▲ Peter Lanyon (1918-1964) Composition with horse and boat signed and dated 'Peter Lanyon 49' l.l., traced slate monotype, printed in dark blue, with pencil, pen and ink and gouache 64 x 49.5cm Provenance: Bonhams, Knightsbridge, 'Modern Prints and the St Ives School', 25 May 2010, lot 18; the property of a private collector. Lots 9 and 10 are rare and significant works by Peter Lanyon, showcasing his experimental approach to artistic production. We see this in the inclusion of mixed media within the printing process, as well as additions of pencil, ink and gouache. The imagery of the horse in a landscape can be linked to the large linocuts 'Red Horse, Red Boat', 1951, and 'The Returned Seaman', 1949, as well as the painting 'The Yellow Runner', 1946. In our compositions, the eye is led to the horse - a monumental beast embedded against the dramatic Cornish landscape. The prints are abstract in composition with multiple perspectives of the coastal hillside blurring organic and architectural forms as one. An echo perhaps of the impact of the local mining industry. Condition ReportFramed: 75 x 88cm Time staining with spots of foxing starting to emerge in places. Pinholes to corners with brown staining around. Discolouration to left edge. There is a faint brown area in the upper right quarter with a smaller patch of brown at the top of the right edge, please refer to illustration.

George Leslie Hunter (1877-1931) 'Largo Harbour'signed 'L. Hunter' l.r., oil on canvas board30 x 41cmGeorge Leslie Hunter's 'Largo Harbour' captures the serene beauty of the Fife coast, an area the artist visited regularly following the First World War. Favoured locations like Lower Largo, nearby Drumeldrie, and villages along the East Neuk coast, including Ceres, provided an abundance of inspiration for his landscapes. The light, the shifting hues of the sea, and the unique colours of the limewashed houses with their red pantile roofs were likely key attractions, offering a rich palette for his work. These coastal and rural scenes continued to be a popular subject for Hunter, and indeed, for generations of artists, drawn to the region's charm and varied landscape. While Hunter's Fife paintings enjoyed commercial success, his 1922 and 1923 visits to Italy marked a shift in his approach to light and colour. His time in Italy significantly influenced his palette, and in a letter to fellow artist Matthew Justice in 1923, he noted his disappointment in finding that the light in Fife no longer suited his artistic vision as it once had. Nevertheless, Hunter continued to return to Fife for its rustic beauty, producing coastal and rural scenes until at least 1926. In this work, one can observe the influence of his Italian travels, with the vibrant blues in the depiction of the water reminiscent of the bright Mediterranean hues of his Italian works. The fusion of Scottish coastal inspiration with the refined colour palette honed in Italy reveals a pivotal moment in Hunter's artistic evolution, where his work bridges the Scottish landscape with the warmer tones he encountered abroad.Condition ReportFramed: 42 x 52cmPresents well overall. A little rubbing to the extreme edges. There is a thin vertical line of abrasion 6cm in length to the left edge, lower centre. The texture of the canvas is visible in areas where the paint has been thinly applied and this is believed to be the artist's intention rather than a later issue with condition. Not examined under UV light, for a full report please contact the department.

▲ David Bomberg (1890-1957) View of Ronda signed and dated 'Bomberg 54' l.l., charcoal and pastel 24 x 42cm David Bomberg made several significant trips to Ronda, Spain, profoundly influencing his artistic work. His first visit to Spain was in 1929, where he spent six months in Toledo, drawing inspiration from the high sun and weathered hilltop townscape. Bomberg returned to Spain with his future wife, Lilian Holt, in 1934 and 1935, spending time in Ronda and Asturias. Ronda, perched high in the Andalusian mountains and divided by a dramatic gorge, captivated Bomberg. He described Ronda as 'the most interesting of the towns of Southern Spain'. The town's extraordinary landscape, with its ancient city on a glowing rock, inspired the artist. He explored the area on a donkey, finding vantage points to study and paint the remarkable town. Bomberg's final visit to Ronda was between 1954 and 1957. His drawings and paintings from this period are characterised by structured brushstrokes capturing the unique topography. In the present lots, we see Bomberg's ability to translate the slopes, buildings and skies into richly graded monotone effects. Sworders are pleased to offer examples from both his 1930s and 1950s visits in this sale. Condition ReportFramed: 48.5 x 66.5cm A little cockling and slight time staining.

▲ David Hockney OM CH RA (b.1937) 'Pool Made With Paper and Blue Ink' for the book 'Paper Pools' (MCA Tokyo 234)lithograph in colours, 1980, signed and dated 'Hockney 80' in pencil l.r., and numbered '681/1000', published by Tyler Graphics Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York, with blind stamp sheet 27 x 24cmWhen thinking about David Hockney, the subject of the swimming pool is one that comes to mind. It has become one of the defining motifs of his artistic career and an iconic image of modern art. The theme recurs frequently in his paintings, drawings, photographs and prints.Hockney’s fascination with pools began in 1964 when he flew over Los Angeles and was captivated by the vivid expanse of blue pools dotting the Californian landscape - an image starkly different from the scenery of Britain he had left behind. To Hockney, the swimming pool was a representation of pleasure and leisure in the 1960s, and a joyous image to reproduce. Additionally, it provided a creative opportunity to explore the play of light and reflections on water, shaped by ripples, curves and shadows cast by gentle breezes or the movement of swimmers.This motif repeatedly surfaced in his work over the years, including the present lithograph titled 'Pool Made With Paper and Blue Ink for a Book'. This piece was created for the special edition book 'Paper Pools' by David Hockney, edited by Nikos Stangos and published in 1980 by Thames & Hudson. The book delves into Hockney’s 'Paper Pool' series, comprising twenty-nine paper pulp artworks that he created in 1978 while staying with his friend, the printmaker Ken Tyler. Inspired by this new medium, Hockney used Tyler’s swimming pool as the subject for this lithograph. He meticulously studied the pool at various times of the day and night, observing and recording the interplay of light and colour, through drawings and photographs.Though smaller in scale compared to Hockney’s large oil paintings, this lithograph is equally vibrant and demonstrates meticulous precision in its execution. The image was initially hand-drawn by the artist and then printed in six colours from three lithographic limestones and three aluminium plates. This lot is pencil signed and numbered '681' from a limited edition of 1,000 prints with an additional 122 proofs. Condition ReportFramed: 58 x 49.5cmPresents well overall. In our opinion the colours are bright. Slight time staining to the margins. There is some acid discolouration to the extreme edges. There is a little rubbing/ abrasion to the water in the lower centre and along the left edge, please see additional condition images. The print has been stuck down in the corners and it is not possible to see the reverse of the sheet. The print sits flat without any obvious cockling or creasing.
