Tristram Ellis, British 1844-1922-A Tripoli Bazaar; and The Kadisha, Tripoli, 1880; watercolours, both measuring 46 x 54 cm (framed)(2)Note:Tristram Ellis was an English artist renowned for his depictions of the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean. Born in Great Malvern, his early years were spent in Bath, Clifton, and Edinburgh before attending Queenwood College in Hampshire. In 1862, Ellis enrolled at King's College, London, where, in his second year, he achieved the highest distinction ever recorded in the Applied Sciences department. He won all the available scholarships and earned the title of Associate of King's College after just two years, recognizing his extraordinary accomplishments.  Following his time at university, Ellis completed a pupillage under the railway engineer Sir John Fowler and became a partner in an engineering firm. However, after several years, he felt his true passion lay in art. With the financial means to support himself, he chose to leave engineering behind and dedicated himself entirely to oil painting. Several of Ellis's early oil paintings were displayed at the Royal Academy, and he soon moved to Paris to study under Léon Bonnat. After completing his studies in Paris, Ellis began traveling to sketch scenes from foreign lands. In 1878, he spent six months in Cyprus, then under British rule, where he contracted a fever. Despite this setback, he returned with 50 to 60 watercolour sketches, which were exhibited on Bond Street in April 1879 and sold to a dealer. This success inspired him to plan a more ambitious journey. On 1 October 1879, Ellis boarded a steamship for Alexandria, intending to visit Syria, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia. His travels took him from the Syrian coast, overland to Diyarbakir in southeast Turkey, and then by raft down the Tigris River to Mosul and Baghdad in Iraq. From Baghdad, Ellis journeyed overland to Palmyra and Damascus in Syria, then continued to Beirut, Lebanon. Upon his return, he exhibited around 90 sketches from his travels, all of which sold immediately. He also wrote a two-volume illustrated account of his journey, On a Raft, and Through the Desert, which was published in 1881. Ellis's next adventure took him to Egypt in the spring of 1882. He spent three weeks at the Pyramids, staying with the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, and left the country in May, just before the massacre in Alexandria on 11 June 1882, which led to the Anglo-Egyptian War. A few years later, Ellis returned to the eastern Mediterranean, spending time in Athens, where three of his sketches were selected by George I of Greece.

A large sketch of a hunt scene,  Kotah, Rajasthan, 18th centuryInk heighted with gouache on paper, hills and monuments identified in black Devanagari script, mounted, glazed and framed, 46 x 63cm.Provenance: From the Collection of Francis Golding (1944-2013).Francis Golding's collection of Chinese works of art was sold at Christie's in 2015 and was assembled over forty years from reputable London dealers such as Bluett & Sons, John Sparks, and Spink & Son, and international auction houses including Sotheby's, Bonham's, and Christie’s. His collection of Indian paintings and drawings were acquired with a similar approach and a number were purchased from his friend the painter and Indian art collector Sir Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017). They were placed artfully in his London Georgian townhouse, where he lived with his partner, art historian Dr Satish Padiyar. He was widely considered to be one of the country’s leading architectural, planning and conservation consultants. As such, he greatly influenced the contemporary architectural landscape of London. His clients included world renowned architect Richard Rogers, with whom he advised on The Leadenhall Building in the City of London known as “The Cheese Grater”; and Rafael Viñoly, whose distinctive building nicknamed “The Walkie-Talkie” towers above London’s surrounding historic financial district at 20 Fenchurch Street. The soaring public sky terrace there, “The Francis Golding Terrace”, was named after him as a mark of respect for a man whose passion for London’s architecture and urban landscape improved the quality of the many developments on which he advised. Francis Golding also advised the celebrated architect Norman Foster, with whom he worked on London’s iconic building the “Gherkin.” More than one hundred and fifty items of Francis Golding’s wardrobe were acquired by Museum of London in 2017.

ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER (GERMAN 1880-1938) ZWEI FRAUEN IM GESPRÄCH [TWO WOMAN IN CONVERSATION], c. 1921 stamped with the Nachlass E. L. Kirchner mark and numbered P Da/Ba 5 in ink and K6796 and 6450 in pencil (to reverse), Indian ink and wash on paper  30.2cm x 36cm (11 7/8in x 14 1/8in) Theo Hill Galerie, Cologne, 1968;Anthony Hepworth FIne Art, Bath;The Collection of Gillian Raffles. This work is listed in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archives, Wichtrach/Bern and will be included in any forthcoming catalogue raisonnés of the artist's graphic works,Exhibited:Mercury Gallery, London, Summer Exhibition, 11 June - 15 September 1973, no. 191, illustrated in exhibition catalogue. ‘I learnt to value the first sketch, so that the first sketches and drawings have the greatest worth for me. How often I’ve failed to pull off and consciously complete on the canvas that which I threw off without effort in a trance in my sketch…’ Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, ‘Zebdher Essay’, recorded in his diary, 1927 Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Zwei Frauen im Gesprach is the perfect expression of the ‘modernist primitivism’ that defined German Expressionism in the early 20th Century, both that of the Die Brücke group (of which Kirchner was the founder and leading light) and its Munich counterpart, Der Blaue Reiter, led by Kandinsky. Both groups sought to free art – and life – from the shackles of bourgeois ideals and (in art) stifling Academism, alighting upon the cultures of non-European peoples as ciphers of a more direct and intuitive emotional ‘truth’, in particular the art of the Pacific (inspired by Gauguin) and of Africa. Whilst today we would look at the Expressionists’ approach to non-Europan art as a form of cultural appropriation, based on fundamental misconceptions of this art being ‘primitive’ rather than highly sophisticated in its own right, this approach was, at least, wholehearted in its intention: Kirchner and his contemporaries were genuinely looking to the non-European for something lacking in the West, their ‘primitivism’ beyond a mere imitation – rather  a search for authenticity, a direction of travel to express true modernity.  In Zwei Frauen im Gesprach, we see two young women in conversation in what looks like Kirchner’s studio – which itself was a gesamkunstwerk (total art work) of hand-printed batik hangings, dark painted walls, hand-carved furniture and African objects. In the background, we see one of these objects, a small totemic figure, listening in, perhaps, to what these two thoroughly modern women are discussing. The figure on the left, with her bobbed hair and arch hand gesture looks like she has stepped straight out of a Berlin cabaret. Indeed, she could well be the dancer Nina Hard, renowned for her slick black bob, whom Kirchner had met in Zürich in May 1921 and who was to became an important model and muse for him.  And this sculpture in the background could well be African, brought back by the brother of fellow Die Brücke artist Erich Heckel, who held a job in colonial East Africa, but equally it could be a work of Heckel or Kirchner’s own making, as modern as the women themselves. Kirchner’s sculptures of the 1910s are incredible hybrid works, far beyond imitations of African art and distinctly European, that don’t really find their counterpart until Georg Baselitz’s chainsaw carvings of the 1980s. In Zwei Frauen im Gesprach Kirchner shows his mastery of brush and ink, which perhaps could be said to be the medium of German Expressionism. The brush allows for bold, jagging lines and an emphasis on outline over shading, as sculpting the figures on paper as they would with chisels out of wood; and the ink allows for speed – an idea as modern as modern can be. Brush and ink allows spontaneity, a definitiveness of gesture, that Kirchner, Heckel and fellow members of Die Brücke honed in their ‘quarter-hour’ life drawing sessions, where working quickly became analogous to working without premeditation – or as Jill Lloyd puts it, speed of execution becomes an ‘attempt… to catch modernity on the wing’. (Jill Lloyd, German Expressionism: Primitivism and Modernity, Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 1991, p.45)
