Tom McGuinness (1926-2006)
"Waiting for News"
Signed and dated (19)69, mixed media, 9.5cm by 41cm
Provenance: Gallery 2, Darlington
Exhibited: Exhibition of Mining Art at the National Trust House, Nunnington, 2006
Born in 1926 in Witton Park, County Durham Tom McGuinness showed a predilection towards sketching from an early age.
After leaving school in 1940, he worked in the Meadow Dairy Grocery shop, and then the timber trade until 1944, when he was signed up to the coal industry, as part of the conscriptions enforced by the Bevin government, to counteract falling labour within the industry during World War II.
His path to receiving formal training in art was initiated when his Colliery training officer found Tom sketching in chalk down the mines and suggested he join Darlington School
of Art.
Like his contemporary Norman Cornish, Tom McGuinness was greatly encouraged in his artistic endeavours by Bill Farrell and the Spennymoor Settlement which he joined in the 1940's. Bill Farrell suggested the two men should "paint what they knew" and of course this direction led to the evocative renditions of the mining community which we appreciate today, albeit in two highly distinctive styles.
McGuinness exhibited annually at the Darlington Art Society, and held his first solo show in 1958, at the offices of the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation in Hobart House, London. His work was also exhibited at the Stone Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne which brought him high critical acclaim.
In 1983, he was made redundant from mining and finally turned to painting as a full time occupation. A major retrospective touring exhibition held in 1997 at the Bowes Museum "Mines a McGuinness" compounded his significance as a mining artist further. Throughout his career Tom exhibited in over 40 solo and over fifty joint exhibitions. £600 - 800

Norman Stansfield Cornish (1919-2014)
"Solitary Miner"
Signed, watercolour heightened with white, 14cm by 22cm
Provenance: The Stone Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne
Born in 1919 in Oxford Street, Spennymoor, Norman Cornish began working in the mines on Boxing day in 1933 and not long after he was accepted as a member of the Spennymoor Settlement, at just the age of 15. It was here that he met the author Sid Chaplin and fellow mining artist Tom McGuinness.
The artists of the Settlement exhibited regularly at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle and directly after the war Cornish held his first solo exhibition at the People's Theatre in Newcastle. The sale of five of his works at the exhibition resulted in him being asked to curate an exhibition on Oxford Street in London "Art by the Miner". The exhibition was organised to create awareness of the newly nationalised coalmines and resulted in Cornish being interviewed on television, it transpired that he was a natural speaker and he continued to converse with the media throughout his career.
Cornish exhibited throughout the North East and nationally and in 1959 he first exhibited at the acclaimed Stone Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne. The gallery prided itself on representing artists with local connections such as Sheila Fell and L.S Lowry in addition to many of the internationally acclaimed historical and old master artists. Cornish established a long standing relationship with the gallery which lasted for over twenty years. £1200 - 1800

Jacob Kramer (1892-1962)
Portrait of a girl seated wearing a blue dress
Signed and dated 1930, pastel, 54cm by 43cm
Provenance for lots 93-96: The vendor's father was friendly with Jacob Kramer and used to drink with him in Leeds. Kramer gifted him these pictures in exchange for drinks.
Following the political unrest in Eastern Europe, Jacob Kramer and his family left their home of Ukraine, settling in the Jewish community of Leeds in 1900. His first formal training was at Leeds School of Art from 1908-11 where he received a scholarship to study full time and also met fellow artists such as Fred Lawson (see lot 96). Here he also earned the patronage of Sir Michael Sadler. From 1913-14 he studied at the Slade School of Art where he befriended other leading artists of the day such as Augustus John and David Bomberg. In 1915 Kramer held a solo exhibition with Mathews and Brooke, Bradford and was invited to exhibit with the Vorticists in London. Following this he began to build up his reputation as a leading Yorkshire artist with shows in Yorkshire and London and in 1959 he was elected as president of Leeds Fine Arts Club. 1960 saw a retrospective of his works at Leeds City Art Gallery and six years after his death the City of Leeds Branch College of Art was renamed the Jacob Kramer College of Art. £200 - 300

Joash Woodrow (1927-2006)
"Portrait of a Young Woman"
Pencil, 76cm by 50cm
Provenance: 108 Fine Art, Harrogate
Born in Leeds in 1927 of Polish background, Woodrow initially trained at Leeds College of Art after which he served in the army as a cartographer in Egypt 1945 - 1948. Between 1950 - 1953 he studied drawing and painting at the Royal College of Art, his fellow students including Frank Auerbach, Peter Blake and the novelist Len Deighton.
Shortly after graduating from The Royal College of Art Joash returned to his home in Chapel Allerton, Leeds where he continued to paint small scale landscapes and portraits. Already well aware of the broad strands of 20th century European Modernism it was the experience of the huge Picasso show at the Tate in 1960 which provided the major catalyst for the extraordinary explosion in scale and ambition that overtook his work over the next fifteen years.
Lots 97-99 and 204 clearly demonstrate the the power of Picasso's influence on the artist. This fused with his upbringing in a community created through a mix of English, Jewish and Eastern European culture and the realisation that his expressive roots lay outside the British Isles are what enabled him to find his voice. £500 - 800
