Sir Kyffin Williams Paintings
British
Kyffin was born at Llangefni on Anglesey. His bank manager father and his mother were both the children of Church of England rectors on the island. Anglesey's country parishes, its farmland and the stone walls that defined his early world would define his drawings. Family tradition dictated that John - for that was how he was known until the need arose for a more painterly name - and his elder brother, Richard, should be sent away, first to prep school and then to Shrewsbury School. At 18, work with a firm of Pwllheli land agents gave him an even greater familiarity with the area and when a clear day dawned a vista of Cardigan Bay sweeping down to St David's Head opened up before him.
Joining the 6th Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers as a Lieutenant in 1937 offered new prospects, but the onset of epilepsy destroyed his budding army career and it was a slightly disillusioned young man who enrolled at the Slade School, evacuated for the war years to Oxford. According to Kyffin, his tutors mainly despaired of him, but the encouragement he received from Allan Gwynne Jones would establish the tenor of his teaching at Highgate School, where Kyffin was senior art master from 1944 until 1973. Royal Academicians Anthony Green and the late Patrick Procktor were to pay tribute to his influence, and composers John Tavener and John Rutter were pupils too. Yet, throughout his London teaching years, Kyffin's heart remained in Wales, and he returned to paint at every opportunity1

1950s French Bold Mid-Century Ink Drawing of a Decorative Interior Scene
By Josine Vignon
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Drawing of a Decorative Interior Scene
Josine Vignon (French 1922-2022) ink painting on artist paper
artist paper: 14 x 10 inches
good condition
Provenance: from the artists estate, France
Josine Vignon (1922-2022) was a French artist living on the Rue Beautreillis in the Marais district of Paris. She painted with a beautiful style, largely influenced by the Impressionist and Post Impressionist techniques, but adding her own distinctive style and technique to each painting. Vignon''s works carry tremendous energy and enthusiasm, often painted with very thick impasto oil creating a rich and diverse texture, as well as painting with a tremendous palette range of vibrant and joyful colours. She captured her home city of Paris, as well as Provence and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. We consider her one of the most talented and significant ''undiscovered'' artists of her time.
Description: This striking ink drawing captures an eclectic mid-century interior, featuring intricate patterns and bold textures that evoke a sense of dynamism and style. Central to the composition is a sculptural table held aloft by two stylized human figures, topped with a decorative pitcher. Surrounding the centerpiece are textured furnishings, including leopard-print fabrics, striped curtains...
