Bijan Choudhury (1931 - 2012) Oil on Canvas 65 x 43 Inches Signed Lower Left "Bijon Chaudhury was a modernist painter renowned for his exploration of themes like resilience labor and human connection. Born in Faridpur Bengal and educated at the Government College of Art and Craft Calcutta Chaudhury emerged as a key figure in the Indian art scene. He was part of the Calcutta Painters group which sought to create a modernist movement rooted in Indian culture. His works celebrated for their sculptural figures and dynamic lines blend Indian classical and folk traditions with Western modernist influences. This piece portrays a seated man with a musical instrument and a woman on a chair depicted in muted brown and earthy tones. The elongated rounded limbs of the man and the poised posture of the woman create an intimate connection between the figures. Chaudhury’s use of minimal background and bold sculptural forms heightens the emotional depth of the scene blending tradition and modernity in a timeless narrative"

AN UNUSUAL AND FINELY CARVED FRENCH RENAISSANCE WOOD PANEL BRITTANY, 16TH/17TH CENTURY Lemon or another fruit wood, possibly a back 'splat' or part of a musical device, in low relief, 'Stations of the Cross', mounted on a wood block support splat 53cm long, 9cm wide Provenance: Ex Private London collection This would seem to be a depiction of the 'Arma Christi', or instruments of the Passion of Christ. This subject appears as from the late 15th Century in Christian iconography (going back to a legend about a vision of Pope Gregory) and the subject was heavily promoted in Catholic devotion of 'indulgence prayers' in the following decades. The Reformation opposed to many devotional practices, including these indulgence prayers - and one can only assume that this carved wooden 'splat' was part of a larger liturgic instrument (such as a crucifix, or a relic holder of some kind to be used in processions), probably destroyed in one of the many Church raids of the 16th Century

LIBOR FARA (Czech / Bohemian 1925 - 1988) - Queen (Muse) | 1949 | technique: assemblage on wood | 114 x 34 cm | signature: marked on reverse | note: Attached is a copy of the work's authenticity certificate from Dr. Anna Farova | Lot description | Libor Fara, an important Czech artist and scenographer, often straddled the border between surrealism and Dadaism in his work. His work "The Queen (Muse)" from 1949 is an example of the artist's characteristic use of assemblage, where he combines found objects into unusual combinations. In this work, where part of a musical instrument is used, Fara creates a poetic figure of the muse, which combines human and inanimate elements. The work is playful, but at the same time evokes a certain surreal absurdity, typical of the post-war avant-garde. "Queen (Muse)" is an example of Fara's ability to explore the relationship between art, object and human imagination. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
