SAMUEL JOHN PEPLOE R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1871-1935)PERTHSHIRE LANDSCAPE Signed, oil on canvas41cm x 46cm (16in x 18in)Provenance:Alex. Reid & Lefevre Ltd, London Note: Despite initial doubts, Scottish Colourist Samuel John Peploe, discovered much to paint and inspire in Perthshire, becoming particularly enamoured with the pictorial possibilities of the charming winding road paths dotted with trees.In Perthshire Landscape, Peploe's admiration for Cezanne shines through. The road curves round, drawing our attention deeper into the landscape beyond the picture plane, while the flanking row of trees allows Peploe to explore the patterning of light and shade created by the branches, and the marked contrast between the dense, solid tree trunks and the softly moving branches and leaves. As we peer through the gaps in the trees, to the layered landscape beyond, we are aware of the remarkable sense of depth and volume that Peploe has skilfully generated.At this point in his career, Peploe was working in a more expressive way, and his broader, freer brushstrokes add a vivacity to the calm scene. We can imagine ourselves enjoying the beauty of a hot summer's day in Scotland, as we observe the heat and light so beautifully and artistically captured by a Scottish Colourist playing to his strengths.

λWalter Steggles (British 1908-1997) Church Street, Bathford Oil on board Signed lower left, titled verso 26 x 30.5cm (10 x 12 in.) Provenance: The family of the artist Walter Steggles was born in Highbury in London in 1908. His family had no immediate artistic connections and yet Walter and his younger brother Harold both became members of what was later known as the East London Group. Between the wars, this Bow-based group of artists were widely exhibited and appreciated, most notably with the Lefevre Gallery, who ran a series of shows between 1929 and 36. Steggles’s work was shown alongside such eminent British artists as Duncan Grant, Mark Gertler, Vanessa Bell, Ivon Hitchens, Christopher Wood and Stanley Spencer as well as international icons such as Cezanne, Degas, Vuillard and Renoir. Wally, as he was known, continued to paint until his death in 1997, the East London Group and all but forgotten addendum to the inter-war years. However, his catalogue of works reveals an artist and a movement that merits closer attention. Walter’s landscape works from this early period are hauntingly emotive and his cityscapes are imbued with the stylistic simplicity so defining of this period of English art history. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.

* TERENCE CLARKE, LANDSCAPE WITH TREES AND RED ROOFED COTTAGES oil on canvas, signed 38 cm x 48 cm Framed and under glass Note: Terence Clarke was born in 1953 and studied Fine Art at Lancaster Polytechnic from 1971 - 75, going on to complete a Masters Degree at The Royal College of Art from 1976 - 79. Terence began exhibiting his paintings directly on leaving College with various galleries in London. Terence's work is characterized by strong drawing and the use of bold colour and is highly regarded for its composition. His landscapes and still life's are richly worked with a subtle and expressive use of paint, with influences ranging from Cezanne and Matisse, to the Scottish Colourists. Terence Clarke stands in a tradition of artists who have continued to explore and extend figurative painting as a vehicle for the enjoyment of sheer visual delight. His motifs are simple yet vivid, often filled with an intense light, influenced by his extended periods of work in France. This gives his pieces a Mediterranean feel, making it popular with collectors across Europe and the Americas.

Living in the West end of Glasgow he was a close neighbour of J. D. Fergusson and the two artist's often discussed compositions and individual styles. The influences of Cezanne and Manet played a part in his knowledge and development and after the Second World War, and following in the footsteps of the four Scottish Colourists and Maclauchlan Milne, he made painting trips to the South of France as well as the West and North of Scotland, and at one stage the Semple family resided on the Island of Arran Condition Report: On inspection there are small amounts of staining/discolouration and a few, what appear to be loose particles on the surface, in the upper section in the area of the hills.

Pasmore thanks his correspondent for the draft copy of an article, stating, in part, 'The historical references are more or less correct except for one point about the Euston Road School. The object of the school was not to “reconstruct the alphabet of painting from its beginning”…The Euston School was concerned solely with the visual aspect of things and its aim was to reconstruct, from the beginning… in rational visual terms… Unfortunately the developments of Cezanne and the Cubists cannot be ignored in any new rationale of perspective vision.'

ALEXANDER OSMERKIN (RUSSIAN 1892-1953)Still Life with a Torso of Venus, circa 1951oil on canvas80 x 94 cm (31 1/2 x 37 in.)signed, dated and titled in Cyrillic on verso [initials and date altered in 1975 upon emigration of family from the USSR]PROVENANCEProperty of the Family of Alexander Osmerkin, to the present day.EXPERTISEThe nephew of the artist, son of Rostislav Osmerkin (brother of Alexander Osmerkin), has provided a notarized letter of provenance and identity to be sold with this painting, a copy of which is available upon request. LOT NOTESAleksandr Osmerkin was an avant-garde Russian (Soviet) artist and pedagogue, best known as one of the members of "The Jack of Diamonds" group along Pyotr Konchalovsky, Mikhail Larionov, and Ilya Mashkov. Born in 1892 in present-day Ukraine, Osmerkin first entered the St. Petersburg Art School at the Society of Encouraging Artists at the age of 18 (where one of his classmates was Nicholas Roerich) and then the Kiev Art School, until traveling to Moscow in 1913 to study under Mashkov. The following year, Osmerkin began exhibiting with "The Jack of Diamonds" and made the acquaintances of Osip Mandelstam, Anna Akhmatova, and Sergei Esenin, among others. In 1918-1947 Osmerkin was active mainly as a professor at various art institutions in St. Petersburg and Moscow (such as VKhUTEMAS and the Imperial Academy of Arts), until forced to resign from his position under accusations of formalism.The following still life, made soon after these accusations, is, like many works of "The Jack of Diamonds" artists and Osmerkin in particular, heavily influenced by post-impressionism (especially Cezanne), Fauvism, and Cubism. With its beautifully modeled vases, torso of Venus and smaller Hellenic statuette staged against billowing folds of colorful drapery, Osmerkin - who during these late years of his life became an underground artist - confronts the prevailing ideology of Social Realism in favor of an impressionistic and academic still life. The rapid brushwork, a mainstay feature of Osmerkin`s work, is coupled here with more refined forms typical of his late period.

ALEXANDER OSMERKIN (RUSSIAN 1892-1953)Still Life with a Beer Bottle, 1946oil on canvas65 x 80 cm (25 6/8 x 31 1/2 in.)signed, dated and titled in Cyrillic on verso [initials and date altered in 1975 upon emigration of family from the USSR]PROVENANCEProperty of the Family of Alexander Osmerkin, to the present day.EXPERTISEThe nephew of the artist, son of Rostislav Osmerkin (brother of Alexander Osmerkin), has provided a notarized letter of provenance and identity to be sold with this painting, a copy of which is available upon request. LOT NOTESAleksandr Osmerkin was an avant-garde Soviet artist, best known as one of the members of "The Jack of Diamonds" group along Pyotr Konchalovsky, Mikhail Larionov, and Ilya Mashkov.

In 1918-1947 Osmerkin was active mainly as a professor at various art institutions in St. Petersburg and Moscow (such as VKhUTEMAS and the Imperial Academy of Arts), until forced to resign from his position under accusations of formalism.Osmerkin often referred to Paul Cezanne as a major influence on his work, in addition to the Fauvists and Cubists. Still Life with a Beer Bottle exhibits these influences of Western modern art, but with Osmerkin's own expressive style, bravura brushwork, and Russian character. The table, featuring a vase of blooming roses, is set luxuriously with lobsters, sausages, cheese, a bottle of beer - foodstuffs not easily available to Osmerkin or the general public in 1946 Soviet Russia. In light of Osmerkin`s personal life - who lived through the Revolution, both World Wars, and was devastated by the execution of his friend Osip Mandelstam - this vibrant, textured painting may be seen as a response to the harsh realities of life.

GEORGE LESLIE HUNTER (SCOTTISH 1877-1931) A STILL LIFE OF FRUIT AND FLOWERS WITH PERSIAN CURTAIN Signed, oil on board 68.5cm x 56cm (27in x 22in) Note: Recent scholarship has affirmed the position of the four Scottish Colourists in the development of Modernism in the early 20th century. Works such as this from the high-point of Hunter's career in the mid-1920s represent the unequivocal evidence of their involvement. Academics now agree that the Colourists have been somewhat erroneously written out of the art history of the period, when in fact their presence during and immediately after the fermentation of Modernism, and their understanding of the artistic developments in Paris ongoing, was unrivalled by their English counterparts. Hunter was in Paris as early as 1907 where he became a fervent admirer of Cezanne and a devotee to the principles which underpinned the artist's practice, particularly as regards form and perspective. Further visits in the early 1920s and exposure to the increasing strides Matisse was making - pushing colour to the extreme as both a formal and decorative device - resulted in Hunter assimilating these qualities into his own work. By 1923-26 he had emphatically hit his stride as an artist, creating a style that was progressive and distinctly his own. Thanks to a series of critically and commercially well-received exhibitions in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Paris he was, by this time, a relatively well recognised and celebrated Modernist. Scratch the surface and the high regard in which his work from this period was held is not difficult to glean. There are telling exhibition reviews discussing his "recognised position among the younger generation of artists," and praising his "daring and harmonious" compositions. In a letter to a friend in 1924, Hunter references a particularly notable commendation from the prominent Parisian art dealer Etienne Bignou: "Bignou told McNeill (a collector) he thought Matisse the only man in Paris the equal of Peploe and myself." The recording of history can be both biased and fallible, but the primary evidence clearly indicates that Hunter's status was prominent in certain influential circles of the time. When considering a work like the example offered here for sale, such praise is easy to understand. One of a series of much-celebrated still lifes, it features some of his recurring components; a highly patterned and decorative Persian curtain, a gleaming mahogany table top, an arrangement of roses, and an elegant porcelain fruit dish. It's an ambitious composition, but each element is expertly balanced. Hunter had spent much time developing a sense of line to match his masterful use of colour, and this work demonstrates the summation of those efforts. He succeeds in drawing the viewer's eye across the varying passages of paint, from decorative, textured impasto to broader fields across which the eye smoothly travels. Given what we know about Hunter's struggles with ill physical and mental health, and the disheartening opposition all of the Colourists faced from the staid art institutions of Scotland, paintings like this sing with the confidence of hard-won and well-deserved recognition from the art world's progressive elites.

SAMUEL JOHN PEPLOE, RSA (1871-1935) THE YELLOW TUTU: STUDY OF A SEATED DANCER Signed, charcoal and coloured pastels 56 x 35.5cm. Provenance: A gift from the artist to his sister in law; and thence by descent to her grandson * Peploe's formal training began at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1893 and he continued in Paris at the Academie Julian and the Academie Colarossi in the following year, staying in the city until 1896. The influence of French art upon his work was apparent from these years of study and although Cezanne, Chardin and Courbet are often cited as his major sources of inspiration, the technique and subject matter of Degas is immediately obvious in these two works. Peploe never forsook the French strain in his work and visited France on many occasions, often in the company of his fellow Colourist John Duncan Fergusson. Upon his return to Edinburgh in 1896, Peploe established a studio at Shandwick Place before moving to Devon Place in 1900. He remained there for five years before relocating to occupy Sir Henry Raeburn's former studio at York Place in 1905. These are undoubtedly early works by Peploe and it is possible that they may be dated to 1895-1905. Although he produced sketches in oil, Peploe's surviving works on paper are less common and usually take the form of quick ideas or simple studies. Fully resolved signed pastels are rarer still and it would seem that fewer than half a dozen such examples have surfaced at auction in the last 25 years. Furthermore, the unbroken provenance of these two pastels in the artist's family adds appeal. ++ A few spots of foxing

signed oil on board 33 by 56,5cm (including frame) In this mixed media work the artist evokes a humble corrugated iron shelter and white-washed lean-to with a series of golden-yellow rounded forms, reminiscent of pumpkins ripening on a roof. He has cleverly extended the canvas onto the surrounding striations of the picture frame in order to depict smoke rising from the whitewashed chimney, creating in his own distinct manner an iconic rural Cape scene. Stanley Pinker was an artist and recipient of the Molteno Medal for painting. His contribution to our cultural landscape is immeasurable and he is celebrated as belonging to a continuum of great artists from Cezanne to Matisse He worked at Michaelis School of Fine Art as a lecturer for many years until 1986 when he retired. In 2012, at the age of 87, he passed away after a lifetime in art. ?He was one of the few SA painters who understood and continued to explore the implications of Cubism and painterly, textural surface-materiality with intelligence and wit. Ingenious in his magpie eclecticism, he drew inspiration from the moderns from Cezanne to Braque to Matisse to Klee. Infusing his work with something of the humour of pop art, he focused on subjects and an ironic content particularly reflective of South(ern) Africa?s beautiful landscapes; its society and its ills, creating a unique vision and a leaving us a great artistic legacy. No SA art museum can ever have enough of his work.? Hayden Proud, curator of historical paintings at Iziko SA National Gallery, was taught by Pinker. - Carol Kaufmann
