Paul and his wife Margaret moved to nearby Dymchurch in 1921, the same year as this drawing. Nash's mental health was severely impacted by his wartime experience and this was a period characterised by inner turmoil and subsequent recuperation. Study in Pale Tones, the Pond at Oxenbridge is a break from the desolation of Nash's wartime works and a move towards the romantic depictions of the English landscape that characterised his work between in the decade that followed. Oxenbridge Farm in Iden was owned by close friends of the Nashes, Bertram and Kitty Buchanan. Bertram had also served as a war artist and they were frequent visitors to the farm which became a recurrent subject of many of Nash's 1920s works , including Fig. 1, Oxenbridge Pond, 1927-28 (Birmingham City Museums & Art Gallery). From Dymchurch, the Nashes moved to Oxenbridge Cottage in 1925, staying there until they left for Rye in 1930.

Cooper, The Work of Graham Sutherland, London, 1961, no.40b (illustrated as Burnt-out Paper Rolls) Herbert Spencer (1924-2002) was one of the most influential British graphic designers of the 20th Century. In 1949 he founded, wrote and designed the ground-breaking journal Typographica. It focused on typographical design and its applications in the real world. It was the first journal to really explore how typography can contribute to and even shape popular culture as opposed to merely its practical applications and it introduced a new generation of printers and designers to the history of modernist design in Europe. As a designer one of his first clients was the Institute of Contemporary Arts where he met Eric Gregory, the Chairman of Lund Humphries. They would subsequently go on to publish Typographica and Douglas Cooper's The Work of Graham Sutherland in 1961 which Spencer designed. It was during this project that he met and became friends with Graham Sutherland. Condition Report: The sheet is stuck down with glue at the two lower corners. Old glue residue visible to the upper two corners where the sheet was once stuck down.

Provenance: the Estate of Guenther Dietz (German, 1919-1995), who printed the edition. Comment(s): Although this work is often catalogued as a lithograph, or silkscreen, or pochoir, or photo-lithograph, in reality it is none of these. By 1964 Guenther Dietz, the printer, had created a unique fine printing system which involved the use of both lithographic plates and serigraphic screens. He and master printers from his company (Guenther Dietz Offizin Handpresse GmbH, Munich & Lengmoos, Germany) printed this work under the direct supervision and participation of Picasso himself. Dietz used grease crayon, lithographic tusche, lead pencil, and charcoal, among others, to create the matrixes and receive Picasso’s approval to print the edition (Cramer, ‘Livres’ 148). The plates and screens were destroyed after printing. Published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [30021-2-1600-NA]
Artist: James Ensor. Title: "Têtes Grotesques". Medium: Watercolor, wax crayon, and pencil drawing on paper. Date: Composed 1923-1924. Dimensions: Overall size: 12 x 9 1/2 in. (305 x 241 mm). Image size: 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. (216 x 165 mm).Pricing: Starting Price: $16,000 Reserve Price: N.A. Auction Sale Price Estimate: $25,000/30,000Lot Note(s): Signed lower center. Painted on cream laid paper. Good condition; a small paper loss lower left and upper left corners; very minor edge tears left margin; the work is affixed to a gray-blue wove paper backing sheet which is in very good shape save some modest edge fading and minor creasing. Comment(s): Our example of the ‘Grotesque Heads’ is clearly in the tradition of Ensor’s “Self-Portrait with Masks” (1899) and “The Seven Deadly Sins,” the 1904 portfolio of etchings, among other works. Quite possibly a study for a later, more finished work. Ensor was a painter and printmaker who was an early and important influence on expressionism and surrealism.

Henry Moore OM, CH, RBA, RBS (1898-1986) “Head” (1957/58) Signed, black crayon, 39cm by 30cmProvenance: Given to Mervyn Levy by the artist following the publication of his book "Drawing and Sculpture" in 1970 according to inscription verso Clark Art, CheshireHenry Moore is perhaps the most celebrated sculptor of the 20th century, and his monumental semi-abstract sculptures had a profound effect on the course of British Art. Achieving global recognition in his lifetime, Moore’s distinctive brand of modernism caused a British sculptural Renaissance.Moore was born in Castleford, a small mining town in West Yorkshire, in 1898. After initially training as a teacher, he served in the Army during the First World War. However, after being injured he was awarded a rehabilitation grant that afforded him the opportunity to study at Leeds School of Art before going on to the Royal College of Art in London.Whilst studying in London Moore became absorbed with so called ‘Primitive Art’ in the British Museum. Shying away from the Classical ideal, which was all-pervasive in Western Art, he instead drew inspiration from the imagery of the ancient world, and from African and Oceanic cultures which idolised the female/maternal figure.Moore began sculpting simple, powerful forms redolent of ancient objects, with a distinct focus on female figures and family groups. Close study of the natural world led Moore to create his abstracted figures, at once both alien and familiar, using organic shapes taken from a line of hills, a massive rock formation, or a sea-smoothed pebble on a beach. The abstraction of organic forms developed in parallel in the work of Barbara Hepworth, whom Moore had known since their days at Leeds School of Art.Having come under the influence of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the 1930s, his work had taken on a darker edge with a greater degree of abstraction and more distorted forms. This was exacerbated by the outbreak of the Second World War, during which Moore became an official war artist and moved away from his characteristic female and maternal images as his primary focus. Moore created a powerful series of drawings of huddled figures in underground shelters, before returning to his hometown of Castleford to visit the colliery in which his father had worked to depict miners toiling at the coal face. These works were filled with a pathos and pain, which he later expressed in austere pieces such as his Helmet series. After WWII, Moore became very focussed on Helmet Head and Heads. During the 1950's he explored many varations on this subject (see lot 573). Slight time staining to the paper, especially to the outer edges. Slight cockling to the paper and handling creases to the outer edges. Brown thumb mark left of bottom edge by design? Possible pen mark diagonal from the left edge down to the right to the left of the head approximately 5cm. Small brown marks under the signature and below centre of right edge. The odd very tiny sporadic foxing spot in evidence. Some light surface dirt and debris trapped under the glass. Not examined out of the frame.
