1 151858/23 HENRI MATISSE (french, 1869-1954) “CORBEILLE DE BEGONIAS I” 1938, pencil signed, dated ‘23/8 38,’ inscribed ‘Bon á tirer’ and dedicated ‘á Jean-Gabriel Daragnès avec mes remerciements cordiaux’ (presumably one of seven trial proofs before the edition of 25 plus 5 artist’s proofs), with wide margins. Linoleum cut on wove paper with partial watermark ‘VM France.’ image: 7 13/16 x 9 in. (19.7 x 22.8cm) sheet: 15 1/8 x 15 5/8 in. (38.3 x 39.7cm) [Duthuit, 718] note: We are grateful to Wanda de Guébriant for her assistance in cataloguing this work.
Jean-Gabriel Daragnès was a master printer and engraver as well as publisher of books. In 1938 and 1939, he and Matisse worked together
extensively on an ultimately unrealized edition of ‘Les Fleurs du Mal.’ Although unrelated to this project, the present work and its affectionate dedication to Daragnès date from the time of this collaboration and mutual admiration. Composed at summer’s end in 1938, a pot of Begonias may have served as a meditation on simple pleasures and was executed in a medium that was much loved by the artist. During this anxious time just before the eruption of World War II, many artists had begun stockpiling painting materials knowing that resources soon would be scarce. Matisse however, was likely comforted by his genuine love of making prints and glad for the work. Illustrating books required less creative energy in that a narrative was provided, and yet the work fully occupied the famously hardworking and prolific artist. Indeed, a few months after the war began he wrote, “I hope I shall start painting again soon, but that overwhelms me so— I have to invent and that
takes great effort for which I must have something in reserve.”1 For prints of this period, linoleum engraving was the print medium usually chosen by the artist. Clearly Matisse appreciated the senstive nature of the form which responded readily to nuances of artistic touch. It was, he said, “a true medium predestined for the painter-illustrator ... I have often thought that this very simple medium is comparable to a violin with its bow: a surface, a gouge — four taut strings and a tuft of horsehair. The gouge, like the bow, directly reflects the engraver’s sensitivity . . . the least distraction during the drawing of a line brings, involuntarily, a slight pressure from the fingers to the gouge, which adversely affects the line. Likewise, one has only to tense slightly the fingers holding the bow in order for the violin’s sound to change its character — soft becomes loud.”2 $7,000-10,000

Works from the Croquez Family Collection Freeman’s is pleased to offer the following four works of art from the distinguished collection of the Croquez family. These works have descended in the family from patriarch Albert Croquez, a venerable lawyer, historian, writer and art connoisseur. Born in France in 1886, Albert was an accomplished and admired figure. In addition to his successful law career, Croquez wrote extensively on French history, and was recognized with awards from institutions like the Académie Française. He counted Félix Labisse, Moïse Kisling and James Ensor amongst his closest friends, and authored the first monograph on Ensor as a printmaker, all the while remaining an active collector of Ensor’s work. His fine, discerning eye for art led Croquez to build an extensive and important collection and we are honored to present a part of that legacy.

4 160883/3 double-sided drawing JAMES ENSOR (belgian, 1860-1949) “LA PARESSE” and “LA LUXURE” Signed bottom left on each side, inscribed with the name ‘Albert Croquez’ upper left on “La Luxure,” pencil on paper. Executed circa 1888-1902. 6 11/16 x 8 13/16 in. (17 x 22.4cm) provenance: The Artist. Collection of Albert Croquez, Paris, France. By family descent. Private Collection, Pennsylvania. literature: Albert Croquez, l’Oeuvre Gravé de James Ensor, Geneva/Brussels: Éditions Pierre Cailler, 1947, no. 119 (illustrated). note: This lot is accompanied by a photocertificate of authenticity issued by Xavier Tricot and dated 22 October 2016.
In 1904, James Ensor published a portfolio of etchings entitled “The Seven Deadly Sins,” a series of satirical prints based upon the traditional Christian themes of morality. The artist began work on the first of these prints as early as 1888, and continued his investigation of the subject until the portfolio’s ultimate release 16 years later. The present double-sided drawing depicts Ensor’s original pencil studies for the sins of “Sloth” (“La Paresse”) and “Lust” (“La Luxure”). Interestingly, the etching for “Lust” dates from 1888 and the etching for “Sloth” dates from 1902. It is possible that Ensor created both of the present drawings in 1888, and returned to this study when he began work on the “Sloth” print 14 years later. Alternatively, perhaps the artist drew “Lust” in 1888, and used the back of that sheet of paper for a second sketch in 1902. Whether Ensor completed these drawings contemporaneously or over the course of his multi-year exploration of the seven deadly sins, the present drawing offers an exceptional and intimate glimpse into the working method of the artist. $18,000-25,000

6 160883/1 RAOUL DUFY (french, 1877-1953) “CHEZ LE PACHA” Signed bottom right, watercolor on paper. Executed in 1926. 20 x 26 in. (50.8 x 66cm) provenance: Galerie Jean-Claude Bellier, Paris, France. Collection of Albert Croquez, Paris, France. By family descent. Private Collection, Pennsylvania. literature: Fanny Guillon-Laffaille, Raoul Dufy, Catalogue raisonné des aquarelles, gouaches et pastels, Paris, 1982, vol. II, catalogue no. 340 (illustrated). $60,000-100,000
Raoul Dufy first travelled to Morocco in 1925, along with famed French couturier Paul Poiret. Dufy and Poiret shared an enduring creative relationship, frequently collaborating on textile patterns and designs. Like many artists of the time, both men were enthralled by the imagined exoticism of the Far East and the promise of the myriad visual inspirations it could provide. When they arrived in Morocco, Dufy and Poiret were greeted as guests by the Pacha of Marrakech, Thami El Glaoui. Wealthy, powerful and famously charming, he was widely renowned for his hospitality and entertaining, and he welcomed the artists into his home. Both men were surely dazzled by the Pacha’s extravagant lifestyle, but the architecture and arts of Morocco would likely have had an even
more significant resonance for them. Dufy in particular painted multiple works depicting his time in Marrakech. Many of these – like the present example – specifically record the magnificently adorned interiors of the traditional Moroccan home of the lavish leader. Devoted to rhythmic lines, evocative color and decorative surface effects, Dufy would have found fertile creative ground amongst the patterns and designs he observed in Marrakech. This inspiration is clearly evident in “Chez Le Pacha.” The balletic lines of its archways, the use of brilliant colors and the delicate, staccato arabesques of the mosaics that embellish the walls all point to Dufy’s joy in reveling in the unique beauty that surrounded him in this exotic land.

(32.5 x 40.1cm) provenance: Private Collection. By family descent. Private Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. exhibited: “French Painting at Mid-Century,” San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco, California, May 21- June 13, 1954. note: This lot is accompanied by a photo-certificate of authenticity issued by the Fondation Zao Wou-Ki and dated 10 October 2016.
Painted in 1951, just three years after Zao Wou-Ki left his native China, the present drawing is an early example by an artist who reconciled his eastern and western thoughts and aesthetics with awe-inspiring results. Zao WouKi was artistically trained at the Hangzhou School of Fine Arts under Lin Fengmian, but in 1949, he made Paris his second home. There, Zao was embraced by artists like Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miro and Paul Klee, and first learned of Abstract Expressionism. His best known, mature style was dubbed the epitome of “lyrical abstractionism” and melds this contemporary, western abstraction with the delicate execution of eastern art that is grounded deeply in landscape and calligraphy. The present work is a rare, early landscape painted in the ink-wash and calligraphic style of this Chinese heritage and hints only slightly at the aesthetic evolution to come. Zao’s delicately rendered Italian hillside and scripted dedication reveal a genuine love and respect for nature and landscape. Roughly translated the inscription reads, “People who grow up in the mountain areas loves mountain, people who draws mountain loves people who grow up in the mountain areas.” $25,000-40,000

Baltasar Lobo’s greatest legacy to modern sculpture is his lifelong dedication to and re-interpretation of a classic art-historical theme: the female form. Throughout his career, Lobo focused almost exclusively on the single figure of a woman as his subject, all the while exploring the varied nature of womanhood by experimenting with a range of gestures and poses. He sought to depict feminine sensuality through simplicity of form, eschewing a naturalistic imitation of the female figure in favor of an increasingly stylized yet dynamic treatment. Lobo continually experimented with this relationship between figuration and abstraction, for he believed that the true essence of femininity was achieved by a perfect balance between the two. In Lobo’s own words,“my present work is, as always, figurative; that is to say, abstract. Obligatorily it begins with figuration and becomes an abstraction which is simplified, synthesized”. Baltasar Lobo, as quoted in María Bolaños, Baltasar Lobo. 1910/1993. El silencio del escultor, (Leon: Junta de Castilla y Leon, 2000, p.151). $100,000-150,000

Harry Bertoia was a pioneering and prolific master of Modern Arts and Design. His diverse oeuvre includes sculpture, furniture, design, jewelry, prints and drawings. Bertoia first rose to prominence through his work with the renowned furniture and design company, Knoll, Inc. Hans and Florence Knoll had taken notice of Bertoia’s work while he was a student at The Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and invited him to join their eponymous firm. Bertoia enjoyed tremendous success with Knoll, particularly upon the design and production of his now famous “Diamond Chair,” which has become an icon of mid-century Modernism. Soon, with his reputation firmly established and his roots solidly planted in his Bally, Pennsylvania studio, Bertoia turned his interest and attention toward creating the dynamic and elegant sculptures for which he is so well-known today. Throughout his career, Bertoia was heavily influenced by nature and organic patterns, and created many bush-like pieces. Sea Anemone (Bush) is a particularly successful example of these works. Its dense concentration of branches lends it a certain solidity, while - conversely - the delicacy of the individual stems conveys a gentle elegance. Asymmetrical, the form surges and swells around its axis, activating and engaging the empty space around it with a dynamic energy.

Private Collection, New Jersey (acquired directly from the above in 1997). exhibited: “Carlos Luna: Yo Traigo de Todo,” Casa de los Muñecos, Museo Universitario, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Puebla, Mexico, December 10, 1997-January 25, 1998 (illustrated p. 49). note: We are grateful to Carlos Luna for his assistance in cataloguing this work, which is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with his signature. $25,000-40,000
“Ay Mamá Llorón” is a powerful and provocative image. Striking in its scale and animated by intense color, the painting is composed of bold geometric forms and a dramatically flattened picture plane. These formal devices inject the painting with an arresting immediacy that both demands and captivates the viewer’s attention. Its subject matter is also rich in symbolic meaning that invites interpretation and stimulates further contemplation. The painting depicts the Rape of Europa, the ancient myth in which Zeus, the king of the gods, transforms himself into a bull in order to abduct a beautiful maiden of whom he was enamored. In his reinterpretation, Luna uses the myth as a metaphor, seizing upon the pathos of this classic story in order to comment on the political anguish of his native Cuba. Here, the bull represents Cuba’s dictator who has long held captive the beautiful island, embodied by the vulnerable woman who lay at his feet. Yet he portrays the bull with a single tear, shed as a result of the woman’s indifference to him. The two main subjects of the painting are surrounded by water with the fortress “El Morro de la Habana” in the distance- a further reference to Cuba.

(99.1 x 125.7cm) support: 52 x 62 in. (132.1 x 157.5cm) provenance: Charles Cowles Gallery Inc., New York, New York. Private Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. $6,000-10,000
Edward Burtynsky’s “Shipbreaking” series depicts grounded tankers that are in the process of being deconstructed. Rich in color and complex in their artful compositions, these images portray a beauty that belies their subject. At the same time, the grand scale of these photographs forces the viewer to confront the impact of industrialization on the earth in the 21st Century. The artist first photographed these scenes after hearing that insurance companies would no longer insure single-hulled tankers in the wake of the Exon-Valdez crisis. Many of these decommissioned ships were brought to the beaches of India and Bangladesh where they were taken apart piece by piece, their metals corroding and staining the beaches and ocean in the process. However, the artist retains some optimism: “For Burtynsky, nature itself, over time, can reclaim even the most ambitious of human incursions into the land. As long as human needs and desires change, so too will the landscape.”1 1 The artist’s website: www.edwardburtynsky.com

Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency
in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
