PHILIP CLAIRMONT
ESTIMATE $35,000 - 45,000
PROVENANCE Private Collection, Dunedin since 1997
1949 - 1984 Country Carnivore Carnival Oil on jute 140 x 94
One of the striking things about Country Carnivore Carnival is the incredible downward vortex of energy that Clairmont channels through the lowered head; down through the seated figure’s arms; and finally through the hand which grips a pencil with vehement force like he would a wood-cutting blade. Also striking, is the bleached sheep’s skull – that stands in for the person’s face – which seems to be spitting white phlegm or snorting shards of bone across the lower half of the painting. In other works from about the same period, we are used to Clairmont showering his compositions with shards of harsh tungsten light – a reference to his habit of painting at night under a bare bulb. But here, the sprays of white paint lend this painting quite a different and explosive expressive energy. Philip Clairmont was celebrated from the late 1970s as perhaps New Zealand’s leading figurative colourist and neo-expressionist. He was born in Nelson in 1949, studied at Ilam in Christchurch under Rudolf Gopas and lived and worked in Auckland alongside Tony Fomison and Allen Maddox during his short career, before committing suicide at the age of 34. He was inspired by the spatial intensities of interiors; obsessed by the theatrical drama of artificial light; and his paintings sought out, as he said, the essence of objects and their suggestive properties.
28 Important, Early & Rare 6:30pm Wednesday 29 October 2014
Alongside such objects as chairs, staircases and fireplaces, and though Clairmont generally shunned the human figure, he returned again and again to the self-portrait. Country Carnivore Carnival is best understood as one of his many selfportraits, but it is unique among them. While many of his portraits include a painted title and some symbolic reference to the sitter’s activity and state of being, these elements often sit outside the figure itself. Self Portrait - Listening to Music (1982) has musical notes floating through the air next to the figure; and in Self Portrait at 33 (1982) Clairmont is accompanied by a distant view, out the window, of Christ on the Cross at Gethsemane. But here, whatever state of mind or ‘bombardment of the senses’ the artist is grappling with, has been folded into the sitter’s head, hand and phlegm. What are we to make of the vehemence, the splattered surface, the tightly gripped pencil in his hand and the skull-head? At the very least, in this remarkable painting, it is a visual echo of the artist’s own claim that ‘painting should be a struggle all the time – an attempt at a break-through.’ ROB GARRETT

John Kinder was an Anglican clergyman, teacher, artist and photographer. Kinder was born in London in 1819, the oldest surviving child of a wealthy merchant and his second wife. As a clergyman Kinder took services at various churches, including St Barnabas’s in Mechanics Bay, St Andrew’s in Epsom and St Mark’s in Remuera. During the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s he was chaplain to the British forces. Although he took up painting and photography as hobbies, it is these that now appear to be his greatest achievements. During his lifetime his work was shown publicly on only two occasions: in 1871 and 1873 at the first two exhibitions of the Auckland Society of Artists, of which Kinder was a founding member.

Felix Kelly is one of New Zealand's most interesting expatriate artists. Born in Epsom in 1914 he claimed to be two years younger most of his adult life. Kelly studied briefly, and even seems to have taught drafting at Elam School of Fine Art. He was only 21 when he left New Zealand in 1935. He never returned. In London Kelly continued his New Zealand occupation of graphic design, working for Lintas, the advertising wing of Unilevers. He also freelanced as an illustrator and cartoonist, especially for Lilliput. His cartoons are not unlike those of the slightly younger Ronald Searle. After the war and the RAF, the focus of his graphic art shifted to book illustration, dust-jacket design and contributions on interior decoration to such fashion magazines as Ideal Home and Harper's Bazaar. In the 1950s and 60s he was acknowledged as one of England's top designers for the theatre, working with the likes of Sir John Gielgud and Dame Sybil Thorndike. Kelly's ambition had always been to succeed as a painter. Emerging in the context of Surrealism and British Neo-Romanticism, he exhibited alongside important British artists such as Lucian Freud, John Piper and Frances Hodgkins. He attracted the attention of the prominent critic and writer, Herbert Read. Kelly's paintings are characterised by his interest in a world forgotten by progress, great houses falling into dilapidation, wind-blasted trees, abandoned locomotives often invested with an eerie watchfulness. Rapidly, Kelly assembled a client list resembling a page from Who's Who or De Brett's. In late career, his knowledge of architecture led to involvement in
46 Important, Early & Rare 6:30pm Wednesday 29 October 2014
house design, most notably his collaboration on the redesign of Highgrove for the Prince of Wales. His most celebrated project was, however, the mural cycle at Castle Howard associated with the filming of Brideshead Revisited in the 1980s. Kelly travelled a great deal. Paintings of Spain and Italy in the 1940s were followed by West African scenes in the 50s and ante-bellum houses in America's Deep South in the 60s. Trips to Russia, Thailand, India and Egypt in the 70s and 80s each led to an exhibition of exotic paintings. In late career, Kelly would execute a small sketch characterised by loose brushwork, which would then be converted into a carefully executed big-scale painting. Both types of work appear for sale from time to time. Perhaps most interesting for a New Zealand audience are the paintings of Auckland subjects done decades after he had left home. Auckland's West Coast beaches or Takapuna with Rangitoto beyond, or paddle-steamers on the Waitemata, were evoked with an increasing degree of fantasy well into the 1960s. A quirky humour pervades his work. Felix Kelly has to be one of New Zealand's most individual artistic exports. A comprehensive exhibition of his earlier work, curated by Donald Bassett and mounted by the Hawke's Bay Museum and Art Gallery, toured several New Zealand centres in 2008-9. A second edition of Donald Bassett's book Fix; The Art and Life of Felix Kelly, was published in 2013.

Like many successful painters of this era, Raymond McIntyre’s life abroad enabled him to engage with contemporary European trends inaccessible from New Zealand. Having moved to London in 1909, thirty one year old McIntyre was a well established figure in the local art scene in the early 20th century. Here he enjoyed a successful relationship with the Goupil Gallery, London's leading international contemporary gallery of the time. He exhibited with the New English Art Club and had work accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts. A private person, he did not exhibit between 1926 and his death in 1933, the reasons for which are not fully clear. Entrance to the Park is one of a series of London street scenes painted

between 1911 and 1926 and depicts a gathering of walkers at the gated entrance of a garden. Short, thick strokes of paint capture the essence of his subject rather than its details, showing influences of impressionism while the vibrant colours reflect Mclnytre's ongoing interest in Fauvism. Painted from a high view point, typical for Mclntyre, it is an eloquent work that displays a quiet confidence. Entrance to the Park relates strongly to a watercolour Park Entrance c.1920 illustrated p. 64 Raymond Mclntyre: A New Zealand Painter, 1984, Heineman.

Ahinata Te Rangituatini, also known as Kapi Kapi, of Rotorua was one of Goldie’s favourite sitters and he painted her at least twenty two times. She was an Arawa Chieftainess, a member of the Tuhourangi tribe living at Whakarewarewa. The sister of the Arawa chief Haerehuka, Kapi Kapi survived the 1886 Tarawera eruption and witnessed the assault of Pukeroa Pa at Ohinemutu. On her shoulders were scars of wounds self-inflicted with pieces of obsidian as a sign of mourning.

According to the historian and friend of Goldie, James Cowan, Kapi Kapi worked until the end of her long life, evidence, in his opinion, that the ‘old-time Maori’ were ‘truly a Spartan race’. Kapi Kapi was renowned for her moko, which Goldie depicted in fine detail. According to Cowan, she was the only Maori woman painted by Goldie who had a rare spiral nostril tattoo. She died at the age of 102 after falling into a hot pool, it is said deliberately as was the custom among some of the aged Maori.

Peter McIntyre was born in Dunedin. His father, a lithograpic artist, founded Dunedin’s Caxton Printing Company. Young McIntyre attended Otago Boys’ High School and the University of Otago. He studied painting under Dunedin artist Alfred O’Keeffe. McIntrye left New Zealand to study at London’s Slade School of Art from 1931 until 1934. He worked in Britain as a free-lance artist until enlisting in 1939 with the 34th Anti-Tank Battery, a New Zealand unit formed in London. In 1941 whilst serving in Egypt, he was appointed as New Zealand’s official war artist by Major General Freyberg. From 1941 to 1945 McIntyre recored action in Crete, North Africa and Italy. His work was exhibited in New Zealand and Europe and reproduced in magazines such as the Illustrated London News and the New Zealand Listener. His work from this period belongs to the collection of war art at the National Archives in Wellington. Returning to New Zealand in 1946 McIntyre began a long and illustrious post war career. He lived and exhibited in Wellington, frequently undertaking painting trips abroad. In 1962 A.H. Reed published The Painted Years, the first of eight books he would illustrate and write between then and 1981.

Travels to Antarctica, Hong Kong, the Pacific Islands and the American West provided material for these sought-after publications. Many of the Hong Kong paintings (see Lot 50) were seen throughout the United States in a three year touring exhibition. McIntyre owned a holiday cottage in Kakahi which became both his studio and retreat. The King Country inspired some of the artist’s finest work and he painted the landscape, inhabitants, native bush, rivers and farming scenes of the central North Island. This work, King Country Farmer, convey’s his affinity with both the landscape and personalities of the region. In 1970 McIntyre was awarded an OBE. In the 1970s and 1980s his work continued to draw attention through record prices and gallery attendances. A retrospective exhibition of McIntyre’s war paintings was held at the City Gallery in Wellington in 1995. Opening on 22 July, the show had been visited by more than 22,000 people when the artist died in Wellington on 11 September. Today he is recognised as one of this country’s most important artists.

Born in Balclutha 1922 Douglas Badcock had a highly successful professional art career. Preferring to paint en plein-air, mostly in oil, Douglas earned a reputation as one of New Zealand’s leading landscape painters. His paintings are included in the Queen of England’s collection and King of Thailand’s collection. Douglas was a Kelliher Art Award winner and several books have been published on his work. He came second in the 1959 Kelliher Art Award and third in the 1962 award. Badcock held his first exhibition in Wellington in 1960, selling out within two days. A review at the time described him as ‘a realistic painter and absolutely sincere with a natural talent and a high technical standard ... A master of the New Zealand landscape, he paints New Zealand as he sees it’. He produced at least three publications: My Kind Of Country then later My Kind of Painting and A Painter in Fiji. In a Listener article in 2004, Mr Badcock said: I paint seas, skies, mountains. I paint the world I know, as it appears to me. I have an image that is there and I have to record it. When I’m painting I let the subject reveal itself. Picasso said I don’t seek, I find. And finding is a revelation – intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. The primary motivation is self-expression, but if there’s no vision, if we don’t see beauty in nature any more, then we’re nowhere.

Kathleen Browne is remembered as a gifted art teacher and talented artist. She was born in New Zealand in 1905. Her mother was an opera singer and her father a journalist. After completing studies at Canterbury College in Christchurch she taught art throughout the 1920s before heading to London in 1932. She enrolled at Chelsea School of Art, honing her skills in life and portrait art, etching and engraving. During the war she taught at a number of schools and the Royal Holloway College and worked for the BBC. She nearly lost an eye while
helping fight a blaze, caused by a German bomb, on the roof of a friend’s house. She married fellow artist Marian Kratochwil in 1961. He helped her run her Chelsea art school and accompanied her on many trips abroad, where they painted and visited art galleries. Kathleen’s early influences included Rembrandt, who, her husband said, she fell in love with. “Her early etchings were influenced by that master,” he wrote in a book about her life. “Her fellow students used to call her ‘Mrs Rembrandt’.” Among her pupils was a young actress, Joan Collins.
In 1979 Kathleen retired. She moved to Hampstead and concentrated on her own work. She died in 2007 at the age of 101. Author and biographer Tim Jeal, a pupil of Kathleen’s, writes: “She was a gifted teacher and wonderful artist. In the mid1990s Kathleen began to lose her sight – a terrible misfortune for an artist – but she never expressed bitterness or self-pity, remaining serene and generous-hearted to the end.”

Misty Morning Venice c.1890 (detail) - Painted 2014 Oil on canvas 61 x 91 cm This painting depicts the entrance to the Grand Canal with the Customs House and Santa Maria Della Salute Basilica. In the foreground we see a small ‘straight stemmed’ yawl and a traditional bragozzo lug sailed fishing boat. Further in the background is a trabaccolo, a traditional sailing cargo vessel of Venice, trying to ‘tack out’ of the Grand Canal in light winds. A light breeze creates ‘catspaws’ on the water and the warm sunlight on the vessels and buildings is reflected in the calm water. The misty conditions gives a softening effect to the scene.
