Henk Helmantel was born in 1945 and trained at the Academy Minerva in Groningen between 1961-1965. In 1961 he settled back in his home village of Westeremden in the Netherlands and set about painting professionally. Helmantel is considered one of the Northern Realists and concentrates chiefly on producing still lifes and also interiors, usually of high Gothic or Romanesque architecture. All his paintings are executed with a sublime detail and an implied tranquillity, creating an unmistakeable style that conjures to mind the works of the Netherlandish painters working during the 17th century. The fastidious and brilliant attention to detail which is afforded to the often simple and mundane artefacts of his still lifes engenders the paintings with a timeless and elevated significance, that is seldom matched in the modern tradition of painting, and an equal to a great many of the Dutch old masters.

| Edith Lawrence | Born in Surrey in 1890, Edith Lawrence was a painter, designer, printmaker and teacher. She attended the Slade School of Art from 1910-14, where she was a prizewinning student. She went on to spend a period of time in St. Ives and returned to the Slade in 1916 where she studied under the Canadian born artist Percyval Tudor Hart and also began exhibiting at the Royal Academy and New English Art Club. In 1917 she took up a teaching position at Runston Hill School and in 1920 she met Claude Flight, the founder of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art. In 1925 she moved into Claude Flight's studio and the two shared an exhibition of textiles and linocuts at the Redfern Gallery in 1926. In 1927 they set up an interior decorating business trying out different methods of linocut, wallpaper (see lot 657), wall hangings and textiles. Throughout their time the two created many linocuts together.Edith spent many summers with Claude at his Neolithic chalk cave in the banks of the Seine at Chantemesle (see lot 659) that he had purchased for 300 francs after his time in France during WWI. Here he taught the art of the linocut at informal summer schools and it is thought that students sent examples of their work to them for appraisal which could be the case of the C Deedes works offered here (see lots 655 and 656).During WWII Claude and Edith lived in London working from their studio off Baker Street. Later, fleeing from the Blitz, they moved to a cottage in Donhead St Andrew, Wiltshire which proved to be a sensible move, given that shortly after their studio was bombed, destroying all of Claude's lino printing blocks.Flight suffered from a stroke in 1947 and had to stop working, Edith nursed him until his death in 1955.She spent much of her later life at Worth Matravers, the surrounding area becoming a source of inspiration for her (see lots 660 and 662). In 1973, the year of her death, Edith held a solo exhibition at the University of Hull, which was later followed by a memorial exhibition in the same year at the Parkin Gallery dedicated to both Edith and Claude.Her nephew has fondly said that she was a loveable nuisance disinherited by the family for running away to live with a married man (Claude Flight) in a cave on the Seine. He recollects her making and rolling her own tobacco and that she was "wonderfully stubborn and pragmatic; in all a lovely lady."
