When the boat came it was pulled right over Renforth, cutting his head open, and he was taken from the water in an exhausted state’.Stephen Renforth was born in Gateshead, Tyneside in 1852. During his life as a waterman, he gained the enviable reputation as a lifesaver and was reputed to have saved 62 lives, 46 of which were from the Tyne. It was at the age of 12 that he rescued the first of many; jumping into the Tyne and rescuing a boy who had fallen in near the Redheugh Bridge. He received the Royal Humane Society Medal in bronze in 1890 for a rescue at Gateshead and was to receive two clasps to the Medal for rescues at Gateshead and Newcastle in 1895 and 1899 respectively. At the first presentation of the Tynemouth Medals made on 7 August 1895 by the Mayor of Newcastle, Alderman W. Stephenson and Joseph Cowen, M.P., three medals were presented and the names of the recipients, numbered in order, were entered in the “Book of Heroes” - that of Stephen Renforth was the second name entered. In his latter years Renforth became blind and the Newcastle Temperance Society and some friends presented him with an organ with the object of providing him a livelihood by playing in the streets. This he played on the streets of Newcastle until his death in 1910. In addition to the above, Renforth was awarded three Royal Humane Society Certificates.…
▲ William Scott RA (1913-1989) 'Orange Still Life', 1956 (William Scott Archive No.1893);verso, pencil sketch of Mary Scott, the artist’s wife, late 1930ssigned 'W. Scott' l.r., gouache50.5 x 68cmProvenance: Private collection, USA;Offer Waterman & Co., London;the property of a private collector.The drawing of Mary Scott is similar to the oil painting ‘Seated Nude’, 1939, Tate, London.We are grateful to the William Scott Archive for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of the present work.In the 1950s, William Scott's use of vibrant colours, like orange and ochre, played a crucial role in his still-life compositions, marking a key period in his artistic development. As a member of the post-war British painting group, including artists such as Patrick Heron, Terry Frost and Peter Lanyon, Scott was influenced by the boldness of abstract expressionism. In 1953, his exposure to the New York School, where he met leading figures like Rothko, de Kooning and Pollock, made a significant impact on his approach to abstraction. Despite this, Scott remained deeply attached to the still-life genre, finding ways to modernise it while infusing it with abstraction. His works from the late 1950s often featured everyday objects like jugs, bowls and pans, painted against bold backgrounds in colours like orange. These hues, especially the warm tones of orange, went beyond mere decoration - they emphasised the physical presence of the objects and imbued the scenes with energy.Scott's choice of orange can be seen as a deliberate effort to elevate these everyday items, drawing attention to their form and giving them a unique vibrancy. This use of colour was particularly striking in works, as seen here in lot 278, where the colour envelops the composition, making items seem dynamic and essential. For Scott, orange was not only a visual tool but also a way to convey a sense of warmth and vitality. It helped balance the austerity of his minimalist approach with the sensuality he sought to evoke. By combining the figurative and abstract elements of his work, Scott's use of orange served as a bridge between his engagement with American abstraction and his European roots in more tactile, representational art.Condition ReportFramed: 67 x 84.5cmThe work is executed on paper. Rippling to the sheet visible when viewed from the side under raking light. Pinholes to top corners. A tiny tear to the extreme upper right corner. Lower edge torn slightly unevenly.
