A LARGE EMBROIDERED AND PAINTED STANDING PORTRAIT OF A GREEK EVZONOS (MEMBER OF THE GREEK ARMY LIGHT INFANTRY AND MOUNTAIN UNITS) Greece, ex-Ottoman Balkan provinces, second half 19th centuryOf rectangular shape, embroidered in polychrome cotton threads in a variety of stitches, including metal thread French knots and spangles, on a light blue silk satin ground, the face and hands oil painted on canvas and stitched on the satin ground, the mixed fabric and painting patchwork portrait depicting a Greek evzonos (also known as evzones or evzonoi) standing on top of a hill overlooking a coast-line or harbour-like seascape, wearing a traditional Balkan pleated skirt-like garment called fustanella, with an embroidered long-sleeved black vest, around his waist a belt with a pocket knife and a palaska (cartridge case), resting his right elbow on a matchlock rifle, mounted, glazed and framed, 105cm x 60cm including the frame. The fustanella dress with its typical embroidered waistcoat and jacket originates in the Balkan territories and was particularly popular among Albanians. However, in the 19th century, several other nationalities started wearing it, including the British regiment stationed in the Ionian Islands in the 1810s, as well as the revolutionary fighters of the War of Independence in Greece in the 1820s. Because of this association with Western army troops, the fustanella became a principal visual symbol of Philhellenism and resistance against the Ottomans. Consolidated as an emblem of male bravery and national heroism, the fustanella was proclaimed the official court costume and national dress in Greece in 1835 and a shorter version of it became the traditional military attire worn by ceremonial and light infantry units, such as the evzones, in 1868. 105cm x 60cm including the frame Qty: 1
* PAM CARTER DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1952 - 2022), BIG SKY oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 29cm x 29cm, overall size 47cm x 47cmNote: Pam Carter was born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen, she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in the seventies. "My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific viewpoints. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic viewpoints of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil". Pam Carter was unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular and successful contemporary artists. She won numerous awards and prizes, always received significant media attention, has been the subject of many magazine features and had several tv appearances. Her work is widely exhibited but rarely appears at auction. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 17th April 2022 lot 38 "Luskentyre Reflections" a 46 x 51cm oil by Pam Carter sold for £2000 (hammer) and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th July 2022 lot 230 "Gables Geary" sold for £2600 (hammer).Comment: Pam was a special artist and one who enjoyed wide popularity and substantial commercial success. In all our dealings with Pam over the years, she was always generous with her time and quick to provide the background to paintings we had received from private consignors and filling in gaps about locations, dates etc. Pam's work is instantly recognisable and she had that rare gift, even among the best artists, of being able to use the minimum of brushwork to create the maximum visual effect. Her "lines" were those of the natural environment but she knew exactly how to "see" them and portray them on canvas. Despite her commercial success, or perhaps even because of it, Pam's work probably hasn't yet reached the full audience that it so richly deserves. She exhibited frequently at numerous galleries in Scotland and gallery owners were inevitably in a queue to secure her work. Typically, Pam showed loyalty to those who were the first to support her when she was a relative unknown. Talented artists always wish to be remembered by their work and Pam Carter can be certain of that, but she'll also be remembered with great affection by all those who had the good fortune to meet her or know her.
Laurence Stephen Lowry R.A. (British, 1887-1976)Sailing boats signed and dated 'L.S. LOWRY 1922' (lower right)oil on canvas29.5 x 34.5 cm. (11 5/8 x 13 1/2 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, by whom gifted to Frank Jopling Fletcher, thence by descent to the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.One of the earliest surviving drawings by L.S. Lowry, executed at fifteen years of age and listed as No.1 in Mervyn Levy's The Drawings of L.S. Lowry, is titled Yachts (1902) and was executed at Lytham St. Anne's, where the Lowry family often spent their summer holidays. Lowry was deeply connected to the sea, and it remained a constant throughout his career with images of pleasure boats, tankers or just open water interspersed amongst and providing contrast to the urban landscapes of his native Manchester. The sea was a calming force and provided an opportunity for reflection amidst an otherwise hectic world and as the years went on it became nostalgic and offered a degree of familiarity which Lowry craved. In a taped recording with Gerald B Cotton, Lowry talked with passion about his experience of the sea and of his time with a herring fleet seventy-five miles out into the North Sea off Peterhead and Fraserburgh, his parents waiting for him on the shore. He saw amongst the currents and waves the same struggle which occupied the people among whom he lived and worked, the 'Battle of Life' as it were, and was intoxicated by it. In his text on the artist, T.G. Rosenthal writes 'it is not mere speculation to say that the sea, wherever he found it, gave him ample opportunity to work with his beloved, and so ingeniously exploited, white paint. More than the industrials, and more than his earth-bound landscapes the views of the sea had one overpowering component which existed on a much smaller – and frequently mostly hidden – aspect, namely an uninterrupted horizon where the preponderant white sky met the edge of the sea.' (T.G. Rosenthal, L.S. Lowry, The Art and the Artist, Unicorn Press, Norwich, 2010, p.208). Sailing boats dates to 1922 making it an intriguingly early Lowry seascape and one which would have appealed to his mother who favoured these depictions of the Lancashire coast. The painting bears a debt to the artist's influential tutor, Adolphe Valette, who pioneered Impressionism in Manchester and encouraged his students to explore the variation of light and colour in their work as can be seen here amongst thick and visible brushstrokes. The inclusion of a figure in the boat located at the foreground of the present work is reminiscent of Valette's images of boats on the Manchester Ship Canal, which themselves were inspired by Monet's studies of the River Thames. L.S. Lowry met Frank Jopling Fletcher at art college, and they remained lifelong friends. Lowry later painted his portrait, which is now a part of the Salford Museum and Art Gallery collection.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
