TEN WORKS BY LEON UNDERWOOD (LOTS 13-22)
13 ARR LEON UNDERWOOD (1890-1975) Joy as it flies (second state) signed and numbered 'M. Underwood' (on the base) bronze with golden brown patina on wooden base 18 in. (46 cm.), high, including base Conceived in 1956. PROVENANCE: The artist, thence by family descent. Private collection, UK. LITERATURE: B. Whitworth, The Sculpture of Leon Underwood, Much Hadham, 2002, p.138, no.170. £5,000-£7,000
“It was his single gift to create these emotional rhythms, to send as it were currents of vital energy flowing through the open ducts of thin bronze” (William Gaunt, Sculpture by Leon Underwood, London, 1963, p.2, Exhibition Catalogue).
‘He who binds to himself a joy Doth the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in Eternity’s sunrise’ (William Blake, Eternity)
The influence behind Underwood’s eclectic range of works derives from both his extensive travels and exploration of a wide range of cultures. Joy as it flies (the present lot) and Jacob and the angel (lot 14), were influenced by his travels to West Africa, yet still retain components of the Palaeolithic cave paintings he studied in Altamira, Spain in 1925. Both works communicate intense movement in their expressive and impulsive gesture. After his trip to Africa in 1945, Underwood largely abandoned carving in favour of creating increasingly exuberant bronze sculptures using a newfound technique of folding back the skin of the sculptures in order to accentuate volume. Joy as it flies is a sculpture pertaining to William Blake’s poem ‘Eternity’. The poem expresses how joy cannot be obtained through material wealth. It was a concept that resonated with Underwood’s own moral principles. As Simon Martin has put it: ‘Underwood’s complex ideas and, sometimes, esoteric philosophies were not always to endear him to the mainstream.’ (Martin, p.34). Instead of focussing his creativity on the pursuit of fame and wealth, Underwood followed his own private inspiration. He was a sculptor, painter, an engraver, printmaker, a draughtsman, an archaeologist, philosopher, teacher and writer. His versatility and the constant evolution of the way he worked meant that Underwood didn’t have an instantly recognisable style. However, his devotion to representing the human figure became central to his aesthetic and a recurring themes in his creative journey.

Mr Turner restoring The Barn was executed from Reginald Brill’s home in the 1960s, the Little Hall. Brill and his wife Rosalie moved to Lavenham to be wardens of a Tudor house, which was owned in the past by one of Brill’s early patrons Col T.G.GayerAnderson and his twin brother. They bequeathed the place to be a hostel for art students.Brill, who spent his life working with young artists, continued this during his retirement. The current drawing with its beautifully rendered details captures the process of restoration to Molet
House, referred to by the locals as ‘The Barn’. Dating from 1480, the Barn has an extensive history with Catherine of Aragon and the Earl of Oxford as some of its most renowned historic visitors.The present owner of the work’s parents bought the place in 1960 and took its restoration to heart.

A GROUP OF WORKS BY PETER SAMUELSON (LOTS 39-46)
39 ARR PETER SAMUELSON (1912-1996) Perry Court oil on board, unframed signed and dated ‘PETER SAMUELSON 38.’ (on the reverse) 20 ½ x 28 in. (52 x 71.2 cm.) The White Heart Pub painted verso. PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. £500-£700
Perry Court, nestled in the valley dominated by the old Roman road to London, with the Nailbourne stream nearby, which curiously flooded once every seven years, was Peter Samuelson's childhood home which he loved. Son of a rich hotelier, Samuelson was sent to study at Eton College, where his artistic talent was recognised and encouraged. He then went on to study in New York School of Fine Art and Applied Arts in Paris. Time spent with Diaghliev’s Ballet Russe in the south of France was also particularly influential on his quick and fluid drawing style. The famous White Hart, painted on the reverse lies just inside the ancient city walls of Canterbury and has remained almost unchanged since 1938, when this picture was painted. There is a particular tension in Samuelson's rendition, which echoes the one of his own personal life and more broadly the world’s, which was about to change significantly. After serving in the Second World War, Samuelson returned to England, where he was involved with work as an illustrator and set designer. He returned to Kent, where he lived with his wife Oona, with whom he separated to later on move to live in a large house in Earls Court which he filled with lodgers whose portraits he famously painted. Most of the works on paper offered in this sale belong to a group called "Still Life & Fantasy". They were completed in response to individual pieces of music which Samuelson heard in rehearsal while drawing some of the most distinguished musicians at the Dutch Radio Orchestra. A special exhibition was held in 1996 at Eton College's Brewhouse Gallery, where some of these works featured. Typical for Samuelson’s highly individualistic style: the use of mirror-writing and his pseudonym signature "Pierre" can be seen throughout the lots of this group. Lots 39-46 are beautiful examples of the amazing fluidity, with which Samuelson captures the essence of his subjects.

‘A portrait sculptor should set to work determined to produce sculpture. The psychological element should not be lost sight of, but it should be subordinated to the aesthetic. One must interpret. If you want a mere record, what’s wrong with Kodak? You go to an artist for a work of art.’ Frank Dobson
During the 1920s and 1930s Dobson gained an outstanding reputation. In 1924, to his great satisfaction, he was the only living British sculptor represented at the Venice Biennale (alongside his works were pieces by the late Henri Gaudier Brzeska). A year later the renowned critic Roger Fry described his work as 'true sculpture and pure sculpture… almost the first time that such a thing has been even attempted in England'. (quoted in N. Jason, The Sculpture of Frank Dobson, London, 1994, p.67) His popularity was so broad, that in 1933 Cowan Douglas Stephenson, who was a director of the corset manufacturers Charnaux, commissioned Dobson to produce a torso to advertise their products. The sculptor produced a stylish piece, considerably superior to the usual display model. As it was created in the studio of Manresa Road, Dobson gave it the impressive sounding title The Manresa Venus. In April 1933 it was unveiled at Selfridges in and declared by the press to be ‘the modern ideal of the perfect figure which would replace the usual ‘caryatids of fashion’’. (ibid p. 83.) Aside from the obvious commercial success of Dobson’s work, Stephenson must have been particularly captured by the piece, as he decided to commission the artist for a much more personal work, namely for a portrait bust of his wife, the actress Jeanne de Casalis. Born in Basutoland in South Africa, Casalis was educated in France. She started her career in music and later began to work on stage in London and also appeared in feature films. She played alongside Vivien Leigh in The Mask of Virtue (1935) and was most known for Cottage to Let (1941) and Radio Parade (1933). The year her portrait bust was conceived, Casalis was playing the Duchess of Portsmouth in Herbert Wilcox’s film Nell Gwyn with Anna Neagle in the leading role. When compared with photographs of the actress, it is clear that Dobson has masterfully captured the general appearance of the sitter. Casalis’ elongated neck, together with the generally simplified features possess a monumentality, intrinsically typical of the sculptor’s work. The sophisticated manner, in which Dobson has played with the plastic masses in order to create this piece makes one unquestionably understand why he is considered one of the pioneers of modern sculpture in Britain. 34

His studies were interrupted by the war years to be resumed in 1947-52, when the Academy re-opened. As a student he won four Landseer prizes for figurative sculpture and was awarded a medal at the XVIth Olympiad Sport in Art exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1948. His passion for sculpture and in particular for portrait sculpture was paving a way for his role as one of the founding members of the Society of Portrait Sculptors, with whom he exhibited regularly from 1952 until his tragically early death at the age of 47.

When Terry condensed the image he had created, simplicity imbued his work with great power. His techniques of painting, printmaking and collage were simple, almost primitive - But no painting of reality can move one quite like the revelation of its underlying structure. His works weave a dream language, a landscape and therefore have a metaphoric power - they float high above the pitfalls of reality. Terry embraced the informal and the irrational, together with the spontaneous and the unknown. He was able to let go - to jump into the dark" D.

“ After the exuberances of these prints of the mid-late 1970s, Caulfield has returned to an imagery that has become progressively more simple, schematic and direct. This begins with the images of jars and pots of 197980, whose printed textures, imitating hand-made papers, mocked the vogue in American printmaking at the time for the real thing. (…) Caulfield’s abiding preoccupation with light is a component of his deepest philosophical and thematic concerns. For light is the very element of the visual, it is the determinant of colour, it discloses space. To consider visual representation and its paradoxes is to contemplate before anything else the phenomenon of light. » M. Gooding, Patrick Caulfield: The Complete Prints 1964-1999, London, 1999, p.14-15.

Painter and sculptor John Edwards was considered one of the rising stars in the British art scene in the 60s and 70s. Stylistically influenced by the abstract impressionists that came in favour in New York at the time, his paintings posses a sculptural feel to them as well. The forms are abstract and his colours bold and vibrant, but his work is not easily grouped with any one movement. In London the Rowan Gallery hosted nine shows for him in between 1967-1981. He exhibited widely in Syracuse, Washington, San Francisco, Turin, Jaipur and New Delhi. According to a label on the back of the stretcher, Verde Antique was among the works exhibited in the Solomon Guggenheim Museum’s Exxo exhibition in 1987. In this sale we have three works by this fascinating, even if somewhat forgotten artist, whose work undeniably deserves to be revisited with view for a wider acclaim. 81
154 ARR JOHN EDWARDS (1938-2009) Highway signed, inscribed and dated ‘ acrylic on canvas, unframed 90 x 66 in. (228 x 167 cm.)
“The power and vitality of the work has much to do with an interplay of opposing forces. Edwards’s art is reductive; abstract language of forms is counterbalancedby the artist’s emotive and lyrical sense of colour.”

He has successfully tackled that most difficult task, which is peculiar to our mechanic age, of finding a modern sculptural metaphor for organic shapes without resorting to the illusionism of an earlier era, This in his Beast series, he captures the essence of their tautly muscled bodies and most notable so in Lion.. whose maned head, when seen frontally is revealed as a great gaping mouth in full roar.” D.

The following text is quoted from an accompanying pamphlet to provide additional context for the work: 'The elastic painting are paintings of pressures, temperatures, changing tension. The colour makes light manifest and the elastic distortion makes tension-energy manifest... If the notion of entropy means a ''coming to rest'' the release of all tension, then the elastic is introducing tension. Perhaps that is why i like the distorted circle or square. It is more organic. Life defies entropy... Physically implanting tension is like feeding the living organism.'

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions 1. BEFORE THE SALE 1.1 Agent for the seller Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. 1.2 Definitions For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot. The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply. 1.3 Catalogue descriptions Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description. The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the Catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof. Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representa-tion of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good. 1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine personally any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them. 1.5 Condition report CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale. This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report. As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto. 1.6 Electricals All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates. 1.8 Reserves Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids. 1.9 Registration to the sale New bidders will need to register prior to the sale.

Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion. 3. CONTRACT FORMATION AND EFFECTS 3.1 Contract of sale The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller. The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer.

Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade. Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts. The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible. 4.11 CITES import and export restrictions Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union. Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority. The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter. Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences. Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations. 4.12 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. 97
CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale. 4.13 Warranties CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law. 4.14 Authenticity warranty In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence in the form of a written report by a recognised expert or test results that the said Lot is not, CA Ltd will refund the purchase price. The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy. 5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART 5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value. It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest. Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value. Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences. 6. JEWELLERY 6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to: • Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour • Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone • Staining • Irradiation • Coating Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof. A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone. If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.
98
6.2 Estimated weights If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy. 6.3 Signatures ‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker. ‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered. ‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client. ‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic. Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details. 7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration. CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto. The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof. Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations. CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps. 8. FURNITURE 8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950 According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale. 9. 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 reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable.
