Banting (John, 1902-1972). Composite, For Social Service, circa 1933 AR * Banting (John, 1902-1972). Composite, For Social Service, circa 1933, cynotype in blue, depicting a surreal image a large rams skull atop a monument, two figures in the background, trimmed to edges, 22.6 x 14.5 cm (8 7/8 x 5 3/4 ins), mounted (32.5 x 24.5 cm) QTY: (1) NOTE: Provenance: Purchased by the current vendor from Alexander Postan in 1973. John Banting was a London born artist initially connected to the Bloomsbury circle. In 1930 he went to Paris where he came in contact with André Breton and the Surrealist movement. Upon his return to London, he started experimenting with a new printing method called the cyanotype process. Banting produced a large number of blueprints from which two main groups can be distinguished: an album of twelve blueprints made in 1931 and a manuscript album entitled For Social Service which included twenty-three blueprints, of which only ten copies were apparently produced in 1933. In 1946, this album was published in facsimile under the title A Blue Book of Coversation.

John BANTING.
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
John BANTING. 12 Blue-Prints. No place [London], 1931-1932. A folio album of 12 cyanotypes: publisher's portfolio in orange half-percale, brown cardboard covers with, on the first, a title printed in capital letters on a paper strip and, on the inner lining, printed on a paper strip "Number", with handwritten numbering. A very rare album, complete with 12 original cyanotypes by John Banting, all signed and justified by the painter. Print run announced at 100 copies, of which only about 15 were actually made: this one numbered 3. Only two or three complete copies are listed, and the highest number seen on the prints is No. 14. John Banting's blue-prints offer images in negative (white on blue): they are printed on white paper sheets mounted on folio sheets (46.6 x 30 cm) of strong brown paper. Each one is signed and justified by the painter. Four of them are also captioned. The captioned plate The Oracle from copy no. 11 of the British Art Center at Yale is printed in reverse. A surrealist album in the footsteps of Max Ernst and Man Ray. "John Banting was the first, and perhaps the only true Surrealist that this country produced. The blueprints that he made from 1931 onwards are extraordinary, both in their imagery and in their technique, which had nothing whatever to do with any tradition of printmaking in this country but was instead derived from Man Ray's photograms and Max Ernst's drawings" (F. Carey & A. Griffiths, Avant-Garde British Printmaking 1914 - 1960, British Museum, London, 1990, p. 90). Born in London, John Banting started out as a graphic artist and theatre set designer. He came to Paris in 1930 and came into contact with André Breton and the Surrealists. A fine copy, complete with the rare original portfolio bearing the title printed on a paper strip on the first board. 12 Blue-Prints. Sans lieu [Londres], 1931-1932. Album in-folio de 12 cyanotypes: portfolio de l'éditeur en demi-percale orange, plats de carton brun avec, sur le premier, titre imprimé en lettres capitales sur une languette de papier et, en doublure intérieure, imprimé sur une languette de papier "Number", avec numérotation manuscrite. Très rare album, complet, de 12 cyanotypes originaux de John Banting, tous signés et justifiés par le peintre. Tirage annoncé à 100 exemplaires dont une quinzaine à peine auraient été effectivement constitués: celui-ci numéro 3. Deux ou trois exemplaires complets seulement sont répertoriés et le numéro le plus élevé vu sur les estampes est le nº 14. Les Blue-prints de John Banting offrent des images en négatif (blanc sur fond bleu): ils sont tirés sur des feuillets de papier blanc montés sur des feuillets in-folio (46,6 x 30 cm) de papier fort brun. Chacun est signé et justifié par le peintre. Quatre d'entre eux sont également légendés. La planche légendée The Oracle de l'exemplaire nº 11 du British Art Center de Yale est imprimé dans un sens inverse. Un album surréaliste dans les pas de Max Ernst et de Man Ray. "John Banting was the first, and perhaps the only true Surrealist that this country produced. The blueprints that he made from 1931 onwards are extraordinary, both in their imagery and in their technique, which had nothing whatever to do with any tradition of printmaking in this country but was instead derived from Man Ray's photograms and Max Ernst's drawings" (F. Carey & A. Griffiths, Avant-Garde British Printmaking 1914 - 1960, British Museum, London, 1990, p. 90). Né à Londres, John Banting a débuté comme graphiste et concepteur de décors de théâtre. Venu à Paris en 1930, il est entré en contact avec André Breton et les surréalistes. Bel exemplaire, complet du rare portfolio original portant le titre imprimé sur une languette de papier sur le premier plat.
