N.B. James Coignard lived and worked near Nice, where in 1950 hebecame friendly with Braque, Matisse, and Chagall. He laterbefriended the modernist painter, Henri Goetz, who in 1967 inventedthe carborundum print (silicon carbide engraving). Goetz immediatelytaught this medium to Coignard, Joan Miró, and Antoni Clavé. Miróhad a solo exhibition of his carborundum prints at MoMA in 1970.Coignard, however, was the most compulsive of this group of earlyexperimenters with carborundum, and achieved critical acclaim forcreating prints that possessed all of the texture of a painting withheavy 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 arethe signature accents of his abstract compositions.

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

The result was a group of seventy unique compositions, each withvariations in the poster elements, the silk medallions, and the ribbons.By removing these elements from their original contexts through theircutting and reassembly, Rauschenberg created new relationships andcontexts.

218.William Alexander (British, 1767-1816)

Chinese Barges of the Embassy Preparing to Pass Under a Bridge, plate XL from SirGeorge Staunton’s An Authentic Account of An Embassy from the King of GreatBritain 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 byGeorge 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 ofthe journey that was illustrated by engravings created after Alexander's watercolors. Thefirst version of the Account was published in 1797 in two volumes plus a folio of plates byW. Bulmer & Co. in London. Alexander documented the people, architecture, andcustoms of all of the cultures encountered during the voyage, although the publishedplates 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 settingsare carefully rendered.

(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 inthe right foreground lacks a rider in the engraved version, and the figures by the base of the near towerare removed in the plate. The description for the plate in Staunton’s Account indicates how amazed theBritish were with the wall. The folio describes the wall as follows: “At this place the wall is carried over thesummits of the highest mountains, some of which are not less than three thousand feet in perpendicularheight, and appear to be almost inaccessible... This wall, according to the charts of the empire made fromactual 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 allLondon.” (volume I, page xxii).

N.B. Constant Troyon was born in Sèvres and began his career as a painter of porcelain, following family tradition. By the1830s he had abandoned this path for a life as a landscape painter, making his debut at the Salon of 1833. Troyon becameone of the central artists of the Barbizon school. By 1840 he was painting with Théodore Rousseau and Jules Dupré, and in1844 he submitted two views of Fontainebleau to the Salon. Troyon enjoyed great success as a painter, winning acceptanceinto many expositions in France and abroad. In 1847 Troyon made a seminal trip to Holland, which would change thecourse of his art. Inspired by the Dutch artists, Troyon refocused his work on animals painted in the natural landscape, andhe earned renown as an animalier. He was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1849. He lived mostly in Normandy andParis, except for short trips to England and the Low Countries, where this scene is located. The painting Le Canal is alsodescribed as La Petite Écluse. Constant Troyon died unexpectedly in 1865, and the Salon of 1866 paid tribute to his career.

Provenance: Skinner, Inc. auction #2387 of American & European Paintings & Prints, November 16, 2007, lot76.

N.B. William Bradford, one of the preeminent Marine painters of the 19th century, was born and raised near theharbor town of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Against the wishes of his strict Quaker parents, he pursued acareer in painting. Initially self-taught, Bradford began to study with Dutch painter Albert Van Beest in the late1850s, and the two artists frequently collaborated. Starting in 1861, Bradford made a series of trips to Labradorand the Arctic, where he was profoundly influenced by the bright light and vivid colors of the region. Hispaintings of the Arctic contain rich detail in sailing vessels and fishermen while at the same time they capture theexpressiveness of the clouds, water, and ice formations. This rich scenery and atmospheric light remained aconstant source of inspiration for Bradford throughout his career.

Literature: Abel Letalle, Palettes d’artistes, Paris, 1912, pp. 37-38 as Marine, executé sur une palette; Robert Fernier, La vie et l’oeuvrede Gustave Courbet: catalogue raisonné, Geneva: Fondation Wildenstein; Lausanne: Bibliotèque des Arts, 1977-1978, v.2 peintures1866-1877, 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 giftand often so inscribed. It might be said that the responsibility for this taste can be attributed at least in part to the activities of anAmerican man named George Lucas. Lucas lived for many years in Paris, acting as an agent for the many American collectors in thecity of that time. He was very successful in bringing artists and patrons together, and the artists often expressed their gratitude in theform of the painted and dedicated palettes—no doubt often encouraged by Lucas to do so. Ultimately his collection held 71 works onpalette, 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 thepalette under review includes the phrase “souvenir d’exil.” When Courbet left France for Switzerland in mid-1873, to remain there untilhis death in 1877, he considered himself to be in exile; not officially so, but self-exiled because he had to escape from the vengeanceof the government towards him in the aftermath of the Commune. Thus, though the identity of M. Fuchs is not known, we can be surethat the palette was painted while Courbet was in Switzerland, and most probably given to a fellow exile of some kind, as Switzerlandwas 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 undermagnification the kind of varied, energetic activity of paint handling that is characteristic of Courbet’s work. He chooses a familiarsubject, stormy waves racing in to a rocky shore, but he does not choose familiar composition. Rather than the typical straight-onview which puts the viewer head-on to the waves, he invents a left-to-right composition dominated by high cliffs filling the larger leftside of the palette space, while waves and sky fill the narrower space at the right. In short, he used the vagaries of the palette shapeto create a new type of composition.” –Sarah Faunce, Courbet Critical Catalogue, New York, April 2010

Eagle Rock on the PotomacSigned and titled “W. L. Sonntag...” on the reverse, with a stenciledlabel 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 paintedin the late 1850s. It is unusual insofar as Sonntag titled the paintingon the back of the canvas. In his early years, Sonntag painted in theareas of Cincinnati, Ohio, northern Kentucky, and northern WestVirginia. There is an Eagle Rock in the Potomac State Forest inwestern Maryland, which may be the site of this painting. Sonntagwas raised in Cincinnati, and, despite his family’s wishes to thecontrary, began the study of art in 1842. His career in Cincinnatireached its height in the 1850s, with frequent exhibitions and sales.During this time Sonntag was commissioned by the director of theBaltimore and Ohio railroad to paint the scenery along their new lineacross the Alleghenies. It is possible that Eagle Rock was accessibleto Sonntag via river travel or perhaps via railroad.

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

N.B. Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait was born in Liverpool, however, as a child moved to theEnglish countryside near Lancaster where he first became interested in nature,animals, hunting, and fishing. By the 1840s Tait relocated to Manchester where heworked at Agnew’s Repository for the Arts, and discovered the work of EdwinLandseer and John Frederick Herring. Herring’s use of color, in particular, inspiredthe young artist. In 1850, Tait, after viewing an exhibition of George Catlin’spaintings of the American West, decided to move to America. He settled in NewYork where he painted views of the surrounding Adirondacks. He purchased a farmin Westchester Country, which offered the opportunity to paint animals in theirnatural environment. Tait is best known for these realistic, narrative scenes, oftenfeaturing animals and huntsmen, using rich natural colors.

(46.1 x 31.0 cm), framed.Condition: Wear to edges of artist board, tack hole in each uppercorner, minor paint losses along left edge at center, fine craquelure.

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

The forest is a constant in E.M. Bannister’s artistic imagination. Theartist was endlessly and passionately inspired by the trees and deepancient woods of the East Coast. Tree-shaded paths, windingthrough, entering, or skirting the forest interior, are familiar motifs inBannister’s work. Often, the pathways are punctuated by bucolicfigures, such as a woodcutter or cow herder. Others suggest man’spresence more subtly through built structures such as fences.However, some, such as this forest scene, suggest a humanpresence only by a man-made path. The composition of ForestInterior, with the strong vertical structure of the dominant oak tree andthe curving path drawing the eye into the spatial recesses of thepainting, represents a framework typical of Bannister. The smallopening of pale blue sky and white clouds, letting light and energyinto the work, is very idiosyncratic, both compositionally andsymbolically, as is the gently rising bank in the lower right foreground.The distinctive treatment of the grasses is a hallmark of Bannister’swooded landscapes, and the loose, soft brushwork describing thetree can also be positively matched with a number of Bannister’sworks. The execution of the clouds, in particular, is closelycomparable with finished oil works from the 1880s and 1890s, whilethe muted Tonalist palette is typical of Bannister’s color choices in hismature years as an artist.

This oil sketch was made on a 1/2 sheet of academy board thatbears a partial Frost & Adams label. The light, disposable academyboard was popular among professional artists in the late 19th centuryfor rapid oil sketch and studies, particularly for en plein air painting.The majority of works on academy board within Bannister’s oeuvretend to be loose, compositionally less formal sketches and studies,and the absence of a signature is unsurprising in the case of a pleinair oil sketch on academy board. The iconographic andmethodological factors discussed above make it extremely likely thatthe painting was executed between 1881 and 1901, probably in theearly 1890s, by Edward Mitchell Bannister.

Exhibitions: Leonard’s Gallery, Boston, The Drawings,Water-Colors, and Oil-Paintings by John La Farge. To beSold at Auction, 18-19 Dec. [1879], lot no. 54 (oils);Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, “La Farge MemorialExhibition,” 1-31 Jan. 1911 [no catalogue], Museum ofFine 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 GlenCove, Long Island, where his family had a large summer property that had been purchased by his father sometime before 1835. The impressive GlenCove 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 differencesbetween her Episcopalian faith and his Roman Catholic religion. The couple apparently spent time at Glen Cove after the wedding as a means ofreconciling 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 Fargecountry house. All are small plein-air exercises executed on wood panels (La Farge’s preferred medium at the time). All were intended to capture thelight conditions and naturalistic features of the terrain in the spirit of French Realist or Barbizon art. These paintings reflect La Farge’s disenchantmentwith 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,” Higginsonevidently purchased the picture at the auction. When Higginson lent this picture in late 1910 to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for the La FargeMemorial Exhibition, he registered it as “Autumn, edge of wood, Long Island,” a title very similar to that assigned by the catalogue of the 1879Leonard’s Gallery exhibition/auction. A registration photograph taken at the time of the Memorial Exhibition also identifies this as the work loaned byHigginson.

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.

N.B. We wish to thank Kathleen M. Burnside for her assistance in cataloging this lot; the work will be included in theforthcoming 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 membersadmitted to the Society of Painters in Pastel in 1890.1 Hassam’s earliest known work in pastel dates to 1887 when he was inParis studying at the Académie Julian, and he is believed to have made approximately eight pastels between 1887 and1889.2

The present work was likely one of three “very spirited little pictures representing scenes at the Grand Prix de Paris” reviewedin The Art Amateur for the fourth and last exhibit of the Society of Painters in Pastel held May 1890 at the Wunderlich Galleryin 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., CorcoranGallery 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 andelegance. In 1887, Hassam created two, nearly identical large-scale compositions of the Grand Prix procession in oil, one ofwhich was shown at 1888 Paris Salon and described as “a very brilliant picture, full of life and light and movement, andinstinct with the gayety of the bright French capital.”4 The two works—at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and New BritainMuseum of American Art, respectively—depict rows of carriages on a boulevard near the Champs-Élysées and couples infashionable 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. Thescene depicted as well is more relaxed—the race-goers have finally arrived at the course in the Bois de Boulogne where theyare less implicitly “on display” and focused on watching the race from their carriage. In capturing the stray glance of the oneyoung lady in the present work, Hassam creates a sense of intimacy for the viewer and individualizes his subject.

Throughout his career, Manship was able to seamlessly blendtraditional and modern aesthetics. From 1909 to 1911, he studied inRome where he was exposed to Classical and Archaic sculptures,often directly referencing them in his own works. By the 1920sManship's style was beginning to change, especially visible in hisportraiture. Murtha writes, "over the years the style of Manship'sportraits progressed from a formal point of view towardscharacterization and spontaneity"1 This work, with the pose of thebaby and the drapery of the fabric, certainly reflects Manship's shiftedemphasis towards realism and the illusion of mass. A reproduction ofthis work in marble is in the collection of the Smithsonian AmericanArt Museum.

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 hisday. Over time Sargent came to prefer making charcoal drawings of his subjects. He could complete these portraits relativelyquickly, often in one sitting, and the medium was very well suited both to his technical virtuosity and his adeptness at capturinghis subject. Between 1910 and 1925 Sargent made over 500 such portrait drawings, while limiting his oil portraits to underthirty.1 The subject of this charcoal portrait, Henry Lee Higginson II (1900-1981), was the grandson of Henry Lee Higginson andIda Agassiz Higginson.2 Henry Lee Higginson was a businessman and philanthropist, the founder of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, and a benefactor of Harvard University. Ida Agassiz Higginson was the daughter of Louis Agassiz and was a founderof Radcliffe College. Sargent’s charcoal portraits of Henry Lee Higginson (done in 1911) and Ida Agassiz Higginson (done in1917) 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 catalogueraisonné 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 towoodworking.1 White’s foray into frame design may have sprung as a diversion from his architectural renderings, but it became an integral partof his interior designing. He sourced Old Master and contemporary paintings for both his own collection and those of his clients. Of the framesthat White designed from scratch, there is a “common decorative motif that he enhanced with combinations of different moldings to makeframes of different widths.”2 He was also known to make custom frames for particular works of art. The frame on the present work isreminiscent of the Stanford White frame on Portrait of Helen Sears by Abbott Thayer, dated 1892, which shows comparable abutting S-scrollsthroughout. The S-scrolls in the present frame, however, are broader and wave-like, to complement the subject of Curran’s work. The crestingwave motif is repeated again in the ornament band surrounding the work.

332.Paul Howard Manship (American, 1885-1966) and Gaston Lachaise (American, 1882-1935)

Plaster Sketch-model for a Pediment, c. 1916Unsigned.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 MorganMemorial, a commission awarded to Paul Manship in 1914 and partly designed and executed by GastonLachaise (Manship’s studio assistant by 1914 until 1921). The model was made by casting a hollow-backedtriangular shape in plaster, then carving on the face, in low relief, a border featuring an anthemion withacanthus-scroll ornament and graceful, buoyant figures, and within, a sleeping lion about to awaken to a newdawn—suggesting perpetual renewal.

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

A Walk Along the Harbor ShoreSigned “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 LemuelWiles (1826-1905), but it was not until he studied at New York’s Arts Students League that he determined to makehis father’s profession his own. It was here that Wiles first met his mentor, William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), andthe two remained lifelong friends. After two years at the Arts Students League Wiles went to Paris to study at theAcadémie 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 andpalette to express the beauty of the world around him. Not unlike Chase, Wiles was known for his dexterous andenergized portraits, which often idealized his subjects by placing them in elegant attire and settings. Wiles oftendepicted his female subjects in white dresses. Out of doors, they were frequently drenched in warm sunlight anddashed 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 late1890s 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 workpresented 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.

N.B. Best-known as the author of Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse began painting in watercolor asearly as 1916, and with vigor by 1919. Hesse sought refuge in Montagnola in 1919, after suffering some politicalpressure from German nationalists, the loss of his father, and his wife’s onset of schizophrenia. He settled intoseveral rooms at the Casa Camuzzi, a country house with an exotic garden which inspired his short story, Klingsor'sLast 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 forgardening, and he devoted himself to cultivating it. He came to regard gardening as a meditative practice, and thisexperience 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 catalogingthe lot.

The Avenue, alternatively titled Th’ AvenueSigned “Hogarth Jr.” in pen u.r., titled in pen l.c., also signed and inscribed “Rockwell Kent/1262 RichmondTerrace./Staten Island.” in ink on the reverse.Ink on paper/board, 8 x 10 1/16 in.

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

N.B. The drawing of a busy city avenue scene––replete with cold-weather-bundled dainties and a gendarme directing abustle 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 rarewood engraving” by William Hogarth, Jr. Although the attribution to William Hogarth, Jr.––Rockwell Kent’spseudonym––is correct, the illustration is indeed a brush (possibly pen as well) and ink drawing. (Kent’s drawings wereoften misidentified as wood engravings or woodcuts.)

Kent collaborated with George S. Chappell on numerous publication ventures throughout the second and third decadesof the twentieth century, many of which appeared in Vanity Fair and Puck. Kent and Chappell knew each other fromprofessional architectural circles; the Ewing and Chappell architectural firm, based in New York City, began as the resultof a commission from Kent’s mother, Sarah––a house designed by her architecturally trained son; Kent worked off andon 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 andChappell’s satirical collaborations.

N.B. John Haven “Jack” Emerson was the cousin of Maxfield ParrishJr. through his mother, and the grandnephew of poet Ralph WaldoEmerson through his father. A designer of scientific instruments andmedical equipment, he is best known as the inventor of an improvediron lung, which he unveiled in 1931. The design was based on thework of Philip Drinker and Dr. Louis Agassiz Shaw, but was a moreefficient and economical version.1 Drinker sued Haven for patentinfringement, but the courts sided with Haven. Parrish Jr., who hadhelped Haven with illustrations for his company publications, providedillustrations of the iron lung that were used in the suit. The topic ofthe lawsuit and iron lung is depicted with levity on pages 3 and 4 ofthe bound letter, which depicts Justice casting a mean gaze onDrinker.

N.B. In Emily Braun’s analysis of the landscape composition of the present work, she notes that the two figures depicted in theforeground may allude to the twin sons of Zeus, Castro and Polydeuces—also known as the Dioscuri—but may also represent theartist and his brother, Alberto Savinio.1 Supporting this interpretation, Braun cites the depiction of eyes in the lower left, whichcommonly represented for De Chirico “the visionary powers of the artist” or “the omnipotence of the gods.”2 Of the portraitcomposition on the reverse, Braun contextualizes the work within the Parisian surrealist circle of Paul Eluard, Gala Dali’s firsthusband. She notes that Eluard was a patron of De Chirico c. 1923, and that De Chirico associated with the couple through1926.3

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” whichthe art historian Roland Penrose described as Tanguy’s substitution of earth tones for “morestrident 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 ofwood, paper or cloth. There are strange tissue-like folds, bones creatures not only colored likejellyfish but of some viscous milky white/or magenta pulp, weeping, burning to the touch likesodium. 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 beat once animate and static, organic and inorganic, whole and fragmented, nature-sprung andman-made. In the present work, simply in the way he aggregates forms, Tanguy evokes anabsurd notion of hierarchy amongst what are essentially automatons. There are human-likeappendages that suggest the potential for movement but little sense of a motive for action. Eventhough the cast shadows convey solidity, each aggregate can also be reduced to a precarious pileof parts. The scene can be interpreted as both desolate and fanciful—a wasteland of parts asmuch 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 theirassistance with cataloging the lot. It is the Yves Tanguy Committee’s intention to include this oilon 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 WhittierPollock. The couple settled in Greenwich Village (with Guerrero setting up a studio in the adjacent SoHoDistrict), but also passed summers at a rental house on Martha’s Vineyard. Guerrero remained in New Yorkfor the next eight years, where on the introduction of his dealer Karl Bucholz, he was introduced to BettyParsons. 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 ofindustrial materials, including silicate, to call attention to the materiality of the two-dimensional surface.

Literature: Rudloff, Martina, Gerhard Marcks, 1889-1981:Retrospektive, Munchen: Hirmer, 1989, p. 307 (illus.); Blaum, Rudolf,et al., Gerhard Marcks Und Die Antike, Heidelberg: Edition Braus,1993 (illus.); Marcks, Gerhard and Martina Rudloff, Gerhard Marcks:Das Plastische Werk, Frankfurt: Propylaen Verlag, 1977 (illus. pl. 52),no. 609.

N.B. Animals were an early subject for Marcks, and one he revisitedafter World War II. In an essay on his work between the years of1951 to 1961, Marcks recalls Myron’s Cow, which was praised byboth Pliny and Goethe as expressing qualities above mere naturalisticrepresentation—balance and harmony—in discussing his owncomplicated feelings about animals as his muse. “Animals were myfirst friends and models,” he writes, noting that when life was difficult“I again escaped to the [Berlin] Zoo, fancying that I could find peaceonly with animals—creatures who wanted nothing of me, and ofwhom I wanted nothing but permission to admire them.”1 It was hisgrowing empathy with animals, however, that lead him eventually todisregard the zoo as “imprisonment.” “I saw them now exactly incorrespondence to ourselves, often cruelly deformed by slavery...butalways undisguised, in their unambiguous expressive power.”2

558.Graham Vivian Sutherland (British, 1903-1980)

Tree Roots: Dwarf Oak, 1949Signed 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 andfragments found in nature, particularly roots and branches. For Sutherland, these subjects arenot simply cold specimen studies, though depicted close-up. In the present work, energetic linescreate stark contrasts between surfaces and recesses, giving the object a sense of twisting inspace. Sutherland spoke of dwarf oaks as having “the most extraordinary beautiful, varied andrich shapes which detach them from their proper connotation as trees. One does not think ofthem so much as trees, more as figures; they have the same urgency that certain movements offigures can have in action.”1 Sutherland frequently used his sketchbook studies to developfinished compositions in the studio, and the present work, as evidenced by a spiral boundmargin, was presumably one.

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 inthe Socialist Realist tradition. After having completed fine art degrees in Beijing, she immigrated to theUnited 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 contentbut necessarily informed by politics. Her works engage with the idea of repressed individual expressionunder the Communist regime, but also explore the power of images as icons. They frequently depictChinese countrymen and women (based on historical photographic portraits) against an abstractedbackground 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 monumentalBuddhist murals at Dunhuang, and was deeply influenced by the early art she saw and the local history.1 Inthe present work, the image of a woman holding a fan in a sedan chair is “twice-removed” in that she is asilkscreen from a photograph. In this way, the truth-value of the photograph is diluted, making the imagefunction more as a memory than a presence. The silk that the silkscreen is printed on calls attention to thework’s own manufacture but also lends realism to the silk robe in the background, evoking the history ofthe silk trade and alluding to possible transgressions along it.
