EXHIBITED 20TH C. WILLOUGHBY
EXHIBITED 20TH C. WILLOUGHBY PHOTO OF ELISABETH FRINK**Originally Listed At $2500**
Bob Willoughby (American, 1927-2009). "Elisabeth Frink, Sculptress in her Chelsea, London Studio - 1956" - silver gelatin print, printed January 12, 1978, signed, numbered & annotated. An important photograph of British sculptor Elisabeth Frink in her Chelsea, London studio by American photographer Bob Willoughby. In the photo, Frink stands in profile, turned to her right. On the wall behind her are several sketches (presumably studies for sculptures), a wonderful painted handprint, a rendering of a mesmerizing visage staring out at the viewer as well as a postcard depicting a trio of Renaissance busts directly behind Frink's head, a collection of hanging frames at the center, and a large-scale painting of Christ. Size: 12" L x 16" W (30.5 cm x 40.6 cm)
Elisabeth Frink and Bob Willoughby were good friends in the 1950s and admired one another's work. Not only did Bob take this special photograph of Elisabeth, he also asked her to create a bronze bust of his likeness finding Frink's work to be "powerful and important." Frink's bronze bust of Willoughby is also available for sale.
Bob Willoughby has been described as "…the man who virtually invented the photojournalistic motion picture still" by Popular Photography. A pioneer of 20th century photography, he is best known for being a "link between the filmmakers and major magazines of the time, such as Life and Look" (source: The Bob Willoughby Photo Archive website). Willoughby studied film at the University of Southern California (USC) Cinema Department and design at the Kahn Institute of Art. He also apprenticed with famous Hollywood photographers such as Paul Hesse, Glenn Embree, and Wallace Seawell. Willoughby documented a golden era of cinema, shooting on the sets of A Star is Born, The Graduate, Rosemary's Baby, My Fair Lady, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to name a few. In addition to capturing such Hollywood legends like Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn, Willoughby had an immense appreciation for jazz and created a wonderful series portraying jazz musicians. Furthermore, his honors were numerous and his work has been collected internationally by esteemed museums and institutions. According to the Bob Willoughby Photo Archive, "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood honored Willoughby with a major retrospective exhibition of his work. He was awarded the Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Still Photography in New York in 2004. His photographs are in the permanent collections of The National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.; The National Portrait Gallery, London; The National Museum of Photography, Bradford, UK; Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris; The Museum of Modern Art, Film Department, New York; The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Beverly Hills; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Tate Gallery Collection, London; Theatre de la Photographie et de l'Image, Nice; and Musee de la Photographie, Charleroi, Belgium."
Dame Elisabeth Frink discovered her love for Renaissance sculpture as a teenager when, being the daughter of an army officer, she lived in Trieste, Italy and traveled to Venice. She attended the Guildford School of Art and the Chelsea School of Art, studying under John Berger (1926-2017), Ceri Richards (1903-1971), and Julian Trevelyan (1910-1988). Frink's work came to be associated with artists Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) and Kenneth Armitage (1916-2002) who were known as The Geometry of Fear sculptors (a term coined by critic Herbert Read). "These supposedly angst-ridden artists bridged the gap between 1930s geometric idealism and post-war existentialism." Frink associated with contemporary artists Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, John Minton, and Michael Andrews in London pubs during the evenings and "held wild parties in her shared flat in Chelsea" (source: Christie's "Artist guide: Elisabeth Frink" - 14 September 2020). Frink's sculptures are on view throughout the world. These include her famous "Warhorse" at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire as well as "Eagle" which was commissioned as a lectern for Coventry Cathedral.
Please note: According to the Bob Willoughby Photo Archive, only three of these photographs have ever been printed. The other two are in the permanent collections of The Tate Gallery in London and the National Portrait Gallery in London. In addition, this photograph has been shown in numerous gallery exhibitions over the years.

MARGARET MELLIS INK PAINTING WITH
MARGARET MELLIS INK PAINTING WITH CIGARETTEMargaret Mellis (Scottish born in China, 1914-2009). Ink painting with collaged cigarette, n.d. Inscribed "El Cigarillo y el Arte, Despues de Ferryfrost / London Oct. MM MA" at lower right. A fascinating piece by Margaret Mellis featuring two long-lashed eyes delineated in indigo blue ink, the eye to the right presenting the word "ART" on the sclera, as well as an actual cigarette collaged to the left of the composition with lyrical passages of yellow and pink ink suggesting light radiating from the cigarette butt, swirling plumes of smoke, and a heart surrounding the "ART" eye. The inscription below reads, "El Cigarillo y el Arte, Despues de Ferryfrost" suggesting enjoying a cigarette after partaking in a "Ferryfrost" - perhaps Mellis' alternative word for sex. A whimsical artwork by Margaret Mellis mounted under glass in a custom frame. Size: 5.875" L x 7.875" W (14.9 cm x 20 cm)
About the artist: "Born in 1914, in China, Margaret Mellis and her family returned to Scotland soon after her birth. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art, where she was taught by SJ Peploe and WG Gillies, and learnt alongside Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and William Gear. In 1933, she went to Paris to study under Andre Lhote, followed by another visit in 1937. In between, in 1936, she met Adrian Stokes; the couple married in 1938. Together, they moved to St Ives, Cornwall, arguably heralding the next wave of artists to the area, with Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Naum Gabo, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, and Roger Hilton. Before this, she studied for a time at the Euston Road School, before fleeing to Cornwall following the outbreak of war. This move to St Ives coincided with Mellis exploring collage and relief. Created from found materials and paper, these collages were exhibited in New Movements in Art, at the London Museum in 1942. In 1946, following her divorce from Stokes, Mellis met the artist Francis Davison, with whom she moved to London, and then to Cap d' Antibes, in 1947. They married in 1948, and relocated to Walberswick, and later Syleham, Norfolk, in 1950, and then to Suffolk. For much of this time, though both continued to create artworks, neither was widely exhibited in London - they were geographically and, at times, conceptually, distant from life in the capital. This began to change, after Mellis embarked upon a series of large abstract paintings known as 'colour structures'. These were exhibited in London, with solo shows at Grabowski Gallery, in 1969, and then at Basil Jacobs Gallery, in 1972. From both shows, Mellis sold work to important public collections; the Government Art Collection bought a painting from the Basil Jacobs show, in 1972, while a painting had earlier been purchased by the Arts Council of Great Britain, in 1969.
In 1978, Mellis started creating driftwood reliefs, which she found while walking along the local coast at Southwold, and likened the creative process to Surrealist automatism. In the mid-'80s, Mellis was included in several high-profile exhibitions, including the important survey show of St Ives 1939-64, staged at the Tate Gallery, London, in 1985, and later Scottish Art since 1900, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. In 1987, the Redfern Gallery staged a retrospective exhibition, from which the Tate and Arts Council bought recent driftwood reliefs. The exhibition was also attended by a young Damien Hirst; intrigued by the driftwood constructions in particular, Hirst wrote to the artist, and was invited to visit Mellis in Southwold, forming a lasting friendship. Mellis was part of the Tate St Ives' inaugural exhibition in 1993, and was the subject of a retrospective that opened at City Art Centre, Edinburgh, and toured the UK, in 1997. Recent exhibitions include Modern Scottish Women 1885-1965, at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, and a joint-show with Damien Hirst at Pier Arts Centre, Orkney. In 2018, her work featured in an exhibition inspired by Virginia Woolf and her writings, at Tate St Ives." (Redfern Gallery website)

EXHIBITED MARGARET MELLIS PASTEL
EXHIBITED MARGARET MELLIS PASTEL - "BIG BURDOCK LEAF"Margaret Mellis (Scottish born in China, 1914-2009). "Big Burdock Leaf" pastel on envelope, n.d. Initialed "M.M." twice at lower left and once at lower right. Exhibition label on verso. A wonderful pastel composition on a deconstructed paper envelope by Margaret Mellis mounted behind glass in a custom frame. The composition is true to its title, depicting a bouquet of colorful flowers displayed in a glass vase before a massive Burdock leaf. All is delineated in Mellis' signature expressive style, and a label on the verso indicates that this piece was exhibited at Gainsborough's House Sudbury Suffolk, August 22 to October 18, 1992. In addition to Mellis' undeniable artistry, unique style and format, the theme of this piece is particularly symbolic as Burdock is associated with abundance and has been used in rituals to bring about vitality, prosperity, and virility. Size (artwork): 12" L x 15.5" W (30.5 cm x 39.4 cm) Size (frame): 19.2" L x 22.25" W (48.8 cm x 56.5 cm)
