A highly comparable oil painting to the present work titled “The North Sea”, was sold at Tennants

Auctioneers, “Modern and Contemporary Art”, 15 October 2022, lot 122 (see image below)

Lowry was fascinated by the sea. At once both beautiful and dangerously powerful, it was a constant source of inspiration to the solitary artist and he painted it throughout his life. Whilst the majority of his seaside pictures depict bustling seafronts and boats on the North West coast, from the early 1940s he began to depict pure seascapes. These rare, seemingly simple yet highly sophisticated works are far removed from the bustling industrial streets scenes for which he is better known.

After the death of his overbearing mother in 1939, Lowry frequently stayed for long periods of time at the Seaburn Hotel in Sunderland, to which he became deeply attached. Here he always stayed in the same room, which looked straight out at the empty expanse of the North Sea, sketching, and watching the water and sky melding at the horizon.

Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA, RA (1887-1976)

“Crowther Street, Stockport”

Signed and dated 1929

Whilst “The Stepped Street” represents a work in its own right, “Crowther Street, Stockport”, as shown, clearly relates directly.

“The Stepped Street”, 1929 is a superb example of Lowry’s mastery of drawing and comes from a golden period of productivity, creativity and artistic energy which formed the foundation of his successes to come. Shortly after leaving Art School in 1928, Lowry’s father suggested he sketch the nearby soon to be demolished St Simon’s Church in Salford and indeed a few days later the building was razed to the ground. This began Lowry’s search to record other locally threatened architectural gems such as Crowther Street, which was later partially demolished leaving only the right hand portion seen in the drawing which has since been restored. “The Stepped Street” is not a preparatory sketch for an oil painting, here Lowry gives us a detailed, complete, stand-alone and fully formed work in its own right in which he enjoys including many of his signature motifs, dogs, children, prams, smoking chimneys, porches and people in all their shapes and sizes make an appearance if you look hard enough. In addition Lowry is also indulging his love of Steps as subject matter for his work as he says himself ‘Steps and things ... I liked doing steps, steps in Ancoats ... steps in Stockport ... steps anywhere you like, simply because I like steps and the area which they were in was an industrial area. I did a lot, you see. I've never found it interesting to paint pure landscapes. I'm not interested in pure landscapes’.

Paul Maze (1887-1979), often referred to as ‘The Last of the Post-Impressionists’, had the extraordinary ability to capture the essence of a place with deceptive simplicity. He painted with immediacy, and his skills were once described by his lifelong friend Winston Churchill as “with the fewest of strokes, he can create an impression at once true and beautiful”

Maze spent much of his life living in England, however, after the First World War he lived in Paris and became an integral member of the art scene. He counted amongst his friends Derain, Bonnard and Vuillard, and the latter had encouraged Maze to concentrate on working with pastels, which best suited his style. Maze turned his hand to a variety of subject matter, from marines to cityscapes, and the gentle landscapes of the English and French countryside. However, he had a particular love of painting the pomp and circumstance of British army parades and the social whirl of the English season, and he could be frequently found at Cowes, Henley and Goodwood. Having married his second wife, Jessie, Maze moved to the South Downs in 1950, where he would remain for the rest of his life. He fell in love with the softly rolling hills, which he frequently depicted. He died at the age of 92, at home looking over the Downs, with a pastel in his hand.

Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd AC, OBE (1920-1999) Australian

“Shoalhaven River and Black Bird”

Signed, oil on board, 30cm by 21.5cm

Christie’s: “Australian, International and Contemporary Paintings”, Melbourne, 3rd - 4th May 2004, lot 1048

Provenance: Art Galleries Schubert, Queensland

Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd AC, OBE (1920-1999) was a leading Australian painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, and ceramicist. Boyd comes from a distinguished artistic dynasty in Australia. Beginning in 1886 with the marriage of artists Arthur Merric Boyd (1862–1940) and Emma Minnie Boyd. The Boyd family have contributed vastly to the landscape of Australian art, pioneering a lasting and illustrious legacy of experimental ceramics, painting, and sculpture.

Following Boyd’s training at the National Gallery School in Melbourne, Australia, and his service as a car tographer in the Australian Army during the Second World War, Boyd established himself as a prominent painter in Britain. Boyd returned to New South Wales, Australia in 1971, settling with his family on the banks of the Shoalhaven River at his home Bundanon which was gifted to Australia and now serves as a prominent art gallery and museum. The Shoalhaven River fascinated Boyd from thereon, becoming one of his most emotive, enduring, and allegorical subjects throughout his career.

“At daybreak the water’s edge would draw the line Arthur Boyd drew between two worlds”

Darleen Bungey in “Arthur Boyd: A Life”

In “Shoalhaven River and Black Bird”, Boyd paints with a loose hand suggesting an intimate familiarity with the Shoalhaven River and its landscape. The sandstone escarpments are painted in a glistening monochrome ivory hue and finished with a dash of ochre. The river is still. Boyd’s scene is a pure and unspoiled landscape, devoid of urban life, be this roads, buildings, vehicles, or boats. It is unashamedly a celebration of the Shoalhaven River and its hold on Boyd’s life and career.

Stuart has enjoyed tremendous success up until his retirement in 2019. Born in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, he started painting industrial landscapes in the late 1960’s (see lot 29) and became a full-time professional artist in the 1970’s.

Yorkshire Television appointed him as their first fine arts fellow in 1972, and he was exhibited in many one-man, group and open exhibitions throughout the country including London galleries. He has made many local radio broadcasts, gave the British M.E.N.S.A lecture in London in October 1975, and was the subject of a television film screened in 1973. After completing his national service in the R.A.F in 1954, he became very interested in abstract painting and painters. He soon ventured into abstract expressionism influenced by Franz Kline, Jackon Pollock and other American artists of that period.

Within a couple of years, he had settled into hard-edge painting and construction which he continued throughout the 1960’s. A whole stream of works was produced and exhibited in the north and in London galleries, this being possibly the most rewarding period to date.

In 1970 Stuart gave up his job as Assistant Display Manager to paint full time. He started producing figurative pieces mainly of street scenes of the northern industrial cities. Of course, the subject matter was not new to him, having grown up in that environment, which explains his great affection for it, he continued this until 1990’s.

From 1990, he has returned to his first love, abstract painting. The works on show are a result of his interest on the mass media, such as television, glossy magazines, billboards and any printed ephemera. The works are composite selected particles from which we are constantly bombarded. He continued his abstract painting until he returned to his street scenes in 2013 (see lots 30-32) before retiring in 2019, where he completed his last street scene.

Paul-Émile Borduas (1905-1960) Canadian

Signed and dated (19)54, watercolour, 27cm by 35cm

Provenance: Dominion Gallery, Montreal

Bonhams and Langlois, St Helier, Jersey, 29 November 2000, lot 1118

Literature: Borduas Online Catalogue Raisonné, no. 2005-0166

Paul-Émile Borduas was one of the most important figures in modern Canadian art. A leader of the group known as the Automatists, he developed a spontaneous style of non-figurative painting. A technique first used by Surrealist painters and poets to express the unconscious in art.

Borduas spent the first period of his career working primarily as a church decorator and teacher in Montreal. In 1948 he published the “Refus Global”, an influential manifesto calling for freedom of expression. His views on Catholicism and nationalism caused uproar in the media which lead to his dismissal from his teaching post at the École du Meuble.

In 1953, Borduas moved to New York which greatly influenced his artistic development. It was here he viewed works by the New York school of Abstract Expressionists, including Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Mark Rothko. Borduas began exclusively using a palette knife to paint and became preoccupied with light and space. In 1955, he moved to Paris, where he achieved some measure of international recognition. He continued to paint, write and travel, despite failing health. His name lends itself to the Prix Paul- Émile Borduas awarded each year to a distinguished Quebec visual artist.

Sold together with a copy of “Sally Arnup Animal Bronzes”, The Blake Gallery, York and further literature relating to the artist.

Celebrated sculptor Sally Arnup is most renowned for her lifelike animal bronzes. Although being a zoophilist, her particular passion for dogs and all canine breeds was clearly evident. Her insistence on working directly from her subject and her ability to control her medium allowed Sally to explore and depict the animal’s coat and features conveying the humour in the relationship between man and beast, as seen here in “Bulldog”

Droit de Suite/ Artists’ Resale Rights

All items in this catalogue that are marked with “✓” are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge (set out below) will apply if the Hammer Price is more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000. The royalty charge will be added to purchase invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to either the Design and Artists Copyright Society (“DACS”) or the Artists’ Collecting Society (“ACS”) by the auctioneers, and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these changes will be retained by the auctioneer.

From 14 February 2006 United Kingdom art market professionals (which includes auctioneers) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists, and those who have died within the last 70 years. This payment is calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a Hammer Price more that the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 (the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates). It is the responsibility of the Buyer to acquaint themselves with the actual Euro to UK sterling exchange rate on the Day of Sale. The actual qualifying threshold will be calculated by the “Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub” based on the “European Central Bank” reference rate published at 2.15pm on the Day of Sale and can be found on www.dacs.org.uk

The royalty charge for qualifying items which achieve a Hammer Price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 is as follows:

Up to €50,000 – 4%

€50,000.01 to €200,000 – 3%

€200,000.01 to €350,000 – 1%

€350,000.01 to €500,000 – 0.5%

Exceeding €500,000 – 0.25%

For further information please visit www.dacs.org.uk or www.artistscollectingsociety.org. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

Method of Payment

Payment is accepted online via our website. Card payments where the card holder is not present will only be accepted for transactions up to £500.

Payment can be made and purchases collected during the auction. All accounts must be settled within 14 days of the sale. Accounts not paid within 14 days will automatically be subject to an interest charge of 5% above base rate from the day of sale.

Collection

All purchases must be collected from our Leyburn offices, unless stated otherwise, within seven days of the Sale (Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm).
