“St. Anthony’s is a family of resources. I came in looking for one item, and I ended up getting a whole bunch of others. I needed all of them, I just didn’t know it at the time.” ~ Carlos, a Social Work Center client This year, Franklin Bowles Galleries is pleased to donate a portion of the proceeds from its holiday auction to support St. Anthony Foundation which, for 64 years, has offered a gateway out of poverty to the most vulnerable among us: veterans, seniors, the working poor, homeless and low-income residents, recent immigrants, recent parolees, and the mentally and addictively ill. St. Anthony’s mission is to feed, heal, shelter, clothe, lift the spirits of those in need and create a society in which all persons flourish.

People come for food, clothing and healthcare. St. Anthony’s supports them as they pursue training, work, sobriety and purpose. In community with volunteers, donors and guests, they work on long-term solutions to homelessness and hunger while meeting the critical needs of the day.

ST. ANTHONY’S PROGRAMS • St. Anthony’s New Dining Room, re-opened in 2014, and is the only free food program in San Francisco open every day of the year. They serve an average of 2,400 hot, nutritious meals a day to poor and low-income people, including about 300 children.

• St. Anthony’s Medical Clinic is the only pediatric clinic in the Tenderloin. One of the city’s oldest and largest medical clinics, they provide primary and urgent care and specialty services to 3,100 uninsured patients, 20% of whom are children.

• St. Anthony’s Free Clothing Program is the largest in San Francisco. They provide used, ready-to-wear clothing to about 7,300 people, including 300 families sending their children to school, to unemployed and underemployed individuals looking for a job, and to homeless people seeking stability and safety in their lives.

• St. Anthony’s Social Work Center provides counseling, connections to basic services, rental assistance, emergency food boxes, payee services and laundry and haircut vouchers for over 1,600 clients a year, including 140 families.

• The Tenderloin Technology Lab helps bridge the digital divide by offering free basic and advanced computer classes and drop-in computer access for 1,700 low-income and homeless clients.

• The Father Alfred Center is one of the few year-long residential drug and alcohol recovery programs in San Francisco. It empowers 180 residents a year with the resources to overcome their addictions, to build life skills and develop work skills and experience.

• St. Anthony’s volunteer Social ACTion Program brings guests together with volunteers, staff members and the community at large through educational workshops and volunteer opportunities to address the causes at the root of hunger, homelessness, unemployment and addiction. Through the Advocacy Program, St. Anthony’s advocates for policies and programs that address root causes of poverty and that will better serve the needs of poor and homeless people in San Francisco.

ST. ANTHONY’S APPROACH St. Anthony’s Dining Room is more than a place to get a hot meal every day—it is a community. Whether in a residential hotel room or on the street, 83% of St. Anthony’s guests live alone, and the Dining Room is a place to share stories and smiles, a place where someone notices if they do not show up.

St. Anthony’s Gateway Strategy uses the Dining Room as an entry point into their other programs and into other services in the city. To ensure that they draw guests from the Dining Room into other programs, the Dining Room is staffed with St. Anthony’s social workers who talk with guests about other needs and connect them with additional help: food stamps, housing searches, healthcare, computer access and money management and benefit payee services.

Marc Chagall was at odds with the century in which he lived.

Despite this, Chagall's reputation is now secure as one of the most critically acclaimed and popular artists of the century. In an age of science and reason, Chagall defied these prevailing standards by seducing the viewer through the illogical inventiveness of his subject matter and his dazzling use of color.

Chagall's popularity, in part, is due to his art being resistant to over-intellectualization which is the fate of so much art in the past century.

For Chagall, Russia was his past but Paris was his present and future. It was in Paris in 1910 –14 and again in 1923 when he finally settled there that Chagall found himself artistically. He remembered Russia as a world of whites, grays, and blacks. It was in Paris that Chagall discovered and embraced an all-encompassing sense of color. He observed it everywhere from the streets and the sky to paintings in artists' studios and the Louvre. It was a revelation that transformed his art and caused him to later say that in Paris he was born a second time.

While in exile in America, he was finally given his first opportunity to create color prints. The series of 13 color lithographs illustrating Four Tales from the Arabian Nights were begun in 1946 and published in 1948. This publication was an extraordinary achievement considering that it was Chagall's first venture into that medium and that it was printed in New York, devoid of the tradition and skills of color printing that Paris had in abundance. However, in 1948 in the workshop of the Parisian lithographic printer Fernand Mourlot, Chagall finally found his home as a printmaker. Under the patient tutelage of printers like Charles Sorlier, Chagall found color lithography to be the perfect graphic medium for his art. Christopher Conrad has written: "lithography soon became his favored printing technique. This is certainly due primarily to the fact that he could integrate the one element he had previously always missed in his graphic art: color. Color is employed in Chagall's work with greatly varying intensity, from watercolor-like washes and fragile crayon lines to opaque layers whose effect closely resembles that of his luminescent gouaches."

In his greatest color lithographs Chagall created works that are the equal of his finest achievements in painting, drawing, stained glass, and ceramics. Henri Deschamps contributed the wonderful remark, "Chagall, they say he came into the world every morning." To see life afresh each day, to act on one's imagination and impulses in creating an art based on a poetry of feeling is Chagall's gift to the world. His work is done, his achievement secure. It is for us to appreciate his genius and take refuge from an often uncomprehending world in the beauty he left us. – Robert Flynn Johnson, Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

La Tauromaquia BY

PA B L O P I C A S S O La Tauromaquia is a series of 26 aquatint etchings illustrating one of the most important themes of Spanish culture, the art of the bullfight. Created in 1957, as an homage to the seventeenth-century book written by the famous matador, José Delgado, La Tauromaquia, is universally considered one of Picasso’s greatest graphic series.

For Picasso the tradition of the bullfight started in Malaga. At the age of four, Picasso witnessed his first bullfight and was forever entranced with the spectacular pageantry. His childhood notebooks from school were filled with sketches of matadors and bulls, and he made pilgrimages to the bullring throughout his life. It is a little known fact that the very first oil painting ever created by the young master was of a matador (1889 – 1890).

Picasso used the painstaking process of sugarlift or “lift ground aquatint” to create La Tauromaquia. Taught to Picasso by Roger Lacourière, this obscure technique allowed for a variety of tones and textures. David Douglas Duncan, Picasso’s greatest chronicler recalls what it was like to witness the creation of La Tauromaquia:

“In a period of exactly three hours he made the Arles corrida live again. He made all corridas live again. Dipping his slender brush into a dark solution of syrupy sugar, he painted on glistening copper plates. And as he painted I saw, once more, the prancing horse lead matadors and picadors into the arena. . . the first charge of a fighting bull lunging from the chutes. . .the exquisite, almost feminine, footwork of the banderilleros as they danced seemingly suspended just off the horns of the bull. . . the undiminished dignity of the animal, even with his life ebbing away, when he still turned and warily faced his foe. . . then that dedicated moment of mourning, while the slender matador and his attendants stood their deathwatch around the stricken brute, sinking ever lower upon the sand before them.”

Picasso truly captured the essence of the corrida in La Tauromaquia. The economy of means and finesse of line is extraordinary, and perfectly expresses this remarkable artist’s passion for the art of bullfighting.

Léon Richet

F RENCH , 1847–1907

Léon Richet was born in Normandy, France in 1847. He studied under Ambroise Détrez at the Académie de Valenciennes and later under the Barbizon artists Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña, Jules Lefebvre, and Gustave Boulanger.

Diaz was his first and most influential teacher and it was most likely under Diaz’s influence that Richet found himself painting at Fontainebleau and Barbizon—an area treasured for its pristine beauty by the landscape painters of the prior generation. Richet’s best known landscapes are set in the Barbizon/Fontainebleau area. He sought to study the effects of light in much the same way the Impressionists would do only a few years later. By the time Richet began exhibiting at the Salon, painting the contemporary French landscape had become more accepted. In 1873, Paul Domet published The History of the Forest of Fontainebleau, signaling that the public was beginning to recognize the qualities that artists had found, for the past decades, in this region. With this new understanding and sympathetic reflection towards the French countryside, Richet began earning honors at the annual Salons: honorable mention in 1885, third place in 1888, and second place in 1901. Richet’s last Salon entry was in 1906. By this time, he had become a member of the Société des Artistes Français and as such had become exempt from submitting his works for acceptance by a jury.

He died in his beloved Fontainebleau the following year, 1907. He is remembered as one of Diaz’s most successful students—a landscape painter who continued the legacy of the Barbizon painters.

His works can be found in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rennes, France; Leeds Museum, UK; Montréal Museum, Quebec; Musée de Nice, France; the Musée de Reims, France, and the Art Institute, Chicago, USA.

Claude Félix Théodore Caruelle D’Aligny

F RENCH , 1798–1871

Caruelle, D’Aligny was a student of Jean Baptiste Regnault and Louis Watelet and lived initially in Rome where he knew the Lyons painters Orsel, Bonnefond and Vibert. He then moved to Paris. He first exhibited in Lyons in 1822, then in Paris in 1831. He went on to exhibit at the Paris Salon from 1837 to 1842, showing a series of historical landscapes, views of ancient monuments and mythological, historical or religious compositions. He was awarded a gold medal in 1837 and was decorated in 1842. In 1844 the French foreign ministry sent Caruelle d’Aligny to Greece, where he wrote and engraved illustrations for his 1845 publication on Vue des sites les plus célèbres de la Grèce Antique, dessinés sur nature et gravés par T. A (Views of the most famous sites of Grecian antiquity drawn from nature and engraved by T. A.). In 1860, the circle of Lyonese painters he had known in Rome proved instrumental in his appointment as principal of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyons, a post he held until his death. D’Aligny knew and counseled Camille Corot while the two were living in Italy.

His works can be found in the following collections: Art Institute, Chicago, Illinois; Louvre, Paris; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, England; as well as museums in the following French cities: Amiens, Angers, Avignon, Beauvais, Bordeaux, Caen, Clamecy, Fontainebleau, Lille, Lyons, Nantes, and Rennes.

Paul Chaigneau F RENCH , 1879 –1938 Paul Chaigneau specialized in pastoral scenes, and he was especially adept in painting those that included flocks of sheep. He often painted scenes from Northern France, representing the extreme light of sunrise or sunset. He was largely influenced by the iconic peasant figures of Jean François Millet and Jules Breton. There are notable similarities between his work and that of Jean Ferdinand Chaigneau, especially in terms of the subjects painted. He was a later Barbizon painter who continued the Barbizon School tradition and style.

His works are in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rennes, France.

Louis Abel Truchet

F RENCH , 1857–1918

Louis Abel Truchet was a painter, pastellist, and engraver who specialized in historical subjects, portraiture, genre scenes, and landscapes. However, he came late to his profession. He was originally a tradesman by profession and a painter by avocation; he only became a full-time painter in 1890. He then became a student of Jules Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant at the Académie Julian beginning in 1891. He was a member of the Salon d’Automne (1903) and the Société des Humoristes, of which he was both the founder and the treasurer. He also became a member of both the Société National des Beaux-Arts (1910) and the Salon des Artistes Français. He exhibited in each of these salons as well.

In 1912, Truchet changed his name to Abel Truchet so that he would be listed earlier in the catalogs of the Salon.

In 1919, two of his paintings were featured at the Salon d’Automne in an exhibit entitled Mort pour la patrie, in memoriam of artists who had died in active duty during World War I. Abel Truchet passed away on the battlefield in Auxerre.

He had voluntarily enlisted in 1914 at age 57, as lieutenant of the First Engineers’ Regiment and received the Légion d’Honneur and the Croix de Guerre during his time at war. He had already received the Légion d’Honneur as a civilian.

World War I was a major inspiration for his art and remains as a record of firsthand experience.

Louis Abel Truchet’s work can be found in the University of Minnesota Libraries and was also in the collections at the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York and the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.

Léon Victor Dupré F RENCH , 1816–1879 Léon Victor Dupré was taught by his older brother, the painter Jules Dupré. He also worked in his father’s porcelain factory, learning the exacting skills necessary in the painting of porcelain. These talents greatly increased his technique in rendering minute detail. His canvases are seldom very large and the human and animal figures are usually quite small in relation to the grand, luminous skies of which he was fond. Like his brother, he often painted river banks under stormy skies. He won a third-class medal in 1849. His best works include Village in the Berry, Banks of the Oise and Pool in the Landes.

His works can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam among others.

Pablo Meets Linoleum Gertrude Stein once said, thinking of Picasso, “Painting in the 19th century was only done in France by Frenchman, apart from that, painting did not exist; in the 20th century it was done in France, but by Spaniards.”

One of the greatest contributions to the graphic arts in the 20th century was no doubt Picasso’s linoleum cut (linocut). This magnificent, yet hard to tame, medium was derived from the principles of relief printing in the middle ages. Professional cutters would cut away at the wood blocks, leaving wood only where lines were to be printed. Linoleum was invented in the 1860s; however, it was not used artistically until the 1930s. Artists used linoleum in place of wood in some cases. They would carve into the smooth surface of the linoleum block much the same way as medieval craftsmen would have done to wood.

When they wanted to print more than one color they would simply use another linoleum block. It was not until Picasso delved into the medium that it was transformed entirely.

Picasso tried his hand at the linocut first in 1939 with two tiny works, which were used as book illustrations. In 1951, Picasso returned briefly to the linocut for several posters related to bullfights and art exhibitions. These were executed in the print studio of Arnera at Vallauris in the south of France. Picasso had discovered the small ancient town of Vallauris in 1936 while vacationing in nearby Mougins. Later, in the 1950s, Picasso had convinced the town to begin hosting Spanish-style bullfights in the town’s old arena in the square. He and his mistress, Francoise Gilot, even had the chance to lead a procession into the bullring on one occasion.

It was in the late 1950s that Picasso decided to move to the south of France permanently, leaving Paris and his etching work with the Crommelynck brothers behind. He had recently met Jacqueline Roque in the studio where he would create ceramics on his visits to Vallauris. Picasso was single-handedly responsible for revitalizing the pottery industry there, which had been dormant for decades. The earth is special in Vallauris and was also used by the Romans for pottery (continued on page 114)

Sam Francis b. 1923, S AN M ATEO , C ALIFORNIA ; d. 1994, S ANTA M ONICA , C ALIFORNIA Samuel Lewis Francis was born on June 25, 1923, in San Mateo, California. He began painting in 1944 after being diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis, resulting from a U.S. Army Air Corps accident. In 1947, he studied privately with painter David Park, and soon gave up his intended medical studies, earning a BA in 1949 and an MA in 1950 at the University of California, Berkeley.

He experimented with the dominant and emerging styles of the late 1940s, particularly Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, eventually developing a personal style of abstraction focused on dripping, cell-like forms, an allover instability, and sensitivity to color and light, as in Opposites (1950). In 1950, Francis moved to Paris and attended the Atelier Fernand LĂŠger, where he was exposed to the work of Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse, which reinvigorated his interest in light and vibrant color, visible in his 1953 painting, Big Red. Producing such work led to his association with Art Informel, although Francis never fully associated with any movement.

A visit to Japan in 1957 coincided with an opening up of expanses of white space in much of his work, and his subsequent move to a larger studio in Paris resulted in the production of large-scale paintings and mural commissions, including a 1959 painting for the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York.

Francis returned to California in 1962 and resumed painting with combinations of bright colors. Clement Greenberg's landmark exhibition Post Painterly Abstraction (1964) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which focused on paintings emphasizing color over gesture, included works by Francis. In the late 1960s, however, color increasingly vanished from his canvases. In 1973, he formed a lithography production company, which published his own prints. Over the next decades, Francis's style in painting and print production evolved from the depiction of bright, centrally placed shapes evocative of Tibetan mandalas (influenced by Jungian psychology) to his late1970s exploration of more severe grid structures, to a 1980s fascination with snakelike forms and colorful drips.

His final decades of artistic production paralleled a succession of publishing, nonprofit, and visionary enterprises.

In addition to his lithography studio, Francis formed: a wind harvesting and alternative energy company in 1975; helped organize the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, in 1980; formed the Lapis Press, which focused on eclectic scholarship, in 1984; created a naturopathy-based medical research center in 1987; and founded the Sam Francis Art Museum in 1990 to perpetuate his artistic legacy and support charitable donations.

Jules Dupré was the son of a painter turned industrialist. His father was the director of several porcelain factories and Jules became an apprentice working in the factory decorating plates. Dupré also worked at drawing and painting from nature on his own time. Dupré’s career as a painter began in 1831, when, he moved to Paris where he became friends with the artist Louis Caba.

In Paris, Dupré made friends with artists of the then flourishing 1830 School, painters such as Constant Troyon, Charles François Daubigny, Jean François Millet and Paul Huet. In particular Dupré formed a long-standing friendship with Théodore Rousseau, whose career was just beginning in 1832. In 1834, Dupré travelled to England, where he came into contact with the work of John Constable, J.W.M. Turner, John Crome, Richard Parkes Bonington and other English masters, who made a deep impression on him. He received a third-class medal in 1835 and was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1849. He is considered one of the leading 19thcentury French landscape painters and a chief member of the Barbizon school.

Dupré’s work is part of the following important museum collections: Musée du Louvre, Paris; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Frick Collection, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California; Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia; National Gallery of London; Stockholm Museum, Sweden; and The Hague Museum, Netherlands.

Pierre Emmanuel Eugène Damoye F RENCH , 1847 –1916 Pierre Emmanuel Damoye had the privilege, and perhaps luck, of studying under the great leaders of the Barbizon School, Charles François Daubigny and Camille Corot, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1875, the year of Corot’s death, Damoye debuted at his first Salon with a winter landscape. He went on to have a decorated career in the circles of Parisian Salons. He was awarded a third-class medal in 1879, a second-class in 1884, and a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1889. When a new Salon was formed in 1890, the Salon de la Société Nationale, Damoye became one of its founding and most respected members. As part of this important artistic group, Damoye gained his reputation as a true student of the Barbizon masters. In 1893, he was inducted into the Legion of Honor, and in 1900, became part of the Paris Salon jury. Some of his finest paintings were done late in his career, in particular, those of the Pas-de-Calais region between Paris and the English Channel. He is considered among the best followers of the tradition of his teachers Corot and Daubigny.

His works can be seen in the Musée du Louvre, Paris; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Troyes, France; and the National Museum of Art, Bucharest, Romania. His works can also be seen in museums in the following cities: Antwerp, Belgium; Helsinki, Finland; and Montreal, Canada.

Louis Auguste Lapito

F RENCH , 1803 –1874

Louis Lapito was a talented naturalist landscape painter. He entered Louis Étieene Watelet’s studio in 1818 at the age of 15, and later studied under Françios-Joseph Heim. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1827 and 1870, and was awarded a second-class medal in 1833 and a first-class medal in 1835.

He also exhibited in Brussels form 1843, and received a gold medal in 1848. Lapito painted scenes of the South of France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Holland, and was one of the first artists to depict the Corsican landscape.

King Louis-Philippe became an important patron for Lapito. He acquired three paintings for Chateau de SaintCloud which were hung in the apartments of Queen Marie-Amelie, the Prince of Joinville, and Princess Adelaide, as well as two for the Duchess d’Orleans’ apartments in the Chateau de Compiegne.

His works can be seen in the following museums: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA; and in museums throughout France including in the cities of Arbois, Bordeaux, Dijon, Dole, Grenoble, Morez, Narbonne, Rouen, and Paris, at the Louvre.

Le Roy Neiman b. 1921, S T. PAUL , M INNESOTA ; d. 2012, N EW Y ORK , N EW Y ORK LeRoy Neiman was born on June 8, 1921 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

As a young man, the artist attended a Roman Catholic school where he gained attention for his drawings.

Later, LeRoy

dropped out of school to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II and worked as a cook until the end of the war. He returned to the states in 1946, and attended the St. Paul School of Art for a short time before continuing on to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. LeRoy earned his degree there and went on to become a member of the faculty for ten years, teaching figure drawing and fashion illustration. During his tenure, Neiman began a life-long relationship with Hugh Hefner, who, along with Art Paul, commissioned an illustration from LeRoy for the cover of Playboy magazine’s fifth edition. The artist would continue to illustrate for the magazine for the next 50 years, creating the Femlin series for the Party Jokes page and contributing to the running feature, “Man at His Leisure,” which chronicled LeRoy’s painting while traveling to exotic locations.

LeRoy spent the majority of his career capturing the leisurely lifestyles of the wealthy and famous. Travelling the world, he depicted sporting events, safari trips, horse races and international high life with brightly colored, impressionistic sketches, drawings and paintings. He worked in various mediums including: oil, enamel, watercolor, pencil drawings, pastels, serigraphy and a small number of lithographs and etchings, which add diversity to his body of work.

LeRoy Neiman gained a strong and loyal fan base over his years as an artist. Collectors and admirers of his work enjoy the vibrant colors, deep, rich textures and a certain feel for a life of opulence and grandeur that LeRoy fully embodied throughout his career. Mr. Neiman passed away on June 20, 2012 at the age of 91.

Georges Michel F RENCH , 1763 –1843 Georges Michel was a delicate artist who was born into a poor family; little is known about his life. He was married twice, first at the age of 16 to a girl the same age who died very young, and again in 1827. Under the patronage of several people, he was apprenticed in 1775 to the studio of a landscape painter called Leduc.

He soon became disenchanted with the fantastic and mannered landscapes of the 18th century, and returned to the idea of nature as perceived by Salomon van Ruysdael and the great Dutch landscape artists, taking his inspiration entirely from nature. He exhibited at the Salon from 1796 to 1814, working hard but selling little. He did not actively seek success, and remained unknown and poor. He was supported by Baron d’Ivry, who kept Michel’s entire works by the devious subterfuge of passing the painter off as dead. Michel did not sign or date his paintings, arguing that the artists of antiquity did not sign theirs.

Lazare Bruandet, before his death in 1804, taught Michel in the woods around Paris, in Boulogne and in Meudon, where he learned to depict the nostalgic character of these rural sites. He was the earliest of the Montmartre painters. His skies, while painted using the traditional methods that often played on the contrast of leaden clouds with areas of strong light, herald the skies of Eugène Boudin. He appears to have adhered to John Constable’s declaration that “nothing is ugly in nature.” To justify working almost entirely in the area around Paris, he declared that “anybody who is unable to spend his whole life painting within four areas is but a fool.” It is with good reason that he has been called the father of modern landscape. Scorning classical locations, he drew his subjects from the surroundings of Montmartre and the plain of St. Denis. On several occasions he worked with Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, who painted figures in some of his landscapes. In 1812 he developed his later style, which was characterized by accentuation of contrasts. His liberation from earlier influences corresponded with the blossoming of his style from 1830 onwards. After 1843 his influence on several painters, especially Charles Emile Jacque and Jules Dupré, was of particular importance. Although he achieved little fame during his lifetime, Michel is now considered a major precursor to the Barbizon School painters.

Michel’s work is in many museum collections including the following: Musée du Louvre, Paris (3 paintings, 80 drawings); Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lyon, France; Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, Spain; National Gallery, London, U.K.

Alexandre René Veron studied under Hippolyte “Paul” Delaroche and made his Salon debut in 1848. He has a similar painting style to that of Charles François Daubigny and was affiliated with the painters of the Barbizon School. He worked first and foremost as a landscape painter and exhibited landscapes exclusively at the Salon over a period of three decades. His preferred subject matter was the forest of Fontainebleau, but he also painted scenes in Auvers-sur-Oise, Pontoise, Crecy-enBrie, Senlis, Osny, Agenteuil, Asnières and StValery-sur-Somme.

His work can be found in the Musée Daubigny in Auvers-sur-Oise, France; the Indiana Art Museum, U.S.A; and in museums in Dijon, Nantes, Perigueux, and Saint-Lo in France.

Angelika Kauffman S WISS /A USTRIAN , 1741–1807 Angelika was born in Switzerland, but grew up in Austria. She was a precocious child and was taught painting by her father, a skilled artist. There is a story that Kauffman’s father had boy’s clothing made for her so that she could attend courses at the Austrian Academy of art. In 1754, she went to Milan with her family and set up as a painter of portraits. She stood out with her beauty, grace and talent. She spoke German, French, Italian and English; she also sang, and played several musical instruments. The young English painter Nathaniel Dance, fell in love with her. For nine years he followed her from city to city, attempting in vain to persuade her to marry him.

In 1757, after the death of her mother, Angelica and her father set off for Florence. In 1759, they went to Rome, and afterwards to Venice in 1764, with Angelica’s reputation growing all the time. The wife of the English ambassador, Lady Wentworth, carried her off to London and presented her at court. In 1768, when the Royal Academy was founded, Angelica was listed as one of the founding members. Sir Joshua Reynolds, another co-founder of the Royal Academy, had a great partiality for her, and painted her portrait three times.

A sad episode marred this brilliant career when a young stranger claiming to be Count Frederick Horn of Sweden paid court to her and Angelica agreed to marry him in secret. After the ceremony, she discovered to her mortification that she had fallen victim to a fraudster, and her husband was just a servant to the count. After suffering ill treatment at the hands of the impostor, she managed to get rid of him at the cost of 7,500 francs. In 1781, after the death of this first husband, she contracted a happier marriage with a Venetian painter, Antononio Zucchi, and shortly after left London for Italy. In 1782 her father, who had continued to live with her, died and she and Zucchi moved to Rome. Zucchi died in 1785 and Angelica remained in Rome until her death.

Kauffman had a second reason for returning to Italy in 1781. History painting was her strength and it was the most elite and lucrative category of academic painting in Europe during the 18th century. But, although the Royal Academy in London made a strong effort to promote history painting, the British were more interested in commissioning and buying portraits and landscapes.

In addition to painting, Kauffman also engraved about 50 prints in a vigorous style. A great many of her works were reproduced as engravings.

An exhibition of her works was organized by the Haus der Kunst in Munich in 1999.

Her work can be found in the following collections: Holburne Museum of Art in Bath, Hove Museum and Art Gallery in Brighton, and Hampton Court, all in the United Kingdom; The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy; Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany; the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate Gallery in London, United Kingdom; Louvre Museum in Paris, France; Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia in the United States; Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia; and in museums in the following cities: Leipzig, Frankfurt, Dresden, Berlin and Munich, Germany; Bern, Switzerland; Bregenz, Innsbruck, and Vienna, Austria; Budapest, Hungary; Dublin, Ireland; London, United Kingdom; Valenciennes, France

Joan Miró b. 1893, BARCELONA; d. 1983, PALMA

DE

MALLORCA

Joan Miró Ferra was born April 20, 1893, in Barcelona. At the age of 14, he went to business school in Barcelona and also attended La Lonja’s Escuela Superior de Artes Industriales y Bellas Artes in the same city. Upon completing three years of art studies, he took a position as a clerk. After suffering a nervous breakdown, he abandoned business and resumed his art studies, attending Francesc Galí’s Escola d’Art in Barcelona from 1912 to 1915.

Miró received early encouragement from the dealer José Dalmau, who gave him his first solo show at his gallery in Barcelona in 1918. In 1917, he met Francis Picabia.

In 1920, Miró made his first trip to Paris, where he met Pablo Picasso.

From this time, Miró divided his time between Paris and Montroig, Spain. In Paris, he associated with the poets Max Jacob, Pierre Reverdy, and Tristan Tzara and participated in Dada activities. Dalmau organized Miró’s first solo show in Paris, at the Galerie la Licorne in 1921. His work was included in the Salon d’Automne of 1923. In 1924, Miró joined the Surrealist group. His solo show at the Galerie Pierre, Paris, in 1925 was a major Surrealist event; Miró was included in the first Surrealist exhibition at the Galerie Pierre that same year.

He visited the Netherlands in 1928 and began a series of paintings inspired by Dutch masters. That year he also executed his first papiers collés (pasted papers) and collages. In 1929, he started his experiments in lithography, and his first etchings date from 1933. During the early 1930s he made Surrealist sculptures incorporating painted stones and found objects. In 1936, Miró left Spain because of the civil war; he returned in 1941. Also in 1936 Miró was included in the exhibitions Cubism and Abstract Art and Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The following year he was commissioned to create a monumental work for the Paris World’s Fair.

Miró’s first major museum retrospective was held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1941. In 1944, Miró began working in ceramics with Josep Lloréns y Artigas and started to concentrate on prints; from 1954 to 1958 he worked almost exclusively in these two mediums. He received the Grand Prize for Graphic Work at the Venice Biennale in 1954, and his work was included in the first Documenta exhibition in Kassel the following year.

In 1958, Miró was given a Guggenheim International Award for murals for the UNESCO building in Paris. The following year he resumed painting, initiating a series of mural-sized canvases. During the 1960s he began to work intensively in sculpture. Miró retrospectives took place at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, in 1962, and the Grand Palais, Paris, in 1974. In 1978, the Musée National d’Art Moderne exhibited over five hundred works in a major retrospective of his drawings. Miró died on December 25, 1983, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Pablo Picasso b. 1881, M ÁLAGA , S PAIN ; d. 1973, M OUGINS , F RANCE The son of an academic painter, José Ruiz Blasco, Picasso began to draw at an early age. In 1895, the family moved to Barcelona, and Picasso studied there at La Lonja, the academy of fine arts. His visit to Horta de Ebro from 1898 to 1899 and his association with the group at the café Els Quatre Gats in about 1899, were crucial to his early artistic development. Picasso’s first exhibition took place in Barcelona in 1900, and that fall he went to Paris for the first of several stays during the early years of the century. Picasso settled in Paris in April 1904, and his circle of friends soon included Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Gertrude and Leo Stein, as well as two dealers, Ambroise Vollard and Berthe Weill.

His style developed from the Blue Period (1901–04) to the Rose Period (1905) to the pivotal work Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), and the subsequent evolution of Cubism from an Analytic phase (ca. 1908–11) to its Synthetic phase (beginning in 1912–13). Picasso’s collaboration on ballet and theatrical productions began in 1916.

Soon thereafter, his work was characterized by neoclassicism and a renewed interest in drawing and figural representation. In the 1920s, the artist and his wife, Olga (whom he had married in 1918), continued to live in Paris, to travel frequently, and to spend their summers at the beach. From 1925 to the 1930s, Picasso was involved to a certain degree with the Surrealists, and from the fall of 1931 he was especially interested in making sculpture. In 1932, with large exhibitions at the Galeries Georges Petit, Paris, and the Kunsthaus Zürich, and the publication of the first volume of Christian Zervos’s catalogue raisonné, Picasso’s fame increased markedly.

By 1936, the Spanish Civil War had profoundly affected Picasso, the expression of which culminated in his painting Guernica (1937, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid). Picasso’s association with the Communist Party began in 1944. From the late 1940s, he lived in the south of France. Among the enormous number of exhibitions that were held during the artist’s lifetime, those at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1939 and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, in 1955 were most significant. In 1961, the artist married Jacqueline Roque, and they moved to Mougins. There Picasso continued his prolific work in painting, drawing, prints, ceramics, and sculpture until his death on April 8, 1973.

Alexander Calder b. 1898, L AWNTON , P ENNSYLVANIA ; d. 1976, N EW Y ORK Alexander Calder was born on July 22, 1898, in Lawnton, Pennsylvania, into a family of artists. In 1919, he received an engineering degree from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey. Calder attended the Art Students League, New York, from 1923 to 1926, studying briefly with Thomas Hart Benton and John Sloan. As a freelance artist for the National Police Gazette in 1925, he spent two weeks sketching at the circus; his fascination with the subject dates from this time. He also made his first sculpture in 1925; the following year he made several constructions of animals and figures with wire and wood. Calder's first exhibition of paintings took place in 1926 at the Artist's Gallery, New York. Later that year, he went to Paris and attended the Académie de la grande chaumière. In Paris, he met Stanley William Hayter, exhibited at the 1926 Salon des Indépendants, and in 1927 began giving performances of his miniature circus.

The first show of his wire animals and caricature portraits was held at the Weyhe Gallery, New York, in 1928. That same year, he met Joan Miró, who became a lifelong friend. Subsequently, Calder divided his time between France and the United States. In 1929, the Galerie Billiet gave him his first solo show in Paris. He met Frederick Kiesler, Fernand Léger and Theo van Doesburg and visited Piet Mondrian's studio in 1930. Around this time, he also encountered James Johnson Sweeney, future Guggenheim Museum director, who would become a close friend and supporter. Calder began to experiment with abstract sculpture, and in 1931 and 1932 introduced moving parts into his work. These moving sculptures were called Mobiles; the stationary constructions were to be named "stabiles." He exhibited with the group Abstraction-Création (1931–36) in Paris in 1933. In 1943, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a solo exhibition.

During the 1950s, Calder traveled widely and executed Gongs (sound mobiles developed around 1948) and Towers (wall mobiles developed around 1951). He won the Grand Prize for sculpture at the 1952 Venice Biennale. He exhibited, along with other pioneers of Kinetic art including Yaacov Agam and Jean Tinguely, in Le mouvement (Movement) at the Galerie Denise René, Paris, in 1955. Late in the decade, the artist worked extensively with gouache; from this period, he executed numerous major public commissions. In 1964–65, the Guggenheim Museum presented a Calder retrospective. He began the Totems in 1966 and the Animobiles in 1971; both are variations on the standing mobile.

A Calder exhibition was held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1976), and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (2003). Calder died on November 11, 1976, in New York.

183 JIM DINE Very Picante Artist's Proof Signed Serigraph 53 x 39 in., 1985 Gallery price: $66,500

Jim Dine b.1935, C INCINNATI , O HIO Jim Dine was born in 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied at night at the Art Academy of Cincinnati during his senior year of high school and then attended the University of Cincinnati, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Ohio University, Athens, from which he received his BFA in 1957. Dine moved to New York in 1959 and soon became a pioneer of the Happenings movement together with Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Whitman. He exhibited at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1958 and 1959, and his first solo show took place at the Reuben Gallery, New York, in 1960.

Dine is closely associated with the development of Pop art in the early 1960s. Frequently he affixed everyday objects, such as tools, rope, shoes, articles of clothing, and even a bathroom sink, to his canvases. Characteristically, these objects were Dine’s personal possessions. This autobiographical content was evident in Dine’s early Crash series of 1959–60 and appeared as well in subsequent recurrent themes and images, such as the Palettes, Hearts, and bathrobe Self-Portraits. He later added gates, trees, and Venus to his repertoire of recurring motifs. Dine has also made a number of three-dimensional works and environments, and is well known for his drawings and prints. He has written and illustrated several books of poetry.

In 1965, Dine was a guest lecturer at Yale University, New Haven, and artist-in-residence at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. He was a visiting critic at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in 1966. From 1967 to 1971, he and his family lived in London. Dine has been given solo shows in museums in Europe and the United States. In 1970, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, organized a major retrospective of his work, and in 1978 the Museum of Modern Art, New York, presented a retrospective of his etchings. Since then, Dine has been the subject of major retrospectives at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (1984–85), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York (1999), and National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (2004). Dine lives in New York, Paris, and Walla Walla, Washington.

187 SALVADOR DALÍ Divine Comedy: Le Ciel de Mercure Original Signed Watercolor & Gouache on Paper 17 x 13 in., 1952 Gallery price: $175,000

Salvador Dalí b. 1904, F IGUERAS , S PAIN ; d. 1989, F IGUERAS , S PAIN Salvador Dalí was born Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domenech in the Catalan town of Figueras, Spain, on May 11, 1904. In 1921, he enrolled in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, where he became a friend of Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel. His first solo show was held in 1925 at the Galeries Dalmau in Barcelona. In 1926, Dalí was expelled from the Academia and, the following year, he visited Paris and met Pablo Picasso. He collaborated with Buñuel on the film Un Chien Andalou in 1928. At the end of the year, he returned to Paris and met Tristan Tzara and Paul Eluard. About this time, Dalí produced his first Surrealist publications and illustrated the works of Surrealist writers and poets. His first solo show in the United States took place at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1933.

Dalí was censured by the Surrealists in 1934. Toward the end of the decade, he made several trips to Italy to study the art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In 1940, Dalí fled to the United States where he worked on theatrical productions, wrote and illustrated books and painted. A major retrospective of his work opened in 1941 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and travelled throughout the United States. In 1942, Dalí published his autobiography and began exhibiting at M. Knoedler and Co. in New York. He returned to Europe in 1948, settling in Port Lligat, Spain. His first paintings with religious subjects date from 1948–49. In 1954, a Dalí retrospective was held at the Palazzo Pallavicini in Rome and, in 1964, an important retrospective of his work was shown in Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto. He continued painting, writing and illustrating during the 1960s. The Salvador Dalí Museum in Cleveland was inaugurated in 1971, and the Dalínian Holographic Room opened at M. Knoedler and Co., New York, in 1973. In 1980, a major Dalí retrospective was held at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris, and his work was exhibited at the Tate Gallery, London. The artist died on January 23, 1989, in Figueras.
