Leonard Baskin,  American 1922–2000 -  Thistle (In memory of Louis Black), 1959;  bronze relief, H21.5 x W44.5 x D0.3 cm  Provenance:  The Collection of Mary and Alan Hobart, Founders of Pyms Gallery, London  Literature:  Irma B. Jaffe, 'The Sculpture of Leonard Baskin', The Viking Press, New York, 1980, p.212, illus. p.161  Note:  other editions of this bronze are held by Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton. Louis Black was a friend and collector of books, prints and drawings, usually relating to the human figure and natural environment. Jaffe suggested the subject of this work is derived from the engravings of Durer.  Baskins works is highly indicative of the Post-War period, sharing an intensity of vision with figures such as Elisabeth Frink, Germaine Richier and Alberto Giacometti. Like Frink, Baskin focused almost entirely on the male figure, seeking a visual language that spoke to an everyday experience of life and death, demonstrated most fully in his ‘Dead Man’ series, first started in the 1950s. Baskin retained a defiantly figurative language throughout his sculpture and works on paper, continuing the legacy of Käthe Kollwitz in his choice to work across mediums in an attempt to engage with an audience outside of the artistic elite. Works by the artist are in major museum across the USA, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, MoMA, New York and the Detroit Institute of Arts. In the UK works are held by the British Museum, the V&A and the Tate.

CELINE LOUIS-FERDINAND: (1894-1961) French novelist. A.L.S., with his initials LFC, three pages, folio, Copenhagen, 31st August (1947), to [Dr. Alexandre Gentil] (´Mon cher vieux´), in French. Celine, whilst exiled in Denmark, writes on a variety of subjects and attempts to arrange a meeting in Paris between his correspondent and his lawyer, Thorvald Mikkelsen, stating, in part, ´Ypéricon C’est le nom scientifique et danois, et allemand et anglais. Qu’est-il en français ? [le nom français de la plante est le Millepertuis (Hypericum perforatum)] Pressée fraîche [et] jaune cette fleur rend un sucre violet. Les danois en font grand usage [Céline rajoute en marge supérieure ´inutile de te dire que je n’y ai jamais gouté !], la font macérer dans l’alcool à 90° et s’enivrent de ce breuvage [qui] prend alors la couleur rose foncée [sic]. Veux-tu reconnaître cette fleur et ce breuvage? Me dire en quelles régions telle fleur se trouve en France, en quelles régions on se saoul chez nous de la même essence? Mon amour propre patriotique est en jeu… cette fleur cette plante pousse dans les bois et paraît fleurir pendant tout l’été. Mikkelsen compte être à Paris début d’octobre. Je te dirai quel hôtel. La récolte des pommes va durer tout le mois de septembre. Il compte en récolter pour 140.000 couronnes. Soit environ pour 6 millions de francs.C’est un gentil denier mais là-dessous environs les deux tiers de frais et d’impôts. Tu vois que je ne parle pas pour ne rien dire. Le miel des abeilles est rentré. Mais là l’exploitation est humble. En vente il fait trop froid ici pour les abeilles. (Oh ne lui dit pas qu’il fait froid dans le nord !). D’ailleurs il ne nous a pas donné un pot de miel (c’est une de ses bigarreries) Un susceptible ! Tu vas bien t’amuser. Vous vous entendrez à merveille !......Il est ici avocat des ambassades d’Angleterre et d’USA. Donc d’un optimisme absolu. Au-dessous = déni de naïveté. Demi roublardise. Mais un admirable cœur – Ce type est savoureux – avare et généreux etc. Tu connais ces contrastes. Un puceau pour nous…Je t’attends avec ta réponse pour abasourdir ces benêts, les confondre, les humilier à mort!´ (Translation: ´Ypericon is the scientific name, Danish, German and English. What is it in French? [The French name for the plant is Millepertuis (Hypericum perforatum)].Squeezed fresh [and] yellow, this flower yields purple sugar. The Danes make great use of it [Céline adds in the upper margin ‘needless to say, I've never tasted it!’], macerating it in 90° alcohol and getting drunk on this beverage [which] then takes on a dark pink colour. Do you recognise this flower and this beverage? Can you tell me where in France you'll find such a flower, and where in France you'll get drunk on the same spirit? My patriotic self-esteem is at stake... this flower this plant grows in the woods and seems to bloom all summer long. Mikkelsen plans to be in Paris at the beginning of October. I'll tell you which hotel. The apple harvest will last throughout September. He expects to harvest 140,000 kroner. That's about 6 million francs. That's a nice penny, but about two thirds of that is expenses and tax. You can see that I'm not just talking. The honey from the bees has returned. But this is a humble operation. On sale, it's too cold here for the bees. (Oh don't tell him it's cold up north!). Besides, he didn't give us a jar of honey (it's one of his bigarreries) A susceptible one! You're going to have a great time. You'll get on famously!.....Here he's a lawyer for the British and American embassies. So he's absolutely optimistic. Underneath = denial of naivety. Half cunning. But an admirable heart - This guy is tasty - miserly and generous etc. You know these contrasts. A virgin for us.....I'm waiting for your reply to stun these fools, confuse them and humiliate them to death!´) Celine also signs (´Lucette´) at the conclusion on behalf of his wife, the French dancer Lucette Destouches (1912-2019). Accompanied by a typed document confirming brief biographical details for Celine (named as Louis Ferdinand Destouches) issued for the purposes of receiving a military pension. Some light age wear to the letter and the dosument with some minor tears and neat splits at the edges FR to VG, 2
