    Franciszka Themerson, British/Polish 1907-1988 - Untitled, 1964; ink on paper, signed and dated

    Est: £700 - £900

    Franciszka Themerson, British/Polish 1907-1988 - Untitled, 1964; ink on paper, signed and dated lower left 'Themerson 64', 64.5 x 52.7 cm: together with a first edition copy of 'Professor MMAA's Lecture' and a paperback edition of 'Cardinal Polatuo' both printed by Gaberbocchus Press and written by Stefan Themerson, the artist's husband (3) (ARR) Provenance: gifted to the owner directly by the artist Note: there is copy of a letter from the artist to the original owner of the work, dated the 10th October 1966. This is a brilliant example of Themerson’s work, demonstrating her precise, confident use of line and endless playfulness. Treading a unique line between figuration and abstraction, Themerson was a central figure in Post-War European art, alongside her contemporaries Jean Dubuffet, Joan Miro and Magda Cordell. Themerson worked across media, creating paintings, illustrations and experimental films alongside her husband, the writer Stefan Themerson. During her lifetime she had major solo exhibitions at Gallery One in 1957, Marjorie Parr Gallery in 1965 and a major retrospective at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1975, and her work is in major collections including the Tate and the Arts Council.

    FRANCISZKA THEMERSON (POLISH 1907-1988) I Looked Homeward I Saw No Angel, 1958 oil on canvas 56 x 46 cm (22 x 18 1/8 in.) signed lower right; artist`s label on verso PROVENANCE Collection of Bart N. Stephens, Cultural Attache of the American Embassy in Warsaw, Poland, 1963-1965 LOT NOTES Bart N. Stephens spent several decades as a cultural affairs officer in Europe and Asia, during which time he was stationed in post-War Warsaw as a Cultural Attache for some years during the 60s. As Stephens writes in his essay Where Shall We Hang It? Notes on Collecting Polish Art, it was in Warsaw which had arisen Phoenix-like from the war`s inferno, [that he and his wife, an artist herself,] first became involved in the art scene and began collecting original art. [Discovering] an alive, talented, and varied community of artists in Poland. Coming into contact with the works by, and often with the artists themselves, Jan Cybis, Aleksander Kobzdej, and many other leading figures of the 1960s and 70s, Stephens at times found himself bidding on the same works as the Museum of Modern Art (as in the case of Nucleus by Zbignew Makowski). Polish painting was then seen as the ``new frontier`` of European art, with many foreign dealers waking up to its allure, and at times buying the contents of an artist`s studio outright. The Stephens collection thus presents a mid-century capsule of some of PolandÕs greatest modernists, with many of the works being eventually exhibited or included in European and American publications and exhibitions.
