James Coignard (French, 1925-2008)

paper, plate size 21 x 16 1/2 in. (53.3 x 41.8 cm), framed.
Condition: Subtle rippling, not examined out of frame.

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
46 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.

N.B. Tzara was a member of the Dada movement and later


joined the Surrealists. L’Antitête was written as three
anthologies, and in this second edition of the work, each artist
illustrated one volume - Ernst the first, Tanguy the second,
and Miró the last. 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.

Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925-2008)

Howl, from the SEVEN CHARACTERS Series, 1982, a series of 70


unique collage pieces (Gemini, RR82-10; Old Gemini, 1035). Signed
and dated “RAUSCHENBERG 82” in pencil l.r., stamped with Chinese
character and “HOWL” on the reverse, stamped “© Gemini G.E.L.”

77.4 cm), presented in a Plexiglas box.
Condition: Good.
Provenance: Purchased from Jacqueline Silverman, Beverly Hills,
California, 1983; to the estate of Mary Lee Ingbar, Cambridge,
Massachusetts.

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.
141 By removing these elements from their original contexts through their
cutting and reassembly, Rauschenberg created new relationships and
contexts.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
296 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.

We wish to thank Anne Louise Avery for her assistance in cataloging


this lot.

Exhibition,” 1-31 Jan. 1911 [no catalogue], Museum of 298
Fine Arts, Boston, Paintings Department, Loan Card No.
1785.10 (1910) [unpublished].

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.

Paul) (Clark) (Alexander) Owsley, Delray Beach, Florida, and Islesboro, Maine (wife of Maitland A. 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

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.

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 (1851-
1938).

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.

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. (23.5 x 19.7 cm); Garden initialed
and dated “H. VII. 34” in pen l.l., also initialed “H.” in pen l.r., inscribed “Hermann Hesse” in pencil on the reverse, ink

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.

N.B. Goodwin is best known as a painter of Boston street scenes


and its waterfront from 1900 to 1921. Though he was a self-taught
artist, he was encouraged to paint by Louis Kronberg, and at one
point shared a studio with him.1 He worked en plein air on an easel
in all seasons, often in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. Goodwin
typically worked directly on his support, without the use of
underdrawing, and by the 1920s, his brushwork became more
vigorous and loose.2

The Avenue, alternatively titled Th’ Avenue


Signed “Hogarth Jr.” in pen u.r., titled in pen l.c., also signed and inscribed “Rockwell Kent/1262 Richmond
Terrace./Staten Island.” in ink on the reverse.
Ink on paper/board, 8 x 10 1/16 in. (20.3 x 25.6 cm), framed.
Condition: Mat burn, paper patches, tape residue verso, taped and glued to window mat along top margin.

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.

Maxfield Parrish Jr. (American, 1906-1983)

Lot of Two Illustrated Letters to John Haven Emerson and Irene

Cloth-bound seven-page letter signed “M. Parrish Jr.” in pen on sixth
page, single-page letter unsigned.
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

11, 1945; Exhibition of Paintings by Yves Tanguy, Pierre Matisse Gallery, April 21 to May 9, 1942.

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

Literature: Rudloff, Martina, Gerhard Marcks, 1889-1981:

no. 609.

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

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.

Skinner, Inc. - Conditions of Sale
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and
Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. 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.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the
purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of
the date of sale.

Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If
any property has not been removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and
the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three
days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after
deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds to the purchaser.

5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank
authorization has been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check
until the check has cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the
drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment methods. Skinner does not accept payment by credit card for merchandise purchases.

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all
items for which it was the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without
limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b)
offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to
pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.

7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such
purchaser for such item.

8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the
United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that
include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of
licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute
cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.

9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.
Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other
qualifying parties can apply for a Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of
Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.

10. Except for property purchased via on-line Live Auctions, a premium equal to 18.5% of the final bid price up to and including $200,000, plus
10% of the final bid over $200,000, will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the Buyer as part of the purchase price. The buyers premium on
property purchased via on-line Live Auctions will be in the amount equal to 22.5% of the final bid price up to and including $200,000, plus 15%
of the final bid over $200,000.

11. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and all other terms announced at the time of sale whether bidding in person,

12. Skinner, Inc. and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or
reproduction rights to any lot sold. Skinner, Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalogue. The
copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Skinner, Inc. relating to a lot, including the contents of this

prior written consent.

13. These conditions of sale shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or
choice of law). The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any
federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
