Estate of Mina Graning Stowers (1936-2014) The Banker’s House, Natchez, MS

“Sis” Stowers was actively involved with Natchez history and preservation from an early age. Her childhood home was Oakland, which her parents purchased from descendants of John Duncan and Katherine Surget Minor.

Many of the historic contents, including the library, remained in the house. Built between 1838 and 1844, Oakland is a significant example of Greek Revival architecture and one of the most prominent “suburban villas” in Natchez.

In 1972 Mrs. Stowers and her husband, Luther, acquired the dilapidated Banker’s House and began its restoration. Located at 107 Canal Street, it had been built in the mid-1830s in conjunction with the adjacent Commercial Bank which fronted Main Street. In 1974 the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a National Historic Landmark. The Banker’s House was opened for the annual Spring and Fall Pilgrimages for several decades.

Mrs. Stowers received a number of local and national awards for her restoration of her home and her other preservation efforts. She was a founding member of the Historic Natchez Foundation and served as chairman of the Natchez Preservation Commission for a number of years.

The Stowers estate includes many objects from the Minor/Surget family at Oakland.

Neal Auction Company is pleased to present this historic collection.

397. George Hetzel (German/Pennsylvania, 1826-1899), “Creek in the Woods”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, “Pittsburgh Art Co.” label with title and artist en verso, 28 in. x 20 in., framed. $4000/6000 Note: After being brought to Pennsylvania at age 2, Hetzel at 21 was encouraged by his parents to return for study at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, under its long-time director Wilhelm von Schadow (1788-1862) and the many figurative and landscape painters who had made it the most prestigious German school. His close contemporaries there included native artists of plein-air landscapes such as Oswald Achenbach (1827-1905), the great Swiss painter Arnold Böchlin (1827-1901), the even more gifted Anselm Feuerbach (1829-1880), and also Werner Homberg (18301860), who brought to their favored medium the historic influence of Dutch landscapes. After his 1849 return to Pittsburgh, Hetzel painted a strongly-bearded Self-Portrait, with his eyes obscured by the shadow of a black top hat: its combination of intense chiaroscuro (in which he had specialized at Düsseldorf), with its overtones of Romantic Realism, combine with a striking similarity to the many Self-Portraits of the 1840s by Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) to suggest that Hetzel also had full awareness of contemporary developments in Paris—particularly of the Barbizon School, which his own landscapes came more and more to resemble.

The present large painting of Paint Creek in Cambria County, PA, brilliantly reflects Hetzel’s delight in the 1866 discovery of his own “Forest of Fontainebleau,” near the village of Scalp Level, just south of Johnstown. To that sylvan retreat he brought so many colleagues from the Pittsburgh School of Design that it became the center of its own Barbizon-like group, who rendered its unspoiled glades in both small plein-air oil sketches, as well as larger studio works. This painting in fact combines the best of both techniques, with its shimmering coruscation of color—constituting a veritable symphony of greens—with inspired unities and contrasts of value.

Martin Grelle (American/Texas, b. 1954), “Warrior Alone”, 1997, oil on canvas, signed, dated and inscribed “CA” lower right, 18 in. x 14 in., framed with artist and title plaque. $15000/25000 Note: One of the most recognized Western artists today, Martin Grelle began drawing and painting while in high school and was fortunate to have well-known Western artists, Jim Boren and Melvin Warren, move to his hometown of Clifton, TX. Mentored by Boren, Grelle had his first one-man show at a local gallery as a teenager in 1973, and in the following forty-three years, his work has been featured in more than thirty solo exhibitions nationwide to wide acclaim. He was invited to be a member of the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995. Among his other numerous prestigious awards, Grelle was presented the Legacy Award by The Briscoe Museum in 2012 for his impact on Western art. Grelle’s passion for the Old West is evident in his striking landscapes and historical portraits. In the work offered here depicting a lone warrior, Grelle emphasizes the color and texture of his light-filled landscape to perfectly highlight the carefully-detailed figure and horse.

Note: One of the cultural forms visible within the African diaspora is music and dance.

Many dances held particular meaning and could convey specific ideas, both secular and spiritual. Music and dancing also provided a means of honoring the past, as the dancers (and audience) used their bodies as instruments in ways that harkened back to original African dance forms. During their limited leisure hours, particularly on Sundays and holidays, slaves often engaged in singing and dancing. Music on plantations in the United States typically consisted of call-and-response patterns, shouts, cries, and moans and made use of homemade instruments from the banjo, tambourine, and calabashes to washboards, pots, and spoons. In the painting offered here, a group of people possibly dance the Bamboula, a dance of Kongo origin. This dance embodied the Habanera rhythmic pattern that came to Louisiana from Saint Domingue. The term “bamboula” can also refer to a specific rhythm, type of drum or any African-based cultural practice.

421. Exceptional American Rococo Carved Rosewood Étagère, c. 1850‑1860, attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, reticulated crest with phoenix, volutes, and scrolled acanthus; arched mirror flanked by four serpentine shelves, elaborately turned supports; shaped marble‑top base with applied floral ornament, h. 132 in., w. 88 in. $25000/40000 Provenance: The Service Collection, Estate of Grant A. Oakes, Warren, OH. Accompanied by a typed label, color snapshot, and copy of a 1968 Parke Bernet affidavit stating the étagère was part of the James E. Smitherman Estate, 3751 Fairfield Ave., Shreveport, LA. Note: This monumental étagère is remarkable even within the context of John Henry Belter’s illustrious body of work. The arched mirror and graduated side panels are identical in form to other known Belter examples from the Service, Rosalie and other private collections.

At a height of eleven feet, this lot exceeds all other known examples of the form in size, ornament and intricacy. The carved decoration is the most complex of the group, featuring more purely attenuated Rococo scrolls and swags on the crest and supports. The use of fine and rare violet brocatelle marble for the plinth shelf of this piece is a departure from the white Carrara marbles seen elsewhere. John Henry Belter participated in the 1853 Crystal Palace Exhibition held in New York.

The confluence of elements seen here indicate this étagère may have been a part of Belter’s entry.

428. American Sheraton Mahogany Bowfront Chest of Drawers, early 19th c., attr. to William Hook, Massachusetts, waterleaf carved turreted corners, four drawers flanked by reeded columns, turned feet, h. 42 1/2 in., w. 45 in., d. 21 in. $2500/3500 Note: The overall design, waterleaf-carved and reeded corner posts, and bookmatched mahogany drawer fronts on this lot closely relate to a near identical chest of drawers attributed to William Hook or William Haskell sold in these rooms September 15, 2012 as lot 378.

William Hook’s Sheraton-style furniture was highly sought after by leading families of Salem in the late 18th/early 19th century. A key feature of his work is the use of carved waterleaf capitals on reeded corner posts, which is seen on an attributed dressing table at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem (124788.7) and also a mahogany work table (39.555), a dressing table (39.556), and a sideboard (38.67) at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

Note: The Philadelphia firm Moore, York, and Howell, successors to Moore and Campion, exhibited at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial International Exhibition where they received an award for a “Walnut Parlor Suit, Centre Table, and Game Table.”

Interestingly, a similarly carved and burled walnut parlor cabinet with an identical label sold in these rooms October 6, 2007 as lot 90. While the latter is more elaborately decorated, as one would expect with a smaller furniture form, both the bookcase and the parlor cabinet demonstrate the high style of furniture this firm produced for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.

Both Lannuier and Barry are known to have used light-colored figured woods such as burled elm or amboyna in combination with darker mahogany or rosewood. The gilt-bronze anthemion-cast capitals and bases on the current lot are similar to those found on pier tables by Philadelphia and New York City cabinetmakers.

The cellarette was a sophisticated furniture form among the growing American wealthy class at the beginning of the 19th century. It came equipped with casters to allow portability and was typically ordered with divisions to accommodate either four or six glass bottles.

The Sécrétaire à Abattant is a distinct neo-classical French form that appeared in the last quarter of the 18th century. In the United States, French émigré craftsmen working in New York such as Charles-Honoré Lannuier and the Scotsman Duncan Phyfe were influenced by designs published in Pierre de la Mésangère’s Collection des Meubles et Objets de Goût

editions between 1802 and 1826, including plate 57 from the 1803 version, in which Mésangère highlights the use of large sheets of figured veneers, ormolu capitals and bases on the columns, and ormolu appliqués on the friezes.

470. Very Rare and Historic American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Parlor Suite, c. 1850‑1860, attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, incl. triple back sofa, pair of méridiennes and four side chairs, each with carved historical bust, scrolled and pierced back, shaped seat, foliate apron, turned fluted legs, casters, later Napoleonic bee upholstery, sofa h. 44 in., w. 73 1/2 in., d. 30 in.; méridiennes h. 38 in., w. 42 in., d. 24 in. $75000/125000 Provenance: The Service Collection, Estate of Grant A. Oakes, Warren, OH. Ill.: Dubrow, Richard. American Furniture of the 19th c., 1840-1888. Atglen, PA: Schiffer, pp. 110-112; Schwartz, Marvin. Edward Stanek, and Douglas True. The Furniture of John Henry Belter and the Rococo Revival. New York: Dutton, pp. 48, 49, 60, 66.

Note: The carved visages on this suite by the illustrious cabinetmaker John Henry Belter are particularly rare within his known body of work. The méridiennes are carved with busts of English poets William Shakespeare and John Milton, and the chair crests with ancient and Renaissance poets Homer, Sophocles, Dante and Petrarch.

This settee is distinctively carved with luminaries George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and a statesman with an à la Cesar hairstyle, likely the Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette’s 1824-1825 grand tour of the United States as a returning hero of the Revolutionary War created a frenzy of popular adoration. Portraits from this period by Ary Scheffer (for the U.S. House of Representatives) and Matthew Jouett (for the Kentucky statehouse) show General Lafayette tonsured in the modern style seen here. The settee as a whole may have been designed as a timely contemplation of industry, courage, and fortitude.

The only other example of this historicism from Belter’s workshop is an ebony center table (now reduced) with carved ivory busts of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Franklin Pierce in niches on the apron, which was part of the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1853. The pieces offered here have portraits carved integrally and executed within Belter’s shop, not added from an outside source.

477. Attributed to Jacques Guillaume Lucien Amans (French, 1801‑1888, act.

New Orleans, 1836‑1856), “Portrait of Robert Conway (b. 1813)”, c. 1845, oil on canvas, unsigned, 38 in. x 30 in., period gilt frame. $5000/8000

Provenance: The sitter, Marie Constance Conway (1822‑1854) and Robert Conway (b.

1813); their daughter, Marie Constance Conway (b. c. 1850) and Alexander Kirkwood Finlay (1843‑1911); their daughter, Laura Gaines Finlay (1886‑1982) and James Pierce Butler (1880‑1941); their daughter, Ormonde Butler (c. 1905‑1987) and Philip Joseph Bayon (1905‑1989); thence by descent.

Provenance: Marie Constance Conway (1922‑1854) and the sitter, Robert Conway (b.

1813); their daughter, Marie Constance Conway (b. c. 1850) and Alexander Kirkwood Finlay (1843‑1911); their daughter, Laura Gaines Finlay (1886‑1982) and James Pierce Butler (1880‑1941); their daughter, Ormonde Butler (c. 1905‑1989) and Philip Joseph Bayon (1905‑1989); thence by descent.

Note: Constance Conway, the great-great-great-niece of Maurice Conway, Jr., who came to New Orleans from Ireland with his uncle, Alejandro O’Reilly (second Governor of Louisiana under Spanish rule), grew up on Conway Plantation in St. James Parish. Her father, James Conway, and her mother, Mathilde Peytarin Conway, had at least two other daughters, Clementine and Louisa, whose portrait by Jacques Amans is illustrated in the Colonial Dames’ Louisiana Portraits book. Also noted in this volume is the likeness of Mathilde’s mother, Madame Dubosse Peytarin née Mathilde Boisdoré, painted in 1845 by Amans.

Note: According to family tradition, Robert Conway, the second eldest son of Robert Conway and Margaret Sweet, came to New Orleans from Alexandria, Virginia, in 1832. His brothers, John Richard, Thomas, and Colin joined him later, and all four brothers eventually married Louisiana brides. When Robert Conway married Marie Constance Conway in 1847, two prosperous and prestigious families were joined. Although the portraits of Robert and Constance pre-date their wedding, it is not surprising that each would have commissioned a likeness by Amans, the most sought after portraitist in the New Orleans area in the 1840s.

In 1847, Constance Conway married Robert Conway, who had emigrated from Alexandria, Virginia to New Orleans in about 1832. Robert’s brother, John Richard Conway, also came to New Orleans and held the office of Mayor from 1868-1870, following his marriage to Eliza Waggaman in 1857. A third Conway brother, Thomas, married Constance’s sister, Clementine, in 1854. The joining of the two Conway families appears to be an intriguing coincidence, as the two lines were not related; while the St. James Parish Conways had Irish ancestors, the Virginia Conways descended from English relations.

As Jacques Amans rose to distinction as the premier portraitist in the New Orleans area in the 1840s, prominent families were eager to commission him to paint likenesses. Although many Amans’ portraits were created with a monochromatic background, the artist occasionally utilized an outdoor scene behind the sitter, as is the case with Constance Conway’s portrait. Other examples of this background presentation may be seen in “Portrait of Jeanne Roman Holding a Dove” from the early 1840s and also “Portrait of Clara Mazureau” from 1838. Indeed, the partition wall behind each sitter in the Mazureau portrait and present Conway portrait are nearly identical. Equally important, the brushwork in each of these portraits is among the finest in Amans’ oeuvre. The delicate handling of facial features and hair, combined with the sophisticated depiction of the 1840s-era fashions could not be more elegantly brought to life than in these portraits of young women in their finery.

This three-quarter length portrait of Robert Conway is remarkably similar to the 1834 portrait of Charles Urquhart by Amans; the right-facing seated pose in the same scroll-arm fauteuil (which can be seen in at least three other portraits by Amans) and the position of Conway’s arms exactly replicate those of Urquhart, although Urquhart holds a book in one hand while Conway does not. Additionally, the proportion, brushwork, and painted details of the clothing and facial features are certainly as fine as those in Amans’ portraits of other New Orleans gentlemen.

480. Jane Peterson (American, 1876‑1965), “Tiger Lillies”, oil on canvas, signed lower center, signed, titled and inscribed on label en verso, 25 in. x 30 in., framed. $4000/6000 Note: Against the conventions of her time, artist Jane Peterson traveled the world alone, painting street scenes, urban and natural vistas, and bold, avant‑garde compositions of flowers, such as the depiction of Tiger Lilies offered here. Her critically acclaimed works combine an academic attention to naturalistic detail with thoroughly modern, striking color combinations and loose, expressive brushstrokes. Peterson associated with and drew influence from the artistic luminaries of the 20th century, attending Gertrude Stein’s famous salons while living in Paris and traveling with Louis Comfort Tiffany, Maurice Prendergast, and Childe Hassam. Peterson may be best known for her paintings of flowers, as she authored an instructional book on that topic entitled Flower Painting in 1946. She is quoted as saying, “I paint flowers because they are my friends and I love them. They have personalities just as animals, birds and people (do), and are very sensitive to kindness, attention and to their surroundings.”

The carvings on all three of the aforementioned sideboards are likely the work of journeyman Thomas Whitman, who is known to have worked with the Seymours between 1805 and 1809.

Note: The distinctive headboard, rails, posts and tester on this bed are nearly identical to those on four known tester beds attributed to William McCracken (New Orleans/Baltimore 1808-1872): One in the Parsonage, Natchez, MS; one from Shadows on the Teche, New Iberia, LA (Neal Auction Company lot 497, Feb. 6, 1988); lot 574 sold by Neal Auction Company, Nov. 13, 1988; and lot 820, sold April 18, 2009.

500. Rare Pair of Santo Domingo Mahogany Armoires, late 18th/early 19th c., molded cornice, flush panel doors, adjustable shelf interior, scalloped apron, notched cabriole legs, hoof feet, h. 70 in., w. 56 1/2 in., 23 in. $15000/25000 Provenance: Schwartz Antiques, Philadelphia, c. 1980.

Note: This pair of armoires is illustrated and discussed in Furnishing Louisiana as one of the few surviving examples of early West Indian flush-panel construction. The technique was brought to Louisiana by émigré craftsmen and would become a defining characteristic of the Creole style. An interior plaque on one armoire indicates they were made by St. Domingue cabinetmakers, reading: Made by slaves on the estate of Etienne Bellumeaude in San Domingo prior to 1770/Adelaide de la Vincendiere Lowe Jenkins 1820/Enouch Louis Lowe 1861/Adelaide Lowe Jenkins 1892/Mary Adelaide Jenkins 1918.

The overall form, the flush-panel construction, v-shaped door rails, shaped skirts, and rounded cornices of the present lot are nearly identical to those on an armoire made circa 1796 for Stephen Girard by two St. Domingue émigrés, Jean-Baptiste Laurent and Charles Domballe, working in Philadelphia (Fig. 7) and a similar armoire that descended in the de la Vergne family of New Orleans (Fig. 6).

Smith, Breaux Bridge, LA and closely relate to other well-known Creole-style chairs, including one in the Sebastian Louis Kleinpeter Home, an example found in the Holden Family Collection, and another collected at Bayou Bend Collection in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (B.2007.27).

The particularly low seat heights of these chairs, ranging from 10-12 inches, distinguish them from other Louisiana slatback side chairs. The versatile low adult chair was used as steps for mounting high Louisiana beds, as prie-dieux, slipper chairs, or as stands for chamber pots.

588. Jose‑Maria Cundin (Spanish/Louisiana, b. 1938), “The Malevolent Order of the Golden Eel”, 1979, oil on canvas, signed and dated “79” lower right, signed, dated “1978” and inscribed “Escena para Maria la Cochinita, Houston, TX” en verso, 60 in. x 50 in., framed with artist and title plaque. $20000/40000 Ill.: Biguenet, John, ed. New Orleans Review. Vol. 9, No. 1, Spring/Summer 1982, p. 48.

Note: Born in Bilboa in the heart of Spain’s Basque country in 1938, Cundin says he became a citizen of the world, but never lost the spirit and tragic romanticism of his homeland. He writes that being Basque means “I see and face life as a mysterious and ancient existential commitment.” It is perhaps these same mysterious and romantic qualities evident in his work that has made Cundin’s paintings resonate so powerfully in his adopted home of Louisiana.

Cundin first came to the United States in 1958 and established himself in New Orleans in 1964. He has since lived in Folsom, LA for many years. Over the course of his career, the artist has been featured in more than 40 solo shows and participated in numerous collective exhibitions. His works have been featured in countless books, magazines and literary journals, and his paintings and sculptures are included in the permanent collections of public institutions and private collections worldwide.

Cundin’s subject matter and style have transitioned regularly throughout his long career, with each new development evidencing the artist’s mastery of color and light. His early works are figurative, representational and focused on portraiture. Later, the artist shifted into his plastic art and abstract series, often revisiting and experimenting with his earlier concepts.

Calling to mind Diego Velázquez’s “Las Meninas”, the early painting offered here exemplifies Cundin’s ability to imbue his works with an enigmatic narrative that both invites and defies interpretation. The opposing colors and dramatic lighting give the scene a foreboding quality that contrasts with the almost whimsical and humorous characters inhabiting the space. The figures are classic Cundin fantastical eccentrics, who stand out for their individuality.

Regarding his inspiration for this monumental and significant canvas, Cundin writes of “The Malevolent Order of the Golden Eel”: “The painting is indeed a beautiful and important piece in my curriculum. The writing on the back “Escena para Maria La Cochina” (Scene for Filthy Mary) makes reference to the series in which “The Malevolent Order of the Golden Eel” belongs. Filthy Mary was a famous, and by the way, excellent restaurant in Bilbao, Spain (my home town). In that establishment, I had many memorable experiences and encounters and now and then succumbed to the temptation of evoking some of its scenes and happenings. “The Malevolent Order of the Golden Eel” is actually the “The Benevolent Order of the Golden Eel” ( La Benevolente Orden de la Angula de Oro). It was instituted by my late friend, Jose Maria Martin de Retana, author and editor of La Gran Enciclopedia Vasca, to honor annually the most prominent citizen of Bilbao. The honoree could be a person from any realm of life. Although I was never invested with this esteemed tribute, I took license to review and perpetuate in images and exaggerations the Gargantuan events that took place in that famous locale.”

Neal Auction Company expresses its sincere appreciation to the artist, Jose-Maria Cundin, for his assistance.

Note: To be included in John Fowler’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné on William Aiken Walker.

Note: Knute Heldner is known for his impressionistic depictions of Louisiana bayous and the historic French Quarter. He also painted a small body of figural compositions that are equally successful. The sublime work offered here depicts a young woman with her son seated next to her, selling fruit in a stall in the French Market. By all accounts, Heldner was a deeply religious man. The painting here aesthetically evokes the Virgin Mary and Jesus, with the shawl draped over the woman’s head and the boy leaning onto her arm. Heldner renders the scene with brilliant color and expressive brushwork, including the vibrant life of the Vieux Carré on the street in the background.

The painting offered here is one of the first of McCrady’s spiritual works which does not rely on mysticism or fantasy, but conveys the sentiment in a direct narrative manner.

Provenance: Neal Auction Company, Dec. 9, 1995, lot 561.

Note: Marie Seebold was an accomplished painter active in late 19th and early 20th century New Orleans. Seebold spent about five years studying in New York City under the American Impressionist William Merritt Chase whose influence is recognizable in the soft, delicate brush work of Seebold’s floral still life paintings. Chrysanthemums were a favored subject and one in which she excelled. The work offered here shows an arrangement of white and gold blossoms overflowing in a brown vase.

An exceedingly large composition of chrysanthemums with the artist’s palette was sold in these rooms on December 5, 1998 and is now in the collection of the Louisiana State Museum.

New Orleans: Jean Bragg Gallery, 2004, p. 12.

Note: Harold Rudolph was active in New Orleans in the 1870s and 1880s. He was praised for his portrait paintings and landscapes in the local papers at the time.

Rudolph exhibited his work with the preeminent W.E. Seebold Gallery on Canal Street, where he had a studio on the upper level. Skilled at depicting sunsets and nocturnal skies, in the painting offered here Rudolph masterfully depicts a fiery sunset at last glow reflected in the bayou in the foreground, which is framed by darkened cypress trees. A crescent moon lights the sky as it turns to night.

As is often found in his work, a pirogue with figures plies the water on the right side of the composition. Few of Rudolph’s Louisiana landscapes are extant. His work is in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, LSU Museum of Art, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

Paul Ninas (American/New Orleans, 1903‑1964), “Procession”, oil on masonite, signed lower right, 24 in. x 48 in., framed. $7000/10000 Note: Paul Ninas was an early, influential modernist of the South, often described as the “Dean of Modern Art” in New Orleans. In December 1940, the Delgado Museum in New Orleans presented a major Picasso exhibition organized by the Museum of Modern of Art. The show made an impact on Ninas, for his work becomes increasingly abstract from this point forward. The painting offered here certainly shows the influence of Picasso with its cubist figures and strong geometry. The brightly colored composition favors primary colors for the figures set against a green ground.

631. Reuben Robert Kramer (American, 1909‑1999), “Male Nude”, 1937, patinated bronze, verdigris patina, signed and dated on base “Cast No. 1 Kramer/ ©1937 Roman Bronze Works N.Y.”, h. 52 in., w. 13 in., d. 19 in. $5000/7000

Note: Reuben Kramer was an acclaimed sculptor from Baltimore known for his sensitive depictions of the human figure.

Kramer studied at the Maryland Institute’s Rinehart School of Sculpture. In 1934, he won the coveted Prix de Rome and spent the next two years studying at the American Academy in Rome. The sculptures offered here were created in 1937, the year after he returned from his studies in Italy. Kramer’s sculptures went through a rigorous, multi-step process of creation from clay to bronze. Unlike some artists, who leave work to assistants, he participated in his sculpture from beginning to end. The two sculptures here demonstrate complete mastery of the human form inspired by classical Greek and Roman traditions.

In 1978, the Baltimore Museum of Art presented a fifty-year retrospective exhibition pf Kramer’s work. Despite many commissions, achieving great success and renown, Kramer’s work rarely appears on the market.

635. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Hot Dog for a Cool Day”, 1992, oil on mahogany with neon, signed lower left, signed, dated and titled en verso, 22 in. x 19 1/2 in. $25000/35000 Note: George Rodrigue began early in his Blue Dog series to consider the dilemma of turning the strictly two-dimensional image of the Blue Dog into a three-dimensional sculpture. By 1992, the artist had created prototypes consisting of flat cut-outs of wood, usually mahogany, and painted as if they were canvas. As seen in the work offered here, he occasionally surrounded these pieces with neon or added other familiar elements to the shape, such as the hot dog. The effect is not all that different from a Blue Dog painting on the wall however, so Rodrigue continued his experimentation. The early sculpture offered here is a whimsical and rare window into Rodrigue’s artistic evolution to his later, fully-realized three-dimensional Blue Dog sculptures.

Note: Artists have gravitated towards the French Quarter of New Orleans for over a century in order to capture the charm and unique architecture that appeals to locals and tourists alike. Many of these artists, such as Clarence Millet, Alberta Kinsey and Colette Pope Heldner, made their living by selling paintings of Jackson Square and the famous thoroughfares of the Quarter. In contrast, Robert Rucker, in the work offered here, offers a rare, intimate view of an antique store and sidewalk, with the carefully composed diagonal composition and empty chair inviting the viewer into the scene. As he developed his mature style, Rucker blended the stylized realism of John McCrady, his mentor, with the painterly impressionism of Knute Heldner, whose work he greatly admired. The artist’s attention to detail and precise draftsmanship can be seen in his depictions of French Quarter architecture and in his many steamboat paintings.

Most of this furniture in the Japonesque taste was produced by firms in New York working from French antecedents such as Victor Quentin’s Le Magasin de Meubles.

Writing in the 1870’s Clarence Cook called the new faux bamboo style “capital stuff” for a country house. Among faux bamboo makers, Robert J. Horner established his furniture business in 1883 on East 23rd Street, New York, producing work to satisfy a variety of tastes including pieces in the Japonesque mode such as the subsequent offering.

Note: Robert Colescott was an African-American figurative painter who is known for his colorful expressionist paintings that confront the themes of racism, gender and social inequality. In his obituary in the NY Times, esteemed art critic Roberta Smith described him as a “an American figurative painter whose garishly powerful canvases lampooned racial and sexual stereotypes with rakish imagery, lurid colors and almost tangible glee.”

Born in Oakland, CA, Colescott was inspired by Sargent Johnson, an African-American sculptor who worked with his father on the railroad. After studying painting and drawing at the University of California, Berkeley, Colescott traveled to Paris to study with Fernand Léger, drawn by the city’s racial tolerance and thriving community of African-American artists. Following a sojourn in Cairo, Egypt, he returned to the West Coast, where he became a leading figural painter. Colescott received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1985; represented the United States at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997 (the first African- American to do so); and was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1999. He taught for forty-three years as professor of art at the University of Arizona, until his retirement in 1997. His work is in the collections of museums across the country, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo, NY, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN. The work offered here, entitled All Roads Lead to Rome, demonstrates his cartoonish style of depicting figures and the political and graphic nature of his work. Two Egyptian figures and a row of pyramids frame the background behind a black woman who states “Giaconda!
