Described as “a sophisticated Parisian who knows where to go and has the gift for observation,” Jean Béraud captured in his lively paintings the grand boulevards and stylish denizens of Belle Epoque Paris. Originally trained as an Academic artist, early in his career Béraud was influenced by the Impressionists, with their quick brushstrokes and urban themes. He was a close friend of Edouard Manet and frequented the same cafés as Edgar Degas, Pierre Renoir, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Like them, Béraud sought to objectively convey the modernization of Paris caused by Baron Hausmann’s physical reconfiguration of the city.

Le Pont de Bercy displays Béraud’s talent for depicting everyday life in Paris without sentimentality or picturesqueness. A man in a blue working smock converses with a smartly but soberly dressed woman. They stand on the banks of the Seine at Bercy, upstream from Paris. Originally a small, separate commune, Bercy was annexed in 1860 by the Second Empire. By the 1870s, it was developing into a residential and commercial quarter of Paris. Behind the couple can be seen the Pont de Bercy, completed in 1864, with a steady stream of traffic. Barges placidly float on the river and an idle work cart stands at the ready along the still incomplete river embankments.

From the Impressionists, Béraud also developed an interest in Japanese ukiyo-e prints, with their asymmetrical compositions. In the present work, elements of the Eastern art form can be seen in the artist’s use of large expanses of empty space punctuated by dark figures, as well as the diagonal lines of the bridge and tram lines cutting across the canvas. The candid grouping of the couple, off-center focus and deep perspective likewise owe something to the new art of photography pioneered by Niépce, Daguerre and Fox Talbot. Béraud was known to sit and sketch in a hired carriage for hours in order to capture spontaneous fragments of the city’s life, as if he himself was a roving camera.

In both its subject matter and compositional structure, Le Pont de Bercy reveals the artist as one of the great nineteenth-century painters of modern life.

Bernard Buffet

(French, 1928-1999) La Tour Eiffel, 1955 oil on canvas signed Bernard Buffet and dated (upper right) 57 x 38 inches. $200,000-300,000

Born in in 1928, Bernard Buffet came of age during a tumultuous time, both artistically and politically. From 1944-45, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he studied the figurative tradition. Like many young painters in post-World War II Europe, Buffet reacted against Abstraction and instead embraced visual reality. He joined Homme-Temoin, a group of French artists who promoted an expressive Social Realism. They endeavored to create paintings that were authentic and direct, works that would more deeply speak to the common sense of the populace. Buffet would go on to establish his highly distinctive style, characterized by sharp, craggy linear forms, muted colors, and solitary mood that seemed to express the existential alienation and spiritual isolation of the postwar generation.

Executed in 1955, La Tour Eiffel successfully articulates the atmospheric melancholy of Buffet’s early work. The composition depicts a view southeast across the Seine, looking directly toward the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire. A sense of remoteness pervades the scene, which is devoid of the usual crowds that populate one of the most well known attractions of Paris.

The dark outlines and grisaille palette further emphasize the subdued setting.

Interestingly, Buffet includes in the background la Grande Roue, a Ferris wheel built on the Champs de Mars for the 1900 Universal Exposition. At almost 350 feet in height, it was at the time the tallest panoramic wheel in the world.

However, the gigantic wheel’s popularity waned after World War I and it was torn down in 1920, before the present work was created. Rather than a direct recording of reality, Buffet instead presents a sepia-tinged ghost, a nostalgic remembrance of the City of Light’s vanished joie de vivre.

The year La Tour Eiffel was painted, Buffet was awarded the first prize by the magazine Connaissance des Arts, which named the ten best post-war artists.

The artist was already highly successful by this time, with his first one-man exhibition in 1947 at the Galerie des Impressions d’Art. The following year he was awarded the Prix de la Critique, at the age of 20. In 1958, Galerie Charpentier held the first retrospective of his work. Buffet would continue to be enormously successful throughout his career, with works exhibited worldwide and held in renowned collections, including the Tate Gallery, London; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, California; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. His career culminated in 1973, with the opening of the Bernard Buffet Museum in Surugadaira, Japan.

(American, 1827–1889) Near Lake Maurepas, 1877 oil on canvas signed JR Meeker and dated (lower left); signed and titled (verso) 14 1/2 x 20 inches.

Provenance: Private Collection, Louisiana Gifted to the present owner by the above, 2015 $20,000-30,000

Joseph Rusling Meeker, though trained in New York in the Hudson River School tradition under Asher B. Durand, settled in St. Louis and became the leading painter of the Southern United States landscape.

During the Civil War, he served as a paymaster aboard a gunboat in the Lousiana swampland. Though it was a dangerous and tumultuous time, Meeker was able to find the serenity and beauty in the surrounding landscape. He made hundreds of sketches during this time, which he later developed into his famous atmospheric paintings of the bayou. He would continue to make journeys to the lower Mississippi after he settled in St. Louis that would serve as inspiration for his paintings.

Lake Maurepas, located halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, was a favorite spot for Meeker, and he painted it several times. In the present work, he catches a moment when the sun is behind a cloud, infusing the landscape with a pink and purple tone and the characteristic vegetation of the bayou (water lilies, cypress trees, and reeds) can be seen.

The composition of Near Lake Maurepas evokes a feeling of serenity and stillness and showcases Meeker’s skill of capturing the mysterious Louisiana bayou.

A master at imitating sunlight and capturing the textures and mood of a landscape, Walter Lamb Picknell made some of his best known paintings at the artist’s colony of Annisquam on Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Although Picknell spent many years abroad studying the European tradition, he developed a distinctly American style that emphasized atmosphere and light. Like the French artist Gustave Courbet, he began using a palette knife to apply paint directly on the canvas, allowing him to cover areas with swaths of paint and create texture.

Picknell lived with George Inness in Rome for several years, and it was from Inness that he learned to see and paint civilized nature, where human involvement in nature is incorporated quietly into the landscape.

In Annisquam River, a small glowing church sits on a hill in the background, and several houses are nestled in the hillside. Bathed in sunlight, they are united with the landscape in a harmonious manner.

Thomas Hart Benton

(American, 1889-1975) West Virginia, Mountain Church, 1934 sepia wash, ink and pencil on paper signed Benton (upper right) 10 x 14 inches.

Property from the Collection of the Anne P. Foster Trust, Kansas City, Missouri Provenance: Collection of the artist Purchased from the above by the present owner Literature: Thomas Hart Benton, Benton Drawings: A Collection of Drawings by Thomas Hart Benton, Columbia, 1968, p. 47, illus. $10,000-15,000

Thomas Hart Benton, painter of American life and history, was a restless man with seemingly endless energy for travel. As a child, he grew up listening to stories of his maternal grandfather, Pappy Wise, and his affliction with “foot itch” that led him to ramble throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Texas. His own father, a U.S. representative for Missouri, likewise nostalgically reminisced of his travels during his Ozark campaigns. After his father’s death in 1924, Benton was inspired to go on his own journeys to see for himself the variety and picturesqueness of the people of America. He traveled throughout the Ozarks and Texas, and in 1928 he made an extended trip to the Appalachians, then to Wyoming and the Rockies.

Benton continued to make visits to Appalachia in the early 1930s, and in 1934 he traveled to West Virginia with his student Bill Hayden and an Italian newspaper correspondent. While there, the three men encountered members of the Holy Roller faith, whose services relied heavily on the use of musical instruments. Always looking for characters and particularly American scenes to capture and use as material for later paintings, Benton finagled an invitation to a Holy Roller gathering, where he sketched West Virginia Mountain Church.

In this work, the artist depicts a working class audience in a simple church, quietly enjoying the music of a fiddler and guitarist. The two musicians are bathed in the white light of a coal-mining lamp and they stand above the crowd, the focus of all attention. The scene is contemplative, perhaps executed before a woman preacher stepped onto the stage and, as Benton described it “…the congregation burst into voice. The rafters shook. Three or four roaring hymns were sung and stamped” (An Artist in America, p. 106). A “knifing” outside the building eventually interrupted the raucous energy of the church service, with a young boy only slightly wounded and his assailant captured. The drawing belies none of the drama to come, but instead captures a reflective moment, a calm before a spiritual and secular storm.

The figure of the guitar player in West Virginia Mountain Church may be a model for the guitar player in Lord Heal the Child (Private Collection), also executed in 1934. Lord Heal the Child similarly features a woman preacher, as described in Benton’s account of his experience, and may be a composite of different scenes that the artist sketched during his trip.

No mere observer, however, in his documentation of this evolving cultural landscape—he was also a participant. After moving to New York in 1911, in 1913 the artist began painting sets for silent motion pictures in Fort Lee, New Jersey, the “first Hollywood.” He embraced the dramatic poses and theatrical lighting of the film industry, incorporating these techniques into works that moved cinematically, scene-by-scene, in multi-panel compositions. Benton would even build clay models, miniature sets, so he could study the play of light and shadow on three-dimensional shapes aiding him in creating a sense of “deep space” in his canvases.

Perhaps because his paintings visually echoed motion pictures, in 1937 Life magazine commissioned Benton to go to Hollywood to paint a mural that would unveil the mysteries of the film industry to its readers. The artist spent a month sketching in Hollywood, mostly at 20th Century Fox Studios. Several movies were being filmed at the time on the lot, including In Old Chicago, a big budget musical about the fire of 1871. Benton produced over four hundred sketches and forty ink-wash drawings during his sojourn, including Burning of Chicago and Movie Set, which served as studies for the painting Hollywood (1937-38; Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO), a dynamic mural filled with actors, technicians and directors.

Burning of Chicago (lot 152) depicts a scene from the movie In Old Chicago and served as the basis for the central section of Hollywood. At the time of its release, In Old Chicago was one of the most expensive movies ever made, and the drawing captures the choreographed chaos of an epic movie set of the 1930s. Members of the film crew float on barges or stand hip-deep in water in the foreground, aiming mirrors, microphones and lights toward the mass of actors and horses attempting to flee the fiery faux-Chicago as it burns in the background. The director is seen on the foremost raft under an umbrella, shouting through a megaphone and dramatically gesturing towards the action.

Movie Set (lot 151) likewise reveals the complexity involved with filming even the most unassuming of scenes, and relates to the left panel of Hollywood.

Depicted in the drawing is an elegantly coiffed starlet speaking to an older woman seated at a café table. In front of them and claiming the majority of the pictorial space is the film crew and all its paraphernalia. Men crowd the compact scene, whispering to each other, idly watching the dialogue, or handling the equipment. The strong vertical bases of the boom and light frame what are presumably the director and an assistant, and the boom arm hangs above the two actresses, the loci of the action.

Both the Burning of Chicago and Movie Set are integral elements to the larger enterprise of the painting Hollywood. They also reveal an artist intensely interested in the process and mechanics of making movie magic, for both his own art and the big picture of American culture.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.

Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.

Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.

In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive.
