<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: x-small;">In 1869 the Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act made it possible for colonies such as New Zealand to grant certificates of competency to ships' officers that would be recognised throughout the empire. Edwin was offered a special appointment to the Marine Department as an additional examiner of masters and mates; he retired from the Royal Navy with the rank of commander in February 1871 and on the 18th of the same month took up his new post. In addition to examining, he was to assist in the general work of the department, undertake marine surveying and supervise compass adjusting. However, in early 1874 he was made responsible for the newly instituted weather-reporting and storm-signalling section of the department.</span></div>

was born on October 29, 1914, in Granada, Spain. Guerrero painted his last
figurative work, a self-portrait, in 1950. Thereafter, galvanized by Abstract
Expressionism, he abandoned his figurative style for abstraction. </span></span></span></div>

</span><span data-offset-key="5pm8m-0-0" style="background-color: black; font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">By the mid-1950s Guerrero’s style had become more gestural, expressing a deeper sense
of urgency, as he loosened his brushstroke and introduced a controlled dripping
technique. A selection of these new paintings appeared in an exhibition at Betty Parsons Gallery, New York, in 1954, marking Guerrero’s emergence as a
distinctive painter within the New York school. Since moving to New York,
Guerrero had become acquainted with some of the most prominent members of the
American avant-garde including Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Robert
Motherwell, Mark Rothko, and Theodoros Stamos. </span></span></span></div>

created orderly and rhythmic vertical compositions, followed by increasingly
dynamic works in which brilliant hues took the lead.</span></span></span></div>

Upon arrival in New Zealand in 1939 he was probably the best educated artist in the country. Schoon was an artist, photographer, potter, sculptor, greenstone carver, designer and an expert art researcher. He developed his knowledge of Maori design by going to the best Maori authorities. Often the only European invited by Maori to show his art and creations on their marae. He became an expert gourd maker. A number of his carved gourds are held in American museums. He researched the few Maori rock drawings that were then known, and began a time-consuming and physically demanding on-the-spot research in often isolated and deep caves. He recorded the rock drawings in his sketches and photographs.</span><br style="background-color: #333333; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;" /><span style="background-color: #333333; color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">Schoon undertook intense research at the same time, in to Maori design. He assembled the designs recorded by Williams, Augustus Hamilton and J H Menzies from the start of the century, and consulted with Maori elders and Tohunga. Applying aspects of Maori design to his own art, he developed a fern root spiral which became the well-known "koru".

As found.<br />
case and movement both stamped with serial no 1452<br />
9 inches high, 8 day, silver dial untouched.<br />
Several assembly screws and the minute hand is missing but clock runs<br />
gilding is in great condition.<br />
engraved on back<br />
"Remodeled by C Frodsham, 1904"<br />
I think the strut may have been modified but I can not see anything else which is missing or changed<br />
A good project for someone<br />
