About the Item

To see our other original Modern British Art, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller". Percy Drake Brookshaw (1907-1993) Marching Band Linocut c. 1930s 30x30 cm Inscribed 'Artist's trial proof' Provenance: the family of the artist, by descent. Brookshaw was born in Southwark, in London, and educated at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a particularly accomplished lithographer, skilled also as a painter in both oil and watercolour. Identifying the former talent, F Gregory Brown - the poster and textile designer - encouraged him to become an illustrator and poster designer. Producing posters for London Transport and Shell, inter alia, between 1928 and 1958, many of his posters depict sporting events. His two posters for the annual University Boat Race are well known and highly sought after, and his wonderful posters often evoke a feeling of movement, whether rowers straining on their oars, or horses or greyhounds racing. In this carefully executed linocut, Brookshaw brings the band members to life with the same skill and enthusiasm he brings to his posters.

  • Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse), 1959
    By Pablo Picasso
    Located in Palo Alto, CA
    Considered to be one of Picasso’s monumental linoleum prints, Pablo Picasso Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse), 1959 is a large-scale artwork that captures the essence of this artist’s innovation and minimalist creativity. His simple lines curve and undulated together to form the characters of the piece: the woman – feminine and robust, the horse – whimsical and characteristic, and the picador – strong and masculine. All three subjects create a triad composition making way for a harmonious and balanced piece. The entire work exudes an air of femininity and mystery, all set against a backdrop of a misty grey helping to create Picasso’s sensual environment of intrigue. Created in 1959, Pablo Picasso Picador debout avec son cheval et une femme (Picador, Woman, and Horse) is a color linocut on Arches paper hand-signed by Pablo Picasso (Malaga, 1881 – Mougins, 1973) in pencil in the lower right margin. Numbered 21/50 in pencil in the lower left margin, this work was printed by Arnéra, Vallauris and published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris.
