John Cuthbert Hare Massachusetts/Florida, 1908-1978

John Cuthbert Hare was a watercolorist who painted boats, seascapes and harbor scenes. He was primarily associated with New England, especially Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where he spent his summers from 1938 to 1965. However, he also painted in Florida, where he was a member of the St. Augustine Art Association, as well as other locations on the East Coast. It is likely Hare was born in New York City. He studied commercial art in Brooklyn at the Pratt Institute and in Manhattan at the Art Students League. He also worked for Hearst Newspaper Corporation. In 1933 he married, and throughout the next few years he and his wife traveled extensively, camping and painting and exhibiting his work in galleries. About 1938, the Hares, attracted to its rolling farmland, moved to Amherst, Massachusetts. Hare also painted in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and

Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, where he and his wife lived from 1967 to 1977. Hare spent the last years of his life in Palm Beach, Florida. His work is in the collections of the Lowe Art Museum and the Lightner Museum in Florida, and the Smith College of Art in Massachusetts.

William Lester Stevens Massachusetts, 1888-1969

83

Founder of the Rockport Art Association, William Lester Stevens was born and raised in Rockport, on the North Shore of Massachusetts. He began studying painting as a young child and had exhibited his first piece at the National Academy of Design by age 18. Following four years at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School, Stevens launched an active painting career, but it was interrupted by a tour of duty in World War I. He didn’t begin exhibiting again until 1921, at which time he and 50 other artists established the Rockport Art Association. Rockport had become a haven for artists, including Childe Hassam, Leon Kroll and Jonas Lie, and the group wanted to make art more accessible to a greater population. Stevens taught in Rockport, as well as Boston University, Princeton and in North Carolina. By 1964 he had won more awards than any other living artist. Because of its growing popularity as a busy tourist spot, Stevens moved away from Rockport in 1934 and moved to western Massachusetts. He painted until nearly the day he died.

Emile Albert Gruppe was born in 1896 in Rochester, New York, into a family of artists. His father, a noted landscape painter, moved the family to the Netherlands, where he painted with The Hague School of Art and worked as an art dealer. The Gruppe family returned to the United States in 1913. Like his brothers and sisters, who would become cellists, sculptors and watercolorists, Emile began his art career shortly after his return to the United States. He studied at the National Academy in New York City, the Grande Chaumiere in Paris, and with artists George Bridgeman, Charles Hawthorne, Richard Miller and George Chapman. Gruppe moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts, on Cape Ann, in the early 1930s. There he established the Gloucester School of Painting with his mentor, John Fabian Carlson. He was a well-respected teacher and his school, where students painted mostly en plen air, was well attended. Gruppe painted predominantly in oils and used a palette of rich colors for his graceful brushstrokes and his carefully organized compositions. His early influences were primarily the major Impressionists, including Claude Monet, but toward the middle of his career he began combining Impressionist techniques, most especially the hallmark use of light, with a grittier Realism, often depicting the working harbor scenes of Gloucester. Although he is best known for landscapes, he also painted portraits and other figural pieces. Later on his career, Gruppe established schools in Cambridge and Jeffersonville, Vermont, and he wintered in Naples, Florida. He painted almost every day, even well into his 70s, producing nearly 200 works

each year. Along with Anthony Thieme, Aldro Hibbard, Marguerite Pierson, Antonio Cirino and W.L. Stevens, Gruppe is regarded as one of the most prominent of Rockport artists, and his works are in the collections of major museums across the country. Gruppe died in Gloucester in the fall of 1978.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION: Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Eldred’s) has exercised reasonable care to catalog and describe correctly the property to be sold, but neither Eldred’s nor its consignors warrant the correctness of description, attribution, authenticity, or condition of said property. No statements shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability with respect thereto, but are to be construed as opinions only. Bidders are encouraged to personally examine all property to be sold prior to the beginning of the auction. 2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered. 3. Eldred’s reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. 4. DETERMINATION OF HIGHEST BIDDER: The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may determine who is the successful bidder or the auctioneer may re-offer the article in dispute and his decision shall be final. 5. REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At his discretion, he may also reject any nominal raise or any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer. 6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility. 7. PAYMENT: On title passing to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and subject to all the conditions set forth herein, such bidder will thereupon pay the full purchase price. Payment in full is due at the time of sale. Any bills not paid in full within 25 days of the date of the sale will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. In addition, the purchaser may be subject to one or more of the following actions: a) Any and all legal remedies available to Eldred’s and its consignors by law including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price; b) Immediate cancellation of the sale, with Eldred’s retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser; c) Resale of the property at public auction, wherein the original purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, and Eldred’s commission on both sales. At Eldred’s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Eldred’s has collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, their authenticity has been confirmed. A buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. 8. ORDER BIDS: Subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but at no charge to the customer, Eldred’s will undertake to execute all order bids submitted to it by a customer who has established credit with said company. Requests for such bidding must be given in writing with such clearness as to leave no room for misunderstanding as to the amount to be bid and must state the catalog number and the name or title of the article to be bid on. Telephone bids must be confirmed in writing or by cable. All bids are kept in strict confidence. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received by Eldred’s will take precedence. Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. A deposit of 10% of the total amount bid is required. TELEPHONE BIDS: While the sale is in progress, bidding by telephone may be allowed by the auctioneer at his discretion. A deposit of 10% of the anticipated top bid is required. Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for any failure to properly execute

104

such a bid whether it be due to equipment failure, loss of connection, or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions. Any advice or opinions provided by Eldred’s or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warrant of condition, attribution, authenticity, or description of said property. All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder. 9. CONDITION: If for any cause whatsoever any article sold cannot be delivered, or cannot be delivered in as good condition as the same may have been at the time of sale, due to a failure or damage on the company’s part, the sale will be cancelled, and any amount that may have been paid on account of the sale will be returned to the purchaser. EXCEPTION: Eldred’s will not be held responsible for damage to picture frames or lampshades. 10. SALES TAX: All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts sales tax (currently 6.25%) unless the purchaser: A) possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption or resale number and registers that number with the company, B) is an out-of-state vendor who meets all the requirements of Massachusetts Department of Revenue GLC 64H 1(5) and Directive 89-10 and registers with the company prior to each purchase, or C) has purchases shipped out of state (with the exception of Connecticut and New York) directly from Eldred’s by a bona fide shipping agent. Connecticut residents picking items up in our Mystic branch or having purchases shipped to their Connecticut address are responsible for CT state sales tax (currently 6.35%). New York residents having purchases shipped to their New York address are responsible for NY state sales tax (currently 4.0%). Due to the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, residents of other states may be required to pay their state sales tax on purchases as we meet each state’s nexus requirements. Dealers, museums, etc. can apply for a Massachusetts number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02204. 11. RESERVES: Unless advertised as an “Unreserved Auction”, all sales may have items subject to reserve (an agreed upon price between the auctioneer and the consignor, below which the article will not be sold). 12. COLLECTION OF PURCHASES: Delivery or shipping arrangements must be made within seven (7) days from the close of the auction for all purchases. All items must be removed from Eldred’s facilities within fourteen (14) days of the end of the auction. All items remaining after fourteen days may be subject to a $5/per item/perday storage fee.

PACKING: Purchasers are advised that packing and/or handling by Eldred’s employees is undertaken solely as a courtesy for the convenience of customers. In the case of fragile articles, it will be undertaken at the sole discretion of the company. Handling and packing by Eldred’s is at the risk of the purchaser.

Bidding on any article(s) indicates acceptance of the terms set forth above. 16. These Conditions of Sale and any suits arising thereunder shall be construed and governed by the laws of Massachusetts.
