Lot 223

* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), MAINEE AT THE MIRROR mixed media on paper, signed mounted, framed and under glassimage size 50cm x 54cm, overall size 88cm x 92cm Provenance: We are grateful to Lachlan Goudie, artist, writer, broadcaster and the leading authority on the work of his father for authenticating this work and confirming that the lady is Alexander Goudie's wife (Lachlan's mother) Marie-Renee Dorval who was known as "Mainee". Lachlan believes this work is likely to be from the late 1970s.Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, wrote: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, Rozelle House Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries and The Fleming Collection (London). Numerous prestigious corporate collections in the UK and France and in private collections around the world.

* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004),ODALISQUEoil on canvas, signedimage size 85cm x 120cm, overall size 104cm x 139vm Framed.Provenance: We are grateful to Lachlan Goudie, artist, writer, broadcaster and the leading authority on the work of his father, for authenticating "Odalisque" and confirming that "Yes, I know this canvas very well. It’s one of my father’s finest nude paintings, a tribute in many ways to his artistic heroes Manet and Velazquez. The subject is my mother, Marie Renee Goudie, who was a muse for my father throughout his career. It’s a supremely confident piece of virtuoso painting, designed to create an impression of sensuality and exoticism. A wonderful work". Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed a prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist, he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris.
