Title: Composition Artist: Georges Mathieu (born 1921). Signed and inscribed Lower Right. Date 1964 Medium: Pen and Ink. Size [Metric]: 22 x 27 cm. With frame:35 x 39 cm. Size [Imperial]: 8 1/2 in. x 10 1/2 in With Frame: 13 1/2 x 15 1/2 in. Condition: Very good. Price: £1,250 The colour of this drawing is paler than in the majority of the photos. The inscription appears to read "For Eddy with Love". A typed note on the back indicated the provenance as Gimpel Fils - November 1964. I followed it up and showed the work to Gimpel Fils who were confidant of its authenticity and kindly obtained Mathieu's own confirmation. I will provide either a note from Mathieu himself or (given his age and some infirmity) a letter from Gimpels Fils proving authenticity. Georges Mathieu Mathieu began to paint shortly after graduating from the University of Lille. He then spent a few years teaching including an appointment as a Professor at the American University in Biarritz before devoting himself to art. He was remarkably successful. His works are included in collections in France: and elsewhere in:

SOLD Title: Night Journey Artist: Stuart Somerville (1908 - 1982) Signed: Signed Lower Right. Medium: Gouache. Size [Metric]: 23 x 16 cm . With Frame: 40.5 x 32cms. Size [Imperial]: 9 x 6 1/2 in. With Frame: 16 x 12 1/2 in. Price: £425. SOLD Stuart Somerville The son of artist and collector Charles Somerville and brother of artist Peggy Somerville, in his early 20s Stuart Somerville travelled to Africa and painted there. He exhibited at the RA, ROI (Royal Institute of Oil Painters), RHA (Royal Hibernian Academy) , RSA (Royal Scottish Academy) and the Fine Art Society. From somewhere I picked up the view that Somerville occasionally illustrated book jackets and have wondered whether this work was painted for that purpose - unfortunately I cannot now remember where I got the information from! Certainly this work is out of his normal style (centred on classic and very beautiful studies often of flowers) and seems to have been a throwback to his African experience. email: patrick@worksofart.org.uk |

Title: Red Square and the Forbidden City Artist: David Hockney RA Medium: Lithograph on paper. No. 24 of 1000 Signed: Signed in pencil Lower Right and Inscribed "82" Date: 1982 Size [Metric]: 49 x 54 cm . With Frame: 69.5 x 73 cms. Size [Imperial]: 19 x 21 1/2 in. With Frame: 27 x 28 1/2 in. Condition: Good Price: £950 One of the earliest of the run (24/1000) this signed lithograph is in the shape of an inverted "T" and in its original "floating frame" - glazed both back and front. Whilst this has its attractions it does make the work very difficult to photograph! I used a background that I hoped would mean that shadows would not show. Unhappily they do but they are only shadows! David Hockney RA (1937 - ) email: patrick@worksofart.org.uk |

SOLD Title: Martigny -Le-Bourg [Inscribed "Bourg" Upper Left]. Artist: Frederick Clarke(e)? Not signed Date: 1860. Medium: Watercolour, some pencil. Size [Metric]: 25 x 18 cm. With frame: 44.5 x 36 cm. Size [Imperial]: 10 x 7 in. With Frame: 17.5 x 14 in. Condition: Very Good. Price: £85 An attractive watercolour of a street scene. Confusingly the backboard has both "Frederick Clark" and "Frederick Clarke" written on it together with the date 1860.

Title: Landscape with Madeley Manor, Stafford Artist: William Callow RWS (1812 - 1908). Signed and inscribed with date and title Lower Right. Date: 1842. Medium: Watercolour. Condition: Very Good. Size [Metric]: 25 x 35 cm. With frame: 46 x 56 cm. Size [Imperial]: 10 x 13.5 in. With Frame: 18 x 22 in Price: £650 William Callow One of the great Victorian watercolourists his life is well documented. Callow spent much of his youth abroad but in 1842, the year of this painting, took the lease of a London property. Jan Reynolds in "William Callow" p. 80 states that 1842 "marked an advance in the establishment of the individual style of Callow although it is still possible to detect a very positive influence from T. S. Boys (Thomas Shooter Boys) in some work from this date." In 1842 Callow also began giving drawing lessons in England ( in Paris he had been drawing master to the family of Louis Phillippe) - at which he appears to have been very successful. He visited Madeley Manor, Staffordshire twice in order to give lessons to Miss Crewe the sister of Lord Crewe. A label on back indicates that the painting was displayed at Appleby Bros. St James in its autumn 1965 exhibition. Callow's works are in museum collections in Bristol, Dublin, London (the Wallace Collection and the V & A), Manchester, Reading and Sydney. email: patrick@worksofart.org.uk |
