“The Lieutenance Honfleur” by Edward Seago, one of Britain’s best known and most widely collected twentieth century artists, will be sold in the Modern and Contemporary Art Sale on 1st March. Edward Seago is known for his ability to capture a moment in paint with spontaneity and fluidity.
A strong selection of Northern Art is also on offer, with two pencil drawings by Laurence Stephen Lowry from a private collection, and Helen Layfield Bradley’s “Across Windermere”, in which she depicts a springtime trip she took with her family. Amongst a selection of works by mining artist Norman Cornish are three works from the artist's estate, and several pieces by the Manchester-born Geoffrey Key.
Scottish Art is well represented, with the pastel “Tall Red House” by Joan Eardley. Eardley is known for her powerful, expressive paintings of the gritty, the elemental, and the dilapidated in post-war Scotland. Also of interest is “Pink Rocks Iona” by John Lowie Morrison ‘Jolomo’, and works by Robin Phillipson and Elizabeth Blackadder.
Further highlights of the sale include works by Bernard Dunstan and his wife Diana Armfield, an interesting Still Life of Apples by Duncan Grant, a private collection of works by Paul Maze, a collection of prints by the much-loved etcher Norman Ackroyd and a selection of prints by the likes of Julian Trevelyan, Mark Hearld, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Bob Dylan and Damien Hirst.
