AN INTRODUCTION

“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”.

This William Morris quote was one of Rosamund Jordan’s favourites and it was reflected by hers and Tom’s collection of paintings and Ar ts and Crafts furniture and potter y. The ethos extending into all areas of their lives, especially their beautiful garden

For over 40 years Tom and Rosamund Jordan were leading specialists in the Staithes Group of painters, believing that this pioneering, and still neglected group, should be written into the histor y of World ar t. The group of painters were drawn to the fishing village of Staithes on the Nor th Yorkshire Coast in the late 19th and early 20th centur y, attracted to the area by the towering cliffs, stormy seas, the clarity of light and eminently paintable cottages and harbours. Tom and Rosamund, who were equally passionate about Staithes, were champions of this group of ar tists, and Tennants

Auctioneers are delighted to present Par t I from their collection Showcasing nearly 120 works here from their collection, the lots presented illustrate the rich ar tistic heritage of coastal Yorkshire and the Nor th East chiefly, with a diverse range of pictures from the 19th centur y through to the near present day

For a shor t spell, Staithes was an impor tant ar tistic centre at the forefront of the British Impressionist movement. The Staithes School ar tists were greatly inspired by the French Impressionists, working en plein air with their flat-tipped brushes to capture fleeting moments of light, air, and water, albeit with an edge of harder, nor thern grit. The ar tists lived amongst the fishermen and women, of ten lodging in their homes. Not only did this provide a much-needed boost to the local economy, but it allowed them to understand the hardships of the fishing community, and thus depict them with realism, insight, and empathy.

The movement began with the likes of Thomas Barrett, a professor at Nottingham School of Ar t (see lot 1017) who first visited in 1880, and William Gilber t Foster (see lot 1009), who bought a cottage in Runswick Bay in 1890. The completion of the Staithes Railway in 1883 greatly improved accessibility and gradually more and more ar tists were drawn to the area, some staying for a summer, and others putting down roots. Perhaps the most widely recognised ar tists today were Harold Knight and Laura Johnson (later Laura Knight), pupils of Barrett at Nottingham School of Ar t. Barrett had told them that “there is no place like it in all the world for painting”.

1901 saw the formalisation of the Staithes School of Ar t with their first exhibition at the Staithes Fishermen’s Institute. They would exhibit annually, later moving to the Anderson Galler y in Whitby, until 1907. At this point, the group had grown to some 40 ar tists, and they were unable to find a venue large enough to accommodate the exhibition. This, combined with the exhibition clashing with the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London, a scarcity of patrons in the area, and many of the ar tists looking for new pastures to paint, meant 1907 would mark the end of the Staithes School. Some, like the Knights, moved south to Cornwall, others moved abroad, however a select few remained in the area for the rest of their lives. The remaining ar tists would amalgamate with the Yorkshire Union of Ar tists.

Tom and Rosamund were passionate about Staithes, lovingly restoring a small fisherman’s cottage there and becoming involved in the community, donating works to the primar y school in the village and to the lifeboat in order to raise money for them. They are a sad loss to Staithes as well as to all who knew them, but they leave a legacy of ‘real’ ar t that they were keen to emphasize, and to share with as many people as they could.

“My thanks must go not only to my husband Tom, with whom I have worked and researched for many years, but also to our children Melissa, Tristan and Rix whom we trailed around galleries and antique shops which they assure me was a large part of their formative years. My mother Nada Routledge, introduced me to fine art at the age of ten and in her later years helped us in our gallery and attended sales on our behalf when we were both teaching and without her I would never have followed the path that I have.”

Signed, inscribed and dated 1943, watercolour, 44cm by 69cm £60-90

Stephen Frank Wasley (1848-1934)

In the words of Rosamund Jordan: Our Discover y of His (Wasley’s) Work I will allow words written nearly a centur y ago by ar tist and critic, Frank Emanuel to introduce the works by Frank Wasley “The writer well remembers the thrill of pleasure with which he first espied what proved to be one of Wasley’s charcoal drawings. It was at a picture auction and the drawing gleamed forth from the midst of a medley of mediocre work…since that date it has been my pleasure to see a large number of Mr Wasley’s drawings. Most of them have been inspired by the wealth of landscape and seascape to be found in the vicinity of the dear old seaport of Whitby, Yorkshire”

When we first star ted handling it in the mid seventies, Wasley was little known and his signature frequently misread. One galler y always catalogued him as Frank Wastley and we even bought his work at a major auction house catalogued as J Foster, and have found him several times called J Masters; but his style is unmistakeable. In fact having finished the first draft of this ar ticle within a seven day period I bought a watercolour catalogued as J Masters and another where the catalogued name was changed from “Wasley” to “Worsley” !

Mark Senior (1862-1927)

“Mark Senior is known today as a prominent member of the Staithes Group, painters who lived and worked in the vicinity of Staithes and neighbouring Runswick Bay on the Yorkshire Coast from the mid 1880’s to the 1920’s. In fact, Senior died at Runswick on the 1st Januar y 1927 and is buried at the cemeter y at Hinder well which is about a mile away. In contrast to the charming countr yside that surrounds Senior ’s grave, he was born near Dewsbur y in West Yorkshire, a shoddy and mungo town where buildings blackened by soot and choking smoke from dark satanic mills provided a grittier backdrop. In 1886 Senior married a mill owners’ daughter from Ossett called Alice Brook (1863-1949) and from then on they divided their between Ossett and Runswick. In those days there was a much larger railway network which enabled Senior to commute to his studio on Park Row in Leeds in the winter and when Spring came, the family migrated by train to the coast, alighting at Hinder well. The last mile by pony and trap.

Senior initially trained as a por trait painter in Batley, studying under Isaac Faulkner Bird (1803-1884), and although Senior is of ten labelled today an Impressionist landscape painter, he was commissioned to paint por traits throughout his life. In fact, his patrons were often wealthy members of his wife’s extended family. The glor y of Senior ’s work however, undeniably lies in his landscape painting and the four paintings in this sale are superb examples of his skill in this area. Although entrenched within the familiarity of his native Yorkshire, Senior had connections with the mainstream ar tistic community and contemporaries such as George Clausen (1852-1944), Philip Wilson Steer (1860-1942) and Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956) influenced his work.

Senior ’s early work was often rather dark and sombre in tone, but these pictures are characterised by an abundance of colour, light and a tremendous sense of movement. The confident brushwork is a memorable feature and the charming study on pastel, “Figures Loading a Haycart” (see lot 1048)demonstrates so well Senior ’s skill in other mediums. Senior did travel, often abroad, but the market town of Ludlow in Shropshire is somewhere he returned to again and again. “Ludlow” (see lot 1071) per fectly illustrates Senior ’s practice of painting ‘en plein air ’ when he allegedly used the lids of discarded cigar boxes for these sketches. He produced a huge quantity of these paintings and in many respects, they are more adept and livelier than the large studio canvases that were destined for mercantile mansions and civic collections.

Senior and his family spent six months of the year at Runswick (a practice the family continued until 1965) so inevitably they became familiar members of the local community, albeit seasonal. Local people often modelled for him and from time-to-time, his children and grandchildren also sat for paintings. “Figure at rest beneath and canopy of a tree” (see lot 1088)is a lovely example where Senior treats the figure as an inseparable par t of the landscape, his famous ‘blue’ filtering through the low-lying branches. There was a studio at the bottom Senior ’s garden at Runswick which sadly, it is no longer there, but the house, Hillside, still belongs to Senior ’s descendants who enjoy the idyllic summer days, just as Senior did, over a hundred years ago.”

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Owen Bowen (1873-1967)

Born in 1873 in Leeds, England, Owen Bowen was educated at Leeds School of Ar t before working as a potter y designer and lithography apprentice. Although Bowen painted on the Continent, he was mostly known for his impressionist still lifes and landscapes of Yorkshire. Bowen settled in Leeds and established his own school of painting there. Prior to his death in 1967, Bowen became president of the Royal Cambrian Academy and regularly exhibited his work there and throughout England. Several nor thern public galleries including Leeds, Liverpool, Rotherham, and Rochdale hold his work.

Olwyn Bowey (b.1936)

Born in 1936 in Stockton-on-Tees, Olwyn Bowey studied at West Har tlepool School of Ar t and the Royal College of Ar t. At the RCA, she received a First-Class Diploma and a David Murray Landscape Scholarship. Bowey is fascinated in the idea of the ar tist plantsman (which also intrigued the likes of John Nash and Cedric Morris), and her work focusses on landscape and still life. Bowey works outside in nature and of ten in her greenhouse at her home in Sussex. Bowey was elected as a Royal Academician in 1975, and is an Honorar y Member of the Royal West of England Academy, and an Associate of the Royal College of Ar t. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Tate, Government Ar t Collection, National Por trait Galler y, London, Royal Academy, London, The National Librar y of Wales, and Tullie House Museum and Ar t Galler y.

Neil Dallas Brown (1938-2003)

Born in 1938 in Elgin, Scotland, Neil Dallas Brown studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Ar t and Design in Dundee. During his studies, he gained numerous scholarships to study abroad, namely in 1981 where he won bursar y to the Scottish Ar ts Council studio in Amsterdam. He would eventually teach at Duncan of Jordanstone from 1968 to 1978 and then at Glasgow School of Ar t. Influenced by “sof t ethereal colour zones on which there was no configuration of any kind”, his paintings are mystical, poetic, and surreal. A retrospective of his paintings toured Stirling University in 1975. Dundee Ar t Galler y holds his paintings, as do the Nottingham City Museum & Galleries, Walker Ar t Galler y, University of Dundee, Per th Ar t Galler y, National Galleries of Scotland, Glasgow School of Ar t, and Abbot Hall Ar t Galler y.

Ernest Dade (1864-1934)

Born in 1868 in Kensington, London, Ernest Dade was an English painter of coastal and maritime subjects and a founding member of the Staithes group of ar tists. It was a childhood move to Scarborough that cemented his fascination in the Nor th Sea coastline. He remained in Scarborough for most of his life. Like his fellow Staithes associate, Ar thur Friedenson, Dade also made the trek to Paris to study at Académie Julian after a period at the Scarborough School of Ar t under the tutelage of Alber t Strange, who also taught Frank Henr y Mason. Alongside painting maritime subjects, Dade was also a maker of model ships. Nostalgia from his first job as a deckhand on the American yacht, Dauntless would leave a lasting interest of the sea and ships in his work and personal life. In 1895, he was the first Captain of the Scarborough Sailing Club.

Dade was also the author of Sail and Oar: A Hundred Pictures by E. Dade: A North Sea Sketchbook (London, 1933), and exhibited with the New English Ar t Club of which he was made a member of in 1887, Walker Ar t Galler y, Royal Society of British Ar tists, and International Society of Sculptors, Painters, and Gravers. From 1887 to 1901, Dade exhibited his paintings at the Royal Academy. Dade’s paintings can be found in the collections of the Imperial War Museum, Scarborough Ar t Galler y, and the National Maritime Museum.

Arthur Friedenson (1872-1955)

Born in 1872 in Leeds, Ar thur Friedenson originally apprenticed as a sign painter, before training at the Académie Julian in Paris, a private ar t school established by Rodolphe Julian in 1868. The Julian was popular amongst foreign students for its liberal take on ar tistic education in comparison to the official École des Beaux-Ar ts, and saw Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Max Slevogt as examples of its illustrious alumni. Friedenson would later study at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Ar ts in Antwerp. Upon his return to England, Friedenson joined the Staithes group where he made the coastlines of Staithes and Runswick his muse. His painting, Runswick Bay (1907) was critically successful when exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1907 and was ultimately purchased for the nation, now residing in the Tate. Fur ther paintings are held in collections including the National Trust, Leeds Ar t Galler y, Laing Ar t Galler y and Ferens Ar t Galler y.

Ralph Hedley (1851-1913)

Born in 1851 in Richmond, Yorkshire, Ralph Hedley studied Ar t and Design at the Government School in Newcastle and attended evening classes at the Life School under William Bell Scott. He became a realist painter, woodcar ver, and illustrator, well known for his paintings por traying ever yday life in the Nor th-East of England.

Hedley was a member of the Royal Society of British Ar tists, the Vice President of the South Shields Ar t Club, and designed the chancel of The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas. His paintings were exhibited throughout the Nor th-East including The Laing Ar t Galler y, Shipley Ar t Galler y, and Har tlepool Ar t Galler y. He also had more than 40 paintings exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1879 and 1904.

Rowland Henr y Hill (1873-1952)

Born in 1873 in Halifax, Yorkshire, Rowland Henr y Hill studied at Halifax and Bradford Schools of Ar t and at the Herkomer School at Bushey. He travelled widely in Europe and lived at Hinder well, near Staithes where as a member of the Staithes Group he painted many local scenes. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy from 1897, at the Paris Salon, Venetian International and in many provincial exhibitions. Examples of his work are in the Imperial War Museum, and several other public galleries including Leeds, Wakefield, Whitby, and Harrogate.

Robert Leslie Howey (1900-1981)

Born in 1900 in Har tlepool, Rober t Leslie Howey studied ar t and practiced as a professional ar tist in this area. His father, John William Howey was a Staithes group ar tist, but he did not have the confidence to paint full time. He did however keep in contact with other members of the Staithes Group and took his son Rober t on painting trips with Rowland Henr y Hill and Mark Senior. This undoubtedly inspired him to become an ar tist and he became well known for his landscape, coastal and por trait paintings in oil, watercolour, and pastel. He exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Redfern Galler y, London as well as many provincial galleries. He was a regular exhibitor at the Laing Galler y and a one-man exhibition of his works was held at the Gray Ar t Galler y in Har tlepool in 1949.

Geoffrey Jenkinson (1925-2005)

Born in 1925 in Leeds, Geoffrey Jenkinson was a pupil of Fred Cecil Jones at Pudsey Grammar School and attended the Pudsey Technical College. Jenkinson regularly exhibited throughout the UK during the 1940’s, such as at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Ar tists, and the Royal Cambrian Academy (RCA), of which he became a full academician of in 1949. His main ambition was to become a professional ar tist in the USA, where he felt the subject matter would be unlimited, and in May 1950 he made his journey across the Atlantic on the Queen Mar y.

Over the next few years, he travelled extensively throughout the USA, and af ter a stint in the army where he was drafted to Japan and Korea, he settled in Arizona. From then on, he spent his summers in New Mexico where he became well known for his paintings of Taos Pueblo and winters were spent at home in Arizona. He became associated with the Arizona Ar tists Guild. He exhibited widely throughout the USA over the next thir ty years developing a more impressionistic style until he sold his studio in 2000 and moved to Los Angeles. Homesick for England he returned home to his sister in Pudsey where he then died in a hospice in 2005.

Leslie Marr (1922-2021)

Born in Durham, Marr trained as an engineer and during World War II ser ved in the Royal Air Force. In 1947 he enrolled at a private ar t school and it was here that he was introduced to the ar tist David Bomberg. Marr went on to marr y Bomberg’s stepdaughter in 1948. He later joined Bomberg’s classes at Borough Polytechnic and too par t in various Bomberg shows, as well as staging several solo exhibitions throughout the UK.

Richard Marshall (1944-2006)

Born in South Shields in 1944, Richard Marshall was a British Post-war & Contemporar y painter. After graduating from West Har tlepool College of Ar t he was accepted to study at The Slade, London. Marshall was fascinated by the coast near Whitby, Scarborough, and Robin Hood’s Bay and his paintings reflect this. His pictures render the coastlines in idyllic warm hazy sunlight spurring nostalgia for those familiar with this stretch of England.

Frank Henr y Mason (1875-1965)

Born in 1875 in Seaton Carew, County Durham Frank Henr y Mason was a founding member of the Staithes Ar t Club. He became a marine painter, etcher, illustrator, and poster designer. Mason was educated on HMS Conway at Birkenhead, spent his youth at sea and trained as a marine engineer, before eventually settling in Scarborough in 1894. At Scarborough, Mason studied under Alber t Strange and made regular trips to Staithes. During the First World War, Mason, like a generation of young men, ser ved in the militar y becoming Lt. Mason of the RNVR. He was appointed as a shipping war ar tist. Mason once said, “the sea and ships are in my bones”. His bold plein-air technique painting made him a successful marine painter and caught the interest of the London and Nor th-Eastern Railway. From 1910 to 1961, Mason produced over 200 iconic posters and 17 carriage print designs for railway companies. Mason’s ar tworks are held in several collections including the Imperial War Museum, National Museum of the Royal Navy, Por tsmouth, National Railway Museum, Britannia Royal Naval College, Pannett Ar t Galler y, Laing Ar t Galler y, and the National Trust.

Frederick (Fred) Mayor (1865-1916)

Born in 1865 in Winksley near Ripon, Nor th Yorkshire William Frederick Mayor was born in Winksley near Ripon. Initially studying at the Royal College of Ar t under Sir Frank Brangwyn, like many of his Staithes counterpar ts he made the crossing to France in 1886 to study at the Académie Julian, Paris. In Paris, he met the likes of Wilson Steer and Walter Sicker t, both of whom became influences for Mayor. Mayor returned to Staithes in 1899 and became a founding member of the Staithes Group. Following a marriage to follow Staithes painter, Hannah Hoyland, he moved to Montreuil-sur-Mer, France, and then to Whitechurch in Buckinghamshire and London. His distinctive style and hazy muted colour tones can be seen in his paintings held at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Ar t, Government Ar t Collection, Imperial War Museum, and Manchester Ar t Galler y.

Tom McGuinness (1926-2006)

Born in 1926 in Witton Park, County Durham, Tom McGuinness showed a predilection towards sketching from an early age. In 1944, McGuinness was signed up to the coal industr y, as par t of the conscriptions enforced by the Bevin government, to counteract falling labour within the industr y during World War II. Like his contemporar y Norman Cornish, McGuinness was greatly encouraged in his ar tistic endeavours by Bill Farrell and the Spennymoor Settlement when he joined in the 1940’s. This direction led to the evocative renditions of the mining community which we appreciate today, albeit in two highly distinctive styles.

Len Tabner (b.1946)

Born in 1946 at South Bank, near Middlesborough, Yorkshire Len Tabner studied at Middlesbrough School of Ar t, Bath Academy of Ar t from 1965 under Howard Hodgkin, and Reading University under Claude Rogers and Terr y Frost before returning Nor th. From 1970 he settled in a cottage on the highest cliff in England at Boulby, Teeside where he purchased 250 acres of land and coastline to preser ve it. In this ever-changing landscape

Tabner is to be found on the beach with his easel weighted down against the wind or, like Turner, on board a ship in the middle of a gale.

His elemental paintings are produced with a sense of great urgency, with a rich variety of materials combining and competing on the sur face of the paper. His painting has taken him to remote places including Nor th Sea oil platforms and on trips with the Royal Navy to the Falklands, South Georgia and the South Atlantic. He has exhibited his work at shows around the countr y for more than 30 years including the British Museum, Science Museum, Contemporar y Ar t Society, Laing Ar t Galler y, Darlington Ar t Galler y, Gifu Memorial Museum, Japan and in many other public and private collections in Britain, America, Europe and Asia.

George Weatherill (1810-1890)

Born in 1810 in Staithes, George Weatherill became one of Yorkshire’s finest watercolourists. Spending his life in the Whitby area, he originally pursued a clerical career apprenticing at a solicitors in Guisborough. In this time, he became acquainted with local painter, George Haydock Dodgson. A career move took him to the bank of Messrs Simpson and Chapman in Whitby where came promotion to chief cashier and enough income to afford visits to London. In London, Weatherill studied the works of J.M.W Turner. Turner ’s influence in his watercolours is evident and Weatherill soon became known as ‘The Turner of the Nor th’. Whitby Museum houses a collection of his work, as does the Pannett Ar t Galler y in Whitby.
