R&F Mo An apparition, 2024 Watercolour and gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Narrative is central to R&F Mo's cross-disciplinary practice (drawing, painting, stitch, and performance), connecting the seen, the sensed, and the dreamed, in colour, mark, thread and motion. Mo employs an improvisational approach, finding the way in the moment of making, keeping the work alive, and sometimes vocally sound scatting in response to the work, the action, and the material of place.

Louise Dougherty Woods between the worlds, 2024 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Louise Dougherty is a contemporary landscape artist living and working in Norfolk, England. Discovering a deeper connection absorbs her artistic practice. She walks and records her surroundings to explore the metaphor between landscapes and life experiences. Recording the conflicting differences between being absorbed with the delicacy and power of the female experience contrasted or linked to the rhythms of the skies and landscape. Her work continually investigates how she connects to the landscape, whether through memory, physicality, or spirituality.

Reflection, new light, growth, and quiet calm. The haunting quality of the woodland immediately evoked CS Lewis's The Magician's Nephew and the wood between our world and others. I wanted to explore the ideas of possibility, new beginnings, and hope. I used watercolour to capture the light and the subtlety of the textures.

Ariane Hughes Figure of Eight, 2024 Oil on primed watercolour paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Ariane Hughes (b.1997, London) is a painter known for her meticulous approach to texture and surface. Her work is characterised by smooth, polished finishes and the careful rendering of organic and figurative forms, including body parts, which evoke a striking illusion of tactility. Driven by a quest for perfection, her process is both exploratory and introspective, capturing the fragility and fragmented nature of human experience while challenging conventional perspectives of observation and interpretation. Through her refined technique, Hughes creates a tension between the ideal and the imperfect, seamlessly merging unsettling elements with dark humour to produce paradoxically beautiful compositions. In addition to her solo and group presentations, Hughes has curated exhibitions such as (It's My Party) I Can Cry If I Want To, Guts Gallery, London (2023), and Damned If I Do, Gallery 46, London (2022).

Public Collections Studio Berkheim (Stuttgart, Germany) Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork The works created for Art on a Postcard, 'Gently Does It' and 'Figure of Eight', represent an evolution in my practice, building on the foundations of earlier themes while introducing fresh perspectives. This new direction refines and deepens my focus on organic textures, floral forms, and fragmented body parts, presenting them with greater intimacy and detail. These specific works capture close-ups of my fingers interacting with rose petals. Visually, they highlight a shift towards decluttered backgrounds and close-ups, allowing the textures and forms to take centre stage. The works prioritise the refinement of the handling of paint and surface finish, intertwining organic textures with figurative forms. This creates a balance of delicacy and subtle sensuality, with an undercurrent of mystery and the evocative, reflecting the fragmented nature of human experience. The palette also reflects this evolution, blending muted yet sumptuous tones that evoke a sense of veiled eroticism. These choices build upon my practice while opening new creative possibilities. Creating these works has inspired me to explore working on paper, a shift that promises further experimentation and growth while continuing to honour the core of my artistic vision.

The expressive images have a contemporary edge marked by energetic use of colour and line. They spring from sketches and drawings made en plein air and are developed using painting and printmaking back at her studio on the south coast of the Isle of Wight where the moon reflected in the English Channel provides inspiration. In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Selene is the goddess and personification of the Moon. She was reputed to drive her horse drawn chariot across the night sky, as her brother Helios the day. The moon's long association with female power, and links with the female cycle led these artworks to be selected specially for International Women's Day.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

The expressive images have a contemporary edge marked by energetic use of colour and line. They spring from sketches and drawings made en plein air and are developed using painting and printmaking back at her studio on the south coast of the Isle of Wight where the moon reflected in the English Channel provides inspiration. In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Selene is the goddess and personification of the Moon. She was reputed to drive her horse drawn chariot across the night sky, as her brother Helios the day. The moon's long association with female power, and links with the female cycle led these artworks to be selected specially for International Women's Day.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Bex Massey Queen, 2025 Watercolour and acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Bex Massey's work examines the role of painting and the language of display in the face of popular culture. She amalgamates simulacra and allegory to investigate notions of 'worth' via motifs and tones extracted from her childhood. Massey's previous works and exhibitions have engaged the codes and history of queer culture, along with markers of selfhood and Northern identity. Recent works have become visually softer, more sedate and uncomfortable as the unease and 'value' in this series is created via the relationships between the minimal conflations. The image pairings within these paintings encourage allusion to female bodies, building an underlying sexual tension imbued by the artist into quotidian objects. Compositionally the couplet mirror each other and their visceral epicentres form a visual echo. This is further extended by an implied auditory element as the scenes contain the potential of noise, whether it is the moment a cat yawns or fizzy drink explodes - force in one image is released in its partner. These climactically coupled, female laden, tension imbued depictions are a nod to societies persistently binary notions of gender and therein the habitual reminder that outside the male gaze, Female + Female = Incorrect. Masseys recent fertility journey with her partner has brought this into sharp focus, and this process is alluded to in the titles of canvas which are named after the sperm donors they have considered. This additional layer encourages the work to be viewed via a reproductive lens. Education 2012-2013: MA Fine Art. Merit. Chelsea School of Art, London. 2004-2007: Ba Hons Fine Art. 2:1.

Kate Burling Propeller Study, 2024 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Kate Burling's work explores the human/animal experience of exponential change. The paintings are a meeting point between soft, stable insides, and harsh, unknowable and ever-accelerating outsides. Through flooding fluid compositions with swarms of mechanical objects, and considering the impact of sharp externalities on a soft, warm core, the paintings allude to narratives of biblical disaster, climate collapse and the rituals we might turn to in order to maintain sanctuary within our bodies.

However, by the beginning of 2004, she found herself frustrated by the lack of time to paint and decided to paint on a full time basis. She set up studios both in Scotland and in France and is now based full-time in Scotland. I'm a painter. I tend to be drawn to subjects that visually stimulate me. In addition, the process and the craft of making paintings are very important to me, so draughtsmanship, mark making, composition and the intelligent use of colour are all key tenets of my work.

Wood has won numerous prestigious awards. “My work encompasses landscape, seascape and abstraction, using oils, acrylics, collage and mixed media. My working practice is intuitive and improvisational - an approach which fosters the unexpected. Through the processes of painting, of layering and scraping, of looking and reacting, the work finds its own identity, with a purpose, history and a voice of its own. I endeavour to leave enough room for the viewer to engage with my work through the lens of their own experience."

* CHARLES OAKLEY (BRITISH 1925 - 2008), MOONLIGHT RENDEZVOUS oil on board, titled label verso framed image size 49cm x 95cm, overall size 65cm x 110cm Partial artist's label verso. Note: Obituary published in The Independent by Prof Kenneth McConkey 8 April 2008: Charles Oakley was one of an important generation of British painters who, in the late Forties, arrived at the Slade School of Fine Art wearing "demob" suits. He had neither portfolio nor sketchbooks to show, but a single watercolour, depicting a momentous occasion in his youth. Oakley grew up in Urmston, Manchester, the son of an engineer; two previous generations of Oakleys had been naval captains. Family holidays spent in Falmouth provided an ideal playground for the young Charles – rusting old U-boats from the Great War were berthed in the harbour. Then, in the early years of the Second World War, while youth hostelling in the Lake District, he came upon the crash site of two Hurricane fighters. A dead pilot lay by the wreckage of one of the planes. The scene burned itself into his mind and was only exorcised when he sketched it out on paper and coloured it. This single work became a talisman and after his three years' military service with the Royal Artillery in the Himalayas, it was this that he took to his successful Slade interview with Randolph Schwabe in 1947. His tutors, William Townsend and William Coldstream, being well-connected, brought artists and critics such as Francis Bacon, Wyndham Lewis and David Sylvester into the Slade to look at students' work. Oakley's diligent studies in the Antique Room won him the Taylor and Melvill Nettleship awards, as well as the Wilson Steer medal for Northern Landscape, a "summer composition" painting of coal trucks in a railway yard produced in 1950. He remained at the Slade for a postgraduate year and in 1951 married Ann, his life-long partner. In those days, the path from the Slade and the Royal College to the New English Art Club was still in use and Oakley showed industrial scenes at two of its exhibitions before moving north to become an art master at Eden School in Carlisle. A splendid watercolour of the old city bus station remains a popular reproduction sold by Tullie House museum in Carlisle. In 1957 his first solo exhibition was held at the Crane Kalman Gallery, Manchester, and was opened by L.S. Lowry. Oakley recalled Lowry's enthusiasm when he purchased a picture from the show. At this stage, living on a fabric designer's salary, and with a growing family, the Oakleys could not reciprocate – much to their chagrin in later years. Thereafter he showed regularly in Manchester exhibitions, being praised for his "poetry in paint". In 1962 he obtained the post of Senior Lecturer at Belfast College of Art, and it was after this that true poetry arrived, with paintings of ships' engine rooms at Harland and Wolff, recalling the submarines of childhood – one of which was acquired for the Ulster Museum, Belfast. In shows at the Caldwell Gallery in Bradbury Place, Belfast, these intense, claustrophobic interiors were juxtaposed with the wide expanses of Donegal where the Oakley family had a summer cottage. Oakley rhapsodised on the windswept beaches where occasionally he would come across the rotting remains of old fishing boats. When these paintings were exhibited in 1965 at the Bondgate Gallery, Alnwick, along with works by Lord Haig and J.H. Themal, Oakley, according to The Guardian, "stole the show". A few years later, as Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley were emerging as the poetic voices of Ulster, the critic William Feaver praised the "mortuary effect" of the painter's "leaky skies" and "peat trenches". Oakley might easily have been typecast as an Irish landscapist of a conventional kind. However, hints of Edward Hopper and "magic realism" had begun to creep into his painting and around the time of his return to England in 1974, he became interested in working in three dimensions – "dabbling in construction work" and experimenting with trompe l'oeil was how it was described. Repeated visits to the Dutch museums instilled a respect for the measured space of Vermeer, Terborch and Metsu, and took him back to his Slade School exercises in mathematical perspective. In 1982, on a student trip, he visited the massive 360-degree Mesdag Panorama in The Hague which was re-examined in a series of works – as indeed were the methodical approaches of painters such as Thomas Eakins and George Stubbs whose deep visual research led to periods of physical and spiritual isolation. These and the Dutch masters became his new subject matter in what were described as "works with romantic and historical associations", in the first of three exhibitions staged at Pyms Gallery, London in 1984 – perhaps the most fruitful collaboration of Oakley's career since it led to touring shows, in galleries in Hull, York, Kendal and Belfast. What we see in The Eakins Studio (1986), for instance, is a box/vitrine, similar to a stage designer's model. The life room impedimenta, sculpture stands and a "donkey", are recreated in miniature – tiny hand-crafted objects in which experience is locked. And on the back wall are pinned the famous studies of male and female nudes which contain them. Oakley's own experiences had come back to haunt him. A connection between these austere academic rituals and lost heroes such as Scott and Oates of the Antarctic, or Mallory and Irvine on Everest, fused in his mind and led him to produce the evocative Antarctic Triptych (1984) and the Quarter Rupee Triptych (1986) in which the intrepid teams of explorers and mountaineers pose for famous photographs. In the former the image is pinned to the remnants of one of their packing cases, along with other memorabilia, including a postcard of Caspar David Friedrich's The Wreck of the 'Hoffnung', inspired by an attempt on the North Pole in 1823. Embedded in the foreground fragments of cracked ice are remnants of a Union Jack. By the early Nineties, other themes, equally austere, suggested themselves. The discovery of a monument to Roger Casement, the death of Richthoven and new interpretations of Balthus, Winslow Homer and Magritte were added to the repertoire in these later years when two further solo shows were staged at Castleside Gallery, Cockermouth, in 1996 and 2000. In 1999 he won the Singer Friedlander/Sunday Times watercolour prize with The Thomas Eakins Gallery. In a genial, self-deprecating way, Charles Oakley used to claim that he was having fun and that these "tableaux" were just a way of filling time. But it was much more than that. Serious research would take him off to find the Mallory ice axe at the Alpine Club, or in 1996, back to Rajasthan. And with collectors waiting for paintings that might take months of detailed work to complete, he carried on until his late seventies when his eyes began to fail. Thereafter, he still spent his mornings in the studio, listening to Radio 3 and reading, surrounded by the work of a lifetime. Note: Kenneth McConkey is Emeritus Professor of Art History at the University of Northumbria. He is an expert on British, Irish and French painting of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially Sir John Lavery, British Impressionism and the New English Art Club, and has published extensively on the art of the period, including on George Clausen. Very good condition with no visible or known issues.

* DAVID REDPATH MICHIE OBE RSA RWA FRSA RGI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2015), FIVE DARK FISH ON HEAD oil on board, signed and dated '64framed and under glassimage size 29cm x 36cm, overall size 38cm x 45cm Note: David Michie was born at Saint-Raphaël in the south of France. His father, James Michie, was an architect and painter who had been an apprentice to Edwin Lutyens at the War Graves Commission, helping to lay out cemeteries in northern France after the First World War. His mother was the celebrated artist Anne Redpath OBE RSA. David’s early years were spent living in St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat where his father was private architect to American tycoon Charles Thompson. Later, the vibrant colour schemes of the Côte d’Azur would infuse his work. In 1934, David returned to Scotland with his family and settled in the Scottish Borders where David attended school in Hawick. In 1946, he enrolled at the Edinburgh College of Art but his time there was interrupted in 1947 with the introduction of National Service. He completed his service in the Signal Corps, qualifying as an instructor with the Royal Artillery Signals in 1949 and returned to Edinburgh College of Art where he was taught by William Gillies RSA. In 1953 he received a travelling scholarship to Italy, accompanied by his friend, the painter John Houston. They toured the Renaissance sites of Tuscany, and stayed in the hilltop towns of Anticoli Corrado and Orvieto in Umbria. John Houston RSA and his wife Elizabeth Blackadder RSA were to remain life-long friends. Colour was central to David’s painting. Working in both oils and watercolour, David’s subjects ranged from nature, garden compositions and his observance of people going about their everyday activities. His work was regularly inspired by his travels to far-flung places such as Australia, the USA and across Europe and is very effectively seen in his RSA Diploma painting On the Ramblas (1976) which invokes a colourful and busy Barcelona street scene. David taught widely, lecturing at James Clarke’s School in Edinburgh and Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. He was a visiting professor at the Academy of Fine Art in Belgrade and the University of California. He returned to Edinburgh College of Art to teach painting during the 1960s and 1970s, and was Vice Principal there from1974-77. Between 1982 and 1990 he was Head of the School of Drawing and Painting. In 2009, he received an Honorary Fellowship from the College “in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the life of the college and the education of its students”. David was a prominent member of the Royal Scottish Academy, a former President of the Society of Scottish Artists and a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Founding Fellow of the Institute of Contemporary Scotland. He served on a number of professional panels including those of the Scottish Arts Council and the Scottish Education Trust. Sixty-seven of his paintings are included in many significant public collections such as Aberdeen Art Gallery, Glasgow Museums, the National Galleries of Scotland, the City of Edinburgh Museums, The Fleming Collection and the Tate. David was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1964 and Royal Scottish Academician in 1972. He was appointed OBE in 1997. Was a regular exhibitor in one-man shows at Mercury Gallery and later ones including The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh. Work held by HM Queen Elizabeth II.

He went on to study painting at Glasgow School of Art and became an award-winning watercolourist, constantly inspired by was seascape and ever-changing sky on the Kintyre peninsula where he had a second home. Glasgow-born Wright, the son of a shipyard plater, was brought up in Partick and started his schooling at the city’s Dowanhill Primary before being evacuated to Dunoon during the Second World War. After returning home he attended Hyndland Senior Secondary and despite being discouraged by his parents, who would have preferred him to have a “proper job”, in 1949 he began his studies at Glasgow School of Art. They were interrupted by national service – a duty he felt hindered the progression of his art career. He served at Catterick army garrison but was a pacifist who abhorred war and dismissed the opportunity to be promoted to Sergeant as an army career held no interest. His first teaching post was at East Park School in Glasgow’s Maryhill. He then moved in 1965 to St Patrick’s High School in Dumbarton where he spent two years before becoming art adviser for the area at the age of 36. Over the next two decades he fostered the idea of instilling a cultural interest in art among pupils. He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.

He has been a full-time professional artist since his first one-man exhibition in Edinburgh 1987. Inspired by the artist’s coastal environment near his home in Dunbar, Wood’s palette is infused with the reflection and absorption of light to be found in ever changing elements of Scottish land and seascape. Wood has won numerous prestigious awards. “My work encompasses landscape, seascape and abstraction, using oils, acrylics, collage and mixed media. My working practice is intuitive and improvisational - an approach which fosters the unexpected. Through the processes of painting, of layering and scraping, of looking and reacting, the work finds its own identity, with a purpose, history and a voice of its own. I endeavour to leave enough room for the viewer to engage with my work through the lens of their own experience." He is a Past-President of the Society of Scottish Artists, an elected member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and an elected member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.

He qualified as an architect and worked for many years in Canada and the USA before returning to Bath, England where he now lives. In 1980 Spencer was invited to work as an architect on a conservation study of the historic city of Old Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. This was his introduction to the Middle East, which has remained the main subject matter of his work. Whilst sketching and painting was always a small part of his work as an architect, this quickly became more serious and interest in his watercolour paintings grew quickly during the 1980’s. His continued explorations have taken him to many different regions across the Middle East, where the different architectural styles and spectacular geographical features have provided constant inspiration. His work has become a valuable record of the architectural heritage of Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. and the Oman. Many of the Suks, landscapes and street scenes in Dubai, Bahrain, Riyadh, Jeddah and Muscat have proved to be very popular with both the local and ex-patriot communities. His style of watercolour continues to be admired wherever he exhibits, and his pictures feature in many private collections of discerning buyers around the world. Many are now an accurate historical record of a bygone age. His work is exhibited in selected galleries across the Middle East on a continuous basis.

She also received the Royal Academy of Art, Christmas Design Award (1984, 1985, and 1986) and was runner up Artist of the Year Award 2008. In 1996 she was elected a Member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. She is also a member of ASGFA (The Society of Graphic Fine Art). Talking about her art work Lisa says: 'I am a painter and illustrator of vibrant colourful figurative landscapes. i.e.: undulating countryside, markets, pubs, cafes, French farming scenes and coastal/beach scenes usually featuring dogs and cats and often farm animals such as sheep, donkeys, cows, hens etc..'. Her work is typically colourful and lively and demonstrates a strong sense of observation. Method of Working- Lisa uses light, fast watercolour and acrylic inks which have good reproduction qualities and designer gouache. She paints on very heavy watercolour paper that doesn’t need stretching. She uses brushes, a sharpened end of paintbrush to scratch out detail, fingers, splatter bristle brush, and salt for colour dispersal. Working on one piece at a time, Lisa works from memory, sketches and photos. The initial idea is very loosely mapped out so that the painting can feel spontaneous, and not like painting by numbers. Lisa's work is exhibited widely including at many annual major public exhibitions and at private galleries around the UK.

Her father, landscape artist George Whitton Johnstone RSA (1849–1901), encouraged her artistic talents, and at the age of 16 she enrolled as a student at the Edinburgh College of Art. She took the Life Class with Ernest Stephen Lumsden where she revealed her talents at informal portraiture, a genre for which she became well known. In 1914 she became a member of staff at the Edinburgh College of Art. From the summer of 1915, she became a regular annual visitor to Kirkcudbright in Galloway, where she would paint with other mainly female artists including Jessie Marion King as part of the Kirkcudbright School. Dorothy Johnstone, with her close friends Cecile Walton and Mary Newbery, was a member of The Edinburgh School, which reformed in 1919, a collective of gifted and progressive artists associated with the Edinburgh College of Art. During 1919 she was living in Kirkcudbright where she had an affair with Vera Holme who would go on to be the 'Pankhursts' chauffeur'. In 1924, at the peak of her artistic career, Johnstone mounted a joint exhibition in Edinburgh with fellow artist Cecile Walton. She married her colleague and fellow group member David MacBeth Sutherland in 1924. They had a son, Sir Iain Sutherland, in 1925, and a daughter in 1928. As a consequence of her husband's appointment in 1933 as Head of Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen (now at Robert Gordon's University) and of the "marriage bar" in place at the time, she gave up her career and her students. She kept her links with Edinburgh by continuing to exhibit her portraits and landscapes at the Royal Scottish Academy to which she was elected an Associate (ARSA) in 1962. Johnstone painted landscapes and portraits, particularly of children, and her style was free and relaxed, whether using oil, watercolour, pencil or chalk. Some of her work is displayed at the National Gallery of Scotland. When she died in 1980, she bequeathed her important early painting 'Marguerites' (painted in 1912) to the Royal Scottish Academy.

GEORGE MAYER-MARTON (HUNGARIAN 1897-1960) ⊕ GEORGE MAYER-MARTON (HUNGARIAN 1897-1960) EVENING OVER THE FUNFAIR watercolour on paper 39.5 x 57.5cm; 15 1/2 x 22 3/4in unframed Painted in 1951. GEORGE MAYER-MARTON (LOTS 1-8) Introduction HIS APPEARANCE, ACCENT AND MANNER SPOKE OF A LOST AND TO US LARGELY UNKNOWN MITTELEUROPA. Always meticulously dressed in a suit and wearing a hat and polished shoes, he would arrive in the college with his leather briefcase and don his professional white coat. In Their Safe Haven', Hungarian artists in Britain from the 1930s, compiled and edited by Robert Waterhouse, the bleak story of George Mayer-Marton's dispossession is graphically pieced together from the artist's diaries and first hand accounts. Born in Györ, North Hungary, the artist's formative years had largely been spent in Austria and Germany. During the First World War he had served on the front line in the Austrian army, and - leading up to the Anschluss - he lived in Vienna, happily married and, as vice-president of the Hagenbund, he was a leading voice among contemporary artists. But with Hitler's annexation of the country at the end of September 1938 with Grete his wife he fled Vienna for London. Mayer-Marton's diaries evoke with withering honesty the reception he received and his despairing sense of dislocation: 'For the moment, London spells turmoil, noise, rows of double decker buses and a language one doesn't understand... We observe the English art of 'splendid isolation', their culture of bureaucratic niceties, good manners and cold souls; their complete consideration for others out of consideration for their own piece and quiet.' (Waterhouse, p. 74). Eventually the couple set up home and a studio in St John's Wood, only for the premises to be hit by an incendiary bomb in 1940 during the Blitz. In the ensuing fire Mayer-Marton lost the vast majority of the work he had brought with him. At the end of the War he learnt of the murder of his and Grete's parents together with his brother in the Holocaust. Unsurprisingly these horrors took a mental toll: all too much for Grete, she suffered a nervous breakdown and died in a psychiatric hospital in Epsom in 1952. Yet, despite such a succession of tragedies, Mayer-Marton remained resolutely determined. He strove to replace the works lost in the London bombing, not simply with copies but because he felt challenged by the very different light and landscape of the British countryside, his lightness of touch and deftness of colour are abundantly apparent in the present selection of works. He was also appointed a senior lecturer at Liverpool College of Art, a post in which he flourished. His Liverpool students recalled Mayer-Marton's innovative approach to teaching. He introduced weekly 'Socratic method' seminars, challenging students with rhetorical questions ranging from 'Kant's moral imperative to Schopenhauer's aesthetic theory, the scientific ideas of Einstein, concepts of the primitive in art, abstraction, expressionism, the medieval guilds and so on... these seminars were a decade before the history and theory of art were incorporated into art school curricula in the 1960s' (Waterhouse, pp. 212-213). In Liverpool he also introduced new technical know-how, in particular fresco painting and the re-introduction of Byzantine-style mosaic practices. These he deployed in a series of large scale ecclesiastical commissions in the north-west, including the large Crucifixion mural at the former church of the Holy Rosary, Oldham (1955), Pentecost now in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Crowning of St Clare at St Clare's Church, Blackley. Small dogear upper left corner. There is slight wear to edges of paper. Otherwise this work is in good original condition.

λ DAME LAURA KNIGHT (BRITISH 1877-1970) TWO THEATRE STUDIES: SONJA HENIE AT THE BLACKPOOL ICE DOME & STUDY FOR "PAVLOVA TAKING A CALL" Black crayon, each study executed on two sheets of paper, the set framed as one Both signed (lower right) Each 19 x 30.5cm (7¼ x 12 in.) Overall (including frame): 68 x 53cm (26¾ x 20¾ in.) The top drawing, depicting Sonja Henie, dates in all probability from circa 1935. Knight executed five other works of Henie at the Blackpool Ice Dome, namely The Skater; Finale Skating Ballet exhibited at The Royal Society of Painters and Watercolours; Arabesque on Skate exhibited at the Royal Academy, London in 1965; Five Ballerinas exhibited at Eastbourne Fine Art in 1966 and The Skating Ballet exhibited at the Royal Watercolour Society in spring 1949. Sonja Henie (1912-1969) was a Norwegian figure skater and actress. At the time, Henie won more Olympic and world titles than any other female figure skater, achieving gold medals in 1928, 1932 and 1936. She was world champion ten times between 1927, when she was only 15, and 1936, and six times European Champion between 1931 and 1936. Henie is credited with being the first ice skater to adopt the short skirt costume in figure skating and made great use of dance choreography. She moved from competitive ice skating into films and in 1936 she joined 20th Century Fox studios in Hollywood. The lower drawing is a sketch and draft for Knight's well known ballet painting entitled Pavlova taking a call from 1920 which was exhibited at the Leicester Galleries in the same year. The present drawing can therefore be safely dated to the same period. We are grateful to R. John Croft F.C.A. for his assistance in cataloguing this lot. The works will be included in the Laura Knight Catalogue Raisonne currently being prepared.  Condition Report: Each work is executed on two sheets. Unexamined out of glazed frame. SONJA HENIE AT THE BLACKPOOL ICE DOME There are gaps between the two sheets, where they don't completely align and the edge is not completely straight. Slight undulation to both sheets. Otherwise appears to be in good original condition. STUDY FOR "PAVLOVA TAKING A CALL" There are gaps between the two sheets. The edges are not straight or even and slightly fraying.
