1917
About the Item
Charcoal on paper, signed and dated (lower right), 33cm x 24cm, (66cm x 56cm framed). The work is framed behind UV glass and stepped gilded frame.
Bortnyik was a painter and graphic designer, whose work was greatly influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Constructivism. In 1922 he moved to Weimar, Germany and became connected to the Bauhaus. When he moved back to Hungary he founded an art school in Budapest, where he followed Bauhaus principles. He was also the director of Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts (1949–1956). In this wonderful self-portrait, as well as the intensity of the main subject, by referencing cubism and constructivist figures in the back, the artist is aligning himself with these modernist movements.

- Studies of Man with Arms RaisedLocated in London, GBCharcoal on paper, 56cm x 38cm, (79cm x 60cm framed). Provenance: The Artist’s sister. From the mid-1940s to the early 1950s Colquhoun was considered one of the leading artists of his generation. Along with that of Robert MacBryde, another artist and Colquhoun’s partner, his work was regularly shown at the Lefevre Gallery in London. This early work is likely to be a drawing from when Colquhoun was at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1930s. Known as the ‘Two Roberts’, Colquhoun and MacBryde met at the Glasgow School of Art in 1932 and lived together until Colquhoun’s death in 1962. The pair also exhibited in several group shows at the Lefevre Gallery, including one in February 1946, alongside Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, Bacon and Freud. Works were bought by the Arts Council, the British Council, the Contemporary Art Society and the Imperial War Museum. Major art patrons added their work to their collections, including Sir Kenneth Clark...Category
