A Gentleman oil painting the pewter collector portrait by Joyce Laing OBE [57x63cm]Laing saw a means of releasing creativity in long term psychiatric in-patients such as Angus McPhee (who did not speak for fifty years) but created woven grass art,] and worked with long-term (including violent) prisoners in the Barlinnie Special Unit, Glasgow, Scotland, such as Jimmy Boyle[8] and Hugh Collins, both in prison for murder, who became sculptors. She was awarded an OBE in 2008 for her work and founded two major Scottish art exhibitions and wrote and edited publications about the evolution of art therapy.Laing was among those leading the call for a Scottish Centre for Art Extraordinary (also known as Outsider art)[14] which was made a permanent exhibition in 2022 in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, [10] but she had started with a touring exhibition, Inner Necessity in 1997.[9] Laing donated her collection of over 1100 works of art by prisoners and psychiatric patients to Glasgow museums in 2012.[10] Some of the material she collected was being discarded as large psychiatric units were closed down and Laing was said to have 'rummaged in bins' to save the patients' work, not generally regarded as 'art' by many at the time, but valued by her as made by untrained artists, but a form of vital self-expression or 'compulsion'. In 2023, the gallery will exhibit 50 years of art work from Barlinnie.She also co-founded the Pittenweem Arts Festival in 1981 serving on the board until 2007, which built up from old photographs of local lifeboats to annual open house events (art works exhibited in residents' homes) and grew to involve known artists such as Ian Hamilton Finlay, Will Maclean, Oscar Marzaroli, Joan Eardley and John Bellany.

A Baccarat close-packed millefiori cane glass paperweight, the tight arrangement of assorted colourful canes including five Gridel silhouettes comprising a horse, stag, elephant, lovebirds and a dog, internally dated 1848 and initiated B to cane, 7 cm diameter, (small marks and percussive "bruise" to surface) [The most famous Baccarat silhouettes were based on designs created by Joseph Emile Gridel in 1848. Gridel was nine years old when his uncle, Jean-Baptiste Toussaint was general manager of Baccarat. Toussaint was visiting the Gridel family and saw his nephew drawing, painting, and cutting out a menagerie of animals. These charming and simple cut-outs became the models for Baccarat’s silhouette cane moulds. In 1848, Toussaint gave his nephew a paperweight containing fifteen of the eighteen “Gridel” silhouette canes. The weight is still in the possession of the Gridel family.]

* JOHN HALLIDAY (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2021), OLIVE GROVES, LUCERA oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 1965 versoframed image size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 68cm x 78cm Provenance: The artist's studio sale, 2021.Note: Born in Kirkcudbright's Atkinson Place in 1933, John Halliday lived for nearly ninety years just two doors along from the house in which he was born. In the intervening decades, his restless life had been one of exploration: creatively, culturally, geographically and personally. Born into a family background where a career in art was not a likely or realistic prospect, Halliday found himself leaving Kirkcudbright Academy at the age of sixteen to take up work as a trainee on the local Galloway News. And there the story might well have ended. But a benign fate, never far away in the Halliday life story, began to take a hand in events. In 1948, Cecile Walton, daughter of the celebrated E.A. Walton, had decided to settle permanently in Kirkcudbright. Although in straitened financial circumstances, she was a woman of some style and flair which extended beyond her art and into her lifestyle. Introduced to Halliday at an Arts Council touring exhibition in St Cuthbert's Hall, Cecile took an interest in the talented teenager. Along with Jean Menzies, John's art teacher at school, Walton worked hard to have him accepted at the Glasgow School of Art despite his lack of formal educational qualifications. But Walton's influence did not end with Halliday's entrance to art school in 1949. Life in Cecile's Millburn studio was a far cry from the more humdrum life-style of Atkinson Place. Despite a lack of money, Cecile did not lack glamour in young John's eyes: "It was a magical place, with its old pot-bellied stove. I remember the furniture, particularly a big bureau, and the chairs were William Morris. She seemed to entertain everybody there, great Sunday lunches in particular, with all kinds of interesting guests from all the arts. And she managed to bring it all off in a single-end in the Millburn." (Tales of the Kirkcudbright Artists: Gordon, 2006). This passion for style and sparkling company left its mark on the young man. His life has been marked by enrichment through association with beautiful objects and with people who have made their mark on the world of the arts and society in general. 1949 was a good year to be arriving at the Glasgow School of Art. Teaching giants such as William and Mary Armour, Geoff Squire and John Miller greatly impressed the young but impecunious Halliday. His digs in a theatrical boarding house adjacent to the School of Art meant he spent more time than most students in the School, drawing every ounce of input from the learning experience before eventually finding himself a tiny studio in the city centre. In his final year at art school, he won two Royal Scottish Academy Awards: the Chalmers Bursary and the award for outstanding Diploma show. Output from this period featured in an exhibition, largely organised by Cecile Walton, in a Castle Douglas gallery shortly after graduation. Here again, fate took a hand. The largest canvas in the exhibition was bought by Douglas Lorimer, managing director of North British Locomotives, who financed Halliday for a year to 'see the world', as he put it. Lorimer's help, together with money from his awards saw John setting out with his friend and experienced traveller, Gerald Ashton, for his first trip abroad - to Sicily. It was a seminal experience, the beginning of a life-long love of this location to which he has returned countless times. An introduction to Glasgow architect Jack Notman led, over the years, to a series of over 70 mural commissions. Ten of these were for panels of famous Scots at Prestwick Airport, others for the Clydesdale Bank, the Bank of Scotland, the Marquis of Bute, Hope Scott, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, Glenfarclas whisky, to name only a few. In many of them his love of architecture, symmetry and the baroque technique of trompe l'oeil was fully explored. It is, however, to Whistler, friend of his own patron, Cecile Walton, that his own work is most often compared, a comparison with which Halliday was not unhappy. " It is his half-tones and quarter tones which I really love and these play an important part in my work also. The light in the early morning or evening can only be realised through them. People talk a lot about my preoccupation with light but it is to those tones that I am really referring," he remarks. New York-based Clare Henry, doyenne of international art critics, is among those happy to make the comparison: "Landscape is Halliday's real love, be it a damp day by the Tweed or noon in Sicily...while studies of ancient facades in Venice are positively Whistlerian." (The Herald, 25th November 1998). Richard Jacques in The Scotsman has seen similar parallels: "Specially rewarding are those Whistlerian images of Kirkcudbright and Galloway in which the elements of landscape are seen in a penumbral create an almost magical effect." (The Scotsman, 18th November 1991). Some might also see a parallel closer to home. In his love of penumbral light and muted tones and outlines, Halliday at times forays into the concerns, if not the palette, of another Kirkcudbright artist, Macaulay Stevenson. John Halliday remained however, very much his own man with a vision of Galloway to which he had been drawn irresistibly throughout a long career. Travels throughout Europe, homes across Scotland have resulted in glorious oils, gouache and crayon images from all parts: from Calabria to Coldstream, from the baking sun of Sicily to wintry scenes in Edinburgh.

AR * Shepard (Ernest Howard, 1879-1976), 'Ratty and Mole', [1959], fine pencil, ink and watercolour with body colour on off-white wove paper, signed lower left, 26.5 x 18.5 cm, framed and glazed with photocopies of Shepard’s manuscript labels to picture verso pasted to back of frameQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Acquired by the vendors’ parents directly from the artist at an exhibition of his own work in Haslemere, Surrey, 29 May – 12 June 1965. Framed and mounted for the exhibition the picture was priced at 15 guineas.Shepard’s line drawings were first used to illustrate a new Methuen edition of Wind in the Willows in 1931. In 1959 Methuen published a new Shepard edition with an additional eight colour plates from watercolours by the artist.This watercolour of Ratty and Mole in a rowing boat by the reeds in the near foreground and Otter and his young son Portly on the far side of the river. The scene is described in Chapter 7, ‘The Piper at the Gates’, when Mole and Rat reunite the missing Portly with his father.‘They watched the little animal as he waddled along the path contentedly and with importance; watched him till they saw his muzzle suddenly lift and his waddle break into a clumsy amble as he quickened his pace with shrill whines and wriggles of recognition. Looking up the river, they could see Otter start up, tense and rigid, from out of the shallows where he crouched in dumb patience, and could hear his amazed and joyous bark as he bounded up through the osiers on to the path. Then the Mole, with a strong pull on one oar, swung the boat round and let the full stream bear them down again whither it would, their quest now happily ended.’The picture was also used as a full-bleed design for the upper panel of the dust jacket of the first edition in 1959, but later replaced with a design featuring all four of the book’s major characters and title lettering. The original watercolour of this latter design, which Shepard described as the cover design in his inventory for the Haslemere exhibition, was sold by Sotheby’s, London, 10 December 2019, lot 252. In the reed bed at the lower edge of the drawing Shepard has added a hand-painted roughly torn strip of paper that sits raised above the lower edge to give extra depth to the picture. This overlaid strip is original and intentional and is clearly visible in the reproductions.This 'trompe l'oeil' paper strip is an integral part of Shepard’s original drawing and is clearly visible in the reproductions.
* Fowles (John, 1926-2005). A group of 4 Typed Letters and 1 Autograph Letter Signed, Belmont House/Underhill Farm, Lyme Regis, 1960-74, all to Anthony Rossiter, the first saying that their stepdaughter Anna has been accepted for Bristol, that Elizabeth and he are both sorry we missed the exhibition 'which I hope was successful - and the book. I saw only the rather nasty review from Jupiter Cyril; bad notices from that quarter are almost a compliment, I think, and I'm sure you got justice elsewhere', the second (16 May 1968) giving his thoughts about The Pendulum 'a very remarkable document of courage; a remarkable practical proof of what R. D. Laing has been on about for some time now (hope you've read his book), with the added pleasure of your being a much better writer than he is - and of course, writing from the inside. I wish only that there had been some illustrations - but I gather that's been corrected in the American edition. The book reminded me at times of Montaigne - that almost inhuman contemplation of objectivity about one's own journey through life - and you can't have higher praise from me than that', the last letter (18 December 1974) seemingly referring to his collection of novellas and short stories The Ebony Tower (1974), 'I was delighted the artistic side of the title story meets your approval. I was rather afraid it might be a case of fools rushing in... I think my stepdaughter and her recently acquired husband, who is doing pottery at the RCA, were a little horrified at the use I made of their own miscries in the art-education world. I have also just returned from shocking the Americans a little by suggesting that most of the New York School gigantists are ludicrously over-rated. But so many there have invested so much in the stuff that it is rather like attacking the New York Stock Exchange!', a total of 8 pages, 8vo, plus an Autograph Letter Signed from Elizabeth Fowles to Anneka (12 June 1968), plus the accompanying envelopes and Anthony Rossiter's first edition copy of Fowles's The Collector (Cape, 1963) with some pencil annotations, underscorings and coffee stains, hinges cracked, original cloth in worn dust jacket, 8voQTY: (7)NOTE:Provenance: From the family, by direct descent.
