513 Amedeo Modigliani, Portrait de Poete Baranowski (Italian, 1884-1920) Pierre-Edouard Baranowski, circa 1913, signed upper right “Modigliani”, pencil on paper, 10-1/4 x 8-1/4 in.; fluted and gilt Whistler type frame, 18-1/2 x 16-1/8 x 1 in., paper toned, taped with archival tape to verso of mat Provenance: The Zwemmer Gallery, London (typed label verso with title on original wood frame backing), purchased circa 1937 for 18 guineas by Eric Alston Mott before it closed at the onset of WWII; His son, Michael Motte; by descent in family Estimate: $20,000 - $25,000 Exhibited: The Zwemmer Gallery, London, Modigliani: Exhibition on Fifty Drawings, March 4-27, 1937, No. 7, accompanied by an original exhibition brochure This lot is also accompanied by email correspondence with Darragh O’Donoghue, Archive Curator of the Tate Archive and Library, Tate, Britain, which The Tate holds the Zwemmer archives. O’Donoghue mentions the lack of records prior to 1950 and the fact there is not a stock book or a record of the sale of this exhibited drawing. *While the provenance is tied to a reputable gallery that exhibited many important artists of the 20th century including Modigliani, Picasso and others, and the fact the drawing has been in the same family since the early 1940s or late 30s, it is important to state that this drawing does not appear in the catalogue raisonne by the accepted expert, Ambrosio Ceroni (1965).

Two portraits exist in oil by Modigliani of the poet Baranowski, one of which is held by the de Young Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (https://www.famsf.org/artworks/portrait-of-pierreedouard-baranowski). The other is “No. 7” from the Zwemmer exhibition, a pencil sketch.

Eric Mott was born 7 October 1902 in Stanmore, England, UK and died 28 September 1990 in Wearne Langport Somerset, UK. He collected the contemporary art of his day. This was purchased from the Zwemmer Gallery either during the exhibition or shortly after. Michael and his two brothers were sent to live in the United States during the war. It is possible that Michael may have been aware or attended the exhibition with his parents. He was ten years old in May of 1941. He mentions that this drawing was purchased shortly before the Blitz.

Eric Mott decided to consign the piece to JPL Fine Arts then learned that his son Michael wanted it. So, it was brought back to the States by one of the daughters and repatriated into the family. https://live.brunkauctions.com/auctions/brunk/modern-designauction-april-11-2024-13770

He was championed by Ambroise Vollard who invited him to participate in the controversial 1904 Salon des Independants. He exhibited the following year at the Salon d’Automne along with Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck.

Etienne Terrus (1857-1922) was born in Elne, near Perpignan; apart from a brief period spent studying art in Paris in the 1880s, he remained in the town all his life, never achieving the fame of the artists who knew him, including not only Matisse and Luce, but Picasso, Derain, Maillol and Vlaminck. Matisse freely admitted to having been influenced by Terrus, through an exchange of correspondence which began that summer and continued until 1917; the impact of this obscure painter on all the Fauves may have been critical to the formulation of their breakthrough innovations in 1905.”

As part of his ongoing search for methods of making spontaneous imagery, Onslow Ford invented coulage (the term based on couler, meaning “to flow” in French), a technique that anticipated the work of Hans Hofmann and Jackson Pollock. He joined the Parisian Surrealist group in 1938, and through his influence and that of Matta, the Surrealist circle became increasingly interested in an abstract visual lexicon linked to metaphysics and mystical philosophy. - Guggenheim Museum.

By 1969, Operation Exodus provided a higher quality education to nearly 1,000 students, which also included access to tutoring, textbooks, counseling services, and vocational training programs within the community.

Burnett, an African American artist and educator, made this print to raise funds in support of the initiative. At the time he made this lithograph he was an art professor at his alma mater, the Massachusetts College of Art. His teachings and theories on color can often be read as a poignant social commentary of the times: ‘...there is no such thing as a good color or bad color or a correct color combination; it’s only what you’re trying to express with the color and what it’s all about.’” -The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
