Artist: Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) Title: Catalan Farmhouse with Garden and Bare Trees Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions (unframed): 38 × 46 cm (14.96 × 18.11 in) Dimensions (framed): 52 × 60 cm (20.47 × 23.62 in) Signature: Signed lower left Period: Mid-20th Century Condition: Very good condition. Stable pictorial layer with well-preserved original impasto and no visible losses. Frame condition: Period gilt wooden frame with minor wear consistent with age. Presented: Sold with its current frame. Original oil painting by Catalan artist Joaquín Asensio Mariné, depicting a traditional Catalan farmhouse surrounded by a vegetable garden and winter trees. The composition is built with energetic, textured brushwork and visible impasto, giving the surface strong material presence and movement. The artist employs a rich Mediterranean palette of ochres, greens and blue-grey tones, capturing the rustic architecture and intimate atmosphere of rural Catalonia. Asensio Mariné constructs the scene with expressive confidence, balancing structural solidity in the buildings with freer gestural treatment in the vegetation and sky. The thick paint application enhances the tactile quality of the work, making it visually dynamic and highly decorative. Mid-century Catalan rural landscapes remain particularly appreciated by collectors for their authenticity, regional character and timeless Mediterranean appeal. An attractive and characterful example of 20th-century Spanish landscape painting. Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) was a Catalan painter known for his Mediterranean landscapes, rural architecture and traditional countryside scenes. Active in Barcelona during the first half of the 20th century, he exhibited in galleries such as Sala Rovira and Galería Jaimes. His work sits between traditional realism and a restrained impressionist language, characterized by textured brushwork and a luminous Mediterranean palette. His rural compositions share affinities with the broader tradition of Spanish landscape painting associated with artists such as Joaquín Sorolla, Eliseu Meifrèn and the Catalan post-impressionist school, while maintaining a distinctly regional character. Today his works are appreciated by collectors of mid-century Spanish and Mediterranean painting for their authenticity, decorative strength and connection to Catalan artistic heritage.

“Still Life, 1936” by Katharine "Kitty" Duff Church (British, 1910-1999). This large, early painting by Katherine Church is among her finest canvases of the period. Characterized by its bold color palette, simplified forms, and expressive brushwork, this composition centers around a tabletop adorned with various objects: potted plants, a ceramic dish, bottles, and what appear to be books or papers. The two potted plants provide contrasting elements: on the left, what appears to be a cyclamen with red blossoms and delicate leaves, and on the right, a lush green plant with darker foliage. These plants, painted with loose, textured strokes, add an organic quality to the otherwise structured arrangement. The tabletop is cluttered yet thoughtfully composed, featuring additional objects like a clear, faceted glass bowl, a small bottle, and books or pads in striking red and green. The dynamic use of color blocks and the juxtaposition of shapes (round pots against rectangular books) create a sense of rhythm and harmony. The background is darker and less defined, emphasizing the brightly lit tabletop. Church's brushwork is gestural and modernist, leaning toward abstraction, challenging traditional still life conventions. This painting reflects Church’s interest in balancing everyday objects with bold artistic expression. It conveys both the simplicity and complexity of daily life, transforming an ordinary moment into a vibrant and engaging work of art. This work is oil on canvas and is signed and dated in the lower right. It is housed in its original gessoed frame and retains various labels and inscriptions on the reverse. Size: 28.25 inches tall by 36 inches wide (painting) 34 inches tall by 42 inches wide by 2 inches deep (frame) Provenance: Private collection, NY; Acquired from the above About the artist: Born in Highgate, north London, Katharine Church, known as ‘Kitty’ amongst friends and family, always wanted to paint. She trained at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1930-1933 and at the Slade between 1933 and 1934. In her early years Kitty exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy. Her first solo exhibition was in 1933 at the Wertheim Gallery. Other artists who exhibited there included Christopher Wood, Victor Pasmore and Cedric Morris. Kitty also showed with the New English Art Club, the London Group and between 1937-1947 her work was exhibited at the influential Lefevre Gallery, which supported avant-garde artists such as Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. In 1954 the artist was invited to take part in the Figures in their setting exhibition held at the Tate Gallery. Henry Tonks and Philip Wilson Steer had a strong influence on Kitty’s early work, but it was her friendship with Ivon Hitchens that liberated her painting technique. In 1936 Kitty married Anthony West, the son of writers Rebecca West and H.G. Wells. The couple initially lived in London before moving to Quarry Farm, Chicksgrove, Tisbury, near Salisbury, where they brought up their children Caroline and Edmund. There they hosted many of their friends, including the New Zealand painter Frances Hodgkins. Other regular visitors before the War included John and Mywafany Piper, Ralph and Frances Partridge, Noel and Catharine Carrington, Julian Trevelyan and Mary Fedden. For many of those who visited Kitty would organise painting expeditions. After the war Kitty and Anthony separated, with Anthony moving to the United States. Anthony West moved to the United States to work as a journalist for The New Yorker. In the early years after their parting Kitty visited most years with the children. In the 1960s Kitty purchased Sutton House and ran the Hambledon Gallery at Blandford Forum. There she promoted the work of her early art-school friends Mary Fedden and Julian Trevelyan, alongside work by the Pipers, John Craxton...
