(unframed). Provenance: (the first): Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 27 April 1995, lot 115. (the second): Anon. sale, Christie's South Kensington, 5 September 2002, lot 522. (the second): Anon. sale, Phillips, London, 6 October 1998, lot 296. Note: McEvoy studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, having been encouraged to do so by James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), a friend of his father who had spotted McEvoy's talent at a young age. It was at the Slade that McEvoy came into contact with artists including William Orpen (1878-1931), Augustus John (1878-1961), and Gwen John (1876-1939), with whom he had an ill-fated affair. McEvoy travelled to Dieppe with Walter Sickert (1860-1942) in 1909, and it is presumably from this trip that the present sketch of the town originates. Despite being a highly versatile artist, he became known later in his career for his portraits, with his notably loose approach imparting his subjects with a striking sense of character and presence.

Arthur Ambrose McEvoy ARA (1878-1927)
Est: £800 - £1,200
Arthur Ambrose McEvoy ARA (1878-1927) Head of a Girl watercolour 31 x 22cm Provenance: With Beaux Arts Gallery, London Recognised for his artistic abilities and encouraged to pursue his talents from a young age, it is hardly surprising that Arthur Ambrose McEvoy became an artist. The son of renowned Scottish engineer, Captain Charles Ambrose McEvoy, Arthur McEvoy received early support and tuition from his father’s close friend, James Abbott McNeil Whistler. At fifteen years of age, already a proficient painter and inspired by Whistler, McEvoy enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art. Whilst studying at the Slade, between 1893 and 1898, McEvoy became closely associated with William Orpen and Augustus John and would later engage in an unhappy affair with John’s elder sister, Gwen. Though the events of the affair remain shrouded by a veil of secrecy, comparisons between the painterly works of McEvoy and Gwen John can be easily drawn. In his early career, no doubt influenced by his period studying in Dieppe under Walter Sickert, McEvoy established himself as a painter of genre scenes and urban landscapes. By the mid-1910s, however, McEvoy’s practice became increasingly inclined towards portraiture, and it is for his depictions of society women that he would ultimately gain recognition and critical success. Praised for his ability to capture the essence and character of his sitters, McEvoy’s technical process, as demonstrated by the present lot, was remarkably radical and innovative. Using damp rags and sponges, occasionally even holding his painted canvases beneath running taps, McEvoy was able create truly modern works, animated by both the spirit of the sitter and the artist.

Pen and watercolour 51 x 35cm (20 x 13 3/4in.) Exhibited: Royal Academy, Winter Exhibition, 1928 (label affixed, verso) National Gallery, British Painting Since Whistler, 1940 (label affixed, verso) McEvoy began his career at the Slade School of Fine Art, having been encouraged by, among others, James Abbott McNeill Whistler. His artistic friends included Augustus John, and in 1898 he became romantically involved with Gwen John. Lady Diana Manners, in her capacity both as an actress and society beauty was painted by McEvoy on a number of occasions. As a young woman, Lady Diana moved in a celebrated intellectual group known as the Coterie but sadly, many members of this group were killed in the First World War. It is possible that this is the painting referred to in, Diana Cooper s Autobiography, The Rainbow Comes and Goes, 1958, page 220. She describes various wedding gifts including a picture of Duff by Lavery, and one of me by Shannon and another by McEvoy Provenance: Property of The Viscount Norwich and Lady Diana Cooper.
