Offenstadt, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Catalogue raisonné, Paris, 2018, no. 85 (illustrated p. 104).Albert Dubois-Pillet's Reines-marguerites dans un pot sur le rebord d'une fenêtre, painted in August of 1885, is a remarkable example of the artist's pivotal influence on Pointillism, a groundbreaking movement that was then burgeoning in Paris. Exhibited in 1886 at the second Salon des Indépendants, the painting garnered early critical attention, notably from the renowned art critic Félix Fénéon. In his seminal article, 'Les Impressionistes', published in La Vogue in June of 1886, Fénéon used this work to highlight how Dubois-Pillet, as well as other artists such as Georges Seurat (1859-1891) and Paul Signac (1863-1935), were revolutionising the established Impressionist style. Rather than working spontaneously or subjectively as the Impressionists did, Fénéon emphasised how these artists were pioneering a new scientific approach, dividing highly keyed colours into their constituent parts with tiny dabs of paint upon canvas, allowing them to blend optically in the viewer's eye. This technical, structured approach to achieving vibrancy and luminosity would come to be known as Neo-Impressionism, a movement for which Fénéon's article would later become revered as a foundational text. The present work depicts vibrant pink and purple flowers arranged in a floral-patterned pot placed upon the windowsill of the artist's studio, framed by a typical Parisian rooftop in the background. Its tight composition and meticulous stippled treatment of the sky showcase Dubois-Pillet's precision and fascination with light and colour. Engaging with contemporary colour theories, notably those of Georges Seurat, he applied tiny dabs of colour to deconstruct light and achieve a unique form of radiance through optical blending.As a friend and contemporary of Seurat, Dubois-Pillet was involved in the same avant-garde circles that challenged the traditional and academic norms of painting. While he aligned with the Neo-Impressionist movement due to his scientific approach to painting, his works conveyed a more restrained and poetic sensibility to those of his counterparts. As Seurat explored the bustling metropolitan life of Paris, Dubois-Pillet focused on still-lifes and quiet interiors, emphasising introspection and the domestic sphere with a delicate and evocative sensibility. In addition to its significant early acclaim – demonstrating its presence at the heart of a transformative moment in modern art – the present work comes with an impeccable, unbroken provenance. Its first owner, Augustin Durastel de Rocheblave, acquired the work directly from the artist. Durastel de Rocheblave was a lawyer from Puy-en-Velay, the French commune that Dubois-Pillet was transferred to as an artillery captain in the French military, and which inspired many of his final paintings. Dubois-Pillet passed away in August 1890 due to an outbreak of smallpox in this region, after which his friend Paul Signac and the Société des Artistes Indépendants – of which Dubois-Pillet was a founding member – organised a memorial exhibition of his work. Extant paintings by the artist are exceedingly rare, due to a fire that destroyed the majority of his work, as well as his early death. The present work, therefore, remains an exceptional example of Dubois-Pillet's most pioneering work, and a testament to his contribution to the tectonic shifts in modern art that took place at the end of the nineteenth-century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Jane studied at Oxford University and the Ashmolean Museum and other Oxford institutions hold examples of her work. She was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1961 through to the Summer Exhibition in 2019. Her work was also commissioned by the National Trust and Oxford Oratory Church. In addition, several of Oxford’s hospitals and the Ashmolean Museum hold examples of her work. She also exhibited at the New Grafton Gallery in London and with the New English Art Club. Her reputation in Oxford was renowned not just for her painting but for her enthusiasm and zest for teaching. She taught at the Ruskin School of Art for several decades and was instrumental in establishing The Royal Drawing School. She continued as an artist and teacher in Oxford until late in life and passed away at the age of 97 in February last year. Jane was married to Peter Greenham, whose work is perhaps more widely known and subjects include Queen Elizabeth II & Princess Margaret.

λ&nbspCAREL WEIGHT (BRITISH 1908-1997) SKETCH FOR 'AN EPISODE IN THE CHILDHOOD OF A GENIUS' Oil on panel Signed to label (attached verso) 43.5 x 65cm (17 x 25½ in.)Painted in 1932. Provenance: J. Beddington, Director of Wildenstein, Private CollectionExhibited: London, Arts Council of Great Britain, Four Contemporary British Painters, (Leonard Appelbee, Claude Rogers, Ruskin Spear, Carel Weight), 1947, no. 27  'At this time his mother told him a story of vital importance to his development as an artist, As a girl, she had clambered out of an upstairs window and made her way along a narrow, projecting ledge to a neighbour's windowsill, tempted there by the bright blooms in a window-box. People in the street saw her and were terribly worried about her falling, but somehow they got her back.' It introduced another line - humorous fantasy - and he developed it with gusto. It was to become a constant in so many purlieus of Carel Weight's world. 'That gave me an idea for a picture. I moved the scene to the outside of a pub, and substituted a young lad who'd climbed up the inn sign and perched himself precariously on top. He was causing great consternation not only to people in the pub but also among the crowd who'd gathered outside'. - see R.V. Weight, Carel Weight, 1994, page 21  The painting , for which this is the study, was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1933 (No 100) and was instrumental in securing the artist's first teaching job. The painter Henry Carr,, then head of Beckenham School of Art, saw it, liked it, and offered Weight a 2-day-a-week teaching position at the school, Weight accepted and continued to teach at Beckenham until called up for war service in 1942. - see Mervyn Levy, Carel Weight, 1986, page 45.

Winifred Nicholson (British, 1893-1981)My Bedroom Window signed, titled and dated 'Winifred Nicholson 1973/'My Bedroom Window' (verso)oil on canvasboard48.5 x 58.8 cm. (19 1/8 x 23 1/8 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Crane Kalman Gallery, London, November 1974, where acquired by the family of the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.One of Winifred Nicholson's most favoured and signature compositions is that of the windowscape, an innovative technique for capturing still life subjects – frequently flowers – as well as the landscape beyond, encompassing the changing tones of the season and creating a sense of intimacy with the interior setting. The present lot shows a very personal view indeed, that of My Bedroom Window.In 1954 Nicholson wrote a short piece entitled I Like To Have A Picture In My Room, in which she lists desires for her ideal domestic space. She states 'I want a window in it, I want a telephone, a radio and a television set. All these are contacts and doors in the outer world' (Winifred Nicholson quoted in Andrew Nicholson, ed., Unknown Colour, Paintings, Letters, Writings by Winifred Nicholson, Faber and Faber, London, 1987, p. 234). For the artist, her bedroom was clearly a deeply personal space in which she spent much time, and so to have a picture painted from just this perspective is very special. It is telling that of the above requirements, the window is utmost, and its function in providing an outlook to the natural world must have been, for her, paramount.From the variety of flowers depicted, which include the distinctive bell-shaped blooms of speckled purple and white fritillaries, the season looks to be Spring, with the potted indoor plants protected from the worst of any frosts by their safe position on the windowsill, where they can bask in the warming sun. The six-petalled blue starry flowers are chionodoxa, 'glory of the snow', another spring-flowering bulb which blossoms in dainty sprays. The leaves and flowers in the foreground are intermingled with the just-budding, wayward branches of saplings and trees which fill the garden beyond. The compositional involvement of a half-drawn curtain, patterned with flying birds, further expands on a theme of the revolving cycle of seasonal changes which form a major focus of her work.Nicholson is famed for the attention dedicated to and singular skill displayed in depicting her floral subjects, which is unique. As a review in the Times noted in 1927 of a joint exhibition with Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood was to observe, 'there is something of an April spirit in her work...in her flower paintings the escape from realism into a new reality, as lovely as that of Nature, and charged with human feeling, is complete.' (The Times, 21 April 1927, quoted in Christopher Andreae, Winifred Nicholson, Lund Humphries, Farnham, 2009, p.73).We are grateful to Jovan Nicholson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.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
