About the Item

’Girl’ By Reginald Butler Medium - Lithograph Signed - Yes Edition - AP Size - 650mm x 490mm Date - 1968 Colour of print may not be accurate when viewed on a monitor. Reginald Cotterell Butler 1913-1981 Sculptor, born in Buntingford, Hertfordshire. He trained as an architect, practising under the name of Cottrell Butler, 1936-50 and during this period he was also a lecturer at the Architectural Association, 1937-39 and in 1937 he was elected an Associate of the RIBA. Predominately untutored as a sculptor, he did attend life-classes at Chelsea School of Art. After working as a village blacksmith as a conscientious objector, at Iping in Sussex 1941-45, he took up sculpture and in 1947 became assistant to Henry Moore. In 1949, he held his first solo exhibition at the Hanover Gallery, London and the following year he was awarded a Gregory Fellowship at Leeds University for a three-year tenure. In 1952, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, the same year that he won a competition for a monument to the Unknown Political Prisoner. His original maquette (now destroyed) was enlarged into a working model, though the actual monument, intended to be over 300ft high, was never executed. His series of iron sculptures fashioned during the 1950’s condensed the human figure to simple linear forms. His later modelled sculpture dealt compulsively with the female figure some the drawing being reproduced in Motif. A Retrospective exhibition was held at the Tate Gallery two years after his demise and since his death, his work has been seen in group exhibitions including a mixed sculpture show at the Grosvenor Gallery in 2007. Butler's work which was occasionally caste by Pangolin Editions is represented in the collection of Aberdeen Art Gallery, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC and the Tate Gallery, London. He taught at the Slade School of Art where he became Head of Sculpture, a position he held until 1980.

  • The Dance. A Lithograph by Paul Delvaux. 1969
    By Paul Delvaux
    Located in Llanbrynmair, GB
    ’The Dance’ By Paul Delvaux Medium - Lithograph Edition - 8/75 Signed - Yes Size - 360mm x 460mm Date - 1969 Condition - Excellent. 10 out of 10. Colour of print may not be accurate when viewed on a monitor. Paul Delvaux was a Belgian painter noted for his dream-like scenes of women, classical architecture, trains and train stations, and skeletons, often in combination. He is often considered a surrealist, although he only briefly identified with the Surrealist movement. He was influenced by the works of Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte, but developed his own fantastical subjects and hyper-realistic styling, combining the detailed classical beauty of academic painting with the bizarre juxtapositions of surrealism. Throughout his long career, Delvaux explored "Nude and skeleton, the clothed and the unclothed, male and female, desire and horror, eroticism and death – Delvaux's major anxieties in fact, and the greater themes of his later work. Delvaux was born on 23 September 1897 in Antheit (now part of Wanze) in the Belgian province of Liège. His parents lived in Brussels, but his mother went to her own mother's home to have her first child. The birthplace house would later be destroyed by fire, in 1940. The father was Jean Delvaux, a prosperous barrister at the Court of Appeal Brussels. The mother was the musician Laure Jamotte, who became a strong, dominant presence in his life, directing, controlling, and repressing his childhood and adolescent desires. The young Delvaux studied Greek and Latin, and absorbed the fiction of Jules Verne and the poetry of Homer's Odyssey. His artwork was to be greatly influenced by these readings, starting with his earliest drawings showing mythological scenes. His music lessons were conducted in the school's museum room, where a human skeleton in a glass cabinet was always present. From 1910 to 1916, he studied Classics at the Atheneum of Saint-Gilles, where he was a middling or average student. Upon his graduation, his parents got him an office job with a shipping company in Brussels. It was soon evident that he had no skills or interests in business or law, and he was grudgingly allowed to study architecture at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts despite his ambition to become a painter. In 1916, he started at the Académie, initially learning the basics of architecture and perspective drawing. He was then disqualified due to his weakness in mathematics, and dropped out after his first year Delvaux was worried about his future career, and passed the time by copying postcards. His mother advised him to paint from nature, and in 1919 he produced his first watercolors, some scenic vistas. On a family vacation in Zeebrugge in 1919, he met by chance the painter Franz Courtens...
