About the Item

Standing Figure, Oil Painting by Peter Kinley 1926-1988, circa 1960s Additional information: Medium: Oil and pencil 24 x 18 cm 9 1/2 x 7 1/8 in Provenance Estate of the Artist Peter Kinley was a painter of near-abstract landscape and figure subjects. He was born in Vienna and came to England in 1938, his father was Jewish and the family was forced to leave after the Anschluss in 1938. He was sent to Lytham St Anne’s and was fostered by a Catholic family; his parents were interned in France. Kinley served in the Army from 1944-8 and then studied at Düsseldorf Academy 1948-9 and at St Martin's School of Art 1949-53. He exhibited in the 'Six Young Contemporaries' exhibition at Gimpel Fils in 1951 and 1953 and was influenced by the de Staël exhibition in London in 1953. Kinley's first one-man show was in London at Gimpel Fils in 1954 and in New York at Paul Rosenberg & Co. in January 1961. He studied at Düsseldorf Academy and later at St Martin’s School of Art, where he also taught. His knowledge of Islamic art and architecture led, in the early 1960s, to an interest in other Eastern cultures, especially Indian. He began to collect Indian paintings and artefacts, and Indian systems of colour and composition bore a correspondence to his own search for a language in which objects (people, houses, aeroplanes) could be expressed with all the clarity of an image, but with no loss of subtlety. His work is published in Mary Chamot, Dennis Farr and Martin Butlin, 'The Modern British Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture', London 1964. He left London in 1970 to teach at Bath Academy, and his work began to reflect his more rural existence. He saw his own work as being figurative, not in the 19th Century sense of realism or naturalism, but as based on observation of the subject. Kinley died in September 1988. Artwork by Kinley features in public collections including the Tate, Arts Council, Albright, Buffalo, Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney.

Painting, November, Oil on Board Painting by Robert Sadler, 1957 Additional information: Medium: Oil on board 48 x 61 in 121.9 x 154.9 cm Signed; titled on support bars (William) Robert Sadler produced abstract works in varying sizes with a spare poise and strong use of colour. The son of a noted racehorse trainer, Sadler was born at Falmouth House (now demolished) at the northern edge of Newmarket, Suffolk. By the age of fourteen he was drawing and painting aeroplanes, horses, houses and landscapes. After studying at Eastbourne College and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he read Mechanical Engineering, in 1930 he joined the Royal Air Force as a pilot. In 1942, whilst posted to the Air Ministry as Director of Plans, he attended art school in London and spent the following year in Turkey on special duties where he lectured at the Turkish Air Staff College and painted and rode race horses. At the end of the war he returned to the UK and took up the post of Station Commander at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. In 1947 he moved to Denmark as Air Attache to the British Embassy in Copenhagen where he attended art school and two years later, whilst Vice-President of the RAF Officers' Selection Board, set-up a studio in Stockbridge whilst attending art school in Winchester. In 1953 he moved to the USA to take up the post as representative on the NATO Joint Chiefs of Staff Intelligence Committee during which period he attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC where he first encountered the work of the American Abstract Expressionists. Returning to the UK in 1955 he moved back to Newmarket, having retired from the RAF 'to devote the rest of my life to painting.' He attended Heatherley's School of Fine Art in London, Cambridge Technical College and became a member of the Winchester Art Society and the Cambridge Society of Painters & Sculptors. His first one-man show was at Swaffham Prior, Cambridge and from then until 1963 he lived and painted in a largely abstract expressionist style influenced by the Ecole de Paris Tachisme of Poliakoff and de Stael and by the contemporary British work of Peter Lanyon, William Scott, Bryan Wynter...
