46

N.B. James Coignard lived and worked near Nice, where in 1950 he became friendly with Braque, Matisse, and Chagall. He later befriended the modernist painter, Henri Goetz, who in 1967 invented the carborundum print (silicon carbide engraving). Goetz immediately taught this medium to Coignard, Joan Miró, and Antoni Clavé. Miró had a solo exhibition of his carborundum prints at MoMA in 1970.

Coignard, however, was the most compulsive of this group of early experimenters with carborundum, and achieved critical acclaim for creating prints that possessed all of the texture of a painting with heavy impasto. Their painting-like appearance, marked by the deep, heavy texture of a bas-relief was owed, in part, to his thick, handmade papers. Coignard worked in vibrant primary colors— dramatic swashes of blue, red, yellow, green, and black—which are the signature accents of his abstract compositions. $300-350

The first edition had a frontispiece by Picasso, but this illustration had only a cursory relationship to the text. In the edition presented here, not only do the illustrations relate directly to the text, but the scale of the publication makes for close reading, both literally and figuratively, allowing for a very intimate relationship between reader and volume.

N.B. Rauschenberg conceived of this series as a collaborative project with China and its artists, using the working title of “China Collage” series, at a time when China was far from open to Westerners. Rauchenberg’s work is highly self-contextualized with elements drawn from his immediate surroundings. While he came to China with a plethora of materials to employ in the project, he found inspiration in the elements he discovered around him. Rauschenberg chose to visit the Anhui province where the famous “1,000 year paper” or Xuan paper is produced. Here he also found the calligraphic symbols - chosen for both their forms and meanings that would be the basis for the series. He was drawn to the silk wedding bed cloths that would evolve into the hanging medallions, and the Chinese propaganda posters that contained the paper collage elements he would ultimately employ. Even the seals he applied upon completion of the collages—those of the paper mill, the artist, and the publisher—came from Chinese antecedents.

The result was a group of seventy unique compositions, each with variations in the poster elements, the silk medallions, and the ribbons.

By removing these elements from their original contexts through their cutting and reassembly, Rauschenberg created new relationships and contexts. $12,000-18,000

William Alexander (British, 1767-1816) Chinese Barges of the Embassy Preparing to Pass Under a Bridge, plate XL from Sir George Staunton’s An Authentic Account of An Embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China…

Signed and dated “Wm. Alexander f 1793.” l.l., identified on a label on the reverse.

Watercolor on paper/board, sight size 11 x 17 3/4 in. (27.9 x 45.1 cm), framed.

Condition: Toning, staining, foxing, not examined out of frame.

N.B. William Alexander traveled in the first English embassy to China, which was led by George Lord Viscount Macartney. It sailed out of Portsmouth on September 26th, 1792.

The secretary to the embassy was Sir George Staunton, who wrote a careful account of the journey that was illustrated by engravings created after Alexander's watercolors. The first version of the Account was published in 1797 in two volumes plus a folio of plates by W. Bulmer & Co. in London. Alexander documented the people, architecture, and customs of all of the cultures encountered during the voyage, although the published plates pertain solely to the Chinese. His drawings, as can be seen here and in lot 219, are highly detailed and his observations of both the Chinese and British in these settings are carefully rendered. $1,000-1,500

William Alexander (British, 1767-1816) A View of Part of the Great Wall of China, Called by the Natives Van-lee-ching, or Wall of Ten Thousand Lee, Taken Near the Pass of ‘Cou-Pe-Koo,’ plate XXIV from Sir George Staunton’s An Authentic Account of An Embassy...

Signed and inscribed “Alexander/delr.” l.r., identified on labels affixed to the reverse.

Watercolor on paper/board, sight size 11 x 17 3/4 in. (27.9 x 45.1 cm), framed.

Condition: Toning, foxing, light abrasion l.c., not examined out of frame.

N.B. The watercolor presented here shows several differences from the published engraving: the horse in the right foreground lacks a rider in the engraved version, and the figures by the base of the near tower are removed in the plate. The description for the plate in Staunton’s Account indicates how amazed the British were with the wall. The folio describes the wall as follows: “At this place the wall is carried over the summits of the highest mountains, some of which are not less than three thousand feet in perpendicular height, and appear to be almost inaccessible... This wall, according to the charts of the empire made from actual surveys, is more the fifteen hundred miles in length, and in many places it is double, and even triple, for the better defence of the passes. The masonry and brickwork in the towers alone exceed those of all London.” (volume I, page xxii). $1,000-1,500

Exhibitions: London, Hazlitt Gallery, Barbizon exhibition, 1956, no. 2.

N.B. Constant Troyon was born in Sèvres and began his career as a painter of porcelain, following family tradition. By the 1830s he had abandoned this path for a life as a landscape painter, making his debut at the Salon of 1833. Troyon became one of the central artists of the Barbizon school. By 1840 he was painting with Théodore Rousseau and Jules Dupré, and in 1844 he submitted two views of Fontainebleau to the Salon. Troyon enjoyed great success as a painter, winning acceptance into many expositions in France and abroad. In 1847 Troyon made a seminal trip to Holland, which would change the course of his art. Inspired by the Dutch artists, Troyon refocused his work on animals painted in the natural landscape, and he earned renown as an animalier. He was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1849. He lived mostly in Normandy and Paris, except for short trips to England and the Low Countries, where this scene is located. The painting Le Canal is also described as La Petite Écluse. Constant Troyon died unexpectedly in 1865, and the Salon of 1866 paid tribute to his career.

William Bradford (American, 1823-1892) The Coast of Labrador Unsigned, identified on a label from William Vareika Fine Arts, Newport, Rhode Island, on the reverse.

Oil on canvas, 18 x 30 in. (45.9 x 76.3 cm), framed.

Condition: Lined, retouch, craquelure.

Provenance: Skinner, Inc. auction #2387 of American & European Paintings & Prints, November 16, 2007, lot 76.

N.B. William Bradford, one of the preeminent Marine painters of the 19th century, was born and raised near the harbor town of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Against the wishes of his strict Quaker parents, he pursued a career in painting. Initially self-taught, Bradford began to study with Dutch painter Albert Van Beest in the late 1850s, and the two artists frequently collaborated. Starting in 1861, Bradford made a series of trips to Labrador and the Arctic, where he was profoundly influenced by the bright light and vivid colors of the region. His paintings of the Arctic contain rich detail in sailing vessels and fishermen while at the same time they capture the expressiveness of the clouds, water, and ice formations. This rich scenery and atmospheric light remained a constant source of inspiration for Bradford throughout his career.

254A. Gustave Courbet (French, 1819-1877) Waves Crashing on a Rocky Shore/An Artist’s Palette Dedicated and signed “Souvenir d’exil à mon ami Fuchs, G. Courbet” l.l.

Oil on panel, 14 1/2 x 26 1/4 in. (36.5 x 67.0 cm), framed (in a shadow box).

Condition: Minor retouch, craquelure, minor wear/losses to edges.

Literature: Abel Letalle, Palettes d’artistes, Paris, 1912, pp. 37-38 as Marine, executé sur une palette; Robert Fernier, La vie et l’oeuvre de Gustave Courbet: catalogue raisonné, Geneva: Fondation Wildenstein; Lausanne: Bibliotèque des Arts, 1977-1978, v.2 peintures 1866-1877, no. 978.

Provenance: Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, 123 palettes d’artistes peintes, June 10, 1911, no. 29; The Estate of Sir Edwin A.G. Manton.

N.B. “In the second half of the 19th century in Paris, a fashion appeared for artists to paint an image on a palette, intended as a gift and often so inscribed. It might be said that the responsibility for this taste can be attributed at least in part to the activities of an American man named George Lucas. Lucas lived for many years in Paris, acting as an agent for the many American collectors in the city of that time. He was very successful in bringing artists and patrons together, and the artists often expressed their gratitude in the form of the painted and dedicated palettes—no doubt often encouraged by Lucas to do so. Ultimately his collection held 71 works on palette, now in the collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art. Though Courbet did not have a special relationship to Lucas, he would have been fully aware of the fashion. The inscription on the palette under review includes the phrase “souvenir d’exil.” When Courbet left France for Switzerland in mid-1873, to remain there until his death in 1877, he considered himself to be in exile; not officially so, but self-exiled because he had to escape from the vengeance of the government towards him in the aftermath of the Commune. Thus, though the identity of M. Fuchs is not known, we can be sure that the palette was painted while Courbet was in Switzerland, and most probably given to a fellow exile of some kind, as Switzerland was known at the time as a political haven.

The inscription and signature on this painting appear to me to be characteristic of the artist’s style. The painting itself shows under magnification the kind of varied, energetic activity of paint handling that is characteristic of Courbet’s work. He chooses a familiar subject, stormy waves racing in to a rocky shore, but he does not choose familiar composition. Rather than the typical straight-on view which puts the viewer head-on to the waves, he invents a left-to-right composition dominated by high cliffs filling the larger left side of the palette space, while waves and sky fill the narrower space at the right. In short, he used the vagaries of the palette shape to create a new type of composition.” –Sarah Faunce, Courbet Critical Catalogue, New York, April 2010 We wish to thank Sarah Faunce for her assistance with cataloguing this lot. $20,000-30,000

Condition: Retouch, skinning, craquelure, surface grime.

N.B. Prentice was a self-taught painter who grew up in the Adirondack Mountain region, and was working in Syracuse as a landscape painter by 1872. His work is characterized by small and careful brushwork where, despite pictorial depth, the details of both foreground and background are simultaneously in focus. The autumn scene depicted is meditatively still, and this calm mood is reflected in the stag poised in the foreground. $15,000-25,000

William Louis Sonntag (American, 1822-1900) Eagle Rock on the Potomac Signed and titled “W. L. Sonntag...” on the reverse, with a stenciled label from Edward Dechaux, New York, on the reverse.

Oil on canvas, 11 1/8 x 18 in. (28.3 x 45.8 cm), framed.

Condition: Paint loss c.l., minor retouch.

N.B. This landscape by William Louis Sonntag was probably painted in the late 1850s. It is unusual insofar as Sonntag titled the painting on the back of the canvas. In his early years, Sonntag painted in the areas of Cincinnati, Ohio, northern Kentucky, and northern West Virginia. There is an Eagle Rock in the Potomac State Forest in western Maryland, which may be the site of this painting. Sonntag was raised in Cincinnati, and, despite his family’s wishes to the contrary, began the study of art in 1842. His career in Cincinnati reached its height in the 1850s, with frequent exhibitions and sales.

During this time Sonntag was commissioned by the director of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to paint the scenery along their new line across the Alleghenies. It is possible that Eagle Rock was accessible to Sonntag via river travel or perhaps via railroad.

281

The composition contains several elements characteristic of Sonntag’s paintings in the 1850s. The spatial organization is typical of the period, with the jutting rock filling the foreground and creating a focal point, while the other side opens up to a wide landscape. Small figures are included, often in pairs, with a touch of red in their jackets or hats. Sonntag typically did not include animals, only an occasional flock of birds, as seen here on the left.

Condition: Lined, tape to the tacking edge, slight wear to edges, retouch, signature reinforced, craquelure, surface grime.

Provenance: By family descent to the present owner.

N.B. Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait was born in Liverpool, however, as a child moved to the English countryside near Lancaster where he first became interested in nature, animals, hunting, and fishing. By the 1840s Tait relocated to Manchester where he worked at Agnew’s Repository for the Arts, and discovered the work of Edwin Landseer and John Frederick Herring. Herring’s use of color, in particular, inspired the young artist. In 1850, Tait, after viewing an exhibition of George Catlin’s paintings of the American West, decided to move to America. He settled in New York where he painted views of the surrounding Adirondacks. He purchased a farm in Westchester Country, which offered the opportunity to paint animals in their natural environment. Tait is best known for these realistic, narrative scenes, often featuring animals and huntsmen, using rich natural colors. $8,000-12,000

N.B. Anne Louise Avery, who is preparing the catalogue raisonné of Edward Mitchell Bannister’s paintings and drawings, has written an authentication analysis of Forest Interior. The following information is drawn from her report.

296

The forest is a constant in E.M. Bannister’s artistic imagination. The artist was endlessly and passionately inspired by the trees and deep ancient woods of the East Coast. Tree-shaded paths, winding through, entering, or skirting the forest interior, are familiar motifs in Bannister’s work. Often, the pathways are punctuated by bucolic figures, such as a woodcutter or cow herder. Others suggest man’s presence more subtly through built structures such as fences.

However, some, such as this forest scene, suggest a human presence only by a man-made path. The composition of Forest Interior, with the strong vertical structure of the dominant oak tree and the curving path drawing the eye into the spatial recesses of the painting, represents a framework typical of Bannister. The small opening of pale blue sky and white clouds, letting light and energy into the work, is very idiosyncratic, both compositionally and symbolically, as is the gently rising bank in the lower right foreground.

The distinctive treatment of the grasses is a hallmark of Bannister’s wooded landscapes, and the loose, soft brushwork describing the tree can also be positively matched with a number of Bannister’s works. The execution of the clouds, in particular, is closely comparable with finished oil works from the 1880s and 1890s, while the muted Tonalist palette is typical of Bannister’s color choices in his mature years as an artist.

This oil sketch was made on a 1/2 sheet of academy board that bears a partial Frost & Adams label. The light, disposable academy board was popular among professional artists in the late 19th century for rapid oil sketch and studies, particularly for en plein air painting.

The majority of works on academy board within Bannister’s oeuvre tend to be loose, compositionally less formal sketches and studies, and the absence of a signature is unsurprising in the case of a plein air oil sketch on academy board. The iconographic and methodological factors discussed above make it extremely likely that the painting was executed between 1881 and 1901, probably in the early 1890s, by Edward Mitchell Bannister.

N.B. The work was included in the late Henry A. La Farge’s Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of John La Farge, and we wish to thank Dr. James L. Yarnall for updating and supplementing the information for inclusion in this catalog entry.

La Farge moved from New York to Newport in the spring of 1859 to study painting with William Morris Hunt. He nonetheless frequently visited Glen Cove, Long Island, where his family had a large summer property that had been purchased by his father sometime before 1835. The impressive Glen Cove estate, extending over some fifty acres, could be accessed directly by boat from both Hempstead Harbor and Glen Cove Bay. On October 15, 1860, La Farge married Margaret Mason Perry in Newport after a year-long courtship that had been complicated by differences between her Episcopalian faith and his Roman Catholic religion. The couple apparently spent time at Glen Cove after the wedding as a means of reconciling the marriage with La Farge’s mother, who had been widowed in 1858.

La Farge painted a handful of small oils during this stay at Glen Cove. They depict the lush woods and rolling hillsides surrounding the La Farge country house. All are small plein-air exercises executed on wood panels (La Farge’s preferred medium at the time). All were intended to capture the light conditions and naturalistic features of the terrain in the spirit of French Realist or Barbizon art. These paintings reflect La Farge’s disenchantment with his training in the studio of William Morris Hunt, where La Farge criticized Hunt’s “formulas” and forged a self-proclaimed “programme” to study “realistic painting” as a fresh start.

Exhibited at Leonard’s Gallery in 1879 as “1860. Autumn: October. Edge of a wood, late afternoon. Glen Cove, L.I. Panel. 12 1/2 x 9 1/2,” Higginson evidently purchased the picture at the auction. When Higginson lent this picture in late 1910 to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for the La Farge Memorial Exhibition, he registered it as “Autumn, edge of wood, Long Island,” a title very similar to that assigned by the catalogue of the 1879 Leonard’s Gallery exhibition/auction. A registration photograph taken at the time of the Memorial Exhibition also identifies this as the work loaned by Higginson.

A comparable work, Autumn: October. Hillside, Noonday, Glen Cove, Long Island, 1860, is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, bequeathed by Mrs. Henry Lee (Ida Agassiz) Higginson in 1935. $15,000-25,000

Alexander Jr., M.D.); estate of Anne P. Owsley.

N.B. We wish to thank Kathleen M. Burnside for her assistance in cataloging this lot; the work will be included in the forthcoming Childe Hassam catalogue raisonné by Stuart Feld and Kathleen M. Burnside.

Frederick Childe Hassam worked in pastel for a brief period in the late 19th century, and was one of the last new members admitted to the Society of Painters in Pastel in 1890.1 Hassam’s earliest known work in pastel dates to 1887 when he was in Paris studying at the Académie Julian, and he is believed to have made approximately eight pastels between 1887 and 1889.2 The present work was likely one of three “very spirited little pictures representing scenes at the Grand Prix de Paris” reviewed in The Art Amateur for the fourth and last exhibit of the Society of Painters in Pastel held May 1890 at the Wunderlich Gallery in New York.3 The existence of two other small pastels of the Grand Prix are known: Watching the Grand Prix, Longchamps, 1889, 14 x 10 in., location unknown, and At the Grand Prix in Paris (Au Grand Prix de Paris), 1887, 18 x 12 in., Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. According to Kathleen Burnside, the present work may also have been exhibited at Doll & Richards in Boston, February 1891.

The Paris Grand Prix Day parades ushered in the beginning of each horse racing season, and were spectacles of power and elegance. In 1887, Hassam created two, nearly identical large-scale compositions of the Grand Prix procession in oil, one of which was shown at 1888 Paris Salon and described as “a very brilliant picture, full of life and light and movement, and instinct with the gayety of the bright French capital.”4 The two works—at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and New Britain Museum of American Art, respectively—depict rows of carriages on a boulevard near the Champs-Élysées and couples in fashionable dress, executed with his characteristically tight brushwork and dappled light effects.

By contrast, the present work imparts a softer, more relaxed mood, owing largely to the looseness of the medium. The scene depicted as well is more relaxed—the race-goers have finally arrived at the course in the Bois de Boulogne where they are less implicitly “on display” and focused on watching the race from their carriage. In capturing the stray glance of the one young lady in the present work, Hassam creates a sense of intimacy for the viewer and individualizes his subject.

Paul Howard Manship (American, 1885-1966) Portrait of the Artist’s Daughter Sarah Jane Signed and dated “PAUL MANSHIP 1929” on the underside.

Plaster, 6 x 18 x 9 in. (15.2 x 45.7 x 22.8 cm), in an inscribed wooden crate.

Condition: Surface grime, chips to foot joint, abrasions.

Provenance: From the artist to his daughter, Sarah Jane Murtha, as stated in his will dated 1965.

N.B. Although known for his public monuments such as the Prometheus Fountain in Rockefeller Center, this sculpture of the artist's daughter offers a more intimate view of Manship's work. It was most likely completed shortly after Sarah's birth, on June 19, 1929, in Paris.

Throughout his career, Manship was able to seamlessly blend traditional and modern aesthetics. From 1909 to 1911, he studied in Rome where he was exposed to Classical and Archaic sculptures, often directly referencing them in his own works. By the 1920s Manship's style was beginning to change, especially visible in his portraiture. Murtha writes, "over the years the style of Manship's portraits progressed from a formal point of view towards characterization and spontaneity"1 This work, with the pose of the baby and the drapery of the fabric, certainly reflects Manship's shifted emphasis towards realism and the illusion of mass. A reproduction of this work in marble is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925) Portrait of Henry L. Higginson II Signed and dated “John S Sargent Dec 21st 1916” l.c.

Charcoal on paper with watermark “L. BERVILLE (France), sheet size 24 3/4 x 18 3/4 in. (63.0 x 46.8 cm), unmatted, unframed.

Condition: Sheet is mounted to archival paper to stabilize the margins, subtle rippling, toning, acid burn and foxing in the margins.

Provenance: From the estate of Henry Lee Higginson and Ida Agassiz, by descent through the family to the current owner.

N.B. John Singer Sargent remained in great demand throughout his career as a portrait artist for the leading individuals of his day. Over time Sargent came to prefer making charcoal drawings of his subjects. He could complete these portraits relatively quickly, often in one sitting, and the medium was very well suited both to his technical virtuosity and his adeptness at capturing his subject. Between 1910 and 1925 Sargent made over 500 such portrait drawings, while limiting his oil portraits to under thirty.1 The subject of this charcoal portrait, Henry Lee Higginson II (1900-1981), was the grandson of Henry Lee Higginson and Ida Agassiz Higginson.2 Henry Lee Higginson was a businessman and philanthropist, the founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and a benefactor of Harvard University. Ida Agassiz Higginson was the daughter of Louis Agassiz and was a founder of Radcliffe College. Sargent’s charcoal portraits of Henry Lee Higginson (done in 1911) and Ida Agassiz Higginson (done in 1917) are in the collection of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.

N.B. We wish to thank Kaycee Benton for her assistance with cataloguing the lot; the work will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Curran.

The present work was the Thomas B. Clarke prize winner at the National Academy of Design in 1893, when Stanford White acquired the work.

White was a renowned architect but also a “consummate designer, enthusiastic and willing to work in any medium” from metalsmithing to woodworking.1 White’s foray into frame design may have sprung as a diversion from his architectural renderings, but it became an integral part of his interior designing. He sourced Old Master and contemporary paintings for both his own collection and those of his clients. Of the frames that White designed from scratch, there is a “common decorative motif that he enhanced with combinations of different moldings to make frames of different widths.”2 He was also known to make custom frames for particular works of art. The frame on the present work is reminiscent of the Stanford White frame on Portrait of Helen Sears by Abbott Thayer, dated 1892, which shows comparable abutting S-scrolls throughout. The S-scrolls in the present frame, however, are broader and wave-like, to complement the subject of Curran’s work. The cresting wave motif is repeated again in the ornament band surrounding the work.

Paul Howard Manship (American, 1885-1966) and Gaston Lachaise (American, 1882-1935) Plaster Sketch-model for a Pediment, c. 1916 Unsigned.

Plaster with patina, 15 3/16 x 3 1/2 (at its apex) x 1 5/8 in. (38.6 x 8.9 x 4.2 cm).

Provenance: Paul Manship to Herbert Lewis Kammerer, then by descent to the present owner.

N.B. The present model represents a proposal for the crowning element of the John Pierpont Morgan Memorial, a commission awarded to Paul Manship in 1914 and partly designed and executed by Gaston Lachaise (Manship’s studio assistant by 1914 until 1921). The model was made by casting a hollow-backed triangular shape in plaster, then carving on the face, in low relief, a border featuring an anthemion with acanthus-scroll ornament and graceful, buoyant figures, and within, a sleeping lion about to awaken to a new dawn—suggesting perpetual renewal.

One of many plaster studies for the project, it is the only known example now extant, and it documents the artistic interaction between these sculptors in about 1916, when the memorial’s uppermost component was envisaged as a low-pitched gable. Several of its features—such as the foliate decoration and the levitating figures rendered in Lachaise’s personal style—reappear in the full-scale plaster model, carried out with Lachaise’s significant participation from February 1917 to September 1918 (cover illustration, V. Budny, New York’s Left Bank: Art and Artists off Washington Square North, 1900-1950, New York, 2006), and in turn in the limestone memorial, carved entirely by him during the next two years. Installed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 1920, the work commemorates John Pierpont Morgan (1827-1913), a titan of finance and the museum’s former trustee, benefactor, and president.

We are grateful to Virginia Budny for her assistance in preparing the catalog entry for this work. $4,000-6,000

Irving Ramsey Wiles (American, 1861-1948) A Walk Along the Harbor Shore Signed “Irving R. Wiles” l.r.

Oil on canvas, 16 1/8 x 22 in. (41.0 x 55.8 cm), in a frame liner.

Condition: Surface grime.

Provenance: Descended within a New England family collection.

N.B. Irving Ramsey Wiles was born in upstate New York. He was introduced to painting by his father, artist Lemuel Wiles (1826-1905), but it was not until he studied at New York’s Arts Students League that he determined to make his father’s profession his own. It was here that Wiles first met his mentor, William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), and the two remained lifelong friends. After two years at the Arts Students League Wiles went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, perhaps at the suggestion of another of the League’s teachers, Thomas Wilmer Dewing (18511938).

Like many of his late 19th century contemporaries, Wiles used the “new” vitality of the Impressionist brush stroke and palette to express the beauty of the world around him. Not unlike Chase, Wiles was known for his dexterous and energized portraits, which often idealized his subjects by placing them in elegant attire and settings. Wiles often depicted his female subjects in white dresses. Out of doors, they were frequently drenched in warm sunlight and dashed with blue brushstrokes of shadow, a technique regularly employed by Chase, as well as John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) and Frank Weston Benson (1862-1951).

Although portraiture was considered his forté, Wiles also painted the hills and shores of Long Island. In the late 1890s Wiles built a studio and cottage on the shores at Peconic, and he summered there regularly with his family.

Here he found painting the out-of-doors a pleasant change from the bustle of portrait painting in the city. The work presented here reflects both aspects of his career, as we see an elegant young woman in white strolling the shore, while the breeze and sun of a blustery morning enliven both the figure and her surroundings. $50,000-75,000

1911-031a in the George Bellows catalogue raisonné compiled by H.V. Allison & Co. Carl A. Weyerhaeuser was the grandson of Frederik Weyerhaeuser, lumber magnate and founder of the Weyerhaeuser Company, and the son of Charles A.

Hermann Hesse (Swiss/German, 1877-1962) Lot of Two Works: Ticino Lake View, Probably Lake Lugano, Montagnola, Switzerland and Summer Garden, Casa Rossa, Montagnola Lake inscribed, dated and initialed “Skizze 1926 HH.” in pencil l.l. and l.c., respectively, inscribed “Hermann Hesse” in pencil on the reverse, watercolor on Ingres laid paper, sheet size 9 1/4 x 7 3/4 in.

Condition: Lake with tape residue to u.r. and u.l. corners, subtle handling creases.

Provenance: Gift from the late collection of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Polk, Long Island, New York, and Midwale, New Jersey, to the present owner.

N.B. Best-known as the author of Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse began painting in watercolor as early as 1916, and with vigor by 1919. Hesse sought refuge in Montagnola in 1919, after suffering some political pressure from German nationalists, the loss of his father, and his wife’s onset of schizophrenia. He settled into several rooms at the Casa Camuzzi, a country house with an exotic garden which inspired his short story, Klingsor's Last Summer, as well as his work in watercolor. After 1931, Hesse moved to the neighboring estate of Casa Rossa, where he lived with his third wife, Ninon Dolbin, until his death. At Casa Rossa, he had a large plot of land for gardening, and he devoted himself to cultivating it. He came to regard gardening as a meditative practice, and this experience informed his serial-turned-novel, The Glass Bead Game.

We wish to thank Regina Bucher of the Fondazione Hermann Hesse Montagnola for her assistance with cataloging the lot. $4,000-6,000

N.B. Goodwin is best known as a painter of Boston street scenes and its waterfront from 1900 to 1921.

Goodwin typically worked directly on his support, without the use of underdrawing, and by the 1920s, his brushwork became more vigorous and loose.2 1.

Literature: Vanity Fair, January 1916, p. 50; Chappell, George S., A Basket of Poses, New York: Albert and Charles Boni, 1924.

N.B. The drawing of a busy city avenue scene––replete with cold-weather-bundled dainties and a gendarme directing a bustle of sport cars, buses and limousines––first appeared as an illustration to George S. Chappell’s “poetic panorama,” “Th’ Avenue.” The published caption for this illustration is partially incorrect in that it refers to the drawing as “a rare wood engraving” by William Hogarth, Jr. Although the attribution to William Hogarth, Jr.––Rockwell Kent’s pseudonym––is correct, the illustration is indeed a brush (possibly pen as well) and ink drawing. (Kent’s drawings were often misidentified as wood engravings or woodcuts.)

Kent collaborated with George S. Chappell on numerous publication ventures throughout the second and third decades of the twentieth century, many of which appeared in Vanity Fair and Puck. Kent and Chappell knew each other from professional architectural circles; the Ewing and Chappell architectural firm, based in New York City, began as the result of a commission from Kent’s mother, Sarah––a house designed by her architecturally trained son; Kent worked off and on as a draftsman for Ewing and Chappell (during the first two decades).

This particular illustration, and the poem “Th’ Avenue,” was reprinted in A Basket of Poses – an anthology of Kent’s and Chappell’s satirical collaborations.

Ink and graphite on stationery, sheet sizes to 10 7/8 x 8 3/8 in., single-page letter unframed.

Condition: Folds, handling creases.

N.B. John Haven “Jack” Emerson was the cousin of Maxfield Parrish Jr. through his mother, and the grandnephew of poet Ralph Waldo Emerson through his father. A designer of scientific instruments and medical equipment, he is best known as the inventor of an improved iron lung, which he unveiled in 1931. The design was based on the work of Philip Drinker and Dr. Louis Agassiz Shaw, but was a more efficient and economical version.1 Drinker sued Haven for patent infringement, but the courts sided with Haven. Parrish Jr., who had helped Haven with illustrations for his company publications, provided illustrations of the iron lung that were used in the suit. The topic of the lawsuit and iron lung is depicted with levity on pages 3 and 4 of the bound letter, which depicts Justice casting a mean gaze on Drinker.

We wish to thank Alma Gilbert-Smith for her assistance with cataloging the lot.

Literature: Emily Braun, Manet to Matisse: The Hillman Family Collection, Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1994, pp. 54-57 (illus.).

N.B. In Emily Braun’s analysis of the landscape composition of the present work, she notes that the two figures depicted in the foreground may allude to the twin sons of Zeus, Castro and Polydeuces—also known as the Dioscuri—but may also represent the artist and his brother, Alberto Savinio.1 Supporting this interpretation, Braun cites the depiction of eyes in the lower left, which commonly represented for De Chirico “the visionary powers of the artist” or “the omnipotence of the gods.”2 Of the portrait composition on the reverse, Braun contextualizes the work within the Parisian surrealist circle of Paul Eluard, Gala Dali’s first husband. She notes that Eluard was a patron of De Chirico c. 1923, and that De Chirico associated with the couple through 1926.3 1. Emily Braun. Manet to Matisse: The Hillman Family Collection.

Tanguy left France for the United States in 1939, where he developed a new painting vocabulary.

He noted “a feeling of greater space here—more ‘room’” and an “intensification of color” which the art historian Roland Penrose described as Tanguy’s substitution of earth tones for “more strident reds and blues.”1 Of Tanguy’s work of the 1940s, the poet John Ashbury observed forms of “new bulk and density”; “The [depicted] universe is no longer exclusively mineral; some of its tenants appear to be made of wood, paper or cloth. There are strange tissue-like folds, bones creatures not only colored like jellyfish but of some viscous milky white/or magenta pulp, weeping, burning to the touch like sodium. And these forms have begun to proliferate, pullulate, assuming ever more complex, incestuous relationships.”2 What Ashbury alludes to is the way that Tanguy’s compositions can be at once animate and static, organic and inorganic, whole and fragmented, nature-sprung and man-made. In the present work, simply in the way he aggregates forms, Tanguy evokes an absurd notion of hierarchy amongst what are essentially automatons. There are human-like appendages that suggest the potential for movement but little sense of a motive for action. Even though the cast shadows convey solidity, each aggregate can also be reduced to a precarious pile of parts. The scene can be interpreted as both desolate and fanciful—a wasteland of parts as much as a quixotic landscape with figures on a journey.

We wish to thank the Yves Tanguy Committee of the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation for their assistance with cataloging the lot. It is the Yves Tanguy Committee’s intention to include this oil on canvas in the revised edition of the Yves Tanguy catalogue raisonné.

N.B. Spanish-born José Guerrero first arrived in New York in 1950 with his American wife, Roxane Whittier Pollock. The couple settled in Greenwich Village (with Guerrero setting up a studio in the adjacent SoHo District), but also passed summers at a rental house on Martha’s Vineyard. Guerrero remained in New York for the next eight years, where on the introduction of his dealer Karl Bucholz, he was introduced to Betty Parsons. Through Parsons’ circle, Guerrero met fellow abstract expressionist artists Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell.1 Guerrero’s work of the 1950s through mid-1960s is characterized by his use of industrial materials, including silicate, to call attention to the materiality of the two-dimensional surface.

We wish to thank the Centro José Guerrero for their assistance with cataloging the lot; the work will be included in their forthcoming digital catalogue raisonné.

N.B. Animals were an early subject for Marcks, and one he revisited after World War II. In an essay on his work between the years of 1951 to 1961, Marcks recalls Myron’s Cow, which was praised by both Pliny and Goethe as expressing qualities above mere naturalistic representation—balance and harmony—in discussing his own complicated feelings about animals as his muse. “Animals were my first friends and models,” he writes, noting that when life was difficult “I again escaped to the [Berlin] Zoo, fancying that I could find peace only with animals—creatures who wanted nothing of me, and of whom I wanted nothing but permission to admire them.”1 It was his growing empathy with animals, however, that lead him eventually to disregard the zoo as “imprisonment.” “I saw them now exactly in correspondence to ourselves, often cruelly deformed by slavery...but always undisguised, in their unambiguous expressive power.”2 1.

Graham Vivian Sutherland (British, 1903-1980) Tree Roots: Dwarf Oak, 1949 Signed and dated “Sutherland 1949” in pen l.r., identified on a label from The Redfern Gallery, Ltd., London, on the backing.

Mixed media on paper mounted to matboard, sheet size 4 3/8 x 7 3/8 in. (11.1 x 18.7 cm), framed.

Condition: Trimmed sheet, mat burn, subtle toning.

N.B. The present work is an example of Sutherland’s lifelong fascination with organic forms and fragments found in nature, particularly roots and branches. For Sutherland, these subjects are not simply cold specimen studies, though depicted close-up. In the present work, energetic lines create stark contrasts between surfaces and recesses, giving the object a sense of twisting in space. Sutherland spoke of dwarf oaks as having “the most extraordinary beautiful, varied and rich shapes which detach them from their proper connotation as trees. One does not think of them so much as trees, more as figures; they have the same urgency that certain movements of figures can have in action.”1 Sutherland frequently used his sketchbook studies to develop finished compositions in the studio, and the present work, as evidenced by a spiral bound margin, was presumably one.

Hung Liu (Chinese/American, b. 1948) Silk Road, 1989/A Triptych Unsigned, identified on labels affixed to the backing.

Oil and graphite on canvas with silkscreen on silk collage, left and center panel 80 x 52 in. (203.2 x 132.1 cm), right panel 80 x 24 in. (203.2 x 61.0 cm), unframed.

Condition: Subtle canvas deformations.

Provenance: Through Nahan Contemporary Gallery, New York.

N.B. Hung Liu grew up under the Maoist “Cultural Revolution,” where she was trained to paint murals in the Socialist Realist tradition. After having completed fine art degrees in Beijing, she immigrated to the United States to obtain her MFA at the University of California, San Diego.

Hung Liu’s works, which take on the large scale of both mural and history paintings, are personal in content but necessarily informed by politics. Her works engage with the idea of repressed individual expression under the Communist regime, but also explore the power of images as icons. They frequently depict Chinese countrymen and women (based on historical photographic portraits) against an abstracted background which allows her to show relationships between the past and present synoptically.

Hung Liu spent time in the Gobi Desert along the Silk Road while studying the devotional and monumental Buddhist murals at Dunhuang, and was deeply influenced by the early art she saw and the local history.1 In the present work, the image of a woman holding a fan in a sedan chair is “twice-removed” in that she is a silkscreen from a photograph. In this way, the truth-value of the photograph is diluted, making the image function more as a memory than a presence. The silk that the silkscreen is printed on calls attention to the work’s own manufacture but also lends realism to the silk robe in the background, evoking the history of the silk trade and alluding to possible transgressions along it.

In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,� and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale.
