Architectural Perspective Sketches for Thomas Lumley Memorial
45x55cm
Pen and ink with wash and heightening in white
Provenance: from the artist's estate
Lumley Castle was built in 1389 and today is a four star hotel that belongs to the Earl of Scarborough. Thomas Lumley was an eighteenth century soldier and statesman, and the third Earl of Scarborough.
Louis Osman (30 January 1914 - 11 April 1996) was an architect, artist, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. Few people matched his creations as a goldsmith, and consequently he was chosen to make the crown for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1968. Many of his other works are in public collections in the UK and worldwide.
After Hele's school in Exeter he studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture - part of University College London - from 1931. Also attending the Slade, he left the Bartlett being awarded the top first, which brings with it the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA. Subsequently he trained with Sir Albert Richardson (who lived in a large Georgian house in Northamptonshire in which he refused to have electric light; his wife was endlessly patient with his eccentricities).
Serving during the Second World War as a Major in the Intelligence Corps, he was a specialist in Air Photography and served on the Beach Reconnaissance Committee prior to the June 1944 Normandy 'D-Day' landings.
Following the war he was busy as an architect, works including for Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeterm, Ely and Lichfield Cathedrals. Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his own folly, the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire - which was given to the National Trust in 1981 when Osman was not able to keep the tenancy any longer.
At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1974 he created the exhibition celebrated by this lavishly illustrated catalogue. His 1969 crown for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales was on display, together with many other items of his own creation, and also by other silversmiths such as Malcolm Green, Philip Noaks and Stephen Nunn, also acknowledging the work of Desmond Clenn-Murphy, Peter Musgrove and Christopher Philipson in his own works.
In 1976 he made the gold enamelled casket that holds the copy of the Magna Carta on view in the United States Capitol, Washington, DC

Louis Osman
Louis Osman was born on January 30, 1914, in Exeter. He was an architect, artist, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. Very few people matched his creations as a goldsmith and consequently, Osman was chosen to make the crown for the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969. Many of his other works are in public collections in the UK and worldwide. After Hele's School in Exeter, he studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture which was part of University College London, in 1931. Osman later attended the Slade School of Art and he left the Bartlett and was awarded the top first and won the Donaldson Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Subsequently, he trained with Sir Albert Richardson. Serving during the Second World War as a Major in the Intelligence Corps, Osman was a specialist in Air Photography and served on the Beach Reconnaissance Committee before the June 1944 Normandy landings. Following the war, he was busy as an architect and worked for Westminster Abbey, Lincoln, Exeter, Ely and Lichfield Cathedrals. During the 1970s, Osman and his wife lived at Canons Ashby House in Northamptonshire, which was given to the National Trust in 1981 when he was not able to keep the tenancy any longer. At Canons Ashby, he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1974, he created an exhibition celebrated by a lavishly illustrated catalog. Osman's 1969 crown for the investiture of the Prince of Wales was on display, together with many other items of his creation and also by other silversmiths such as Malcolm Appleby, Philip Noakes and Stephen Nunn and also acknowledging the work of Desmond Clen-Murphy, Peter Musgrove and Chris Philipson in his works. In 1976, he made the gold enameled casket that holds a copy of the Magna Carta on view in the United States Capitol, Washington, DC. Osman died on April 11, 1996.

Israeli Modernist Watercolor Painting Jerusalem Landscape Bezalel School Avniel
By Mordechai Avniel
Located in Surfside, FL
Watercolor painting of Old City of Jerusalem
MORDECHAI AVNIEL
Minsk, Belarus, b. 1900, d. 1989
Mordecai Dickstein (later Avniel) was born in 1900 in Minsk, present-day Belarus. He studied fine arts in Yekaterinburg, Russia (1913–19) and at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (1923). Avniel immigrated to Palestine in 1921 where he first worked as a pioneer in citrus plantations near Petah Tikva. In 1923, at the urging of Boris Schatz, he went to Jerusalem to further his art studies at Bezalel. He later taught painting and sculpture at the school, and served a term as director of the Small Sculpture Section of the Sculpture Department (1924–28). From 1935 on, Avniel lived in Haifa. Avniel was also a lawyer and a founding partner of the Haifa firm Avniel, Salomon & Company.
Avniel regularly showed his work in group exhibitions of the Painters and Sculptors' Association of Israel. He was awarded the Herman Struck Prize (1952), Tenth Anniversary Prize for Watercolours, Ramat Gan (1958), Histadrut Prize (1961), and First Prize Haifa Municipality (1977). He represented Israel at the 1958 Venice Biennale and the 1962 International Art Seminar at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Avniel was a member of the Artists' Colony in Safed and maintained a studio on Mount Carmel.
Mordechai Avniel is best known for his deft and singular landscape work.
His works are held in numerous museums and collections both in Israel and abroad, including the Metropolitan Museum, New York and the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, PA. Avniel's manipulations of light and colour share much with those of compatriot artists Shimshon Holzman and Joseph Kossonogi.
