Born in Vienna, Geoffrey was commended for his exploits in the First World War, one of which included taking two Italian soldiers prisoner while he himself was severely wounded. He met Anna in the late 1920s and the couple married in 1931. Both Jewish (Anna was from a Polish speaking part of the Austro-Hungarian empire), in 1938 Geoffrey was sent to Dachau concentration camp, but was released as part of a goodwill gesture, and managed to reach England. First interned, he subsequently joined the Pioneer Corps, and saw service in Rennes, France before returning to Britain to be an army clerk and translator. Anna, meanwhile went in search of Geoffrey in Dachau, where she succeeded in entering the camp undetected to look for her husband, but unaware that he was no longer there. Through tenacity and good fortune she subsequently reached Britain, learnt English and held down a variety of jobs including as a van driver, in a grocery, as a nanny and as an accounts clerk. After the couple were reunited, and Geoffrey was demobbed in 1948 he became a successful businessman, traveling throughout Europe. Settling in North London among the Austrian-Jewish exiled community there, the Langhammers became family friends. Geoffrey and Anna commissioned portraits of themselves from Walter Langhammer and acquired the present range of landscapes from him too.

Est: £2,000 - £3,000
SEVEN WORKS BY WALTER LANGHAMMER FROM A LONDON COLLECTION (LOTS 165-170) WALTER LANGHAMMER (AUSTRIAN 1905 -1977) Extensive view of a town by a river Signed W Langhammer lower left Oil on canvas 52 x 75 cm (20 1/2 x 29 1/2 in) Born in Graz, Austria, Langhammer studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts where he was influenced by the vibrant palette and Expressionist technique of Oskar Kokoschka. With Hitler’s annexation of Austria he and his wife Käthe (née Urbach) travelled to Bombay. A former Indian pupil of Langhammer’s, Shirin Vimadala, had encouraged the painter to make the trip. But on their arrival the couple were arrested as enemy aliens and detained separately until 1941 when the British authorities concluded that neither posed a security threat. On their release Langhammer established a studio where he kept open house for promising young Indian painters including many who formed the Bombay Progressive Art Movement such as Ara, Raza, Husain, Souza and Raiba. Langhammer also encouraged the patronage of wealthy professionals to support such talents – doctors, lawyers and industrialists. Sayed Haider Raza recalled how Langhammer lent him his Bombay studio, and on his departure for Paris provided him with shoes and offered him his overcoat. Captivated by the bright Indian light, Langhammer travelled throughout the country to record the diversity of its people and its landscape. In the late 1940s he was commissioned by the Tata family to paint the Jamshedpur steel plant. During the three months he spent in the city he established the Jamshedpur School of Art, and the ground-breaking series of paintings that he produced of the plant celebrates the power of Indian industrial achievement following the country’s independence in 1947. Returning to Europe in the early 1960s, Langhammer settled in North London, where he met the Allens, who acquired the present works from him (lots 165 to 170)
