§ Arthur Dooley (1929-1994), three bronze 'Workers Control of Fisher Bendix Kirkby Jan 72' fish, each moulded 'A.D. / 72' to the bodies 6.5cm wide Acquired by the vendor's husband, who was working at Conran's Design Group in Deansgate, central Manchester, at the time of the strikes. According to the vendor, he too too had come from a working class background and was thus keen to support their cause and purchased these during a working tour of the city in 1972, the year he and the vendor were married. Born on January 17, 1929, Arthur Dooley is remembered as a significant sculptor whose work was deeply intertwined with his political beliefs and advocacy for social justice. His life journey from a merchant seaman and welder to a celebrated artist is as compelling as his sculptures, which often depicted the struggles and resilience of the working class. Dooley's early life was marked by diverse and challenging experiences. Leaving school at the age of 14, he took on various jobs, including working as a merchant seaman and later as a welder at Cammell Laird shipyards in Birkenhead. These early jobs, particularly in heavy industry, had a profound influence on his artistic vision. It was during his time as a welder that Dooley began attending night classes in sculpture, which set him on the path to becoming an artist. His talent blossomed further when he enrolled at St Martin's School of Art in London, where his raw, expressive style began to take shape.Dooley's sculptures are noted for their powerful emotional impact and often feature religious and social themes. Working primarily with bronze and steel, materials that mirrored his industrial roots, he created pieces that were both robust and deeply evocative. Central to his art was a strong sense of social justice and solidarity with the working class. This commitment to social issues was not just thematic but also active, as seen in his involvement with the 1972 Fisher Bendix worker strikes in Kirkby, near his native Liverpool.The Fisher Bendix factory strikes were a pivotal moment in Dooley's life and career. Faced with job losses and poor working conditions, the workers went on strike and eventually occupied the factory in a desperate bid to save their jobs. Dooley's support for the workers went beyond mere sympathy; he actively participated in their cause, using his art and public presence to amplify their struggles. In solidarity with the workers, Dooley produced the present works as tokens to be sold at the factory gates, with the proceeds being donated to the striking workers. This involvement underscored his belief in art as a tool for social change and his deep connection to the working-class community. All three in good condition.

(English 1805-1885) watercolour - entitled verso 'Snowdon, North Wales', unsigned, 17 x 36cms, framed and glazed (5)Provenance: private collection ConwyComments: in descriptionNotes: Emil Albert Krause was born in Biesdorf, Germany on 8th July 1866 and was the son of Franz Emil Herman Krause 1836-1900. He moved to England with his father and mother Amelia and they all became naturalised British subjects in 1881. They firstly lived at 42 Liverpool Road, Birkdale, Southport, Lancashire, with his father later moving to Conwy in North Wales, where Emil also spent some time, as he exhibited from there. His mother was an Amelia Stock, whose father Johann Stock was also an artist. He officially changed his name to Emil Albert Stock in 1916, although he sometimes signed as A. Stock, presumably to anglicise his name due to the anti-German feeling during the WWI. He died on 18th November, 1922 and was buried in the Duke Street Cemetery in Southport with his mother and brother Richard. His father Francis was buried in Conwy. He exhibited 1891-1914 as Emil A. Krause, 14 paintings at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, 3 at the Manchester City A.G. and 20 at the Royal Cambrian Academy. He exhibited 1 painting at the Walker again in 1921 as E. A. Stock. With thanks to Mr Richard Thomas for assistance in cataloguing this lot.
