Tribal Art A large collection of volumes on tribal art to include of Africa, America, Oceania and of the Inuit people to include: Brodrogi (Tibor) Stammeskunst, Budapest, 1982, two volumes, 4to; Meyer (Anthony J.P.) Oceanic Art, Cologne, 1995, folio; Einstein (Carl) Negerplastik, Munich: Kurt Wolff, 1920, 4to, cloth; among other volumes on tribal art (qty) The Library of Roger Cardinal Roger Cardinal (1940-2019)Roger Cardinal was one of Britain’s most distinguished art historians, best known for defining what is generally known as Outsider Art - that is, art by people with no formal training. He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life. Cardinal often used books as working tools, heavily annotating in the margins - as with many volumes in the current sale. The library offered reflects Cardinal’s varied interests and fluent command of French and German. Alongside a large collection of art reference works in his specialist subjects, we also find collections of books on fairy tales and science fiction.

He was heavily sedated and children would have their pictures taken with him. Generally, my work explores parental anxiety. Lions first started appearing in my work a few years ago, becoming a symbol of danger but also of protection. I also think a lot about the natural world and Man's destruction of it and what the future will look like for our children.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.

2nd-3rd century A.D. Bust and torso of an indigenous nobleman modelled in the round; with rounded facial features, the shoulder-length hair dressed in hanks and cut into tiers, centre-parted and framing the face; the eyes exaggerated, probably originally emphasised with sheet-silver detailing; the broad chest smooth with ring-and-dot nipples; a thick collar or torc sitting high on the collar-bone, with braided detailing and finished with a D-shaped pendant; each upper-arm supported by a barley-twist column with cup finial and stylised flames above; the centre supported by a rectangular block with incised herringbone linear pattern interspersed with pointillé pellets; the base broad and gently curved away from the figure, with a lattice of bilinear panels bearing groups of three ring-and-dot motifs, D-shaped loop to the forward edge flanked by smaller lobes; the reverse plain, the head hollow with remains of a thick loop at the lower edge of the hair; significant iron deposits to surface from its deposition environment; of provincial Roman workmanship. See Boucher, S. & Tassinari, S., Musée de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine a Lyon: Bronzes Antiques I. Inscriptions, Statuaire, Vaisselle, Lyon, 1976. 461 grams, 13 cm (5 1/8 in.). [No Reserve] From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.Its construction with a central block flanked by two short pillars (i.e. leaving two slots) suggests that the piece may have been intended as a rein-guide for a chariot, whereby the leather or fabric straps would pass through the two apertures and, by their separation, be prevented from tangling. Bronze figural busts are known from Gallo-Roman contexts: they are usually female and interpreted as tutelae or protective tribal spirits (Boucher & Tassinari, 1976, items 62-4). The present example is evidently designed to impress the viewer with its portrayal of the 'noble barbarian' as a suitable conveyor of martial splendour (Boucher & Tassinari, 1976, item 321). The impressive figure recalls the famed statue 'The Dying Gaul' in the Capitoline Museum, Rome, showing a 'barbarian' warrior with a neck torc, thick hair and moustache, discarded weapons and shield carved on the ground and a carnyx trumpet between his legs. The statue is a copy of a Hellenistic original celebrating a Greek victory over the Galatians.
