Alfred Daniels RBA RWS (1924-2015) Christ’s College, Cambridge Gouache, watercolour and ink on board 40x56cm (15.7×22 inches). In a hand-finished cream frame. Born in the East End of London, in Bow, Daniels (known as ‘Danny’) was apprenticed to his uncle, a commercial artist based in Chancery Lane. Having served in the RAF during the war, he sent some of his wartime pictures to the Royal College of Art, following which he was accepted to study there. His pictures often have a narrative, often full of movement and people – he was once described as a Lowry for Londoners. Here we see members of the College going about their daily business. He taught during the 1960s at the Hornsey College of Art and then the John Cass School of Art. A member of the Royal Watercolour Society from 1973 and of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1983. His works are in many public collections, including those of the Science Museum, the City of London Corporation and Magdalen College Oxford.

Ross lower right Provenance: Estate of the artist. BIO Arthur Rosenman Ross was a key figure in automotive design at General Motors during America's "Golden Age" of auto design, the 1930's through the 1950s. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago from age 17, exhibiting a special interest for automotive renderings and the female figure. In 1934, he changed his name from Rosenman to Ross, fearing his Jewish ancestry could prejudice his career prospects. At age 20, he turned down job offers from MGM Studios in Hollywood and Duesenberg to work at General Motors alongside the Legendary Harley Earl in 1935.

General Motors played an important role in helping America's aircraft manufacturers preceding and during the war. Just after the war in 1945, Mr. Ross was rewarded by GM, being made Chief Designer of Cadillac, then two years later becoming Chief at Oldsmobile until his retirement in 1959. He was in large part responsible for some of GM's classic Cadillac designs such as the Cadillac Sixty Special, Fleetwood, LaSalle and GM's first concept car, the extraordinary Buick Y-Job. Mr. Ross was an exceptionally charismatic and vivacious man who quite by chance, befriended His idol, Salvador Dali at GM in 1955. They talked about art, cars and girls late into the evening, according to his son, Carter Ross. He had a gift in rendering the erotic arts...
