rOdErIC BArrETT | 5

04 Table with Bowls, £9,500

oil on canvas, 1962, initialled, 46 x 56 cm

In the words of his biographer david Buckman, ‘Barrett was one of the most distinctive artists working in Britain in the twentieth century… he is the

opposite of the commercial painter of pretty pictures that fill a gap in the sitting room wall and convey their message in a glance’

6 | EdwArd MIddLEdITCh

05 The river, £14,500

oil on canvas, 103 x 123 cm

To many, Edward Middleditch is inexorably linked with the ‘Kitchen Sink’ painters but his work went on to develop in a very different direction.

A large, impressive oil and typical of Middleditch's later works inspired by the play of light and nature.

JACOB EPSTEIN | 7

06 rhododendrons, £5750

gouache & watercolour, 1936, signed, 56 x 43.5 cm

Lovely signed example of an Epstein flower painting.

07 Girl in a Landscape, £2750 oil on board, signed, 30 x 51 cm

long and varied and her work is held in several public collections. her obituary in the Independent described her as a ‘painter whose dreamlike pastoral idylls eschewed fashionability’.

EdwArd ArdIzzONE | 9

An artist and illustrator of consummate draughtsmanship, Edward Ardizzone’s many book illustrations are recognised all over the world. resurgent interest in the world of illustration in the last 20 years has seen an increase in the popularity

08 Nude, ÂŁ6000

oil on canvas, 45 x 54 cm

of the work of Ardizzone and his contemporaries, and he is just now beginning to receive the critical attention he has always deserved.

This piece is a rarity, only seven of Ardizzone's oils have been in auction since 1991.

10 | JOhN NASh

09 Untitled, Farm Building, ÂŁ2250 pencil & wash, 23 x 34 cm

Two Nash sketches.

Beautifully understated with a classical reďŹ nement and orderliness, John Nash's art stayed close to nature yet stood back from it. (Andrew Lambirth) Estate stamp verso.

JOhN NASh | 11

10 rocky Landscape, ÂŁ2250

pencil & wash, signed, 29.5 x 37 cm

John Nash has long remained in the shadow of his brother Paul whose paintings are now selling for very substantial amounts of money. Talks are in progress regarding a major monograph on John Nash which we feel will go some way towards redressing the balance.

12 | PETEr KINLEy

A painter of near-abstract landscape and figure subjects, Kinley studied at düsseldorf Academy 1948-9 and at St Martin's School of Art 1949-53. he was represented in Six young Contemporaries, Gimpel Fils, 1951 and 1953. Influenced by the de Staël exhibition in London 1953 and 'New American Painting' Tate 1959 Kinley began to restrict his range of colours and pare down his subject matter.

These pieces are typical of his work from the early 1960s; his most sought after period, where the single figure subject is refined to its simplest form.

Kinley's work is held in many public collections including a number in the Tate Gallery's permanent collection.

11 Standing Figure, £9500

oil & pencil on card, 1962, initialled, 40.5 x 35.5 cm

PETEr KINLEy | 13

we have had only three other Kinleys in the past 25 years all of which were considerably smaller than these offered here (more usual for Kinley). These two paintings have been in private hands and are unusual because of their size.

There is an even larger example currently on offer in a London gallery with an asking price of over £80,000.

12 Model Near Easel, £9500

oil & pencil on card, 1962, initialled, 40.5 x 35.5 cm

14 | dErrICK GrEAVES

derrick Greaves (b1927) ďŹ rst came to the attention of the art world when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in the 1950s alongside other 'Kitchen Sink' painters. disillusioned with the social realism of the late 1950s Greaves had a departure from his somewhat austere representational style. he cleared his paintings of unnecessary clutter and embarked on creating images using bold line-drawn motifs set against subdued backgrounds of which this still life is a beautiful example. The informality of the collage in the background provides a contrast and tension with the precision of the drawn line. Following his exhibition at Fischer Fine Art in 1980 the term 'collage painting' was coined to describe these monumental 'drawings' on canvas.

13 rose, Black and white, ÂŁ18,000

acrylic & collage on canvas, 1982, signed verso, 136 x 110 cm

LEONArd rOSOMAN
