Musikalische Automatenbüste einer äthiopischen Lyra-Spielerin von Gustave Vichy, um 1890Mit Pappmaché-Kopf, offenem lächelndem Mund, braunen Glasaugen mit beweglichen Lidern, schwarzer Original-Mohairperücke und einem einzelnen halbmondförmigen Ohrring, auf ebonisiertem Sockel mit Melodienzettel und geprägter Metallplakette: "G. Vichy, Paris, 5 Articles Français, Marque Deposé, Modele Deposé", der Torso mit Federwerkmotor und Walzenspielwerk für 2 Melodien, in goldfarbenem Seidenkostüm mit Metallstickerei, Kopfschmuck und Dekor mit Original-Münzen, Höhe 51 cm einschließlich Kopfschmuck, mit eichelförmigem Stopp/Start-Hebel und modernem Schlüssel, Oberfläche der Vorderseite restauriert, guter funktionierender und spielender Zustand. - Dies ist Teil einer Serie von Vichy-Automaten, die an die polychrom bemalten Bronzebüsten französischer Künstler wie Émile Guillemin und Charles Cordier erinnern. Der Eindruck einer bewegenden Skulptur wird durch die anmutige Modellierung des Gesichts und der Hände sowie durch den schlanken Sockel in Anlehnung an die Bronzebüsten noch verstärkt. Von der Wahl des Themas über den Stil des Kostüms bis hin zum Instrument, das sie spielt, wurde der Automat von der Faszination des 19. Jahrhunderts für Exotik beeinflußt, die afrikanische Kulturen aus der europäischen Perspektive darstellte. - Die Musikerin dreht und neigt ihren Kopf sanft nach links und rechts, blinzelt und scheint das Instrument mit einer Zupfbewegung des rechten Arms zu spielen. - Dieses Exemplar wurde von David Secrett und Margaret Glover liebevoll restauriert. - Literatur: Q. David Bowers, "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments", S. 80, für ein identisches Stück, einen von mehreren französischen Automaten im Katalog des Händlers Gustav Uhlig aus Halle, Sachsen. Watch and Listen on:Youtube.com/AuctionTeamBreker Start Price: EUR 4400 Zustand: (2/2)Musical Automaton Bust of an Ethiopian Lyre-Player by Gustave Vichy, c. 1890With papier-mâché head, open smiling mouth, brown glass eyes with articulated lids, original black mohair wig and a single crescent earring, on ebonized plinth with tune-sheet and metal plaque stamped: "G. Vichy, Paris, 5 Articles Français, Marque Deposé, Modele Deposé", the torso containing going-barrel motor and two-air cylinder movement, in gold silk costume with metallic embroidery, headdress and the original coin decoration, ht. 20 in. (51 cm) including headdress, with acorn-form stop / start and modern key, surface of face restored, good working and playing condition. - Note: Part of a series of Vichy automata reminiscent of the polychrome-painted bronze busts by French artists such as Émile Guillemin and Charles Cordier. The impression of an animated sculpture is heightened by the graceful modelling of the face and hands and the slender plinth base in imitation of its bronze counterparts. From the choice of subject, to the style of costume and the instrument she plays, the automaton was influenced by a 19th century fascination with 'exoticism' that reflected African cultures through a European lens. - The musician turns and gently bows her head to the left and right, blinks and appears to play the instrument with a lifting and plucking motion of the right arm. - This example has been sympathetically restored by David Secrett and Margaret Glover. - Literature: Q. David Bowers, Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments, p. 80, for an identical piece, one of several French automata in the catalog of retailer Gustav Uhlig of Halle, Saxony.

• BERNARD MYERS (BRITISH 1925-2007) Bernard Myers (lots 139-158)Work and travel in the Middle East and India introduced me to a world of colour. Under the influence of Islamic tiles and textiles, and Indian and Tibetan painting I set out to teach myself colour. My work at this time was mainly abstract and loosely based on astronomical and optical diagrams. Gradually I turned to realism via still life, working very precisely... (Bernard Myers) IntroductionTrained as a gunner in the RAF during the Second World War, Bernard Myers studied at St Martin’s School of Art, Camberwell and the Royal College of Art. Fellow students included John Bratby and Jack Smith, Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff. After graduating ARCA in 1954, Myers taught, variously at Camberwell, Hammersmith and Ealing art schools, and was senior lecturer in drawing at the Architectural Association School. He returned to the RCA to teach for the following two decades, punctuated in 1968 and 1971 by stints as Visiting Professor at the Indian Institute of technology, New Delhi. His final teaching post was as Chair of Design Technology at Brunel University (1979-85). Students at the RCA treasured Myers’ good advice. James Dyson remembered him as ‘cheerful, irrepressible [and] rather dapper… with a tweed suit and bowtie…’ But as well as being upbeat Myers was also appreciated for his considerable range of mind and intellect. On being made a Fellow, in his welcome speech the Dean noted that Myers ‘…must without doubt be the most versatile graduate ever to emerge from the Painting School. Since joining the College in 1961 he has been, by virtue of an encyclopaedic knowledge which comfortably bestrides the boundaries between the humane and the technological, and of his superlative gifts as a teacher, in demand by virtually every School and Department within the College…’ The plus side for Myers was that teaching left him free to practise his own art exactly as he wished. As he noted: ‘Some artists find that teaching interferes with their work. I find it clarifies my work.’ Indeed, he had an unstoppable compulsion to paint, incessantly exploring a wide range of subject matter, in particular the landscapes he encountered on his varied travels (lots 151-156), the still-lifes he worked on in his studio (lots 143-150), the nudes he painted in weekly life-classes, and his not infrequent forays into abstraction, precipitated in part by his fascination with space (lots 139-142). He married Pamela Fildes, grand-daughter of the painter Sir Luke Fildes in the early 1950s; they lived first in Windsor and then in Kensington before moving in 1974 into one of the studios overlooking the Thames at St Peter’s Wharf, purpose built by Julian Trevelyan, next to Hammersmith Terrace (lots 157 &158). He had several one-man shows in the West End, the first at the New Art Centre in 1969; his last with Austin Desmond Fine Art in 1991. He wrote two books on Goya, others on the history of sculpture and How to Look at Art, and co-edited The Macmillan Encyclopedia of Art (1979). He also penned articles for The Artist (May 1988) on his highly original approach to pastel (lots 139-142 & 147-150), and Artists and Illustrators (1995) on his Venice views (lots 151- 154).139BERNARD MYERS (BRITISH 1925-2007)PLANETARY COMPOSITIONS I & IIoil pastel on thin paper(i) 56 x 43cm; 22 x 17in (ii) 43 x 56cm; 17 x 22in (both unframed)(2)

Three photographs of the Great Eastern, 1857 albumen prints, mounted, comprising:Starboard elevation from mid-Thames, 17 November 1857, 21.5 x 33cm, mount aperture 20.8 x 26.8, extensive loss to left edge (mostly concealed by mount) [V&A; PH.248-1979];Bow-on view, c.1857, 24.8 x 29cm, mount aperture 23.8 x 25cm, loss to left edge (mostly concealed by mount) [V&A; PH.250-1979];Workers (man and boy) beneath the paddle-wheel, 27.5 x 35.5cm, loss to left edge [V&A; PH.257-1979](3) Robert Howlett’s iconic images of the construction of the Great Eastern are remembered as ‘some of the most significant photographs of the 19th century’ (Hannavy, Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, 2008, vol. 1, pp. 717-18). The Great Eastern was by far the largest ship ever built at the time, and remained so when she was scrapped in 1888. Though an unprecedented marvel of engineering, the project was a financial disaster. Brunel died a few days after her departure on its maiden voyage in 1859. Howlett himself had died the previous year, his colleagues believing that his untimely death had been brought about by the chemicals used in his photographic work; his Great Eastern series is today regarded as ‘epitomizing the spirit of Victorian engineering and endeavour’ (ODNB).
