DETAIL: The founder of the Anglo-French Art Centre in London and a distinguished survivor from the 1930s Parisian art world. His work ranged from luminous colourscapes of France, Morocco and India to sensuous charcoal nudes. All were characterised by a wholehearted zest for life. Alf was born in London and arrived in Paris in 1938 as a young art student. There he met the leading Modernists, danced to jazz at the Bal Nègre, and married Nita Bassetti, a model who had sat for Matisse. When the second world war broke out, he was painting in Provence – and as an British Jew feared for his safety. He and his wife escaped by night to Switzerland, swimming with their baby across a river. Together, they had three sons.
In 1945 Alf used an inheritance to set up the Anglo-French Art Centre, a visionary art school that brought cutting-edge French painters and sculptors to London to teach. In the bleak post-blitz city, it revived the optimism and internationalism of prewar Modernism and kept the avant garde alive. Lecturers included Germaine Richier, Jean Lurçat and André Lhote from France, and new British talents such as Henry Moore, Francis Bacon and Graham Sutherland.There were avant-garde plays staged at the centre too, including one by Gertrude Stein at which Alf met his second wife, Betty Marcus, who was the costumier. Another couple who met there were my parents, Stafford and Anna-Lisa Lorie, students who then moved to Paris to become painters. The centre's achievements were celebrated in an exhibition at the Boundary Gallery in London in 2010.
The centre closed in 1951 due to a lack of funds. Alf had drained his inheritance and the Arts Council had withdrawn its grant. The place had been ahead of its time. Alf returned to Paris, where he and Betty lived on a sailing barge moored by the Pont Alexandre III. One night, sailing across the North Sea, it sprang a leak and sank. They were rescued, but lost the art collection on board: paintings, sculptures, bronzes, lithographs of all the artists who had exhibited at the centre, as well as a hundred of Alf's own works, ready for his first exhibition in France.
Undaunted, they rebuilt a medieval farmhouse in the Luberon in 1955 and rented Moïse Kisling's old studio in Paris, while Alf's reputation steadily grew. Always ahead of the curve, in 1976 they renovated a derelict engineering workshop in the shabby quarter of Ménilmontant, which today is Paris's equivalent of Hoxton. Generations of admirers and friends visited this inspiring home, with its courtyard covered in vines and its atelier cluttered with a lifetime's paintings. It was a place where you could see and believe in the power of art and of artists.

Note:
Theo Meier arrived in Bali in 1936 with the intention of going on to Tahiti where he had been before. However Bali turned out to be the paradise he had been searching for in his dreams and he had no desire any more to move elsewhere. Bali at that time was still a very traditional place where society lived according to an acient religious system and in a luscious tropical setting the modern world was ignored. Here he met Walter Spies...

The light I observed everywhere was of a special quality, fluorescent blue, shone from nowhere but radiated from every point, oddly with great depth and intensity. The light in an entirely different dimension came from nowhere and went nowhere shimmering with the glow of a bright blue jewel. The most important thing I discovered was of being omnipresent and able to understand everything at the same time, yes I could fathom creation completely.
Auke Sonnega, born March 9, 1910 in Leeuwarden, known as the painter, primarily of young Balinese men and women.
Originally raised in the reformed denomination, the parents of Auke apparently practised theosophy and their children, including Auke were taught these principles. The talent for drawing revealed itself at an early stage which in 1926 lead to a 4-year study of textile design at the Academy for Art and Craft in Amsterdam.
He completed the academy in 1930 and worked in a carpet factory in Twente until 1934 and then followed in his sister Aafje’s footsteps leaving the Netherlands to go to the Dutch East Indies where in 1935 he started working as a graphic designer with an advertising bureau in Batavia. He was able to travel through Java and Bali on the motorbike that he brought with him from Europe, and was paid for his travelogue, enhanced with his own photo’s which appeared in several Dutch newspapers and magazines.
In the 1930’s two Europeans, Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet...
