‘Flowers in a jar’ by Duncan Grant and George Bergen
This intimate work dates to a significant moment in Duncan Grant’s life, a relatively short-lived, but emotionally meaningful
romantic relationship with George Bergen.
Bergen, a naturalised American citizen born in Minsk, met Grant in late 1929 and their friendship quickly evolved into an intense
relationship. George, described as “addicted to all the sexes” was known for his good looks and artistic inclinations, which likely
attracted Duncan. For eighteen months or so, as Grant’s biographer Frances Spalding wrote, “Duncan’s emotional life hinged on
this man’s existence’’.
The relationship ruffled feathers within the complex interpersonal dynamics among the Bloomsbury members, with Virgina Woolf
describing Bergen as “sheep headed, bird witted, and not nice”, but it was Grant’s enduring relationship with Vanessa Bell that
was affected the most, as Bergen was an acute source of anxiety to Bell, who feared that Duncan might leave for America with
Bergen. As Grant expressed the predicament in a letter to his old friend David ‘Bunny’ Garnett, “‘I know perfectly well that George
loves me … But why do I get into a state when he is tired and I am tired and therefore think that he has no feeling for me? And
why does Nessa not believe that I love her as much as ever I did? … Why does she not realise that my love for George gives me
more power to love her instead of less … The truth is I want them both … Only I know that sometimes Nessa suddenly feels that I
give something to George that I don’t give to her.”. Amidst these sexual and emotional crosscurrents, Grant continued to paint—
sometimes alongside both Bell and Bergen, as in 1930 when they spent a few weeks together in Cassis.
Several of his George’s paintings hung at Charleston, where he spent time, and it was in the gardens at Charleston where the
work offered here was created, as evidenced by Grant’s portrait ‘George Bergen Painting in the Garden’ showing Bergen working
on this very piece.
Eventually, the relationship between Grant and Bergen came to end, as George began spending less time with Grant and more
time in America, first in California, where he was friendly with stars such as Charlie Chaplin, whom he painted, before settling in
New York in 1939. Duncan visited New York in the 1960s with Paul Roche and he rekindled his friendship with George. A few years
later, Duncan and Vanessa’s daughter Angelica visited New York and fell in love with George. When she told Duncan how she felt,
he wrote back, “Of course I am deeply interested to hear of your feelings for George. I only hope his complete inability to write
letters may not make things difficult for you.” suggesting Grant still harboured conflicting feelings toward George over thirty years
after their relationship ended. This rekindling of contact led to Duncan sending George a Christmas gift of a watercolour in 1963,
the subject a study of flowers in a jar (sold Sworder’s Auctioneers, 4th October 2022, lot 90) a not-so-subtle nod to this work no
doubt aimed to remind Bergen of their time together.
This extremely rare collaborative work, created at the height of an intoxicating liaison, endured as poignant memento for Duncan,
as it was pinned on the door in his studio for the remainder of his life. The decorative wet drug jar as depicted in this work,
remains there today, and was photographed by Gavin Kingcome in the 2018 revision of Quentin Bell and Virginia Nicholson’s
‘Charleston – A Bloomsbury House and Garden’ (pages 77 and 78).

Undoubtedly considered the premier marine painter of the
20th century, Montague Dawson is celebrated for his highly
detailed compositions of sailing ships and naval battles at sea.
He possessed an uncanny ability to capture the motion of the
waves, the fullness of the sails, and the atmosphere of the sea in
his maritime paintings, which document the great clippers and
warships of the 18th and 19th centuries. Lauded as “the King of
the Clipper Ship School,” no artist has been able to match the
painstaking level of detail and remarkable sense of realism as this
maritime master.

Edward Wolfe RA
Painter and illustrator Edward Wolfe was born into a Jewish family in
Johannesburg, South Africa on 29th May 1897. In 1914, at the beginning
of the First World War, he moved to Britain to study art, initially at Regent
Street Polytechnic, and then, from 1916-18, at the Slade School of Fine Art,
where he met Nina Hamnett, who introduced him to Roger Fry.
Wolfe became associated with the Bloomsbury Group, first exhibiting at
Fry’s Omega Workshops, and sitting for a portrait by Duncan Grant, c. 1921.
He also exhibited at the London Group in 1918 (elected 1923), holding his
first solo exhibition in Johannesburg in 1920, and his first solo UK exhibition
at the Mayor Gallery, London in 1926. He also held two solo shows with the
London Artist’s Association in 1930 and 1932, the latter of which featured
the work offered here 1 .
Between 1926 and 1931, he was also an active member of the 7&5 Society,
despite living and working part of the decade in Paris and Italy. Wolfe’s
bold use of colour invited comparison with the work of the Fauves, in
fact he was often dubbed ‘the English Matisse’, although art historian
and curator Mary Chamot likened him to ‘an English Gauguin’. Although
naturalised in Britain, he continued to travel widely, spending long
periods in North Africa, Mexico and the United States. He exhibited at
the Royal Academy of Arts from 1951 to 1970 and was elected a Royal
Academician in 1972. The Arts Council arranged a retrospective in 1967.

The Omega Workshops Ω
The Omega Workshops Ltd. was a design enterprise founded by members of
the Bloomsbury Group and established in July 1913. It was located at 33 Fitzroy
Square in London, and was founded with the intention of providing graphic
expression to the essence of the Bloomsbury ethos. The Workshops were also
closely associated with the Hogarth Press and the artist and critic Roger Fry,
who was the principal figure behind the project, believed that artists could
design, produce and sell their own works, and that writers could also be their
own printers and publishers. The Directors of the firm were Fry, Duncan Grant
and Vanessa Bell.
Wolfe was still a teenager when he made the acquaintance of Nina Hamnett
who asked him to join Omega Workshops, painting designs on furniture,
lampshades and other household objects. It was Fry who was quick to
acknowledge Wolfe’s natural abilities as a draughstman in the modern idiom
and he included him in his 1918 article ‘Line as a Means of Expression in Modern
Art’ alongside Matisse, Modigliani and Gaudier-Brzeska. Writing about Wolfe’s
early drawings in The Burlington Magazine Roger Fry observed, “The calligraphy
is of the new kind, far subtler, more discreet and unemphatic than the old,
but it is the calligraphy that first of all strikes us. One is indeed surprised
to find young artists drawing with such a delightful freedom from all selfconsciousness,
so entirely without bravura and display.”
Omega closed in 1919, after a clearance sale, and was officially liquidated
on 24 July 1920. A series of poor financial decisions and internal conflicts all
contributed to its decline. At the time of its closure, Fry was the only remaining
original member working regularly at the workshop. Despite this, Omega
became influential in interior design in the 1920s.

A pivotal friendship
Jim Ede, the founder of Kettle’s Yard, met Edward Wolfe in Florence in 1924, while
Ede was researching his book on quattrocento drawings. In Florence, both had
been guests of the art historian Bernard Berenson at the Villa I Tatti. Wolfe was
actually one of the first contemporary artists who Jim befriended and was a
frequent visitor to the home of Jim and Helen Ede at Elm Row in Hampstead in
the late 1920s.
Early in 1930, Wolfe invited Jim and Helen to stay with him at a house he was
living in just outside Tangier in Morocco. They were there for almost two
months, and the trip provided the Edes with much-needed rest, as well as time
for Jim to work on his biography of the sculptor Henri-Gaudier Brzeska, the first
edition of which would be published later that year. A portrait by Wolfe made
around this time shows Jim Ede reclining on a cane chair in a garden with
the sea beyond. He holds a pen and paper on his lap, and to his right is a low
table upon which are several red-bound volumes. The books in the painting
appear to correspond to the 1930 and 1931 editions of Ede’s book, published by
Heineman, which featured Gaudier-Brzeska’s signature in gold on a red cover.
Ede’s friendship with Wolfe was to prove significant, not just in introducing the
young curator to the world of contemporary art, but also in introducing Ede to
Tangier. Wolfe’s love of Morocco influenced the Ede’s to the extent that in 1936,
following Jim’s resignation from his curatorial post at the Tate Gallery, where he
had worked since 1921, they moved to Tangier. Where, with the help of a local
architect, Jim designed a large house in the new Modernist style, which he
called ‘Whitestone’. It was a few miles from the centre of Tangier, half way up a
stretch of hills known as ‘the Mountain’. From its terraces were panoramic views
across the bay and into the country. The Ede’s lived in Tangier for sixteen years,
before moving first to Les Charlottières in the Loire Valley, and then in 1956 to
their most famous home, Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.
‘Portrait of Jim Ede’ by Edward Wolfe, 1931
A life of colour
Known in his lifetime as ‘England’s Matisse’ Edward Wolfe is now
widely celebrated for his vibrant portraits, vivid still lifes and
sweeping landscapes, enriched by his international travels. Anthony
Blunt opined in his 1932 article in The Spectator, following Wolfe’s solo
London Artist’s Association show “One of the mosrt striking features
of the exhibition is the variety of moods which Mr Wolfe is capable of
conveying. In general he is perhaps at his best in the brilliantly coloured
Tangier scenes, or the figures studies, ‘Afternoon’ or ‘Bdsotd and
Fatima” 2
In his monograph about the artist, John Russell-Taylor observed
“Throughout his career, Wolfe used almost any graphic medium
which came to hand. He was adept at painting in oils - his early
career at the Slade ensured that - and his oils were perhaps the
medium in which he showed to most advantage. But he was also
a brilliant draughtsman, and a compulsive one: even at the last,
given a ball-point pen or a fibre-tip, he would start sketching portraits
of those around or make elaborate designs out of doodles.” 3
Whilst Wolfe had always been respected as an artist of international
importance, his influence on his peers clear and enduring, his works
have become extremely sought after in recent years, as evidenced
by his intimate portrait of Pat Nelson, which following its starring role in
Tate Britain’s popular 2017 exhibition ‘Queer British Art’ sold for £95,000
at Lyon & Turnbull Auctioneers in 2021.
Edward Wolfe by S. S. Walia, 1970s
The work offered here is considered Wolfe’s masterpiece by the artist’s
biographer John Russell Taylor. A tour de force of colour and
composition, the influence of Matisse obvious in places, but on the
whole unmistakably Wolfe - a painting by an artist at the height of his
powers. Executed in Morocco circa 1929, ‘Afternoon’ features a model
regularly used by Wolfe, both in drawings and in another oil ‘News
from Town’, now in the collection of Derbyshire & Derby School Library
Service (see overleaf.)

Paul Guillaume & Brandon Davis
Despite both enjoting relatively short lives, the legacies of Paul Guillaume and
Brandon Davis in modern French and British art cannot be overestimated.
Guillaume, born in Paris in 1891, rose from modest origins to become one of the
leading cultural players and art dealer-collectors of Paris in the early twentieth
century, dealing in works by Henri Matisse, Constantin Brâncuși, Pablo Picasso,
Giorgio de Chirico, Amadeo Modigliani and Chaïm Soutine, before his untimely
death from peritonitis in 1934.
Davis, like Wolfe a South African by birth, was an attorney by trade, but a
voracious lover of art, becoming a dealer-collector himself, with a collection
boasting 123 works by Matisse, mostly acquired through Bernheim Jeune or Paul
Guillaume. Davis met Wolfe on a ferry bound for Cape Town in 1919, a meeting
that would lead to Davis becoming Wolfe's principal patron.
Guillaume and Davis went into business together, trading as Guillaume &
Davis Inc., with a gallery in Mayfair's Grosvenor Street, run by Fredddy Mayor.
The partnership, however, was short-lived and was dissolved when Mr. Davis
refused to limit the exhibitions to Frenchmen, he being an enthusiast of the
modern English school. Davis continued on his own, exhibiting the works of
Augustus John, Richard Sickert and other notable, inluding Edward Wolfe. It is
likely that Davis retained possession of 'Afternoon' following the closure of his
partnership with Guillaume.
Davis was a familiar London figure, always carrying a tortoise-shell headed
cane and a spyglass. He died in London in 1931, fatally injured in a fall from the
fifth floor of Whitehall Court.
The brief partnership resulted in purchases of many notable works of art, such
as Renoir's 1876 self portrait, now in the collection of Harvard College and
'Interior at Nice' by Henri Matisse, now with Art Institute Chicago. It is clear then,
just how highly Edward Wolfe, and this work in particular, was thought of by
the titans of the art world in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Harry Thubron was a familiar name nationally and
internationally during the 50s and 60s. His radical and
reconstructive work in art education was legendary and
many have said that he was one of the greatest teachers
this country has ever known. He was Head of Fine Art at the
Art Colleges of Sunderland (1950-55), Leeds (1955-64) and
Lancaster (1966-68).
As a painter, sculptor and collagist he is less well known
and perhaps his own work as an artist was obscured by
his commitment to his teaching practice. When Thubron's
involvement with teaching was at its height in the 1950s he
claimed international attention for his pioneering
cross-disciplinary work, his experimental courses and his
close association with the ‘Basic Design Course’, it was
difficult for his own work as an artist to take precedence
over the range of his professional activities.
There have been exhibitions that have afforded glimpses of
Thubron's work but the only survey undertaken was at the
Serpentine in 1976 where 70 of his collages and assemblages
were exhibited. The last one person show was held, shortly after
Thubron died, at Goldsmiths' College in 1986, where he had
taught between 1971 and 1982.
Although interested in Kurt Schwitters and Antoni Tàpies, it was
the work of Paul Klee that Thubron most admired: “no right or
wrong techniques or styles, the willingness to let things grow,
without prejudice, and the principle that what is used and
done should continue to live in the thing made”.
Just as Thubron encouraged his students to experiment in a
constructive manner, “to exercise their intuition, to explore their
own sensibilities”, he described his own works as the result of
“emotive and imaginative experiences.” His art served as a
means of self-development and self-discovery.
Harry Thubron’s work is represented in the collections, among
others, of the British Council, the Contemporary Art Society, the
Fundacio Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon), in the Government
Art Collection, the Henry Moore Institute (Leeds) and the Tate
Collection (London).

William Gear RA RBSA (1915-1997)
Scottish artist William Gear was born in Methil, Fife, and attended Edinburgh
College of Art. In 1937 he studied briefly under Fernand Léger in Paris. After the war
Gear worked in Germany, mounting exhibitions for the Allies. From 1948 to 1950 he
lived in Paris, where he became affiliated to the COBRA movement. The COBRA
artists (the initials stand for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam, the home
cities of many of the group’s members), advocated a gestural, near abstract style
of painting, influenced by primitivism and the art of children.
In 1950 he returned to England, where he painted his best-known work, ‘Autumn
Landscape’, recipient of the Festival of Britain Purchase Prize. The painting’s
dynamic, abstract forms created a controversy which established him as a
well-known artist in the following years.
In 1958, Gear was appointed curator of Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne. However,
the local community was resistant to the Modernist art championed by Gear,
and every purchase had to overcome fierce opposition. He later said of this time
that “I won the battle, I was a casualty if you like, but I won the battle”. In 1960, two
paintings by Gear were included in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition - the
first abstract works ever to be shown at the Academy, and which were met with
much derision in the press. At the 1962 Summer Exhibition, his submissions were
rejected by the RA Hanging Committee, prompting the sculptor FE McWilliam to
resign in protest.

In 1964, he was appointed head of the Department of Fine Art at the Birmingham
College of Art, remaining there until his retirement in 1975. He also served as
chairman of the fine art committee of the Council for National Academic Awards.
In 1995, he was elected to the Royal Academy and continued painting throughout
the later years of his life.

§ William Gear RA RBSA (1915-1997)
‘Untitled 1948’
signed and dated lower right,
ink on paper,
44cm x 61cm
Provenance: From the family of the artist
This drawing reflects Gear’s interest in
Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, whose
technique of ‘taking a line for a walk’
is well illustrated here with offshoots
terminated in arrows and X’s. The shading
gives a shallow, three-dimensional effect
and the low horizon suggests an opaque
object on a sea shore.
Gear visited the artist Wilhelmina Barns-
Graham in St. Ives in 1948 resulting in a
series of loosely abstracted boat and
harbour related works.

§ Avigdor Arikha

Standing nude study
1971,

oil on board,
55cm x 22cm
£1,000 - £2,000
Avigdor Arikha was born in Romania in 1929 and moved to
Palestine in 1944. He studied art at the Bezalel Academy in
Jerusalem and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
A highly skilled draftsman, Arikha first gained recognition in
the 1950s for his illustrations. After producing abstract paintings
from 1957 to 1965, he broke with abstraction in the mid-1960s to
devote himself entirely to working from life. In doing so, Arikha
became part of a growing trend among Israeli artists to develop
more individual styles in reaction to the dominant mode of lyrical
abstraction. Intent on being truthful to the subject, Arikha works
only from direct observation and completes each piece in a
single session. Underlying his work is an intense spirituality
conveying the intimacy and truth found in fleeting moments of
experience. Here the artist depicts himself with mouth open, as
if caught in mid-sentence. His dynamic rendering of modest
subjects evokes a deep awareness of beauty in everyday
surroundings. A prominent artist of his generation, Arikha considers
himself a post-abstract figurative painter.

Michelangelo Pistoletto (Italian, b. 1933)
A leading figure in the development of Arte Povera and Conceptualism,
Michelangelo Pistoletto is best known for his “mirror paintings,” which he first made
with grounds of metallic paint on canvas before rejecting canvas altogether, in
favor of screen-printing on polished steel. The beguiling results overlay figurative
elements on flat, reflective surfaces. This implicates viewers, who look back at
themselves while looking at the art. Conceptual themes of representation and
interactivity prevail throughout Pistoletto’s oeuvre, also figuring into his early
sculptural projects such as his “minus objects,” which explore how everyday items
might become art.
Pistoletto has participated in many editions of Documenta and the Venice Biennale.
In 2003, he won the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. His work has sold for seven
figures at auction and belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the
Tate, the Centre Pompidou, the Museo Reina Sofía, and the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, D.C.

Jo Brocklehurst (1935-2006)
Jo Brocklehurst is remembered primarily for capturing the vibrancy of late 20th
century subcultures in London, Berlin and New York.
Her figurative paintings from fetish clubs record experiments with sex, androgyny
and couture that inspired the mainstream fashion collections of Jean Paul Gaultier;
while her best-known portraits from the 1980s offer a raw, beautiful and female
perspective on punk.
Jo wheeled a shopping trolley full of pastels, UV paint and rolls of paper into
clubnights like London’s Blitz in the 1970s and the Skin Two Rubber Ball in the 90s.
She would set up her drawing board in dim corners and create A1-size portraits
of the most flamboyant club goers – always working at furious speed.
Brocklehurst’s works capture the animated, avant-garde style and the ‘edge’ of
her subjects, with comparison to Egon Schiele’s expressive portraits.

Uri Geller (b. 1946)
Uri Geller is one of the world’s most investigated and celebrated mystifiers.
Famous around the globe for his mind (and spoon) bending abilities, he has led a
unique life shrouded in debate, controversy and mystery.
Geller worked with and was mentored by Salvador Dalí for two years in the early
1970s, a period that significantly influenced Geller’s own artistic path, shifting him
from a conscious approach to one of more intuitive and surrealist concepts.
During their time together, Dalí gifted Geller a crystal he claimed was from Leonardo
da Vinci, which Geller later used as the hood ornament for his famous Cadillac
covered in bent spoons. Geller also claims he was influenced by other renowned
artists, including Pablo Picasso, Peter Max, and Andy Warhol.

Julian Stair OBE (b. 1955)
Julian Stair is one of the UK’s leading ceramic artists, creating works of art on both
a monumental and intimate scale. Stair has become a leading historian of English
Studio Ceramics, completing a PhD at the Royal College of Art, researching the
critical origins of English Studio Pottery.
After completing a degree in ceramics at Camberwell School of Art in 1978, Stair
continued his studies at the Royal College of Art, London, graduating in 1981. Lady
Sainsbury began to collect his work from this period, inviting Stair to the Sainsburys’
home in Smith Square, London, where he encountered their outstanding personal
collection of art, including Tang figures, paintings by Francis Bacon and works by
Hans Coper and Lucie Rie. The Sainsburys went on to help finance the set-up of his
first studio in Brixton, London, with fellow ceramicist Sara Radstone, and continued to
support his work.

Pierre Jeanneret (Swiss, 1896-1967)
Swiss-born architect and furniture designer Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) worked for most of his life alongside his cousin
Le Corbusier. In 1926 they published their manifesto “Five Points Towards a New Architecture” which served as the backbone
for their architectural aesthetic. The Villa Savoye (1928-1931) serves as a representation for their outlined ideology. An elegant
building predominantly made out of glass with an almost undivided interior and columns, which made it look as if it was
floating above the ground.
In 1929 at the Paris Salon d’Automne, Jeanneret unveiled a set of modern furniture designed in collaboration with Le Corbusier
and Charlotte Perriand. Included were tubular steel chairs, stools and a set of modular steel storage units.
Jeanneret’s contribution to the partnership was considerable, not least in introducing professionalism in following through
projects and work on site - he often stimulated and provoked his cousin’s imagination or moderated it with his own realism.
He frequently drew the first sketches for plans that he then gradually reworked and refined with Le Corbusier, playing an
important part in ensuring the office’s continuity, coordinating work and maintaining tight control over all the technical aspects.
In the early fifties Le Corbusier and Jeanneret set out for an urban planning project in Chandigarh, India, designing and
producing low cost buildings for the community. Le Corbusier left the project mid-way and Jeanneret became the Chief
Architect and Urban Planning Designer. He stayed in Chandigarh for fifteen years and the city evolved into a landmark of
modern architecture.

worked closely with Le Corbusier on the latter’s projects in

the Villa Sarabhai, Villa Shodhan, Mill Owners’ Association
Building, and Sanskar Kendra. Corbusier is described as having
been a major influence on Doshi’s later work. It is therefore
likely that Pierre Jeanneret produced the design for these

originally designed in 1958, manufactured circa 2007,
all over upholstered in vibrant green, above a four point
base, 104cm high x 86cm wide x 72cm deep
Between 1956 and 1961 Arne Jacobsen designed and
built the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, a modernist
block clearly inspired by Lever House in New York,
and considered to be his major architectural work.
Jacobsen also designed much of the furniture, cutlery,
lighting and other fixtures and fittings, including these
chairs. All these designs show the designer’s mastery
of double curvature that lend many of them a bulbous
or organic form in contrast to the linearity of the hotel’s
architecture. The Egg chair was designed for the lobby
and reception area, and the high back was conceived
to give the sitter a degree of privacy in these public
spaces. Grouped together, the chairs created their
own space in a big room. The Egg chair became
synonymous with mid-century Danish design and is still
in production today.

manufactured by H.F. Belysning, copper finish, the upper bowl
serving as the light shade, the lower bowl to be used as a
planter, each bowl 45cm diameter, retaining the original
cardboard box
Poul Cadovius was one of the most colourful and successful
figures in the history of Danish furniture industry. He was
originally educated as an upholsterer but became very
interested in design at an early stage, and in 1945 he
established his own furniture manufacturing company Royal
System. A few years later, in 1948, he designed the iconic
shelving system ‘Royal System’, followed by the award-winning
‘System Ultra’ in 1957 and ‘System Cado’ in 1960. All three
systems were based on a groundbreaking wall-mounted
shelving concept, where the idea was to move the furniture off
the floor onto the walls, leaving more space in the room.
