He gave me confidence in life and I have followed in his footsteps. I was very lucky. There were lots of beautiful girls around and he encouraged me to be a painter’. Lydia Corbett In 1954, the pony-tailed teenager, Lydia Corbett was introduced to Pablo Picasso at Vallauris on the French Riviera when the artist was separating from his wife Francois Gilot. Her presence brought a new energy to his work and she became the favoured model for various works of art, including The Heads of Sylvette, a series of moulded metal sculptures produced by Picasso. She was known then as Sylvette David, and changed her name to Corbett during this period. In 1968, Lydia moved to England and gave her creative energy to painting. She has since exhibited in London, Europe and Japan. The Anthony Petullo Foundation in America has a collection of her watercolours. In 1993 the Tate Gallery staged a major exhibition of Picasso’s sculpture and paintings to coincide with a documentary film on Lydia and Picasso shown on BBC2. In 2014 parallel exhibitions in London and Germany showcased the work of Corbett and Picasso. Corbett’s fluid lines bring life to familiar themes and her ‘assured and gentle approach to the human figure’, recalls the work of Marc Chagall. • denotes lots affected by Artist’s resale rights - refer to conditions of sale. 2 2 • Lydia Corbett [b.1934] a stoneware jug in the form of a female figure, decorated in black and pale lilac tones on an ivory ground, impressed personal seal at base of handle, 21cm high. *£40 - 60 3 • Lydia Corbett [b.1934] Sail Away; a painted driftwood model, signed, inscribed and dated ‘98 on the reverse 35cm long. *£40 - 60 Provenance Gifted by Lydia Corbett to the present owners. * All lots subject to a buyers premium of 21% plus vat @ 20% 3 4 Cassina after Gerrit Rietveld A Red & Blue Zig Zag Chair, laminated wood and metal construction trademarked and stamped 1916 87cm high. *£200 - 300 • denotes lots affected by Artist’s resale rights - refer to conditions of sale. 4 5 • Patrick Hughes [b.1939] Rubbish Rainbows screenprint numbered 60/100 signed, inscribed and dated ‘78 sheet size 89 x 63cm. *£200 - 300 6 • Terry Frost, R.A.
