Composition with a Figure by Teddy Millington Drake, circa 1963
By Teddy Millington-Drake
Located in London, GB
Oil on canvas, Villa Albrizzi, Veneto, 1963
Teddy Millington-Drake (1932-1994) was a nomad, linguist, bon viveur, aesthete and master gardener, but above all an artist.
Discharged from service and in part inspired by his sister's anecdotes of her travels abroad, Millington-Drake embarked on a painting tour that took him to Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Syria. He then rented a house, the Villa Albrizzi at Este, Veneto in Italy, and became a more frequent painter, particularly now of abstract murals. He befriended Freya Stark, a writer and traveler who lived nearby, and in Venice he became friends with Daisy Fellowes, Peggy Guggenheim, Barbara Hutton and Elsa Maxwell. In Este, he painted continually and more boldly, turning his hand to abstract murals.
He later transformed a neglected Tuscan farmhouse in the village of Poggio which was co-decorated by his friend the designer John Stefanidis. There were vine-hung terraces and a skillfully landscaped garden. A swimming-POOL was built on a shelf cut into the Hillside, so that you felt yourself gliding towards the horizon, suspended in space as you swam. There Millington-Drake worked passionately at all forms of painting. There are haunting large abstracts inspired by Jung, hard-edged acrylic wave paintings and some intriguing semi-calligraphic works on paper based on phrases taken from the works of poets such as Cavafy, Mandelstam and Elizabeth Bishop...

Bertrand Dorny Abstract Modern Painting Circa 1963
By Bertrand Dorny
Located in New York, NY
Stunning and masterfully created abstract oil painting by French artist Bertrand Dorny (1931-2015) circa 1963. He lives in the rich world of color and shapes that are constantly moving.
Dorny’s colors are occasionally in subtle dialogue with nature and are one of several devices that make his visual language accessible to us.
He worked at the ‘Ateliers’ of André Lhote and Johnny Friedlaender. He built his work by deriving accepted techniques such as engraving, collage or folding paper to achieve a personal style in addition to his early paintings.
He also taught at the Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The themes of the walk, the progressing path, the network of forms in space are at the center of his work.
There are many lithographs of his work but rare to find such a pristine oil painting. He's definitely a 20th century artist whose work is under the radar.
Provenance: Estate of Roger Prigent - Malmaison.
Colors may vary due to room lighting. It is found in an original period aluminum frame.
