 Francis Picabia (Paris, France, 1879 - 1953)"Female nude"Charcoal drawing on paper. Signed.29,5 x 22,5 cm.The paper is quite darkened by sunlight. The white margin shown in the last picture shows the original colour of the paper.  Francis Picabia was a French avant-garde artist of Spanish origin who stood out, as noted by the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in its artist profile, "for his free spirit and great versatility in changing styles according to his own impulses." Thus, throughout his nomadic artistic career spanning France, Spain, the United States, and Switzerland, he engaged with and left an impact on multiple contemporary styles such as Impressionism, Orphism, Surrealism, and the Dada movement. He had connections with figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp, André Breton, and Marcel Duchamp, with whom he formed a close friendship.His versatility is not limited exclusively to styles: he experimented with various techniques, including figurative painting, drawing, and collage. His art is characterized by shifts in themes, yet it consistently remains within the realm of "the imaginary and symbolic," as stated by the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona). Furthermore, his artistic exploration extended beyond painting into other disciplines, such as set design—for instance, his work on René Clair's film Entr'acte —and literature, where he collaborated with several magazines and founded others, like the magazine 391 in Barcelona.The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía has numerous paintings by the artist in its collection. Countless exhibitions of his work have been held in museums worldwide, as can be seen on his official website (https://www.picabia.com/ ). Reference bibliography:- Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza.

oil on canvas, signed, titled label verso framed and under glass image size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 70cm x 80cm Label verso: Thompson's, London Note: Robert Kelsey was born in Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art (1966-1970) under David Donaldson, Alexander Goudie and James D. Robertson. Kelsey has earned a formidable reputation as one of Scotland's finest and most sought after contemporary artists. His numerous one man shows in London in particular enjoy huge success and his sell out exhibition at Thompson's Gallery (London) in 2004 was reported on BBC's "Breakfast" as "one of the biggest contemporary art exhibitions in London in recent years". The prestigious Thompson's Gallery described the event as "the most successful solo exhibition we have ever had". Robert has been a regular exhibitor for many years at The Royal Glasgow Institute, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Paisley Art Institute, The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy. He has enjoyed success in New York , Budapest and Chicago and is widely exhibited throughout the UK. He has featured in many magazines including "Homes & Interiors" and "Scotland Magazine" and BBC News 24 has reported his achievements. The book "Robert Kelsey-the artist" was published in 2004. His style is distinctly "Contemporary Scottish Colourist" and although his work reveals his GSA training the strongest influences remain Peploe and Cadell. Robert writes : "I love the loneliness and serenity to be found at certain locations such as the beaches of the Outer Hebrides. I say "loneliness", which sounds like a bad thing, better to describe it as being at peace in serene places, where you can be alone with your thoughts, listen to the sea birds and the trickle of water". Robert's home and studio are in Paisley but his commercial success has allowed him to travel the world in search of the light and colour that are such strong features within his work. This broadening of horizons has been reflected in his "gallery prices" as his career and reputation continues to flourish.

SCOTTISH GUILD OF HANDICRAFT, SET OF FOUR STENCILLED CANVAS FRIEZE PANELS, CIRCA 1905 each printed with Glasgow rose and foliate designs, on frame mountNote: The fabric used in these panels was originally part of the interior decoration for The Arcadia restaurant and tea rooms in Glasgow. The decoration was executed by the Scottish Guild of Handicraft circa 1905, whose members included John Ednie, Henry T. Wyse and a certain Charles Rennie Mackintosh.They were purchased by the current owner around a decade ago from someone who acquired them when the property was being redeveloped in the 1950s.The Arcadia is featured in The Studio - early 20th century art journal.As per page 46 of The Glasgow Style 1890-1920 (pub. Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries), '...The Guild was a Labour Co-Partnership Association and was registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act in 1903. Members held shares in the Guild, and were controlled by a committee which maintained standards by vetting their craftsmanship. The mutually supportive nature of the Guild is illustrated by the short lived Arcadian Gallery project. A J H Moffat, secretary of the Guild, was a designer and publisher's Art agent at 132 St Vincent Street. Here in 1907 Moffat and Clarke established The Arcadian Gallery, which combined a vegetarian restaurant with continuous exhibitions of contemporary art. The alterations and interior designs were by Henry T Wyse and the menu card by Jessie M King, both Guld members. This patronage was further demonstrated by Wyse who used stained glass made by John C Hall and was himself employed by the archistect Charles Soutar, both of whom were members.' 40cm high, 137cm wide Qty: 4 Overall, this lot is in good condition but shows some signs of age. The additonal images show some signs of use or storage, and the overall colour of the exterior shows age. There is some degradation to the edges, as some tacks have began to rust. The design looks strong and there no large tears or losses.

SIR CECIL WALTER HARDY BEATON C.B.E. (BRITISH 1904-1980) COSTUME STUDIES Watercolour, ink and wash on buff paper 37cm x 30cm (14.6in x 11.75in) From the Estate of Dorothy Bohm Dorothy Bohm was a British photographer based in London, known for her portraiture, street photography, early adoption of colour, and photography of London and Paris.

JEAN HIPPOLYTE MARCHAND (FRENCH 1883-1940) PAYSAGE DE PARIS Signed lower right, inscribed with artist's name and title to stretcher verso, oil on canvas 53cm x 45cm (21in x 17.75in) From the Estate of Dorothy Bohm Parisian suburban life is evoked in this verdant oil by Jean Hippolyte Marchand. A walker, an agricultural worker and a figure on horseback are painted with post-Impressionist brevity, their white headdresses suggesting we may be glimpsing the cloistered world of a religious order. The trees’ spindly boughs appear to bend in the breeze, their canopies ripening to an autumnal gold. Marchand imbibed the tonal vivacity and stylised naivete of French modernism. Often described as a cubist, it was in fact only his early work that explicitly channelled cubism’s crystalline delineation, and from the mid-1910s his forms assumed a gentler organic quality while retaining an avant-garde sensibility. Marchand attained the distinction of inclusion in Roger Fry’s 1910 Manet and Post Impressionism exhibition at London’s Grafton Galleries. He became acquainted with Clive Bell and henceforth folded into the Bloomsbury circle. A number of his works were acquired by the important collector Samuel Courtauld. Dorothy Bohm was a British photographer based in London, known for her portraiture, street photography, early adoption of colour, and photography of London and Paris.

PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH 1887-1979) WINDOW SILL STILL LIFE Signed lower right, pastel on buff paper 54cm x 73cm (21.25in x 28.75in) From the Estate of Dorothy Bohm Paul Maze has been referred to as ‘the last Post-Impressionist’. Maze’s father was a wealthy tea merchant, and the Normandy-based family acquired many Impressionist artworks, and were friends with Monet, Renoir and Pissarro. Maze was encouraged to use pastels by Edouard Vuillard, who said they were best-suited to Maze’s artistic vision. Dorothy Bohm was a British photographer based in London, known for her portraiture, street photography, early adoption of colour, and photography of London and Paris.
