§ ALFRED WALLIS (BRITISH 1855-1942)
PLYMOUTH signed in pencil (upper left), oil and chalk on card26.5cm x 35.5cm (10.5in x 14in)Provenance: In Barns-Graham's notes about her collection she states she was given three oils by Alfred Wallis by Mary Buchanan, Ben Nicholson and Sven Berlin. In the exhibition catalogue for Alfred Wallis (Arts Council of Great Britain, 1968) it states this painting is ex collection ‘Mrs George Buchanan’.Literature:Published with title 'Portsmouth and the Victory' Nicholson, Ben (1950), (Bournemouth Arts Club Presents a Retrospective Exhibition of) Paintings by Alfred Wallis, Sydenham & Co. Ltd, Bournemouth, cat. no. 17.The Arts Council of Great Britain, Alfred Wallis, Percy Lund, Humpries & Co Ltd, London and Bradford, 1968 cat. no. 39.The three paintings in this collection by Alfred Wallis were gifted to Barns-Graham by individual friends: Mary Buchanan, Sven Berlin, and Ben Nicholson. Wallis died in 1942 two years after Willie settled in St Ives. There was time however for her to become acquainted with him, and to act as a sort of ambassador for those who wished to meet the self-taught painter (he could be crotchety). She admired, as did Ben Nicholson and other painters before her, the simplicity and directness of his imagemaking. There was a freedom, a lack of formality, that the Moderns strived for. To Wallis, painting was a physical event: perspective and relative scale was irrelevant as he storyboarded his memories. It is difficult today, when his work commands so much attention, to imagine the ease with which one could acquire his work, and also give it away. Mary Buchanan and her husband, the novelist George Buchanan were among those friends the newly arrived Barns-Graham made through the auspices of her Edinburgh College of Art fellow painter Margaret Mellis, and her new husband the art critic and painter, Adrian Stokes. The latter was the catalyst for the move to Cornwall of Barbara Hepworth, her husband Ben Nicholson and the Russian sculptor Naum Gabo with his wife, Miriam. The Stokes’ Carbis Bay home, Little Parc Owles, was a magnet for all new arrivals, and those visiting from London and elsewhere. Despite the house being full of senior Modernist figures, Barns-Graham never forgot her first encounter with the group of Wallis paintings Stokes owned. Always a note-taker, she recorded the oddly shaped bits of cardboard he painted on, and his particular colours: black boats, green and white seas, and grey houses. Some very early St Ives paintings of sheds by Willie owe something to Wallis, the flattening of perspective and his palette.Essay by Lynne Green, author of W. Barns-Graham: a studio life, and Trustee of the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust.

DESIGN FOR STENCIL DECORATION FOR 14 KINGSBOROUGH GARDENS, 1901 pencil and watercolour on paper, pencil annotations, later framedsheet size 21.9cm x 29.8cm (frame 40.3cm x 47.5cm)Provenance: Acquired by William Meldrum, after the Memorial Exhibition 1933and by descent to his son, James MeldrumGiven to The Glasgow Art Club by Eva Meldrum, widow of James Meldrum, 1984Literature:Billcliffe, R., Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs, Cameron & Hollis 2009, pp.132-133,1901.67 illus.Note: This delicate design for a wall frieze is a study for 14 Kingsborough Gardens in Glasgow, the property of Fra Newbery’s mother-in-law Mrs Rowat. Dating to circa 1901, Billcliffe states that the design of Kingsborough Gardens was notably feminine, with detailed stencilled motifs of stylized flowers decorating the walls.This sketch, and the other works by Mackintosh in this sale, belonged to James Meldrum, having come from the collection of his father William Meldrum, Mackintosh’s friend and fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1880s. James Meldrum notably staged the 1933 Memorial Exhibition of Mackintosh’s work in the MacLellan Galleries on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, along with his friend William Davidson. After James’ death, his widow Eva gifted the vast body of the William Meldrum Collection to the Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The series of works offered here were gifted to the Glasgow Art Club in the 1980s and now appear on the open market for the first time.

RICHARD EDWARD MILLER (AMERICAN,
RICHARD EDWARD MILLER (AMERICAN, 1875 - 1943) 28 ½" x 36" "In the Garden." Oil on canvas, signed lower right, in decorative frame, overall 33 ½" x 41". Remnants of Worcester Art Museum label, Cleveland Museum of Art label and an unidentified label verso. "Macbeth Gallery New York" stamped on the top stretched bar. A letter of authenticity from Marie Louise Kane discusses the painting. "Although I have never seen the painting titled In the Garden (oil on canvas, 28.5 x 36 inches) signed Miller (lower right) and offered at Aspire Auctions February 12-18, 2021, I am of the firm opinion that it is by the American artist Richard Edward Miller (1875-1943).
The model in the painting appears in other works of the period by Miller, most notably the seated figure under the parasol in Afternoon Tea, 1910 (Indianapolis Museum of Art). I would date In the Garden to the same period, 1910-1911, and place it in the same locale, a garden in Giverny, France. By 1910 Miller, who arrived in France in 1899 to further his art studies, had already spent several summers in Giverny, joining a small community of American artists, many of whom were pulled there by Monet's presence. Miller's work, which until this time was characterized by a darker palette, begin to brighten noticeably. He placed his models outdoors, in gardens, or in sunrooms opening into gardens, and played with the effects of sunlight – on flesh, on fabric, on foliage. As in other Giverny paintings by Miller, the model is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a full, white, tiered skirt, a flowing shawl, and a coral necklace.
In the Garden has all of the desirable characteristics of Miller's peak impressionist, French-period painting: a comely model elegantly dressed ; a garden-in-full-bloom setting; a colorful palette; the play of light and shadow; and lively, virtuosic brushwork. In it he achieved the highly pleasing decorative effect which fulfills his dictum that “Art's mission is not literary, the telling of a story, but decorative, the conveying of a pleasant optical sensation.”
I believe this painting was exhibited at the Macbeth Gallery in New York City, which held an exhibition of Miller's paintings April 1-20, 1912. A small pamphlet printed by the gallery lists the work as: No. 3 In the Garden. (The works are not illustrated.) Afternoon Tea, mentioned above, was also in that exhibition. From the Macbeth Gallery the painting went to the Worcester Art Museum, which had requested it, along with In the Arbor, for their 1912 Summer Exhibition. The painting was entered in the Worcester museum's registrar's file, but it seems not to have been included in the exhibition, as it is not listed in the exhibition catalogue. Correspondence between the museum and the Macbeth Gallery reveals that the museum director, Philip J. Gentner, felt he would have difficulty including all of the numerous paintings he had requested for the exhibition, and so it seems likely that he chose to exhibit only one painting by Miller – In the Arbor (illustrated in the catalogue).
In the Garden was purchased from the Macbeth Gallery (just before it was packed up to go to Worcester) by Ralph T. King, Esq. This would no doubt have been Ralph Thrall King (1855-1926), a prominent Cleveland, OH businessman and civic leader. Years later the painting was exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art in “American Paintings Owned in Cleveland,” July 3 – September 13, 1920. It appears in an installation photo in the museum's archives.

BEATRICE PARSONS (1870-1955):
BEATRICE PARSONS (1870-1955): BORDERS AT BLICKLING HALL NORFOLK Watercolor on paper signed lower right. With label from Christopher Wood London. 14 x 17 3/4 in. (sight) 22 1/2 x 25 1/2 in. (frame). Notes: Beatrice Parsons painted Lady Lothian's parterre in the first years of the 20th Century. The painting shows foreground plants which are easily identified: a judicious mixture of hardy perennials and colourful annuals obviously chosen for late-summer effects. In 1872 W.A. Nesfield was called in by the Countess of Lothian to lay out a new parterre at the same time that Sir Digby Wyatt completed the walled terrace and steps to the east and the central fountain basin and statues were brought from the ruined Elizabethan mansion Oxnead Hall near by. Nesfield brother-in-law of the architect Anthony Salvin often collaborated with Sir James Barry in so-called Italianate garden style using elaborate patterns of low box hedging to enclose beds of coloured gravels or annuals.
