‘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.

‘Portrait of Edward Wolfe’ by Nina Hamnett (1890-1956), 1918

1 ‘Edward Wolfe: An Original English Painter’, Anthony Blunt, The Spectator, 25th November 1932

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.

26


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.

£2,000 - £3,000

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

(Romanian/French/Israeli, 1929-2010)

Standing nude study

1971,

signed and dated upper left,

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.

Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi an Anant Raje. The chairs and are

photographed in use by students on the inaugural day of the

post-graduate program (PGP) in 1964. B.V. Doshi had previously

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

Paris between 1951 and 1954. In 1954, he returned to India to

supervise Corbusier’s buildings in Ahmedabad, which included

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

chairs, worked together with Doshi and/or Le Corbusier, or that

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.

planter,

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.
