THE FOLLOWING FIVE LOTS ARE TO BE SOLD TO BENEFIT THE WORMWOOD SCRUBS PONY CENTRE

© The Lucian Freud Archive / Bridgeman Images

The Wormwood Scrubs Pony centre is a registered charity providing riding and equine therapy to children, specialising in those with special needs and physical disabilities. Founded in 1989, it celebrates its 30th anniversary this year continuing its dedication to the mission of improving the quality of the lives of children and young people who attend it. Over three decades a number of artists have been attracted by the centre’s horses, and between 2003 and 2006 Lucian Freud was its unofficial ‘artist in residence’. Setting up a

temporary studio, Freud’s regular visits to the centre combined his love of horses, riding and painting. On eventually departing the stables Freud left behind him many of his professional accoutrements – his easel, the charcoal he used for sketching out his compositions, including on the present work, his brushes and palette, tubes of oil paint, the turps tin for thinning his paints, and bundles of the rags he used to wipe off paint from both canvas and brushes. He also left behind Sketch of Goldie. Sister Mary Joy Langdon, the centre’s founder has kindly shared her memories of Freud with us.

INTERVIEW WITH SISTER MARY JOY LANGDON 11th November 2019

KK: Tell us about the first time you met Lucian, what was he like? How did he come across? MJL: I first met Lucian in the stable yard with David Dawson. I showed him around and he seemed to be a very quiet gentleman. I also invited him to take a look at our equestrian library and whilst in there I offered him a book on how to draw horses. [Painting and drawing Horses by Jennifer Bell] At this stage I had no idea how famous an artist he was. He intently looked at the book, carefully turning over each page. He then passed the book back to me saying it’s very good. KK: What was his attitude to horses? Did anything make any particular impression on you? MJL: Lucian wanted to paint an Arab so I took him to the back paddock where he met Releef who is a grey Arab. Lucian seemed keen on Releef despite me telling him that this horse was inclined to nip. He said he wasn’t ‘bothered by nipping’. Lucian was always relaxed in the presence of the horses. He would softly talk to them and the horses always seemed to enjoy the time being drawn and painted. KK: Was Goldie the first horse he chose to paint? MJL: Goldie was the second horse he chose following the painting of ‘The Grey Gelding’. Initially I was a little disappointed that he chose Goldie as I was hoping he would choose to paint Sioux, the skewbald mare. I could certainly understand why he chose Goldie as she was very beautiful and a stunning looking horse and

a very different type to Releef the Arab. She looked a very strong and powerful animal with a long flaxen mane and tail. Goldie was a very independent horse with a strong will. Lucian commenced to work with her but after a few days he said Goldie’s personality didn’t suit him. He then left the sketch and spent time looking for another equine model. It was then that Lucian chose Sioux. I was delighted as Sioux was an extremely special horse to me. It was not long before Sioux also became a special horse to Lucian. KK: What other horses did he paint? Did he have a favourite? MJL: Lucian completed three paintings One of Releef ‘The Grey Gelding’, two Paintings of Sioux ‘The Skewbald Mare’, ‘Mare eating hay’ Sioux was definitely his favourite horse. She responded to him in a positive and interactive manner owing to Lucian’s quietness and love of horses. KK: How often did he come to the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre? Did he come to ride much? MJL: Lucian came several times a week. It would always be in the morning as he said the light was at its best. During conversations with Lucian I soon learnt that he had always enjoyed being around horses. He told me, as a boy at school he would ride his friends pony without a saddle. I invited him to a ride and and he rode Sioux several times. I believe he enjoyed being at the WSPC because as most people there had no knowledge of how famous an artist he was.

This meant he could just freely be himself. On occasions he would hand over an envelope on which he had hand written ‘For SIOUX’. This would be a donation for the charity. KK: What is your fondest memory of Lucian? MJL: One day he came to my house to meet a fox cub that I had hand reared. The fox was so relaxed sitting on Lucian’s lap. Lucian seemed to appreciate this little wild animal who had given him permission to pet him. Following conversations with Lucian I soon realised what a truly honest person he was and of course this is seen in all his art. I can still hear his voice saying in the stable to Sioux, ‘Come on then’. Personally for me it was a great privilege to have known Lucian albeit only for a few years. I remember having a conversation with him about Leonardo da Vinci. At the time I was working through a book called How to think like Leonardo da Vinci. I was surprised that Lucian didn’t have the same enthusiasm as I did for Leonardo. We also spoke about George Stubbs paintings of horses. Lucian was also not a fan of Stubbs. It was also an incredible honour for Sioux and myself to be invited by his family to attend Lucian’s funeral. Sioux stood at the back of the chapel during the service & then walked in front of the coffin to the graveside. Whilst I sat on Sioux near the grave, I watched a little fox sitting out of sight of the family mourners. This little fox appeared to be paying homage to a lover of creation.

16 ARR LUCIAN FREUD, O.M., C.H. (1922-2011) Sketch of Goldie charcoal on primed canvas 24 ¼ x 28 in (61.5 x 71.1 cm) This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Lucian Freud’s works, prepared by Catherine Lampert and Toby Treves £40,000-£60,000

A strong and mystical connection to animals was a constant theme throughout Freud’s art and life. In a conversation with Georgie Greig the artist confessed: ‘I am a sort of biologist. My interest in humans as a subject is as an observer, examiner and watcher of people. I worked a lot from horses in this way.’ John Richardson remarked of Freud: ’I don’t know if he could break a horse, but if anyone could, it was him… He adored animals and they him. It was like some psychic power. Just as Picasso could put his head into a cage of wild birds and one would quietly allow itself to be taken, so too did Lucian have a gift.’ (G. Greig, Breakfast with Lucian A Portrait of the Artist, London,2013, p. 147) Born in Berlin, Freud’s earliest encounters with horses were in the stables at his maternal grandfather’s estate near Cottbus, Germany, where he learnt to ride. Upon his arrival in England at both Bryanston School and Dartington Hall it was reputedly not uncommon for Freud to sleep in the stables. He enjoyed riding so much that he even considered a career as a jockey, and throughout his life he was always partial to a bet. Horses were one of the main subjects of the artist’s early drawings and a small sculpture he completed very early on of a Three-legged horse proved to be a key piece for his acceptance into art school. When asked why it only had three legs, Lucian replied – ‘I ran out of stone’ (ibid, p. 43). It was in his later years when he came across the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre that he embarked on completing some of his finest portraits of horses. His famous Grey Gelding of the Arab stallion Releef painted in 2003, (private collection), Skewbald Mare of Sioux painted in 2004, (Collection of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire) and Mare Eating Hay also of Sioux of 2006 (private collection) were all painted at the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre, which he had turned into a temporary studio. Compositionally all three paintings bear resemblance to the works of Théodore Géricault, whom Freud admired. Grey Gelding’s bold frontal head view of Releef share similarities with The head of white horse (1815, Musée du Louvre) that Freud would no doubt have been familiar with. But Freud removes the horse’s body to focus on the head. Skewbald Mare, commissioned by the Duchess of Devonshire, moves forward to an even more intriguing composition by depicting a side view of Sioux, Freud’s choice of focus being very similar to the present work - Sketch of Goldie - in which Freud deliberately chose to leave the horse’s muzzle truncated. Freud sketched Goldie on a number of occasions, but in the end did not feel a sufficiently strong affinity to complete the horse in oil. Freud is known to have destroyed most of his unfinished works. As a result Sketch of Goldie is not only the sole unfinished piece to have survived from the time he spent riding and painting near the Wormwood Scrubs prison, but also one of the very few such works to exist within his whole oeuvre. The present work provides a rare insight into how Freud embarked on a canvas, first sketching his subject in charcoal then working it up with oil rags dipped in turps. The result is highly gestural: a canvas that possesses the physicality of a painting yet the delicacy of a drawing. Both canvas and line give clear vent to Goldie’s restless energy, while the work itself was Freud’s parting gift to his much cherished Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre and the warm welcome its founder and director Mary Joy Langdon and the community there always offered him.

Painted in 1917, Roger Fry’s depiction of Lalla Vandervelde ranks among his finest portraits. Lalla wears an alluring low-cut yellow dress and in the background is a vase of paper flowers from the Omega Workshops as well as a piece of Omega designed ‘Margery’ fabric. The work belongs to a striking group made in the First World War which includes Edith Sitwell and Nina Hamnett. The setting was Fry’s studio at 21 Fitzroy Street. In December 1917 Fry wrote to Vanessa Bell that ‘Lalla’s very good and punctual and sits very well’ (R. Fry to V. Bell, 12th December 1917).

EXHIBITED: London, Gallery Edward Harvane, Bloomsbury Pie, 1974, no. 24 London, Gallery Edward Harvane, A Homage to Duncan Grant, 1975, no. 27 London, Courtauld Gallery, Portraits by Roger Fry, 1976, no. 19, this exhibition travelled to Sheffield, Mappin Art Gallery, Portraits by Roger Fry, 1976, no 19 London, Courtauld Gallery, Art Made Modern.

Lalla and Fry were great friends and almost certainly lovers (London gossips certainly thought so). She supported Fry’s Omega Workshops, bought paintings by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, and in early 1916 Fry and his Omega assistants decorated her Chelsea flat for her. (Several pieces, including her bed, are now in the Victoria & Albert Museum).

Osbert Sitwell described her as ‘a woman of striking intelligence and humour’... her war-time home being... ‘the resort of modern painters and writers, and of the more unconventionally minded of politicians... Intrepid in mind, with a liking for all new ideas, in music, literature or politics – indeed she tended, perhaps, to like the new for its newness’ (O. Sitwell, Laughter in the Next Room, 1949, p. 9). She was friendly with a number of writers including Arnold Bennett and George Bernard Shaw, and was intimate with Edward Elgar.

Born Charlotte Helen Frederique Speyer in Camberwell, London in 1870, Lalla’s father Eduard Anton Speyer, of German Jewish descent, was a rich financier. In 1901 she became the wife of Emile Vandervelde (1866-1938), a prominent leader in the Belgian Socialist Party and later a Minister of State. During and after the First World War Lalla entertained many writers and painters and was devoted to the Belgian refugees in London. Although later estranged from her husband, she remained faithful to his Socialist and pacifist beliefs and was not averse to using her position as a Minister’s wife to further any cause she espoused.

In 1925 she published her autobiography titled Monarchs and Millionaires. Her character is nicely summed up in her late motor racing endeavours, having taken up the sport as a hobby at the age of sixty. Allanah Harper, editor of Echanges, describing Lalla in Brussels in the late 1920s with ‘flaming, dyed red hair’ driving very fast in an open-topped car. Rumoured to have kept a stream of lover into her old age, Lalla died in London in 1965. Fry had founded The Burlington Magazine in 1903, been appointed Curator of Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 1906, and in 1910 organised the seminal exhibition Manet and the PostImpressionists at the Grafton Galleries, London. It was at this time also that he became associated with the Bloomsbury circle, and it was during the following decade that portraiture in his oeuvre flourished. Working closely with Clive Bell and Duncan Grant, Fry sought to create a ‘directness of sensuous response’ in his compositions, his sitters typically being relaxed, with his finished works epitomizing the personal relationships held between him and his subjects, as in the present example.

Still life played an important role in Wadsworth’s output and was a genre he preferred in key periods throughout his career: 1926-1929, 1934-38; 1941-44. His still lifes of the 1920s prompted press on the Continent to describe him as an English Surrealist. He was the first British artist to earn this label and it was one he strongly disputed. Still life was also a genre that carried a very personal meaning for him. Having died days after his birth, the artist’s mother, Helen, herself a talented amateur artist, left Wadsworth with a small painting of a still life which he is known to have kept and moved with him throughout his life. Painted in 1912 Still Life with Chrysanthemums in a Vase is one of the first known paintings of the genre by the artist and is one of very few he painted real flowers in. The only other comparable piece completed by the artist is Still life with fruit and a bottle in the Government Art Collection. The bright Fauvist palette, the flattened perspective and the Cézanesque contour to the orange all show a great dept to the Post-Impressionist style favoured by Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group at the time. Wadsworth was still at the Slade when Roger Fry’s ground-breaking first Post-Impressionist exhibition took place in London in 1910. Although Professor Henry Tonks did his best to keep his students from the influence of these latest trends, by his last year Wadsworth had already developed links with the adventurous Bloomsbury-backed exhibition group, the Friday Club, which displayed work by, amongst others, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and C.R.W. Nevinson. It is also no surprise that 1912 was also the year Wadsworth visited Paris for the first time to explore the exciting trends there, clearly carrying through that influence into his own work. Still Life with Chrysanthemums in a Vase may hold an even greater personal importance to the artist as it has been suggested that he painted it for his wife, violinist Fanny Mary Eveleigh, whom he married when he was still at the Slade in June 1912. By 1912 Wadsworth was already gaining the respect of his fellow students and other influential figures in the art world in London. In September 1912, Christopher Nevinson wrote to fellow painter Dora Carrington (another ex-Slade student) that he judged Wadsworth’s most recent canvases to be ‘bloody good’ while he admired their ‘healthy strength and vigour and modern feeling and independence’. It is exactly these qualities that Wadsworth cherished the most in his art throughout his career, he believed that ‘a composition should have strength and vigorous immediacy that quickly secured the attention of the viewer.’ Still Life with Chrysanthemums in a Vase holds a special place in the artist’s career, marking the beginning of his ambitious output. Wadsworth participated in a number of key cultural events: in 1913-14 he helped to found the London Group, as a forum for the exhibition of stylistically challenging art; in 1914 he helped to found the Vorticist movement with Wyndham Lewis. Throughout his career he was not labouring under one particular influence and managed to cleverly carve a niche of his own, reserving a significant place for himself in British Art during the first half of the twentieth century.

Glossary of Picture Cataloguing Terms Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact The company reserves the right, in forming our opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by us to be reliable. In accordance with long standing practice in Fine Art Sale Rooms certain terms used in descriptions in the Catalogue have the meanings ascribed to them in the list below: 1.

JMW Turner: In our opinion, a work by the artist. When the artist’s forname(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named.

2.

Attributed to JMW Turner: In our opinion, probably a work by the artist, but less certainly as to the authorship expressed than in the preceding category.

3.

Studio of JMW Turner: In our opinion, probably a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction.

4.

Circle of JMW Turner: In our opinion, a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil.

5.

Style of ...; Follower of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist's style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.

6.

Manner of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date.

7.

After JMW Turner: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist. The term ‘bears the signature’ and/or ‘bears the date’ and/or ‘bears the inscription’ means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand. Dimensions are given height before width. Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated. For editions, we measure the image where possible and sheet only when unframed ARR after the lot number stands for Artist Resale Right
