Charles Oppenheimer is regarded as a quintessentially Scottish artist, although he was born in Oldham and did not settle north of the border until 1908.

had a talent for capturing the fall of light on water. He painted landscapes and townscapes and also designed a number of iconic posters for British Rail.

Oppenheimer trained under Walter Crane at Manchester School of Art and also in Italy.

He was instinctively drawn to Scotland, although to the lowlands and the pastoral landscapes of Kirkcudbrightshire, rather than the rugged Highlands.

Famously his paintings often depict the same view at different times of year. He was a keen fisherman and

Oppenheimer was elected R.S.W. in 1912, A.R.S.A. in 1927 and R.S.A. in 1934.

The picture offered here is a view of Oppenheimer’s house at 14 High Street, Kirkcudbright, where he lived between 1908 and 1931. He rented the house from E.A. Hornel, who lived next door, in Broughton House (now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland).

By the time that Oppenheimer settled there, Kirkcudbright had long been a centre of artistic activity.

Artists had been drawn there since the 1880s and by 1900, the little town was attracting artists from Glasgow and Edinburgh including E.A. Walton, A.S. Hartrick, James Lawton Wingate, David Gauld and D.Y. Cameron.

Oppenheimer moved there in 1908, and, having served with the Royal Artillery during the Great War, returned to Kirkcudbright at its close, finding many new friends.

Among them were the book illustrator Jessie M King and her husband, E.A. Taylor who, having lived in Kirkcudbright before the war, had returned there in 1915. From 1929 the crime writer Dorothy L Sayers and her husband also rented a studio in The High Street, next door to Oppenheimer, and became good friends.

Oppenheimer painted several similar views of his home at number 14. One now hangs in Oldham Art Gallery and another in Broughton House itself. While the Broughton picture shows the house at twilight, with the evening sun reflecting off the windows, that in Oldham shows the same scene on a bright, sunny day in which the whitewashed walls seem to belong more to the Midi, than Kirkcudbright.

9 HD919/1 ALEXANDER NASMYTH (SCOTTISH 1758-1840) THE CHILDREN OF WILLIAM RAMSAY OF BARNTON Inscribed, and with the children’s names and dated 1782, oil on canvas 91cm x 122cm (36in x 48in) Provenance: Sir Arthur Steel Maitland Bt. and thence by descent. Sold on the instructions of the Trustees.

Exhibited: Scottish Art, London 1931; Old Master paintings, Stirling 1960 Literature: J.C.B. Cooksey, Alexander Nasmyth H.R.S.A., 1785 -1840. A Man of the Scottish Renaissance (Scotland, 1991), catalogue number N43A, illustrated.

£40,000-60,000

Alexander Nasmyth is well known as one of Scotland’s finest landscape artists. He is perhaps less renowned though as a portrait painter and the arrival at auction of a major example of his work in this genre is a cause for some excitement.

The Children of William Ramsay of Barnton is a vitally important example of the 18th century cult of child portraiture and one of the key works in Nasmyth’s oeuvre.

Redolent with detail and symbolism, it has not been seen on the market since it was commissioned in 1782 by the Edinburgh banker William Ramsay, (whose portrait by Raeburn was sold by Lyon & Turnbull in May 2008).

Pictured against the backdrop of Warriston House, each of William Ramsay’s six children is identified by the initials painted beneath their likenesses: From left to right these are: MB, WW, PR, AN (Alison), GR (George) and WR (William).

An inscription on the reverse of the painting further identifies the sitters as, from left to right: Agnes, wife of Col Matthew Baillie of Cairnbrae Mary, wife of Captain Charles Hope Watson RN Peter Ramsay Alison, wife of Sir John Marjoribanks Bt of Lees George Ramsay William Ramsay George Ramsay, the eldest boy, shown in the picture wearing a red coat and a

straw hat, holds a fishing rod while he brings his younger sister his catch, laying it in her apron. Close by, his brother holds George’s fishing bag, completing the central focus of the painting which connects the gaze of the two brothers in a line through the eyes of their sister, thus creating a psychological relationship between the siblings.

An unwitting fourth participant in this dynamic is the family dog, who gazes up adoringly at his young master, while held by the youngest brother. Interestingly the inclusion on the left of the remarkably tame swans appears to have been a conceit of Nasmyth’s and he uses it again in the group portrait of Mr and Mrs Archibald Swinton and Their Children, which dates from 1787. This painting and the Barnton portrait share other, similar qualities, including the reversed pose of the child leaning on the dog (in the Swinton painting a horse) and the inclusion of a rose bush.

Notably absent in the Barnton painting of course, are the parents.

It is further possible, comparing this work with the Swinton painting, to detect the beginnings of the change in Nasmyth’s work which takes hold after 1787, chiefly in the treatment of the landscape, which in the later painting hints at the influence of the artist’s trip to Italy, where he studied from December 1782 to 1785. The Barnton painting is thus also

important in being one of the last works in this genre painted by Nasmyth, before the stylistic changes brought about by his Italian sojourn, by which his sitters become more integrated into their surroundings.

Nasmyth had begun his career as a portraitist with a palette of blue, pink, lilac and purple and an attention to fabric and texture, which emulated that of his early master Allan Ramsay, with whom he worked in London from 1774 to 1778. His earliest portraits were principally of single sitters, but from 1780 Nasmyth began to paint groups in the manner of Zoffany, notably The Duke of Atholl and his Family of that year and Patrick Miller and His Children, dated to 1782, the same year as the Barnton painting. Nasmyth prefers to place his groups in a pastoral setting, often with their residence in the background, as seen here and also in his portraits of the The 3rd Earl Rosebery and his Family in the Grounds of Barnbogle Castle (1784, Dalmeny House) and Lady Honyman and her Family (c.1790, National Galleries of Scotland). Revealingly, Nasmyth is at pains to create a sense of realism in these works, placing them in the context of an actual event, generally the return from a shoot, a pony ride or, as so charmingly depicted here, from a successful fishing expedition.

£80,000-120,000

By the beginning of the twentieth century Joseph Farquharson had established himself as the foremost landscape painter in Scotland, making the subject of snowcovered Deeside his true domain. Throughout his life he balanced his artistic career with the inherited responsibility of laird of the family estate, Finzean in Aberdeenshire, where the Farquharson family has lived since 1579. He studied at the Edinburgh Trustees’ Academy, where he was greatly influenced by Peter Graham, and from 1880 onwards spent time in the studio of CarolusDuran in Paris where he met and became friends with American painter John Singer Sargeant. Paris at the end of the nineteenth century was a hotbed of artistic development and Farquharson was able to assimilate many of the concerns of the Impressionists and the Naturalists exhibiting there at the time. Most importantly, he understood the importance of working en plein air in front of the motif and depicting nature at different times of day and in different atmospheric conditions.

An early example of the scale and power of his canvasses is A Joyless Winter Day (1883), now in the Tate Gallery,

London. It depicts an icy snowstorm, which remarkably the artist painted in situ, from a specially constructed mobile painting hut, which even contained a stove.

Farquharson frequently included a human figure in his compositions, introducing a sense of scale and presence in the frequently unwelcoming landscape. A factotum at the estate frequently used to help the artist by posing as a shepherd and one of the surviving anecdotes tells us how his model was getting rather blue during one sitting session in the winter, and the artist invited him to go into the mobile studio and warm up. The factotum however asked the artist whether he had finished or not and when they established he had not, he said that he would wait a little longer until Farquharson had completed his study.

Such a figure is seen in the present canvas, tending his sheep. Farquharson sent one painting to the Royal Academy every year between 1894 and 1925, with the exception of 1914. He managed to create innovative and imaginative compositions every time, by finding an unexplored corner of his estate, going out to paint at different times of the day, and in different weather conditions, and even adopting a slightly elevated point of

view as he has done here. The light filtering through the tree branches is at once dramatic and balanced against the coolness of the snow in the foreground. The violence and pathos of the sunset adds poetry to an otherwise mundane scene of a shepherd tending his sheep. Every rock, tree and shrub is lovingly described and mapped out, as only someone who really knows and understand the landscape and the local geography can paint it.

Farquharson’s landscapes not only serve to depict the Deeside countryside beautifully, they also serve as points of reflection and contemplation. The dramatic yet subtle juxtaposition of a winter landscape with a beautiful light bathing the scene offers the viewer space for reflection on the life of those living on the land, or more abstractly, on the lyrical beauty of nature.

£10,000-15,000

Harry Keay trained at Dundee College of Art. During World War 2 he was exempted from military service due to a bad right arm (thus a left-handed painter), but remained involved through a role in the observer corps. Following the War and for much of the rest of his life, he devoted his life to the teaching and practicing of art.

As with many Scottish artists, Keay had strong connections to, and derived a huge amount of inspiration from, his peers – specifically, he was taught by James Cowie and had a close friend and mentor in James McIntosh Patrick, an influence that shines clear in the offered work. Often focused on stilllife subjects, such as those in Dundee’s public collection, a strong Dutch influence runs through Keay’s work.

In Mill Under Snow Keay creates a snow scene that captures the crisp sparseness of a Scottish winter. This distinctive atmosphere is

captured through Keay’s technical talent and close attention to detail. He offers a specific view out across the unfolding landscape, from a position of height, but drawing the viewer’s attention down to the human scene below – the abandoned mill building and the figures heading out sledging. The close details of both industry and nature: crisp bare branches, curling barbed wire, distinct building textures of red brick and stone, broken wooden shutters, a winding stream, are juxtaposed. These contrasting details make ‘Mill Under Snow’ a compelling scene, continually drawing the viewer back to discover more of the contrasts of this modern Scottish landscape.

28 Lyon & Turnbull WILLIAM MCCANCE Hugh MacDiarmid, the famous poet and driving force behind the ‘Scottish Renaissance’ movement of the early 20th century named William McCance “the most advanced Scottish artist of his day”. Despite the calls of figures like MacDiarmid and J.D. Fergusson (perhaps the only Scottish artist to have been both present at, and instrumental in, the birth of Modernism in Paris), there were only a handful of Scottish artists who embraced the same politically progressive and modern artistic outlook. William Johnstone and William McCance were the most significant amongst them.

The Cambuslang-born and Glasgow School of Art trained McCance was vocal in his support of ‘Scottish Renaissance’ ideologies, emoting in one of their magazines ‘The Modern Scot’:

“When the Scot can purge himself of the illusion that Art is reserved for the sentimentalist and realise that he, the Scot, has a natural gift for construction, combined with a racial aptitude for metaphysical thought and deep emotional nature, then out of this combination can arise an art which will be pregnant with Idea, and have a seed of greatness”.

McCance possessed all of the foundation stones of artistic greatness: passion, intellect and a receptive, critical mind.

Yet, despite being a proud Scot and his professed allegiance to the Scottish artistic cause at this time, the melting pot in which his modernist style developed was in fact the West London art scene. Making a living there as a teacher and an art critic for the Spectator, McCance moved in the same circles as artists like Eric

Kennington, William Robertson (who rented a flat from McCance in Earl’s Court) and Leon Underwood. He would have known and been well aware of the work of the Vorticists, including the group’s leader Percy Wyndham Lewis. Like them, he adopted elements of Cubism, including the use of pure colour as a formal device, and Futurism, including the somewhat sinister references to the ‘mechanisation’ of the humanform.

The landscapes shown here are early examples of McCance’s boundary-pushing work; Movement dates to 1923, produced a year after the first recorded example of his artworks in this manner.

His landscapes have been described as “aggressive” and here there is certainly something somewhat violent to the juxtaposition of vivid colours, as well as a sharp,

edgy angularity to the shapes which make up his compositional structure.

As a Modernist, McCance is undoubtedly an important name in the story of Scottish, and for that matter, British art. Why this sharply intelligent, highly progressive artist’s name is not of greater renown is answerable by the fact that his interests were perhaps too wide-ranging: criticism, typography, sculpture, economics and design all numbered amongst his skills and occupations.

Polymathic in ability, McCance was subsequently unfocused on his artistic output, and was also reticent about exhibiting his work. The National Galleries of Scotland have rightly been making efforts to rectify this in recent decades, keen to raise awareness of the unique and important position of McCance in early 20th century art and art theory.

John Duncan Fergusson

36 Lyon & Turnbull

The late Ian and Anne Robertson collected Fergusson’s art to preserve a family connection; Anne’s father was James Macmillan Marshall, a friend of, and sitter for, the artist. Family tradition had it that the pair met at Edinburgh University in the 1890s while attending an anatomy lesson: Macmillan Marshall as a medical student and Fergusson out of artistic interest. Macmillan Marshall always told Anne that Fergusson was one of the greatest talkers he had ever met.

The Robertson’s reestablished the family connection with Fergusson in

1949, when Anne’s grandmother viewed Fergusson’s portrait of Macmillan Marshall in London, spurring her on to make contact. Fergusson immediately invited them to his studio and a friendship unfolded.

The couple were gifted a selection of works by Fergusson and were determined to purchase more, a surprisingly difficult task. In a conversation with a Fergusson Gallery Curator, Anne reminisced about visiting Fergusson in his studio, where he would only have one painting on display, the one on his easel, with all the rest stacked neatly

against the walls. The Robertson’s had to take opportunities when Fergusson left the room to rummage through the stacks, and sometimes bought without a chance to see the whole composition, as when they purchased The Picnic having only seen half of it!

After Fergusson’s death, Margaret Morris came to stay with the couple in Edinburgh, a testament to the strong connection and friendship they shared.

Although known as a Scottish Colourist, Fergusson had distinctive traits that set him apart from the other members of the group: including his lack of formal art

education, emphasis on figurative work and commitment to the promotion of the arts.

Despite sharing an artistic sensibility, he was also distinguished from the other three artists by his international and political outlook. The Robertson Collection demonstrates the many varied facets of Fergusson’s artistic career, and allows his individual talent to shine.

Sculpture was something that Fergusson dabbled in throughout his career and is an important part of his oeuvre, demonstrating his distinctive artistic identity and talent. Philosophy, a stylised female figure glowing golden with a flourish of flowers blooming out of one side and a single geometric bird balancing on her other hand and shoulder, is strikingly modern yet has a timeless quality.

Anne Robertson clearly remembered walking with Margaret Morris, carrying the plaster cast of Philosophy, to have it cast in bronze. It was cast in two editions, a larger and smaller, and Anne requested one from the smaller edition for her collection. Morris always maintained that the sculpture was to be well-polished to maintain a high-shine appearance.

£40,000-60,000

War interrupted Fergusson and Morris’ sunny idyll in the South of France and eventually they chose to settle in Glasgow, which Fergusson felt to be the most Celtic Scottish city, an important accolade from an artist who was endlessly proud of his Scottish ancestry. Together they set to engaging and enlivening the Glasgow arts scene and it was around this time that Fergusson began to receive establishment recognition, following a successful touring retrospective in 1948.

Greenhouse, Botanic Gardens from the early 1950s, demonstrates Fergusson’s endless commitment to his established technique and

subject matter; observing city folk at their leisure in the botanic garden whilst capturing the green lushness and utilising the Cezanneesque brushstrokes and hints of the Fauvist complementary colours that he first encountered and adapted at the turn of the century. It also demonstrates why he came to be known as a colourist, in this, the colours remain brilliantly fresh and clear.

Anne Robertson remembered this being on the easel, the painting Fergusson was currently working on, on their first visit to his studio.

France played a key role in Fergusson’s life, and became a second artistic home.

Fergusson was drawn to Paris, where the café society offered him endless amusement and subject matter, as he tried to capture the effects of each passing, stylish moment in small-scale works such as At a Cafe Table.

The materiality of the paint on the board just adds to the atmosphere of this charming scene, demonstrating the fashionable dress and engaging social activity that surrounded the artist. As Fergusson himself noted in Paris, “something new had started and I was very much intrigued. But there was no language for it that made sense in Edinburgh or London.”

£80,000-120,000

Despite the endless entertainment and stimulating artistic company and opportunities in Paris, by 1913, Fergusson was looking for something new, ‘I had grown tired of the north of France; I wanted more sun, more colour; I wanted to go south.’ The South of France became a place to which he and his partner, the dancer Margaret Morris, returned again and again for long, luxurious summers. Together they held strong views on the

importance of leading a healthy outdoor lifestyle in a warm, sunny environment. So Morris hosted her summer schools while Fergusson sketched the dancers and bathers that would become recurring subjects in sundappled works like The Picnic, with its Cezanne-inspired brushwork and chalky white tones conveying the strong heat and bright sunshine.

Scottish Paintings & Sculpture 45 SIR WILLIAM GEORGE GILLIES Gillies was born at Haddington in East Lothian in 1898, the son of a tailor and tobacconist. Largely selftaught in his youth, he gained a place at Edinburgh College of Art in 1916. No sooner had he joined, however than his education was interrupted by military service in World War I. Gillies joined the Scottish Rifles (Cameronians) and served for two years on the Western Front, being both gassed and wounded.

With the end of hostilities, Gillies resumed his studies at Edinburgh and along with some of his fellow students embraced the brave new world of Modernism, looking across the channel to the Post-Impressionism of Van Gogh, the ‘wild beasts’ Matisse and Derain and the radicalism of Picasso and Braque. His contemporaries at Edinburgh included Sir William MacTaggart and William Crozier and in 1922 with them and six other graduates of the E.C.A. he founded the 1922 group. The

following year he travelled on a scholarship to France with another fellow student, William Geissler and studied in Paris under the minor Cubist painter Andre Lhote.

Although Gillies later denied Lhote’s influence, his early work evinces the effect of the French modernists, in particular of Cezanne and Gris, albeit in a less radical style of the genre.

Back in Scotland Gillies began a teaching career at the E.C.A., which would last for the next forty years.

His early style soon gave way to a looser touch, although in 1931 Gillies saw the Society of Scottish Artists’ influential Munch exhibition in Edinburgh and was deeply affected. He now began to paint in two distinct styles of oil and watercolour, the one being planar and owing much to Bonnard, Matisse and Munch, the latter being loose and expressive, with a feel for the quality of the medium, tempered by sound pencil work.

Gradually, Gillies changed to a more naturalistic style of landscape and still life and became known chiefly for his watercolours, particularly those inspired by the landscapes of rural Midlothian, where he lived for the remainder of his life.

Gillies was a member of the Society of Scottish Artists, the 1922 Group and the Society of Eight. In 1940 he was elected A.R.S.A. and R.S.A. in 1947. He became President of the R.S.W. in 1963, was made C.B.E. in 1957 and knighted in 1970.

The pictures included here cover Gillies’ career from the late 1940s until the year before his death and offer a good overview of his development.

One of the earliest, Roseberry Reservoir, a watercolour painted in 1948, is a moody essay in expressionist form and colour. In contrast, the view of Mount Lothian is in Gillies’ more precise style using pencil to define features as he does again in a Studio

Interior, painted in 1964, a rare and evocative example of the artist’s mature domestic interiors.

The gouache of Pigeons on a Doocot, exhibits Gillies’ ongoing interest in the power of pure form and line. Almost abstract in character and relying for its impact on plane and colour, it translates the Scottish rural tradition into the context of international modernism.

The latest images here were both exhibited at Aitken Dott’s Christmas show in 1972. One, a watercolour of Letham Farm is as simple and spontaneous as Gillies can be, an expression of a spirit of place through pastoral tones, planar recession and confident brushstrokes. The other, an oil of Pittenweem, exhibits Gillie’s skill in the medium, harking back to his early French influences and a Matisse-like simplicity but at the same time bringing to both an essentially Scottish palette and character.

£4,000-6,000

James Morrison is one of the country’s leading and most popular landscape artists. He was born in Glasgow in 1932 and completed his studies there at the Glasgow School of Art in the early 1950s.

Morrison then took up a teaching post in Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee, before turning to painting full time in Montrose. He has since been settled there for many years and his work has become synonymous with the area.

The artist’s handling of oil paint - reducing it to fluid, almost liquid washes of colour - is both instantly recognisable and beautifully distinctive.

His faithful depictions of Angus and the Western Highlands are suspended somewhere between realism and impressionism. Eloquent brushstrokes are used to create a sense of texture and movement; be it rolling clouds

on the horizon or blusters of wind through grass. His markmaking has a deceptive simplicity that can only accompany a sophisticated level of technical skill. From a distance, the overall effect is almost photographic in accuracy. In proximity, however, his technique cleverly disassembles into wisps and mere suggestions of form.

The Wood Collection

58 Lyon & Turnbull

Unsurprisingly given the healthy market for Scottish art and the scarcity of significant collections, the Wood Collection is highly anticipated. Representing Hunter, Peploe and Cadell, the works offered include strong examples by each. Far from being a cohesive movement as many assume, the term “Scottish Colourist” was in fact posthumously bestowed on the trio in the 1940s. J.D. Fergusson, who lived until the mid-1960s, was categorised as the fourth Colourist even later still. This dates the Wood Collection’s origins to those early days when the phrase “Scottish Colourists” had yet to be coined.

The paintings were purchased between the 1920s and the 1940s by the Edinburgh collector Walter Quarry Wood,

President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. As well as being a personal friend and supporter of F.C.B. Cadell, Quarry Wood was advised by Duncan Macdonald of the renowned dealers Reid and Lefevre. The works hung for many years in his family’s residence in the city’s New Town. Wood was originally from the Scottish Borders and was a personal friend of Anne Redpath, whose pictures also feature in the collection.

Upon his death in 1958, his daughter Elizabeth Wood inherited his artworks, and a lasting appreciation for art.

Quarry Wood’s only child, Elizabeth in fact met and sat for Cadell as a young girl.

Sadly, Wood spent the last decade of her life in a nursing home due to failing health, but retained a great interest

in modern Scottish art to the end of her life. The collection has consequently not been seen on the market since the day they were originally purchased by her father.

Quarry Wood’s collection clearly demonstrates a shrewd eye, and there is a key note from each of the artist’s oeuvres: Still lives by Peploe and Hunter, and Edinburgh interiors and Ionian landscapes from Cadell. Many of the works have an interesting exhibition history; Cadell’s The Wedgwood Vase in particular has long been considered of particular note by curators assembling important Cadell and Colourist retrospectives over the decades.

Along with an impeccable sense of style, Cadell also demonstrated ample versatility as an artist. The beautiful landscape offered here is evidence of this. He was particularly attached to and spiritually stimulated by the island of Iona. Indeed, during Cadell’s time in the trenches during World War 1, his letters to his close friend S. J. Peploe speak of his longing to return to Iona and the safe haven that it represented to him.

Interested in (and adored by) the local community on Iona, he often painted the abbey, crofts, and the farmers herding their cows or working

their crops. Ever reluctant to return to Edinburgh where his financial realities awaited him, the work Cadell produced en plein air in Iona reveals a different aspect of his character to the elegant still lifes and interiors painted back in Auld Reekie. Here his work exudes an upbeat freshness. His technique loosened as his mood unwound and his Iona subjects display a deft airiness evocative of breezy, carefree summer days.

Cadell, 2011 Literature: Tom Hewlett, Cadell - a Scottish Colourist 1988, p.73

£250,000-350,000

Quarry Wood was both a friend and patron of F.C.B. Cadell, and it is therefore unsurprising that works by this artist are amongst the highlights of the collection.

Cadell’s character is often described as being as colourful as his artworks.

Though eccentric, he did not necessarily fit the role of the stereotypical “bohemian”, instead preferring the good life; luxury, orderliness and all things beautiful. These preferences over-spilled abundantly into his life and art and are especially evident in the decoration of his Edinburgh studios which Cadell would appoint with a meticulous eye. The huge floor to ceiling windows characteristic of the Edinburgh New Town would flood the spacious rooms with light. The floor was a lacquered black, the furniture

and woodwork painted in scarlet, lapis or jade, and the walls a distinctive lilac hue, as seen here in the magnificent The Wedgwood Vase. A painting of rare and exceptional quality, it embodies Cadell’s inarguable high artistic skill.

After WW1 he began maximising his use of colour whilst simultaneously minimalising his handling. In this manner he was able to cleverly stylize and pare-back complicated compositions, producing a clean, sophisticated effect which nodded to the Art Deco movement of the time. What he doesn’t say with his paintbrush – leaving some sections of the canvas virtually bare or suggesting forms with the most minimal of brushstrokes - is as important to the whole as the areas which are depicted in

meticulous detail, like the vase itself. The elegant black marble fire place is picked out in sleek, blockish licks of paint, the high-shine of its surface reflecting the carefully curated selection of beautiful objects arranged on the mantle. Cadell was known to hang his own paintings about his walls and it is likely that we see one here in the upper left corner; vibrant green fronds of foliage in a dark gold frame. This in turn picks out the gilded accents on the smooth white vase which forms the focal point of the composition.

This painting is the epitome of all of the elements that made and indeed still make Cadell so irresistible to collectors: his innate artistic flair, an inherent sense of style and a seemingly effortless technical skill.

£200,000-300,000

Cadell admirers will know that he made a small number of versions of this particular composition; a beautiful, angular cobalt-blue jug filled with delicate pink roses, set against the lilac ground of his Ainslie Place studio walls. A charming feature of many of the Colourists’ work is the reoccurrence of particular props in their still lifes; in this case we can see the same jade green bowl that sits on the mantelpiece in Cadell’s The Wedgwood Vase.

It was the early 1920s and Cadell, having moved away from his more Impressionistic, Edwardianera style after WW1, was fully

immersed in the Modernist innovations which were taking hold on the Continent at the time. Pure colour is used to create volume and form; texture – be it smooth porcelain or crisp white linen is suggested by his brushwork, and inventive blue outlines set the palette singing and lend the work a graphic, highly distinctive aesthetic.

Though this period of bright, sophisticated still lives is among the most popular area of his oeuvre with today’s collectors, their reception in conservative Edinburgh society at the time couldn’t have been more different.

Cadell became the subject of a month-long debate in the Scotsman, which became known as “The Bolshevism of Colour”. His high-hued and stylised renderings caused much controversy amongst the traditionalists who frequented the RSA at the time, while other notable art world figures sprang to the defence of his parameter – pushing treatment of the still life genre.

£120,000-180,000

Although Peploe produced many stunning portraits, landscapes and figurative subjects, the still-life afforded him a lifetime of possibilities and today he is recognised as perhaps the most important still-life painter in Britain in the twentieth century. Two distinct phases of his still-lifes are shown here: Roses in a Green Vase, it’s angular, faceted brushwork dating it to c.1924, and the slightly later Tulips in a Vase which

demonstrates a looser, more textural technique.

By the mid-1920s Peploe was painting with total virtuosity.

Though his work was pushed through several evolutionary stages, very little of his output exhibits anything other than a sense of total surety. It is a rare work which features elements that struggle to work within his compositions, Roses in a Green Vase being no exception. Peploe would meticulously envisage his

approach to each canvas before he picked up a paintbrush. When writing about his friend’s technique fellow Colourist J.D. Fergusson confirmed that this preparatory process engendered a confidence which Peploe hoped could be tangible to the viewer.

£100,000-150,000

There is so much in these mere objects, flowers, leaves, jugs, what not – colours, form, relation – I can never see mystery coming to an end’ - Peploe to a fellow artist in 1929, on the endless appeal of the stilllife.

By the late 1920s, from which Tulips in a Vase dates, Peploe returned with more subtlety to the muted colours of Cézanne. His subsequent paintings are cooler in palette, weightier in form and focused on tonal harmony, with loose brushwork and splashes of warm colour enlivening the overall effect.

£80,000-120,000

Peploe was first encouraged to visit the isle of Iona by his friend and fellow Scottish Colourist, F.C.B. Cadell, and both artists were to be endlessly inspired by its cool, crisp light and constantly changing weather and coastline. It became a place to which Peploe returned for many summers with his young family, offering relaxation and a fresh perspective. Iona Abbey is a

key landmark of the isle, and here Peploe’s light yet confident handling renders it as the key compositional element in a work that views it from nearby high ground; gliding over nearby crofts to the Abbey and then out towards the expanse of sea and other Western Isles beyond. A Colourist by name, Peploe deftly uses a palette of soft greens, whites and yellow with sparse highlights of a

stronger blue to create a harmonious composition that captures the distinctive atmosphere of the West Coast of Scotland.

£50,000-70,000

The Scottish Colourists were united in their love of the landscape and culture of France as well as the painting developments occurring there in the early 20th century.

Peploe’s vital attachment to the South of France, in particular, is also present in this collection, in an important, typically paletoned study of trees in a landscape, painted in Cassis in 1928 and inscribed by the artist’s wife. It was his

painting colleague J.D. Fergusson who originally convinced Peploe to visit France when he was growing tired of Edinburgh, and Peploe rapidly reacted to the bright, sparkling light of the continent in his paintings with a clear, fresh palette and looser brushwork. In this study, his soft, creamy and chalky tones immediately convey the heat and beautifully dappled light of the Mediterranean.

He was also unique in originating from the west of Scotland. Hunter was born in Rothesay, Bute in 1877, the son of a chemist. In 1892 the family emigrated to California where his father had invested in an orange farm, near Los Angeles. While the family returned to Scotland eight years later, however, Hunter, then aged 22, chose, with an elder brother, to stay on and settled in San Francisco.

If Fergusson and Peploe had been enthused by the intellectual café society of Paris, it was the equivalent environment of San Francisco that now inspired Hunter.

Although he had had no formal training, such was the quality of his early work that in 1901 he showed at the San Francisco Arts Association and in 1902 in the first exhibition of the California Society of Artists. We know that he first visited Paris in 1904-5 and returned to San Francisco the following year only to find that a huge amount of his work had been destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake.

Probably as a consequence he returned to Scotland to live with his mother in Glasgow.

Frustrated by having to make a living through illustration, in 1910, at the age of 33, he moved to London and it seems possible that he met Peploe and Fergusson for the first time in Paris in 1911 and it is either here or in London that he also befriended E.A. Taylor and his wife Jessie Marion King.

He showed at Alexander Reid’s gallery in Glasgow in 1913 and again in 1916 and his work from this early period exhibits a distinct Dutch influence, married to some of the PostImpressionist lessons that he must have learnt from France.

In 1915 he showed for the first time at the R.S.A. Following the outbreak of war and for the duration, he worked on his uncle’s farm, near Larkhall.

By 1922 Hunter was painting in Paris, Venice and Florence and also travelling in Fife, painting and sketching extensively, ever in search of the perfect light. While in Paris he visited Epstein and Matisse and increasingly, his palette now became altogether brighter and more vibrant A short visit to the States in 1924 was followed by further work in Fife and at Loch Lomond and a solo show at Aitken Dott in Edinburgh and another at Reid’s.

The following year, apparently frustrated with the shortcomings of Glasgow as an artistic milieu, he moved to the south of France and

began to paint in St Tropez and Antibes. In 1928 he joined Fergusson and Peploe at Cassis but despite Reid organising shows of his work the sales failed to materialise.

In response Hunter tried the US market and in 1929 showed in New York.

Returning to France he threw himself into his work with new vigour. But this intensity also had its down side. He had always been prone to bouts of temper and mood swings and his mind now became increasingly unstable, inclining him to prolonged periods of isolation.

Alone in his studio one day, mistaking a bottle of turpentine for something more palatable, he caused himself dreadful harm and was rushed to hospital in Nice before returning to Glasgow.

The effects of this accident persisted and his health grew

steadily worse. Sadly, Hunter died just two years later in 1931 aged 54, learning just days before his death that a painting of his had been bought by the French government and hung in the Musée du Luxembourg.

A Still Life of Roses and Fruit, is typical of Hunter’s work of the mid 1920s, using a backdrop of drapery and with the foreground objects set on a table, angled towards the viewer. By this date Hunter has moved away from the predominating Dutch influence of his early still-lifes, with their dark backgrounds and jewel-like fruit and there is a tendency to abandon perspective and group the objects as arrangements on a single plane. He has yet however, to embrace the fullblown Cloissonism of the very late still-lifes.

61 SV824/9 GEORGE LESLIE HUNTER (SCOTTISH 1879-1931) BOATS IN HARBOUR Signed, oil on panel 25.5cm x 35.5cm (10in x 14in)

£10,000-15,000

Of the two works on offer here, Boats in Harbour has a distinctly French, PostImpressionist flavour, being reminiscent of Van Gogh, particularly in tone and colouring. We know from Honeyman’s biography that Hunter had a notebook containing a detailed analysis of Van Gogh’s palette and this work demonstrates that enduring admiration. It was at this time, when, as the other Colourists were moving

towards greater structure, that Hunter began to do quite the opposite, painting with broader, looser strokes.

The painting depicts a view from the pier at Largo in the East Neuk of Fife, which Hunter painted a number of times. This work is painted from exactly the same viewpoint as that taken by the artist in a similar, though slightly, smaller painting, Summer Day, Largo now in Kelvingrove Art Gallery,

Glasgow - even including several of the same boats.

The painting would appear to date from the early 1920s.

Hunter had first visited Fife in 1919 and continued to paint there throughout the next few years, staying in Ceres and Largo. However, a visit to Italy in 1922 so overwhelmed him that he became disappointed by the cooler light of the Fife paintings.

£50,000-70,000

As a personal friend of Anne Redpath, Walter Quarry Wood included some lovely examples of her still-life work within his collection, alongside the work of the Scottish Colourists.

In an interview, where Anne Redpath discussed the collection of items featured in her house, the artist exposed the blurred boundary of art and life as she lived and painted; ‘They are a mixture but they have all been chosen for me and therefore live quite happily, and they all have memories too – memories of places that I have been to, and also of my life. I read once long ago that you can’t have art without experiences, and I feel that all the things I have, that I live amongst, have both memories and experiences and are part of my painting.’

This sentiment is particularly true of her still-life paintings, in which her own personal collection of objects, especially ceramics, feature heavily.

Still-life subjects were an enduring area of interest for Redpath, and as these examples demonstrate, colour and texture were of the utmost importance in her compositions. In her travels as an art student she had admired the dry, flat quality of frescoes in Siena and

spoke often of how powerful an influence she found the white-washed walls of her Mediterranean accommodation. Redpath was also interested in the relationship between two and three dimensions and the decorative quality of compositional elements; often flattening perspective, depicting assemblages from a high vantage point and converting featured objects into decorative compositional components, as with the red chair in A Still-Life of Spring Flowers, which becomes areas of pure textural colour.

In A Still-Life of Spring Flowers the extravagance of flowers

fills the pictorial plane, spilling out to the top right and bottom left corner; these are beautifully balanced out by the superficial, decorative lines of the red chair back and Redpath’s distinctive looping signature, to the bottom right.

This was a convention she often used, harnessing her signature script as a distinct compositional element. The background colours remain a soft background for the contrasting strong blues, pinks and fresh white to stand against, but the texture comes purely from the paint.

£40,000-60,000

Both paintings offered here clearly reveal Redpath’s love of all types of colour, from bright and lush, to quiet and soft. In Still-Life of Flowers in a Blue and White Jug, her use of white throughout the composition gives a feeling of freshness to the whole work.

Here, as often in her paintings, she builds a textured background in soft colours, often in grey tones, against which the warm pink and orange flowers, strong dark blue of the vase’s decoration and splash of yellow pop. She likened this ability to create vivid yet harmonious palettes to her father’s profession as a textile designer, ‘I do with a spot of red or yellow in a harmony of grey what my father did in his tweed.’

The composition of Still-Life of Flowers in a Blue and White Jug is beautifully balanced, and

this careful arrangement of objects fit into Redpath’s wider view of life, in which beauty and art could find its expression in the most personal and straightforward of settings; a meal amongst friends, a pretty setting for tea, or our everyday objects.

Redpath was endlessly fascinated with the pursuit of beauty in art and life, and the eternal decorative possibilities of colour and composition.

£8,000-12,000 END OF SALE

John Bellany drew heavily on his background to create a compelling and instantly recognisable visual language.

Born in 1942 in the small fishing town of Port Seton on the east coast of Scotland, his subject matter is informed by the experiences of his coastal upbringing and the folklore of his ancestry, connected to the ocean. The community was strictly Calvinist, and the rigidity of its guilt-inducing doctrine also permeates his work.

These contextual reference points were illustrated in Bellany’s inventive figurative style. Though the aesthetic is entirely and distinctively his own, Bellany’s compositions deliberately borrow from the religious tableaus of the Old Masters (including his frequent adoption of the triptych format), and his expressionistic representation of the human form and emotive use of colour from

inter-war era German artists like Max Beckmann.

Like these artists before him, Bellany used visual symbols to represent and allude to moods and messages within his work. In Sea People, for example, he combines the traditional artistic motif of the dog - representative of matrimonial fidelity - and the owl - a cipher for wisdom with his own invented stock of imagery. This includes a puffin’s colourful beak, and a black-eyed and somewhat sinister seagull. They occupy the narrow deck of a fishing boat, sailing on an ominously still, intensely blue ocean. The captain of the ship, his face half obscured, bears a resemblance to the artist himself, and something or someone appears to be wearing the façade of the seagull as a cloak. It was painted in the early 1970s, a point when Bellany was increasingly reflecting on the

human condition. In these monumental works, the ship represents our voyage through life to death.

Deliberately impenetrable and oblique to the viewer, his paintings hold both deeply personal meaning whilst simultaneously hinting at more universal issues including fate, sex, guilt and death.

(f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf.

5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer's Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer's Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

6. VALUE ADDED TAX 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.

(1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with

a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

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. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

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.

Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor 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 Lyon & Turnbull 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 Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way.

(3) 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.

(4) 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.
