Provenance:The Fine Art Society Ltd., London (by December 1937) Exhibited:London, The Fine Art Society Ltd., 1937, no. 23London, The Fine Art Society Ltd., Memorial Exhibition, 1980-81, no. 33Literature:Diana Souhami, Gluck, Her Biography, London,1988, p.175 In February 1937 Gluck and Nesta Obermer visited Southease, a village in East Sussex in the valley of the river Ouse. The pair had a picnic from the car as Gluck began painting the vast landscape. Gluck captured the point at which the river changes its course and flows onwards to the sea. Gluck designed and painted many of her frames including the one used in the present lot. Gluck's distinctive 3 stepped symmetrical painted panels were designed to match the colour of the wall on which they were hung. It was also encouraged that the outer step could be covered in the same wallpaper to match the walls. This effect was patented in 1932 and used in all of her subsequent exhibitions. The concept became known as 'The Gluck Room'.

Gluck (British, 1895-1976) The Old Stable, Bolton House, Hampstead, 1930 oil on canvas in Artist's frame signed Gluck and dated (lower right) 10 x 8 inches. Provenance: The Fine Art Society, London Exhibited: London, England, The Fine Art Society, Diverse Paintings, November 1932, no. 23 (as The Old Studio) London, England, The Fine Art Society, Gluck, April 30 - May 18, 1973, no. 21 Literature: Diana Souhami, Gluck, 1895-1978: Her Biography, New York University Press, New York, 1989, pp. 78, illus. Amy De La Haye and Martin Pel, Gluck: Art and Identity, Yale University Press, New Haven, 2017, pp. 119, 130 Lot Essay: No prefix, suffix, or quotes. - Gluck Gluck (British, 1895-1978), born Hannah Gluckstein to an aristocratic family, shed their name down to a single syllable as they crafted their identity as a pioneering figure in British modern art. Known for their strikingly androgenous appearance and subversive fashion, they used their work to explore themes of crucial importance to their identity -- famously through reflections of gender and sexuality through vibrant biomorphic and geometric forms -- but also, here, a space held particularly dear to them. Though disapproving of both their personal and professional endeavors, Gluck's father bought them a home with its own studio in 1926, a three-story red brick Georgian building called Bolton House in Hampstead Village, of which The Old Stable, Bolton House, Hampstead, was painted. This painting represents a unique bookend to Gluck's storied exhibition history. Retained by the artist throughout their career, it was exhibited in two major solo exhibitions with The Fine Art Society, first in 1932 and then in 1973. For the first show, Gluck-a trailblazer in all aspects-- was able to patent their "Gluck Frame" for the exhibition. Designed in three tiers and specially produced by the artist's approved frame-maker, Louis Koch, the frames gave the illusion that they were an extension of a room's architecture, becoming an integral part of Modernist and Art Deco interiors. 1932 also marked the beginning of Gluck's romantic and collaborative relationship with society florist and designer Constance Spry, after the pair was introduced by a mutual friend. Spry decorated the Fine Art Society galleries for Gluck's exhibition, the paneled walls of each room featuring Spry's arrangements. Their relationship ended in 1936; Gluck tossed letters, diaries, and paintings into a bonfire at Bolton House. Gluck rejected forenames and honorifics, once resigning from an art society who referred to them as "Miss Gluck" on their letterhead. Homosexuality was illegal for men and unclassified for women at this time. Gluck's work featured bouquets and flora, spellbinding landscapes, and portraits – frequently of their lovers – and these emotional, intimate depictions challenged a society that scorned the very idea, becoming a distinctive voice in early modern British art. Affiliating themselves with no artistic school or movement, Gluck showed only in solo exhibitions, before abruptly stopping their practice at the height of their fame to wage a "paint war" to improve the quality of available materials. After a long and all-consuming campaign lobbying for the use of cold-pressed oil and hand-ground pigments, Gluck succeeded in persuading the British Standards Institution to create a new standard for oil paints. They returned to painting in their seventies, mounting a well-received solo show in 1973 of fifty-two paintings spanning their entire oeuvre, their first since 1944 and also their last, in which The Old Stable, Bolton House, Hampstead was included. Even with a relatively small body of work throughout their life, Gluck's enduring influence on the art historical cannon through their unapologetic embrace of queer identity, particularly through the championing of their own identity, cannot be overstated. In this example, a small-scale landscape, invitingly cropped and telescopically focused with the help of the Gluck Frame, offers a brief glimpse of the personal life and identity of this fascinating artist at home.

Lucie-Smith, Art Deco Painting, Oxford, 1990, pp. 106-110, illustrated. EXHIBITION London, Fine Art Society, Gluck, November-December 1937, no. 28. London, Fine Art Society, Gluck, April-May 1973, no. 31. NOTES Gluck's exhibition in the autumn of 1937 at the Fine Art Society was, as a result of her mother's remarkably persuasive powers, attended by two Queens; Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, each having a page to Herself in Gluck's Visitors' Book. Her next exhibition at the Fine Art Society, held in 1973 five years before her death, was her swansong. The present work is sold in the artist's own frame, a style she designed in 1932 and of which she was extremely proud, considering it suitable to become part of any wall in a modern room. She found heavy gold frames out of place and created her own model, as she explains, 'This consisted of steps, imitating the costly panelled effect for setting pictures in a wall, but steps of such character that the usual essence of all frames was reversed and instead of the outer edge dominating, it was made to die away into the wall and cease to be a separate feature' (Gluck, Notes on The Gluck Frame, undated). (See D. Souhami, Gluck her biography, London, 1988, p. 103).
