4 Edwa rd Alexa nder Wa dswo rt h R A ( Brit ish 1889- 1949) Camouflaged ship in drydock for Painting woodcut on thin laid paper inscribed ‘for sigmund. Edward’ (upper right) plate: 21 x 19.4cm; sheet: 24.8 x 19.7cm, unframed $2,000 - 4,000 PROVENANCE by descent from the vendor’s aunt whom was an artist, South Coast of England Private collection, Auckland The present print would seem to be a one-off impression printed separately from the 1918 edition on Japanese tissue.

The impression would have been made between 1918-1927 when Wadsworth destroyed all of his blocks. As a result no posthumous reprints exist.

The inscription ‘for sigmund’ may well refer to Sigmund Gestetner.

Gestetner’s father invented a type of duplicating machine.

An original copy of this letter is available on purchase.

275 Konini Road, Titirangi, Auckland, 15th October, 1978 Dear ....

I was delighted to get your letter expressing your pleasure with my painting ‘Cave’. It has long been one of my favourites and its good to hear it has gone to a loving home.

Although I don’t consider it at all important that the owner know of the artist’s intention in a painting, (your own ‘reading’ of the imagery is what stirs your imagination and that is what counts); you might like to know that I based the painting of ‘Cave’ on a remembered experience of being inside a shallow cliffside cave out on the west coast here in Auckland and seeing the end of the day with the sun setting and marvellous cloud formations, looking out from the mouth of the cave.

Of course the painting is not a direct translation of this fact, but an amalgam of the total experience of colour, sky, land, stone, grass etc, the time of day, the feeling of the situation - given shape and substance through the medium of paint.

It all sounds a bit complex but I really found the process of painting Cave rather very direct and straight-forward.

Best wishes to you both, Gretchen Albrecht

30 Jame s Pat r i ck [ Pat ] H an ly (1 9 3 2 -2 0 0 4 ) Pacific Fire oil and enamel on board signed and dated ‘Hanly ‘86’ (lower right) and inscribed with title (upper right); original artist’s label and Vavasour Godkin Gallery label affixed to reverse 120 x 120cm $80,000 - 100,000 PROVENANCE Private collection, Wairarapa

The mid 1980s was a period of significant political, social and economic change in New Zealand. The declaration of the country as nuclear free in 1987 became a matter of national pride and collective agreement after a decade of social division. The notion of the South Pacific standing firm against its formidable allies, the Western nuclear powers took hold of the public’s imagination and escalated following the bombing of the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior and the death of Fernando Pereira on July 10 1985.

It was against this political backdrop that Pat Hanly revisited his first major series, the Fire works produced in London in 1959 and 1960.

The Fire This Time series executed between 1984 and 1986, has a direct and powerful message; one of National unity and freedom.

From 1985 onwards the imagery and technique is freed from earlier constraints. Form is much more expressive and fluid. The treatment of colour is bold and asserts his reputation as one of New Zealand’s foremost colourists.

A Pacifist, Pat Hanly’s expressions of dissent were not delivered solely via the medium of paint. He was active in the Peace Movement for many years, including as a founding member of VAANA (Visual Artists Against Nuclear Arms). He was well known for protesting from sailboats on Auckland Harbour. The stylised white form of a ship at the centre of Pacific Fire references this.

31 Evely n Pag e ( 1 8 9 9 -1 9 9 3 ) Portrait of Dr Diana Mason [1953] oil on canvas on board signed ‘EVELYN PAGE’ (lower right); inscribed ‘Dr Diana Mason’ to reverse 54 x 43cm $30,000 - 40,000 PROVENANCE Estate of Diana & Bruce Mason, Wellington EXHIBITED Wellington, The National Art Gallery & New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, Evelyn Page Retrospective Exhibition, 1970, no 43 Throughout her career, Evelyn Page has drawn and painted portraits, often of friends and acquantances, many of them well-known personalities and artists. Often vastly different in style and appearance, what unifies them is her sensitive response to the unique personalities of her subjects. This is true of this striking and powerful portrait of well-known Wellington personality and friend of the artist, Dr Diana Mason.

Dr Diana Mason (1922-2007) was one of her generation’s eminent obstetricians and a well-known Wellington identity. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1977 for her services to obstetrics and particularly to single young mothers. The New Zealand Medical Journal (volume 120, number 1257) commented, “Dr Mason was a doctor when women interested in medicine were usually nurses.” The Journal further commented that she was “a flamboyant part of Wellington’s cultural life, guaranteed to stand out in a crowd at orchestra or theatre events, tall, proud and magnificently got up.”

Dr Mason was married to Bruce Mason (1921-1982) who was a New Zealand playwright, actor, critic, and fiction writer. The pair met whilst studying at Victoria University College in 1939 and were close friends of Evelyn and her husband Frederick.

She spent quite a lot of time with Maude Burge who had a house there, and they were joined by Gwen Knight and Flora Scales for a time. The works produced during this period are all summer paintings, capturing the intense heat of the south, and as such Barn in Provence was most certainly produced during this period.

Still Life in a Landscape was completed at a similar time, sharing a particular palette, with a focus on pinks and reds. There are also remarkable similarities to Red Earth c1931, auctioned at Christies, Modern Australian Pictures, London, 28/11/1991 (lot 35) in terms of subject matter, composition and palette.

However more recent research questions this attribution. The central female’s hair style and uncovered head, as well as style of dress would strongly locate the work in Europe rather than Africa.
