Juan Reus (1912-2003) Original Vintage Bullfighting Poster March 1944 107cm x 53cm Juan Reus was born in 1912 in Valencia, where he became a well-known painter, draftsman and, notably, graphic designer of bullfighting posters. Orphaned at birth, Reus attended school until the age of seven, at which point he began work as an apprentice at a local hardware store, where he met the painter Constantino Gómez, piquing his artistic interests. He later went to work in a decorative fans shop and held his first exhibition in the bazaars of Prats and Collado in Valencia. In the 1940s, he was hired as a graphic designer of bullfighting posters in the lithographic Ortega workshop. These posters are generally characterised by bright colours and fluid, gestural movements, whereby the swish of the matador's cloak is almost palpable. This 1944 edition advertises a bullfighting event in Castellón, featuring Pepe Luis Vazquez, Rafael Ortega Gallito and Manuel Alvarez Andaluz. -

Cretan Windmills (1964)
Oil on canvas 61 x 77 cm Peasants and a donkey, followed by a cow and goat, travel along the Cretan shore. Windmills dominate the shoreline - Julian Trevelyan was markedly inspired by the windmills he saw while visiting Crete in the 1960s. The composition is substantially made up of triangular forms; the inverted floating pyramid hovers above the flashing blades of the windmills. Combined with the man, woman, and donkey in the foreground, the pyramid detail suggests Mary and Joseph’s Flight into Egypt. Click here for biographical details and other works by the artist.

Julian Trevelyan (1910-1988) Islam Etching 35 x 48 cm (sheet size 55 x 68 cm) Nephew of the historian G M Trevelyan, Julian Trevelyan was educated at Bedales and then at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English. After moving to Paris, Trevelyan studied engraving at Stanley William Hayter’s school, working alongside artists such as Max Ernst, Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso. He married the potter Ursula Darwin in 1934, and in 1935 they moved to Hammersmith, buying Durham Wharf beside the River Thames which was Trevelyan’s studio – and home – for the rest of his life. His wartime service was – like so many artists – as a camoufleur. A Royal Engineer from 1940-43, he served in North Africa and Palestine, forcing the German Afrika Korps to use resources against a dummy army whilst real tanks were disguised as more harmless equipment. In the desert, nothing could be hidden - but it could be disguised. Following the dissolution of his marriage in 1950, he married the painter Mary Fedden. Teaching at Chelsea School of Art, Trevelyan eventually became head of the Etching Department and his pupils included David Hockney and Peter Ackroyd. Condition: mounted to board. -

Ken Moroney (British, 1948-) The Fens, Norfolk (c. 1990)
Oil on canvas board 48 x 58 cm Provenance: Bonhams (2003) Of Anglo-Irish parentage, Moroney was born in South London, and showed early artistic talent. His Irish father, finding it unmanly, encouraged him to box, and whilst a teenager Moroney won a gold medal. However this did not distract him from art, and once his boxing hobby came to an end the paints continued to show his flair. Self-taught, his impressionistic style, with bold use of colour, has found widespread favour and his works now hang in many important collections. Here he captures the many colours often visible in a fenland sky, where the flat landscape makes for huge skies. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

Kenneth Rowntree
Abstract Australian Landscape
Watercolour 27.5 x 33cm Signed (top left) and dated 'Kenneth Rowntree '85' Provenance: Anderson & Garland Studio sale of Kenneth Rowntree lot 263 Tuesday 8 September 2009 For biographical details and other works by Rowntree click here. Rowntree visited Australia in 1984/85. In this painting he picks up various vignettes from the Australian landscape in six separate blocks. Two relate to the sky, with almost-unbroken blue skies stretching from horizon to horizon, three relate to desert areas, with a whole array of different textures, and one is a luscious green. In one of the desert scenes he has picked out two road signs, in typical Rowntree fashion, reducing them to their simplest form. In her essay Kenneth Rowntree: A Strange Simplicity (published in Kenneth Rowntree A Centenary Exhibition Published by Moore-Gwyn Fine Art and Liss Llewellyn Fine Art, on behalf of the artist’s estate, on the occasion of the centenary of Kenneth Rowntree’s birth) Alexandra Harris makes reference to this painting noting:Later, in 1986, just when the young David Hockney was collaging the signs and road-markings of Route 138 in Pearblossom Highway, Rowntree was in Australia painting yellow diamond-shaped road-signs as bright icons in open country. Wherever he went, Rowntree captured both the unfamiliarity of places and their relationship to things he knew. Heading into the Australian outback, he painted a road-sign as he would paint a rail signal at Clare in Suffolk or nautical markers at Swansea.
Hockney's 1986 Pearblossom Highway may be seen here in the Getty and it is worth noting that Rowntree was in fact painting the yellow sign in 1985, so a year before Hockney. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. -

Kerry Lee (1903-1988)
'Cambridge' Original Poster Map c. 1950
45x58cm Original Vintage Lithographic poster Published by Pictorial Maps Limited, Kerry Lee's own company This edition of the map was produced around 1950, depicting the historical centre of Cambridge and 20 Cambridge colleges around the edges with their founders. Well known as a creator of pictorial maps of British cities from the mid 20th century, he generally draws a self-portrait in the bottom corner by his signature - as here, where he is seen painting (mustachioed and bearded, and clad in a green tunic) with his ever-faithful dog Jim. Educated at Reading Schools of Arts and Science, the Slade and the Sorbonne in Paris, he subsequently assisted his step-father, an architect named Mr Harvey, as draftsman. Following the Depression Lee set up 'Associated Artists' at Blandford Studios off Baker Street, with a group of other commercial artists. During World War 2 he was based in Hertfordshire creating detailed cut-away drawings of German aircraft, and after the war - still at Blandford Studios - published a series of pictorial maps, both those for British Rail and also his own publications. -

Anonymous King's College Cambridge with the River Cam and Bridge to foreground
51x63.5cm Watercolour Probably 1920s A fine, and large, view of King's College. The artist paints in an art deco style, picking out the stones of the bridge in different colours, the colours all having a heightened sense of reality. Born from cubism, the art deco era is characterised by a fragmented, geometric character particularly evident here. It gives the impression of a shimmering dream. The twenties was an incredible period of change, moving from heavy elaborate styles to a pared back and sleek style expressing more dynamism, an interest in dimension and abstraction.

Daniel Havell was a member of the Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, which included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians. Daniel and his brother Robert set up in partnership as aquatint engravers. Soon Daniel began to work independently, engraving plates for Rudolph Ackermann's History of Cambridge (1815) and hid history of various public schools including Eton, Winchester, and Rugby (1816), as well as a celebrated views of St Paul's Cathedral (1818) and various other London landmarks for Ackermann's Repository of Arts. Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints. Condition: Generally very good, some toning within the platemark.If you would like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

Andrew Ingamells (1956 - )
King's College, Cambridge
Etching 54 x 48 cm Signed lower right in pencil. Inspired by David Loggan’s celebrated engraving of the College in 1680, this view of King's College was the first of Ingamells’ series of views of Oxford and Cambridge. It took six months to complete and has long-since sold out from the publisher. Ingamells trained at St Albans School of Art and the London College of Printing, subsequently working as a graphic designer and illustrator. Based in London, he began making drawings of the buildings and landscapes of London. Ingamells’ work is in many public collections including those of the Tate Gallery, The National Trust, The Paul Mellon Centre for British Art, and the City of London Guildhall Library. His pictures are also in several private collections, including those of various Oxford and Cambridge colleges, HM King Charles III, and Shell Oil. The artist is currently part-way through his epic project to record all the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, a project undertaken in homage to David Loggan. Condition: excellent; in wood frame.

Walter Hoyle (1922 - 2000)
King's College, Cambridge (Cambridge Series 1956 - 66)
Linocut 56 x 43 cm Signed and inscribed A/P in pencil. Possibly unique. Hoyle's view of King's College, Cambridge, with a slice of blue sky behind. Hoyle trained at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art. At the latter he was strongly influenced by Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest linocut printers. Bawden had been commissioned by the 1951 Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the South Bank, and chose Hoyle to assist on account of his great talent. Hoyle moved to Great Bardfield in Essex, becoming a part of the Great Bardfield group of artists; diverse in style, they created figurative work, in stark contrast to the abstract art of the St Ives artists at the opposite end of the country. Hoyle taught at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951-60, the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1960-64, and the Cambridge School of Art from 1964-1985, during which time he launched Cambridge Print Editions. His work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum, Kettle’s Garden and the Fry Art Gallery. Provenance: family of the artist. Condition: generally very good; a few handling marks and a little age toning to the margins. Vertical impressins within and below the blue vertical area which are probably part of the artist's working technique.
