.com/artist/lanskoy-andre/ The picture belonged to the art collector and gallerist Lady Peter Norton, who bought it from Jeanne Bucher in 1945. The painting is listed as NCP 109 in Lady Norton’s collection album, now in the Tate archive, which show photos of the two Lanskoy paintings she bought from Bucher that year.Nöel Evelyn Hughes (1891–1972), always known by her nickname Peter, was a daughter of Empire. Her father was a distinguished engineer after whom Hughes Road in her birthplace Mumbai is named. She rebelled against what she described as her "very early Victorian family, every one of whom was of course interested in music, painting and poetry" – her grandfather and great-grandfather had exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy – and she went to work in a leading advertising company, Crawfords.In 1927 she married the diplomat Clifford Norton, and an interest in the Bauhaus art school developed after she met students- turned-teachers Herbert Bayer and Marcel Breuer while skiing.In 1936, the London art world was blown wide open by the International Surrealist Exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries in Cork Street. When it closed, Peter was ready to fill the space and opened her trenchantly named London Gallery with her cousin Marguerita Strettell. The Redfern Gallery and the Mayor Gallery were both nearby and the street became the locus for modern art in London. Peggy Guggenheim’s Guggenheim Jeune opened two years later. The influences on Peter included Roland Penrose, co-organiser of the Surrealist show, and a wide range of émigré artists and designers. Under the guidance of Walter Gropius, her links with the Bauhaus artists - Kandinsky, Klee, Moholy-Nagy, Breuer, Bayer - was particularly strong. She was always a Modernist, determined to support artists as generously as she could, and, to spread the word, she created a lending library within the gallery.In 1938 Peter’s husband was sent to Warsaw as Chargé d’affaires. She sold her gallery to Penrose, and left with her husband for Poland, where she was an eyewitness to Hitler’s invasion on 1 September 1939; the war gave her the chance to use her formidable energies in protecting lives and helping refugees, often at her own risk.Later she became an active and adventurous patron to John Craxton RA as well as Henry Moore (organising a major show for Moore in G|reece), when Clifford became Ambassador in Athens in 1946. Peter had lost much of her own collection during the war, but built it up again with less well- known names. She was an early supporter of the ICA in London and, on retirement to Britain, remained an indefatigable and generous champion of young artists. In good colour. The painted area is in good condition.

A Russian lubok of Peter the Great. 'The Cat from Kazan, in the manner of Astrakhan, by reason of Siberia, lives gloriously, manages agreeably, and farts sweetly' (translated), 1750 or later, uncoloured woodblock satirising Peter the Great, 35.5 x 28cmLubki (singular lubok) are the woodblock prints which served as folk literature and graphic art in Russia until 1917. Lubki could be purchased for a kopeck or two, black and white or coloured, in the streets, marketplaces, church doors and in front of monastery gates of old Russia. They were used to decorate the homes of the poor, often substituting for more expensive painted wooden icons. This image is arguably the most famous of all the lubki and was credited to Vasili Loren. Peter had visited Versailles and was charmed by the elegance of Louis XIV’s courtiers, Tsar Peter issued a ukase (edict) forcing Russian Boyars to shave off their beards or pay a hefty fine of 130 rubles. The ultra-conservative Boyars resisted being shorn, claiming that without their beards they would not be allowed to enter Paradise and they declared that Tsar Peter was a heretic. On Peter's death the Boyars had their revenge with this satirical lubok. Few lubok satirising the Tsars survive because Tsar Nicholas I (1825–55) established strict censorship of the topics depicted on lubki and those prints which offended the Tsar, his family or the Russian Orthodox church were ordered to be destroyed. Condition Reportframed, 48.5 x 41cm with time staining. Handing creases and minor cockling to the edges. Tape shadow to corners. The yellowing from the mount around the edge of the piece.

Her works were also exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, and throughout the 1920s she created pieces for fashion houses Myrbor and 4 Rue Belloni. Following her success designing for others, Lipska opened several boutiques showcasing her own works, including one in the Champs Elysées.

Original vintage advertising poster for Kandinsky The Munich Years 1900-14 Exhibition held in The Scottish Arts Council Gallery. Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (16 December [O.S. 4 December] 1866 – 13 December 1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as one of the pioneers of abstraction in western art. Kandinsky formed a new group, The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) with like-minded artists such as August Macke, Franz Marc, Albert Bloch, and Gabriele Münter. The group released an almanac (The Blue Rider Almanac) and held two exhibits. More of each were planned, but the outbreak of World War I in 1914 ended these plans and sent Kandinsky back to Russia via Switzerland and Sweden. Very good condition, few creases on the image. Country: UK. Year: 1979. Designer: after Kandinsky. Size: 76 x 51.

Original vintage advertising poster for Malevitch Pompidou Centre. Good condition, creases and small tears margins. Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (1879-1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose pioneering work and writing influenced the development of abstract art in the 20th century. He was born in Kiev, modern-day Ukraine, to an ethnic Polish family. His concept of Suprematism sought to develop a form of expression that moved as far as possible from the world of natural forms (objectivity) and subject matter in order to access "the supremacy of pure feeling" and spirituality. Active primarily in Russia, Malevich was a founder of the artists collective UNOVIS and his work has been variously associated with the Russian avant-garde and the Ukrainian avant-garde, and he was a central figure in the history of modern art in Central and Eastern Europe more broadly.Country: France. Year: 1978. Designer: after Kazimir Malevitch. Size: 74.5 x 50.

ROGER FRY (BRITISH 1866–1934) THE DANCERS, c.1910 oil on board 71cm x 56cm (28in x 22in) Lady Ottoline Morrell;Christie's New York, 1987;Sandra Lummis Fine Art, London, from whom acquired by Bernard Kelly in November 1987. Roger Fry’s Dancers encapsulates both the artistic vision of the Bloomsbury Group and something too of their real-world attitudes to life, love and sex that set them so apart from most of Edwardian England. This painting is steeped in Bloomsbury influences. There’s a certain Medievalism in its composition, like an illumination in a manuscript, that recalls William Morris, yet a louche sensibility and abstraction in its execution that is pure Post-Impressionism. And it was Fry, after all, who had just brought Modern French painting to London, to shocking effect, in the same year that this work was painted. He may well have known about Matisse’s The Dancers, painted for the Russian collector Sergei Schukin in 1909, with its similar circle of Bacchante, but Fry’s work speaks equally to Cezanne’s painting of bathers, or Gauguin’s Tahitian fantasies – albeit seemingly set  in garden at Garsington Manor, home of society hostess Lady Ottoline Morrell, where all the bright young things of Bloomsbury would gather at weekend, both to dress up and (later) take off their clothes. Indeed, one could easily imagine Fry turning this image into a fire-screen or cabinet door for his Omega Workshops, which he had set up precisely to blur the boundaries between art and life for this new generation of modernists and libertines, in that glorious – but short-lived – moment before the coming of the Great War.

A PIECE OF WOODEN RUSSIAN FOLK ART BOUGHT BY THE VENDOR IN 1976 ON A TRIP TO MOSCOW

This oil on canvas is an exemplary work by the renowned Russian-Israeli contemporary Impressionist artist Leonid Afremov (1955€“2019), whose masterful use of palette knives and vibrant color palettes has garnered acclaim worldwide. Afremov's distinctive style is characterized by his ability to evoke emotion through texture, light, and dynamic compositions. Born in Belarus, Afremov trained at the prestigious Vitebsk Art School, an institution founded by Marc Chagall, whose influence is evident in Afremov's expressive and luminous works. The artwork depicts a serene white horse juxtaposed against an old-world cityscape. Architectural details, such as church spires and rustic buildings, serve as a backdrop to the horse's reflective pose, evoking a sense of tranquility amidst urban bustle. Afremov's signature palette of soft pinks, burnt oranges, and light browns is accentuated by bright whites and subtle highlights, lending depth and vibrancy to the composition. The artist's mastery of thick and thin paint applications creates a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the work. His signature appears on the lower right. The painting is housed in an elaborate gilded wooden frame with intricately carved grape vine motifs and an ecru linen border, providing an elegant presentation that enhances its visual impact. About the Artist: Leonid Afremov was a prolific artist whose works have been celebrated for their ability to convey nostalgia, warmth, and a dreamlike quality. Over his career, Afremov created an extensive body of work that includes cityscapes, landscapes, and intimate portraits. His use of the palette knife to apply bold swathes of color became his signature technique, allowing him to achieve unparalleled texture and depth. Despite initial challenges in his career, including political oppression in the Soviet Union, Afremov found success after immigrating to Israel and later the United States. His paintings are now held in private collections and galleries worldwide, and his legacy continues to inspire collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
