Francis Joseph Bruguière was born the youngest of four sons into a wealthy San Francisco family in 1879. He trained in Europe as a painter and upon his return in 1905 he visited New York and studied photography with Frank Eugene, one of the founding members of the Photo-Secession movement. Subsequently, Eugene introduced Bruguière to Alfred Stieglitz at the 291 Gallery in New York. This is where he began to share his ideas and practice photography in the Photo-Secessionist circle. Bruguière exhibited four photographs with the Photo-Secessionist group in Buffalo New York in 1910 at the International Photo Secessionist Exhibition at Albright-Knox Art Gallery. This was the only time he formally exhibited with the Secessionist’s. He preferred sharing his photography and ideas on an individual basis. He was persuaded by his circle to publish in Alfred Stieglitz’s seminal quarterly Photographic Journal – Camera Work. In October of 1916, Camera Work : Issue Number 48 an original photogravure by Bruguière was published, simply titled ‘A portrait’. It sat alongside eight other works by Eugene Smith, Paul Strand and Alfred Allen Lewis. A variation of ‘A Portrait’ is the first lot with which we begin this landmark sale of Bruguière’s photographs and negatives. See lot 1. Although Bruguière was one of the most talented and individualist members of this group, he purposefully remained on the fringes. It was clear to him that the direct approach to structure and freedom of form that the spirit of avant-garde art movement exemplified with artists like Picasso, Rodin and Matisse, was moving further into the distance for many members of the Photo Secession. The primary aesthetic concerns for many of these practitioners were still deeply rooted in 19th century pictorialism1. Only a few photographers from the movement such as Edward Steichen, Paul Strand and Alvin Langdon Colburn managed to continually develop their photographic practices and ideas alongside Bruguière2. However, for such a universally respected photographer, little was known about his life and he was not driven to be a part of history. He maintained an indifference towards public recognition and scorned the security of tradition and what he considered ‘bourgeois acceptance’.3 This reticence towards the establishment in both art and society was advocated by many painters and photographers publishing in Camera Work at the time. Marius De Zayas wrote: ‘Our epoch is chaotic, neurotic, inconsequent and out of equilibrium. Art is dead.’ Camera Work no.39 (July 1912) ‘The Sun Has Set’ p.17 The rejection of establishment approval exhibited by some Camera Work contributors, paved the way for the next decade of Avant-Garde ideas, however whilst affording artist’s who adopted this approach a new level of artistic freedom, it also came attached with a self imposed anonymity. If it weren’t for the comprehensive work by James Enyeart in his book Bruguière: His Photographs and His Life, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1977, from which much of the reference material for this catalogue has been drawn, we would not know very much about this pioneer of photography at all. Bruguière’s career can be divided into three major stages. For the purpose of the order of this sale catalogue, we shall employ these stages as sub headings under which lots have been allocated.

Early Influences & New York After Bruguière’s visit to New York in 1905, he returned to San Francisco and opened up a studio on Franklin Street. There, in the words of Stieglitz, he became an ‘enthusiastic practitioner of photography1.’ In his first book, published in 1918 and titled San Francisco, he explored the juxtaposition of image and text and was working in a traditional Pictorialist style. In 1919 he moved to New York and opened a professional studio, where he began to rely on photography as his primary source of income. He began working for the New York Theatre Guild, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Vanity Fair. See lots: 2-18 His highly advanced understanding of lighting and composition, when translating the visions of the great Broadway stage directors onto a photographic tableau, was clearly evident during this period and can be seen in his personal experiments. A short transcript from the article ‘The Camera and the Art Scene’ published in 1924 in the Theatre Arts Anthology, clearly describes his processes and understanding of the different wavelengths of light and how they can be manipulated to the advancement of his imagery. This understanding was fundamental in his photographic experiments and pioneering technical mastery of cut paper abstraction and light experiments during this time See lots: 53, 54. It was during this time that he met his life partner Rosalinde Fuller. He photographed her break-through performance as Ophelia opposite John Barrymore in the 1922 Broadway production of Hamlet. He then met the German dancer Sebastian ‘The Baron’ Droste. Between 1923-1925 he began working on ‘The Way’, a surrealist film with Droste and Fuller as his principle actors. The concept behind this film was to show the different mind states of man. During the making of ‘The Way,’ Droste unexpectedly died from a Brain Haemorrhage2. As a result, the film was never made, leaving only the still images to tell the tale of what could have been. (See lots: 10, 2447, 126) Bruguière said of the work: “The main idea is that of a man who seeks happiness. From the beginning of his pilgrimage to the end, he lives in a world of dreams. He seeks his goal through the love of woman, the vice of drugs, as a clown in the circus, as an Egyptian dancer, through the power of empire, and the ideas of a religious. Things of a day, what we are and what not? Man is a dream of shadows.”3 In 1927, four years before surrealism made an official debut in America, Bruguière exhibited this work and other experiments in his first major one man show at the Arts Centre in New York. It took critics by surprise and the reviews eagerly lauded Bruguière, almost single handedly, as discovering photography as modern art.4 Today, the work is heralded as the first successful surrealist work accredited to an American photographer and has seen fantastic auction success in the past, only limited by the number of works available to the marketplace, see Christie’s New York 4th April 2013; the deLIGHTed eye: Modernist Masterworks from a Private Collection Lot 30.

London 1928-1940 In 1928 Bruguière sold his studio and moved with Rosalinde Fuller to London. He did not re-establish a commercial studio and for the first time in his career, devoted all of his efforts to artistic experimentation. He worked on new ways to expand the ideas that he had been developing in New York. In 1929 he produced multiple exposure imagery for ‘The Unknown Warrior’, a stage production directed by Ellen Van Volkenburg starring Rosalinde Fuller alongside Maurice Browne. See lots: 55-58 He also produced his second book, with text by Lance Sieveking, titled ‘Beyond this Point’ See lots: 119, 158. This was a clear development from the format Bruguière was exploring in his first book ‘San Francisco.’ During this time he also met Oswell Blakeston (see lot 172) and produced Britain’s first abstract film ‘Light Rhythms’ 1931. Bruguière’s multiple exposure work now became more complex in style; the result was an array of novel images alternating between light as form and abstracted forms defined by light.1 see lot: 60. Many images in the following lots are previously unseen views that Bruguière has taken of London. These predated his published multiple exposure work and the negatives were a form of visual research that built up an image library that he later repurposed into other published works. These works are now only believed to be available to view at the John Paul Getty Museum and George Eastman House in New York. Many images taken at this time in London are reminiscent of his earlier pictorialist style and perhaps this is why Bruguière, in a tireless quest to redefine his visual language, chose to further develop these works into photomontages. Never before have they been offered as stand-alone works.

Other Experiments including English Cathedral Abstractions 1929-1944 In 1931 Bruguiere produced his English Cathedral studies, visiting London, Salisbury and Oxford. (see lots 109-116). This work employed Bruguiere’s straight photography talents and was a study in pure design. Upon viewing the interior negatives particularly, there is a strong sense of nostalgia for his earlier work on the Panama Pacific International Exposition. See Bonham’s San Francisco, Photographs 21st May 2008 lot. 21. Bruguiere’s experimentation before 1930 was devoted exclusively to probing the realm of psychologically relevant imagery. Each experiment was an end in itself and was rarely a glorification of form for visual pleasure alone.1 During these years, Bruguière experimented heavily with photographic methods, including Solarization, Sabbatier effect, Straight and Relief-printing, again breaking new ground for some of his contemporaries.. At this stage of his career, he was primarily concerned with the control of shape, tone and the graphic character of shadow. He abstracted real world objects through various effects, using carefully arranged still life compositions and the people closest to him as his models. In these experimentations, any additional meaning became a secondary objective of his work. In this section, there are examples of his personal experimentations and candid portraiture work, giving us an insight into Rosalinde and Francis’ life and relationship together. (see lot137-139, 154 -155a, 163). He moved out of London in 1940 to the small Northamptonshire village of Middleton Cheney to concentrate on his painting however due to failing health he returned to London during this time where he died on Armistice day 1945.

The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply. 1.3 Catalogue descriptions Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description. The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the Catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof. Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representa-tion of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good. 1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine personally any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them. 1.5 Condition report CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.

condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good.

The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price.

Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion. 3.

Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade. Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts. The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible. 4.11 CITES import and export restrictions Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union. Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority. The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of 87
some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter. Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.

The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy. 5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART 5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value. It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest. Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value. Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences. 6. JEWELLERY 6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to: • Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour • Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone • Staining • Irradiation • Coating Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the 88
gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof. A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone. If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only. 6.2 Estimated weights If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy. 6.3 Signatures ‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker. ‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered. ‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client. ‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic. Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details. 7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration. CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto. The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof. Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations. CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps. 8. FURNITURE 8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950 According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements
is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes.CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale. 9.

The Company reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable. 1 JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. 2 Attributed to JMW Turner: In our opinion probably a work by the artist, but less certainly as to the authorship expressed than in the preceding category. 3 Studio of JMW Turner: In our opinion probably a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. 4 Circle of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist and of the period, but not necessarily his pupil. 5 Style of…; Follower of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, but not necessarily his pupil. 6 Manner of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. 7 After JMW Turner: In our opinion a copy (of any date) of a known work of the artist. 8 The term ‘signed’ and/or ‘dated’ and/or ‘inscribed’ means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist. 9 The term ‘with signature’ and/or ‘with date’ and/or ‘with inscription’ means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand than that of the artist. 10 Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated.

This shall not apply to the absence of blanks, half titles or advertisements, to un-named books or to books sold under the heading of ‘binding’ or ‘bindings’. 12. WINES AND SPIRITS In accordance with agreed standards in the trade, estimates shall be deemed to have taken into account the fill level. For the purposes of the present Terms and Conditions, the ‘Fill Level’ refers to the space between the base of the cork and the liquid in the bottle. Fill levels may vary with age or depending on the condition of the wine or spirit. Lack of mention thereof in the description is not a representation of an ‘acceptable’ fill level from CA Ltd. CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to suitability for drinking of the wine or spirit. The Buyer must be aware of the risk that the taste of a wine or spirit may be altered due to factors such as age, storage conditions, oxidation, etc. 13. COPYRIGHT CA Ltd shall own the copyright on all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for CA Ltd relating to a Lot, including catalogue contents. Such copyright shall remain at all times the property of CA Ltd. Neither the Buyer nor anyone else shall use the abovementioned materials without the prior written consent of CA Ltd. Some Lots may be subject to copyright protection, CA Ltd does not guarantee said Lots are free thereof. 14. DATA PROTECTION The Buyer agrees that personal information transmitted to CA Ltd may be disclosed exclusively for the purposes of business, or as required by Law.

For this purpose, a ‘forgery’ is defined as a work created with the intent to deceive. 11. BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS Books and manuscripts sold as incomplete are not subject to returns.
