Yeats London Design
Chris Hancock studied Architecture and Design in London during the late Sixties/early Seventies. He worked for a small Architectural and Design firm in London, eventually taking over the company in the late Seventies. From a very young age Chris was an enthusiastic collector of varied memorabilia. Like many young boys growing up in the immediate post war years he was an avid hoarder of a large selection of Dinky toys. While his fascination with toys waned, his collecting instinct did not diminish and grew into a lifelong passion.
Based in London throughout his career, he had ready access to all the galleries and auction houses which enabled him to pursue his passion for collecting, beginning with a single purchase of a Royal Doulton vase. While at college he discovered and admired the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Art Nouveau movement. This was followed by a by a wider interest in all Twentieth Century Art, Ceramics and Furniture. He became an early member of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. As the scope of his interest grew, he joined many other societies including The Thirties Society (subsequently the Twentieth Century Society), and the Decorative Arts Society, expanding his knowledge in all of these fields. Chris particularly enjoyed these Societies’ many trips, with others who shared his interests, within the UK, Europe and worldwide. He had a limitless appetite for knowledge about Twentieth Century art and design which stayed with him throughout his life.
Chris’s wife, Carole adds:
“Living with Chris was akin to living with a museum curator with his own private museum. Life was always interesting, and I learnt an immense amount from him. There were always new pieces of art works coming into the house and fighting for space on a wall or in a cabinet. He was precise about where items should be placed could always spot if a painting or piece of pottery had been moved! His ‘museum’ was also a family home to three lively boys and several pets over the years. Although much of the collection was quite susceptible to accidents, it is remarkable that very few occurred. We lived alongside this fascinating collection as it grew over fifty years and Chris thoroughly enjoyed showing it to likeminded people”.

GILBERT BAYES (BRITISH 1872-1953) FOR ROYAL DOULTON
THE ROMAN GALLEON, 1928
glazed stoneware, on ebonised base
Provenance: Fine Art Society, London, 8th December 1995.
Literature: Irvine, Louise and Atterbury, Paul, ‘Gilbert Bayes: Sculptor 1872-1953’, Richard Dennis 1988, pp. 36-37; p.171 illus.
£800-1,200 3
During the 1930s, Gilbert Bayes worked on a community art project for the St. Pancras Housing Association Improvement Society as part of a slum clearance scheme at Sidney Street in Somerstown, north of Euston station, and at other sites across London. The aim was the provision of high-quality homes for the poorest tenants. The society’s architect was Ian B. M. Hamilton, the grandfather of the current owners, and he designed all the new flats to stand on the cleared land. Since Bayes believed that art should be available to all people, this commission was very close to his heart. He produced relief model lunettes of fairy tale characters, as well as ceramic sculptures and post finials for the washing line posts. The finials were inspired by animals and plants, nursery rhymes, Christmas cards, or the lives of the saints.
All the post finials and relief panels were made by Royal Doulton between 1931 and 1938 and, as well as at Somerstown the Society, Doulton commissioned these embellishments by Bayes at their other London projects. This Rose finial, for example, was used at the York Rise Estate (1937-8) near Highgate Hill and the Ship finials at St. Francis and St. Martins flats.
All the original post-finials for the project have now been removed, although some original relief plaques and ornaments remain at Sidney Street.

oak, Macassar ebony, and boxwood, glazed doors and central metal-lined cellar drawer 103cm (40in) wide, 208 1/2cm (82in) high, 64cm (25in) deep
Provenance: Harold W. Goddard, Lyndwood House, Leicester and by family descent; Christie’s, London, 18th November 1994, lot 87.
Note: The Goddard family of Leicester were chemists who patented mercury-free silver and brass polishes, building a large business whose brand name is still synonymous with metal polishes today. They were major patrons of Peter Waals and commissioned many pieces of furniture from him in the 1920s and 30s. The current lot was made for Harold Goddard and can be seen in a period photograph of the dining room at Lyndwood, his home in Leicester. The metallined cellar drawer may have been used for silver, as the household was strictly temperance. £4,000-6,000

Voysey’s preferred material for furniture was unstained and unpolished oak. He did however specify other materials when he felt them appropriate, in particular, if the other furniture in the house was of a differing material or when specified by a client. He reiterated this to Arthur Simpson of Kendal in 1909 stating that “You must have oak everywhere or nowhere. I will not be a party to the mixture.”
A scarce example of his work in mahogany was a commission from the painter Edward Hughes who asked Voysey to design a corner sideboard for his house at 7, Lodge Place in St. John’s Wood in 1898. Voysey obtained quotations for the piece from Frederick Coote in mahogany and deal and mahogany was chosen. Other examples include a fitted scheme in mahogany for Leslie Paton at 29 Harley Street, London in 1919, although no records are known for moveable furniture. An entry in Voysey’s black book a G.W. Glynn at 8 Netherhall Gardens in 1910 includes a music cabinet and other unspecified ‘furniture’. The current lot and its companion, lot 58, were presumably from a similar commission where mahogany was the more appropriate material.

‘ANATKH’ (DESTINY), 1918 patinated bronze on a slate base, model for The Ramsgate War Memorial, signed and dated bronze 56cm (22in) high; including base 59cm (23 1/4in) high Literature: Irvine, Louise and Atterbury, Paul, ‘Gilbert Bayes: Sculptor 1872-1953’, Richard Dennis, 1988, p. 124 illus. £6,000-8,000
British sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953) rose to prominence in tandem with a burgeoning demand for the arts. In the wake of WWI, there emerged a desire to erect commemorative statues which symbolised the trauma of war and the tragic loss of life. Bayes’ workshop was at the forefront of the public’s stimulation of a war memorial movement, representing one of the greatest examples of national patronage of sculpture. Exhibitions were held at the Victoria & Albert Museum and Royal Academy to aid local communities and regions in their choice of sculptors, materials and subject matter. Bayes’ emotive work, Destiny, was shown at the Royal Academy in 1916, and subsequently used as the centrepiece for the Ramsgate War Memorial. This bronze statuette of this model was produced later in 1918.

Minton Secessionist Wares: Léon Solon & John Wadsworth
Léon-Victor Solon (1872-1953), the son of famed Minton designer Louis Marc Solon, was born in Stoke-on-Trent and joined Minton’s as a designer in 1895 with the intention of revitalising the firm’s competitive edge. By 1901, Solon was in need of an assistant designer and appointed a young John W. Wadsworth (1879-1955) to the position. Together, Solon and Wadsworth collaborated on what came to be Minton’s most successful Art Nouveau range: Secessionist Ware. In producing this range, the company sought to align itself with this highly progressive European art movement. However, the stylised decoration for this range also draws much inspiration from the avant-garde Glasgow School.
Designs produced for the range were heavily characterised by a raised linear decoration using the slip-trailed technique. This method involves piping liquid clay by hand to form a raised outline using a tubular tool, which was squeezed so that the mixture flowed. The coloured lead glazes were then painted within the raised outlines, sometimes overflowing the lines and mingling with each other, before the finished piece was fired. The coloured glazes are particularly striking in their rich polychromy of bold tones, likely inspired by Solon’s personal interest in this ancient practice.
Beyond their distinctive decoration, pieces included in the range can be identified by the Minton’s factory marks specially designed by Solon and Wadsworth. One mark contains the words ‘Mintons Ltd’ in Art Nouveau lettering, in which the ‘S’ exaggeratedly sweeps back and underneath. Another more rare mark found on pieces from 1901-1903, features ‘Mintons Ltd’ framed in a square border. These earlier Secessionist pieces are likely to have been the work of Solon; designs produced after 1905 are attributed to Wadsworth, after his appointment to art director that year. Today, the designs of both men are held in high regard, and in particular, their designs for Minton Secessionist Wares for Minton’s are widely considered a significant contribution to the British Art Nouveau style between 1890 and 1914.

Born in Macclesfield, Wadsworth studied at Stockport School of Art and the Royal College of Art. In 1901 he was appointed assistant art director to L. V. Solon at Mintons, designing Secessionist ware, and became full art director soon after in 1905. He was art director at Royal Worcester from 1915 until returning to Mintons in 1935, where he remained until his death.

Provenance: Phillips, London, 28th March 1995, lot 334.
Note: Archibald Knox was Design Master at Kingston School of Art until his unorthodox teaching method was condemned by the South Kensington Examination Board, prompting his abrupt resignation in 1911. When it emerged that Knox would not be returning to Kingston, a group of his former students also resigned their places in protest. One of these students, Denise Wren (nee Tuckfield), went on to help establish the Knox Guild of Design and Craft in 1912, a studio workshop in Kingston-Upon-Thames where Knox continued to be a source of inspiration. Wren’s own pottery designs in the 1910s and 1920s can be seen to incorporate Knox’s Art Nouveau and Celtic motifs clearly. The Oxshott Pottery was set up by Denise Wren and her husband Henry at their home, Potters Croft, in Oxshott, Surrey in 1920. £400-600

Kate Harris Silverware
Kate (or Katie) Harris, is broadly considered one of the most important designs for the London-based firm, William Hutton & Sons. From 1899 to around 1905, she produced exquisite designs for artistic silver. Often featured in The Studio magazine, her work received much critical acclaim and is still admired by many collectors today.
An advocate of organic forms, executed with the finest material, sinuous botanical motifs dominate her work, serving both a decorative and structural purpose for the piece itself. Perhaps Harris’ best-known designs however, are those featuring a classically stylised figural form, typically austere in feeling and with fewer erotic overtones than Continental Art Nouveau counterparts. The skilled craftsmanship to bring these designs to life showcase the elegance and simple beauty that is so synonymous with Harris’ work.
Included in this sale are a number of pieces by Harris at the peak of her career. One such example is an inkstand which she was commissioned to design in 1902, and adopted as one of the prizes issued by the Art Union of London. The Union’s annual report of that
year indicates eighteen examples of the inkstand were allocated as prizes. The report also wrote of her design, ‘The charming and original inkstand, designed for the Society by Miss Katie J Harris will be especially noticed…Miss Harris’ future career will be watched with interest’.
The period between 1880 and 1914 offered fresh opportunities to women artists in training and employment, and there was a growing number of women artist-designers names published in popular art magazines at the time. However, despite her name being a major contributor to the commercial Arts and Crafts style, little is known about the life and career of Katie Harris. While Harris may have been one of Hutton & Sons brightest talents, it was commercial standard practice for designs to be attributed to the firm itself, and not the individual designer. As a consequence, even successful artists would remain largely anonymous and it became challenging, particularly for women, to forge a prosperous artistic career. Though her biography remains vague, her accomplishments in silverware design are recognised and reflected in the high prices her work commands in the art market today.

Richard Shone
Roger Fry’s appreciation of, and efforts to promote Post-Impressionist art were key to introducing Britain to recent developments in European art. Fry curated two PostImpressionist exhibitions in London, the first in 1910 and the second in 1912, with the intention of showing the ways in which Impressionism had expanded and developed from its French origins and taken root in other countries, specifically in England. The work of French artists such as Cézanne, Bonnard and Matisse were juxtaposed with that of a new generation of British artists made in response to art made on the Continent. Fry’s intention was to show the artistic and cultural exchange between Great Britain and mainland Europe.
One of Fry’s ambitions was to encourage a better appreciation of Cézanne’s achievements and he was the first British critic to champion his work. Fry’s 1927 study, Cézanne, remains the supreme introduction to a painter he regarded as the ‘greatest master of modern times’. On a trip to France in October 1919, Fry spent time in Cézanne’s hometown of Aix-enProvence, the surrounding areas painted by the artist, and his house, the Jas de Bouffan. The magnificent countryside inspired Fry to paint, and led him to declare Cézanne a ‘pure naturalist’.
Fry believed form, not subject matter, should be the primary expressive element in art. Cézanne’s aims closely aligned with Fry’s ideal, as it gave formal expression to nature. In his 1927 study, Fry asserts that Cézanne’s art is the antithesis of the abstraction of Cubism, constantly questing instead to explore the inner face of nature.
He also notes the artist’s powers as a colourist as among the supreme aspects of his genius. Typical of Cézanne’s style, according to Fry, are the pulsating rhythms and constructed strokes that create geometric forms. According equal emphasis to all areas of the canvas, the entire picture surface is imbued with ‘the vibration and movement of life’. In one passage, Fry writes ‘Cézanne reduces actual objects to pure elements of space and volume. In their abstraction, the objects are then brought back into the concrete world of real things by expressing them in an incessantly varying and shifting texture. They retain their abstract intelligibility and regain that reality of actual things which is absent from all abstractions.’
For all his academic influence, however, Fry primarily saw himself as an artist. His championship of Post-Impressionism was accompanied by a dramatic change in his own painting, becoming more experimental in style. His landscapes are arguably Fry’s most notable contribution to English Post-Impressionism, in which trees are ground down to the simplest geometrical shapes and clouds stalk the skies. He was
interested in the capturing of light and mood of places, and his desire for clear-cut shapes and colours is expressed in sturdy geometric shapes.
Fry was a regular visitor to southern France for much of his life. He had great admiration for its various landscapes, for the light and colours of the Midi, for the lifestyle and customs of its inhabitants, its broadly democratic attitude to culture, its architecture and artistic heritage. His extensive trips deepened his love of Provence, where he was eventually to buy a farmhouse. In 1931 he acquired Mas d’Angirany, on the Route d’Antiques leading out of St Remy-de-Provence, which he shared with Charles and Marie Mauron. It was surrounded by olive groves and the upper floor looked across to Les Alpilles, extraordinary geological formations that have been weathered into grotesque shapes and pitted by ravines that have cut their way through the rocks. Vincent Van Gough’s ‘Ravine’, painted shortly after his arrival at the Saint-Paul asylum in 1889, depicts a nearby ravine in Saint-Remy; a possible inspiration for Fry’s later production of a similar scene.
Frances Spalding has written ‘some of Fry’s most lyrical late landscapes, with their observation of flickering light an intense responsiveness to the spirit of the place, were painted in the area in and around St Remy’. Until the end of his life, Provence would remain Fry’s favourite part of France.
It was a painter’s love, ultimately visual.
“ Roger Fry, seen as the arch-exponent of formal values and aesthetic decorum, was frequently drawn in his painting to the most romantic and picturesque aspects of the landscape - to the jagged profiles of unpopulated hillsides, to ravines and mountain pools. ”

‘All art is equal - there was no hierarchy of value. Elvis was to one side of a long line while Picasso was strung out on the other side ... TV is neither less nor more legitimate an influence than, for example, is New York Abstract Impressionism’ Richard Hamilton was interested in graphics and printing, particularly the impact of technology on the production of art and the evolution of a creative idea. He had studied engineering draughtsmanship as well as art, and worked for a period as a commercial designer. Always keen to embrace new technologies, he was quick to utilise computer-generation in the production of artworks. We can see many of Hamilton’s interests and technical skills come together in Five Tyres Remoulded.
This iconic work from 1971 was many years in the making; Hamilton originally started work on the first drawings that would evolve into this project in 1951. He wanted to engage with the visual impact of an everyday but skilfully-
designed object, the car tyre. He started with a series of perspective drawings which eventually became a six-coloured screenprint in 1964. He wanted to emboss the sheet with a very stark relief but was not yet able to fully resolve how to do this; the work therefore became Five Tyres Abandoned. It was not until 1970 that a solution arose, when the art dealer Carl Solway saw the work in Hamilton’s studio and suggested he find a computer programme that would resolve the perspective problems.
The final work comprises one collotype printed with text, seven screenprints in black on mylar that superimpose over each other and one relief cast in white silicone elastomer. Conveying the perspective, depth and texture of tyre design, the refined composition belies the complex, near-two-decade production process. Five Tyres Remoulded showcases and elevates an everyday item; for Hamilton, something as carefully designed as car tyre would always be an artwork.

In 1970-72 the artist released the documentary ‘Hundertwasser’s Rainy Day’ with director Peter Schamoni. The film, which followed Hundertwasser as he rebuilt an old ship named the Regentag (Rainy Day), was presented at Cannes and received an Oscar nomination. Hundertwasser also produced a portfolio of ten silk screen prints relating to the film, titled ‘Look at it on a rainy day.’ Produced in collaboration with German art printer Günter Dietz, the complex printing process involved many colour separations, and implemented layers of glass dust to give a radiant and reflective effect. Each portfolio was presented in a wooden box which was signed and numbered by hand.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian visual artist and architect. His extensive travels informed his commitment to organic form and the natural world, which he believed were integral to human wellbeing. Hundertswasser founded the ‘transautomatism’ style, which was defined by a rejection of the straight line and the implementation of vibrant colour, abstraction and fantasy components.

Kaisarion was standing a little forward, dressed in pink tinted silk, on his dress a garland of hyacinths, his belt a double row of sapphires and amethysts;
his shoes were tied with white ribbons embroidered with rose coloured pearls…
Kaisarion all grace and beauty.
David Hockney first experimented with printmaking as an art student studying at the Royal College of Art in London. At one point, having run out of funds, he was unable to purchase any further art materials until he discovered that in the printing room, materials were free.
In this period, Julian Trevelyan was in post as Professor of Printmaking at the College, inducting students into the process and its extensive potential for creative expression. With a painter’s perspective, Hockney brought a spontaneity to the technical process of etching and his abilities were quickly recognised when he won the prestigious Guinness Award for Etching while still a student.
Kaisarion and all his Beauty dates from 1961, the year prior to Hockney’s graduation from the RCA. Hockney had recently discovered the work of contemporary Greek poet Cavafy and was captivated. Cavafy did not shy away from his gay identity and his work has been described as holding ‘the historical and the erotic in a single embrace.’
In this etching, Hockney takes inspiration from the poem which describes, in sumptuous detail, the imagined figure and dress of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra’s son, Kaisarion (Caesarion).
The composition is deceptively simple at first glance, with hand-written text overlaying the image like graffiti and the figures conveyed in a sketchy and naïve style. Yet the imagery is complex; this Kaisarion stands atop a cloaked figure, possibly the artist, and his classical, regal profile is at odds with his round, patterned body and spindly limbs. To the right appears the artist’s mother, depicted as Cleopatra, with the Royal College of Art insignia a floating crown above her head. A miniature army spreads along the bottom and up the left-hand edge. The work is compelling, an entanglement of the ancient and modern as the artist interweaves his own response and experience into the imagery of the poem.

WOMAN AND CHILD IN A GALLOWAY LANDSCAPE, 1891 oil on canvas, signed and dated 46cm (18in), 52cm (20 1/2in)

Hornel’s biographer, Bill Smith, has argued that this painting appears to confirm that Hornel had ‘heard about, if not seen’ the work of Paul Gauguin (1843-1903). (op.cit., p.68) He explains: ‘In style it is very similar to the work being done by Gauguin and [Emile] Bernard at this time. It is a rather expressive painting. The pigment is very freely handled, the rich colour applied both in broad flowing brushstrokes and in small patches. In several areas Hornel has given the surface a textured appearance. The pose of the woman and the little girl standing on the treeless hillside, bound together in the blustery wind by the long white shawl-like material billowing over their heads, the dark meandering stream, the winding path and the curve of the horizon all combine to give the painting a wonderful flowing rhythm. The drama is heightened by the appearance of the moon just above the horizon and the pink glow of the sunset reflected in the clouds.’

DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961)
FISHING BOAT, MOROCCO, C.1899
oil on canvas, 25.5cm (10in), 33cm (13in); together with two accompanying works ‘Figures by a Bridge, Morocco’ and ‘Berber Village, Morocco’, both oil on canvas and both 25.5cm (10in), 33cm (13in) (3)
Provenance: Christie’s Scotland, 8 June 1995, lot 919 (as ‘Figures by a Grounded Fishing Boat, Tangier, circa 1897’ and sold with ‘two others, similar’).
£10,000-15,000
Fishing Boat, Morocco is an accomplished early work by J. D. Fergusson, which he painted during a trip to North Africa inspired by the travels of the artist Arthur Melville (1855-1904). Fergusson’s recollection of the exact date of his trip was not precise, but it is believed to have been undertaken in 1899.1 As his biographer, Kirsten Simister, has explained: ‘From a very early stage in his career travel was to provide a crucial spur to his artistic development’ and his first trip abroad is thought to have been to Paris in 1897.2
Melville, a forerunner of the Glasgow Boys, was an exceptional watercolourist and an intrepid traveller; he spent time in Morocco in 1890 and 1893. Forty years later, Fergusson recalled: ‘I had heard of Melville; he was my first influence. Although I never met him or even saw him, his paintings gave me my first start; his work opened up to me the way to free painting – not merely freedom in the use of
paint, but freedom of outlook.’ 3 His wife, the dance pioneer Margaret Morris, continued the story: ‘Fergus, having been much impressed by the wonderful free paintings of Morocco by Arthur Melville of the Glasgow School, decided to go and see for himself the effects of intense light and shadow. He told his family he would certainly not write and had no idea how long he would stay.’ 4
Painted on an easily portable canvas measuring 10 x 13 inches, Fishing Boat, Morocco reveals an example of the bustling scenes which caught Fergusson’s eye during his explorations. His enjoyment of the application of oil paint is clear in the freely executed brushstrokes. A skilful use of highlights, especially of bright red, is combined with a muted palette in which tonal values are explored and hints at the colourist he would become.
Fergusson’s pride in his Moroccan works is proven by the fact that they made up the majority of the works he exhibited with the Royal Society of British Artists in London between 1901 and 1903. Few are extant, but examples are held by The Fergusson Gallery, Perth (1992.123), University of Stirling (1968.2) and Glasgow Life: Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (3163).

JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961) ROYAN, 1909 oil on board, signed, inscribed and dated verso 26cm (10 1/4in), 34cm (13 1/2in) £30,000-50,000
Fergusson painted Royan during the exceptional period when he lived in France from 1907 until 1914. More than any other British artist, he played a part in the heady creative circles of Paris’s pre-war art world and whilst there made the works on which his international standing is based.
Following sporadic attendances at the Académies Colarossi and Julian in the French capital in the late 1890s, Fergusson began his career in Edinburgh. His first solo exhibition was held at the Baillie Gallery in London in 1905. However, as Alice Strang has explained: ‘An increasing interest in developments in contemporary art in Paris and parallel frustration with the conservatism of the art world in Scotland, an inheritance following his father’s death in 1906 and the start of his relationship with the painter Anne Estelle Rice (18771959) in Paris-Plage in 1907, culminated in Fergusson’s decision to move to Paris later that year.’ 1
Fergusson declared ‘Paris is simply a place of freedom’ and established himself in a studio in Montparnasse. 2 First-hand experience of the very latest developments in French art, such as those made by the Fauve artists Henri Matisse, André Derain and Kees van Dongen, had an immediate and dramatic effect upon his work, as can be seen in Royan. This encompasses the bold colour, simplification of form and expressive technique which signalled Fergusson’s progression from the Edwardian sophistication of his earlier work to the forefront of the avant-garde.
Royan dates from a key year in Fergusson’s career. In 1909 he exhibited at the Venice Biennale for the first time and moved to the inspiring environment of a new light and orderly studio, in the rue Notre Dame des Champs. Moreover, as Kirsten Simister has written: ‘Fergusson’s artistic confidence and ambition reached an all-time high in 1909 when he was elected a Sociétaire of the Salon d’Automne and given an entire wall for his exhibits.’ 3 Election to this progressive exhibiting society was recognition by Fergusson’s peers of his contribution to the modern movement and he recalled: ‘To me, considering myself a revolutionary, this was a very great honour…it
had the effect of confirming my feeling of independence, the greatest thing in the world, not merely in art but in everything.’4 Rice received the same honour the following year and together they became key figures in the celebrated group of Anglo-American artists who, for example, founded the cutting-edge journal Rhythm in 1911. After three years of encouragement from Fergusson, his fellow Scottish Colourist Samuel John Peploe moved to Paris in 1910, where he lived for two years.
Simister continues: ‘In both 1909 and 1910 Fergusson, Peploe and Rice spent summer holidays together painting in Royan and nearby Saintonge, on the west coast of France. The sea and harbour inspired a number of small paintings made outdoors, which make use of stronger colour to heighten the emotional impact and mood of the scene…[Some]…indicate a tighter, more structured organisation of composition, a feature which became more pronounced over the years to come.’ 5 Fergusson had long been stimulated by working en plein air, in locations as varied as Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, the Scottish island of Islay and during summer painting trips to France with Peploe from 1904 to 1907. His enjoyment of responding directly and spontaneously to light and weather conditions, as well as to architectural and natural features, is clear in many of the paintings he created outdoors.
In 1913, Fergusson left Paris in search of ‘more sun, more colour’ and settled on the Cap d’Antibes. 6 Due to the outbreak of World War One he moved to London, but returned to the French capital for a decade from 1929. World War Two prompted a move to Glasgow, where Fergusson died in 1961.

Graham Sutherland specialised in etching whilst a student at London University’s Goldsmith’s College School of Art between 1921 and 1926. He was taught by Malcolm Osborne and Stanley Anderson and trained alongside Paul Drury and William Larkins. It was during this formative period that he made the following group of etchings, with May Green created in 1927; all of them reveal his precocious and emerging talent. Indeed, Sutherland established his professional standing as a printmaker and held his first solo exhibition in 1924, at the Twenty-One Gallery in London. The following year he was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engraves. Shortly after graduating, he was appointed to the staff of Chelsea College of Art, where he taught engraving until 1932.
In 1924, Larkins found an impression of The Herdman’s Cottage etching of 1850 by the visionary artist Samuel Palmer (1805-81) in a shop on the Charing Cross Road and showed it to his fellow students. Sutherland recalled the impact it had on him: ‘I remember that I was amazed at its completeness, both emotional and technical. It was unheard of at the school to cover the plate almost completely with work and quite new to us that the complex variety of the multiplicity of lines could form a tone of such luminosity…As we became familiar with Palmer’s later etchings, we ‘bit’ our plates deeper. We had always been warned against ‘overbiting’. But we did ‘overbite’ and we ‘burnished’ our way through innumerable ‘states’ quite unrepentant at the way we punished and maltreated the copper…It seemed to me wonderful that a strong emotion, such as was Palmer’s, could change and transform the appearance of things.’ 1
Palmer’s reputation had diminished since his death in 1881, but was resurrected when an exhibition of his work was mounted at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1926. As illustrated in the current group, Roberto Tassi has explained that Palmer’s influence on Sutherland’s etchings showed ‘in the presence of the sun and its light
The Early Etchings of Graham Sutherland
shining through the trees, the starry sky streaked with horizontal clouds, the contrast between the evening dusk that is already creeping over the land in thickening shadows and the soaring beams of the setting sun.’ 2
Sutherland engaged with and extended the English pastoral tradition and its idealism, with Gordon Cooke proclaiming: ‘Prints such as Village, Pecken Wood, Cray Fields, St Mary Hatch, Lammas and May Green concern the unchanging experience of life in the countryside, the generations which have worked in it and lived from it and the manner in which nature rules such a way of life.’ 3 Yet Sutherland’s etched images of the mid-1920s are also laced with nostalgia - as rural communities changed - and with an embracing of religion which culminated in his acceptance into the Roman Catholic church in 1926.
Tassi continues: ‘Throughout this period, the influence of Palmer continues, most noticeably in the atmosphere, which seems to be suspended, wrapped in mystery and a tinge of mysticism. The sun, the doves, the stars, the birds and the sheep all become religious symbols; the air is one of enchantment; the contrast between light and shade, though violent, is not disturbing, but seems rather to diffuse an air of quietude over the world. In general, however, the feeling is one of abstraction rather than life.’ 4
Sutherland’s success as an etcher came to an abrupt end with the collapse of the art market following the Wall Street crash of 1929. He turned to painting, but returned to print-making at various points during his career, including lithography in the 1940s and 1950s before a resumption of etching in the 1970s.

Gordon Cooke has noted that ‘the Cray is a river, rising at St Mary Cray, near Farningham, where Graham Sutherland moved in 1927’ (op.cit., unpaginated). Roberto Tassi has remarked that in this work ‘the bewitching atmosphere of [Samuel] Palmer…is clearly in the ascendant here, as we can see from the stars, the tall spikes and line of hop-poles’.

Gordon Cooke has linked ‘The Village’ to Samuel Palmer’s etching The Bellman of 1879 (op.cit., unpaginated, see Victoria & Albert Museum collection acc. no.E.1465-1926). In contrast, Roberto Tassi detected the influence of Jean-François Millet and declared that ‘The Village’ revealed ‘a new and absolutely original vision... with tilled fields, weary labourers, their wretched cottages and the evening stillness that weighs on everything.’ (op.cit., p. 19) Ronald Alley has explained that the scene depicted was ‘based mainly on scenery around Cudham in Kent, but with elements from Warning Camp in Sussex.’ (Ronald Alley, ‘Graham Sutherland,’ London 1982, p. 58).

Ronald Alley has written about this work that the rural world it depicts ‘is one of the past, the evocation of a mode of village life which had almost completely passed away. The emphasis is on the autumnal fertility of nature, with man living in communion with nature and...the moment depicted is when the sun is setting, or near setting and the stars are beginning to come out.’ (Ronald Alley, ‘Graham Sutherland’, London 1983, p. 59).

Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales.

“You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. On occasion where Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. own a lot in part or full the property will be identified in the catalogue with the symbol (��) next to its lot number.
A. BEFORE THE SALE
1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS
Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/ images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.
2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.
(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale.
Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.
(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.
(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.
3. WITHDRAWAL
Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.
4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS
(a) Jewellery:
(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.
(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report
if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.
(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.
(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no
warranties are given.

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.
