Emile Antoine Bourdelle was one of the foremost creators of monumental sculpture at the beginning of the 20th century. He initally trained in the studio of Jules Dalou and by 1893 was working as an assistant to Auguste Rodin, for whom he worked for fifteen years. Bourdelle’s energetic treatment of his sculptures’ surfaces reveal the influence of the older master; however, by 1900 his work embraced an elegant simplification of form and taut surface, as well as an overtly heroic and monumental conception of the figure. Bourdelle “preferred the architectural and spiritualized conception of Egyptian sculpture and Greek art of the archaic period to the idealism and the masterful and luminous modelling of the age of Phydias. He appreciated the ‘ardent wisdom’ of Romanesque and Gothic churches more than the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.”1 Bourdelle achieved his first great success when he exhibited a cast of Héraklès, archer in the Salon de la Société National des Beaux-Arts of 1910. The sculpture was commissioned in April 1909 by the financier and philanthropist Gabriel Thomas, as a single copy in giltbronze. The artist was inspired by the sixth labor of Hercules, in which the hero slays a flock of man-eating birds that had gathered near the town of Stymphalos in Arcadia, harrassing the countryside and its people. Doyen Parigot, a career cavalry officer and an athlete with an imposing physique, modeled for the work. Despite the officer’s physical prowess, the pose proved such a challenge that he was only able to hold it for a few minutes at a time. Parigot tracked the lenght of each session, which totaled over nine hours before the sculpture’s completion. Bourdelle modified the head of the model at the request of Parigot, who was afraid that the public expsure might harm his image and career. The head is instead a variation of the artist’s earlier scultpure from 1900, Tête d’Apollon. The present work was critically acclaimed from the time of its first public presentation in 1910. The French writer Charles Morice raves about the sculpture in the Mercure de France from May 1, 1910 stating, “The unbelievably audacious movement of this archer balancing himself in mid-air, supported against the ridge of a rock, that human form that even appears to leap in its immobility, that summary, precise, full and vibrant modelling is one of the most prodigious endeavors of living art. Here realism borders on idealism. A model may have sat for this anatomy, but none could have given it this countenance or this movement. Bourdelle’s art marks the transition from the long period of enslavement by reality, which we have experienced, to the new, necessary phase in which the artist will review in his heart all the secrets of nature and reflect them in a creation more faithful to general truth and at the same time revealing his own persona, intimate truth.”2

One of the most original and influential artists of his time, James McNeill Whistler was a leader of the late 19th century Aesthetic movement. With his cultivated color harmonies and simplified shapes that exemplified his belief of “art for art’s sake,” Whistler had a profound impact on both American and European artists working in the late nineteenth century. His radical leadership and art was a catalyst for those who wanted to break with traditional academic methods, and his work often garnered both the praise and vitriol of critics. Throughout his career, Whistler endlessly refined and adjusted his prints, paintings, and drawings, often revisiting and changing compositions long after their initial conception. Parasol: red note, is one such example. According to the Whistler catalogue raisonné, this work was most likely first executed in 1884, with the model wearing much less than in the current composition. In an 1884 article, a writer from the Kensington News commented, “I don’t admire the young lady who considers a parasol full dress costume,”1 while the art critic Frederick Wedmore asked, “Is there much suggestion of the real figure in the young woman dressed in a parasol and a red head-gear? It appears not a fortunate transcript but an imperfect and graceless recollection.”2 Clearly the critics, and most likely the art-going public, were offended by the model’s nudity. Perhaps in response to the criticism, Whistler drastically changed the pastel and dressed the model. The modifications in no way alter the sensuousness of the nude, and in fact enhance the figure’s seductiveness, with the twist of the body and gauzy drapery emphasizing breasts and hips. When Whistler exhibited the reworked pastel in 1889, the critics responded positively. One review describing the pastel as “…a figure of a young girl charmingly draped, and holding a Japanese parasol. The figure has great swing in it, and is full of life. The colours are beautifully balanced, and the drawing is splendid.”3 Other critics admired the gracefulness of the figure, as well as the red ‘note’ of her headwrap, and compared the model to Classical figures. With his revisions to the pastel, the artist successfully shows that a clothed figure can be just as captivating as a nude.

Norwood, St. Louis, Missouri Provenance: Sold: Bayeux Auction House, Bayeux, France, July 14, 1991, Lot 42 Exhibited: New York, The Jordan-Volpe Gallery, Inc., A Bright Oasis: The Paintings of Richard E.

Recognized as one of the leading members of the American art colony in Giverny, France at the turn of the 20th century, Richard Miller garnered widespread acclaim for his depictions of female figures in sunlit interiors. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Miller traveled to Paris in 1899 where he enrolled at the Académie Julian. He remained in Paris, and found success through regular exhibitions at the Paris Salon, as well as numerous locations abroad including the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York and the Venice Biennale. By 1907, the artist was summering in Giverny where his association with fellow American artists, including Frederic Frieseke, Guy Rose, and Louis Ritman, lightened his palette and his aesthetic became distinguished by an emphasis on pattern, line, and bold color contrasts. During the summers of 1912 and 1913, Miller spent time in St. Jean du Doigt, a small coastal town in Brittany, France. Given its stylistic similarity to other paintings from this time, it may be surmised that The Necklace (La Femme au Collier) was painted during one of these trips. Marie Louise Kane writes, “A series of women-in-interiors painted around 1913…are among Miller’s most inventive works. By placing his figures indoors in front of windows overlooking gardens, as he increasingly did, Miller could combine the play of natural light with complex patterns created by man-made objects, like shutters, blinds, wicker chairs, striped and tiered fabrics, and French doors. …Using the same model, costume, setting, accessories and palette, Miller painted three closelyrelated versions of the same theme. …The degree to which Miller succeeded in establishing a quiet, meditative mood amidst the profusion of pattern and color in these paintings is another measure of his skill.”1 In The Necklace (La Femme au Collier), patterns dominate, with the play of the wicker armchair’s diamond weave against the woman’s striped dress, which in turn plays against the horizontal blinds and vertical balcony railing. Quick, short brushstrokes delineate these varying lines and contrast against the smooth application of paint that describes the woman’s face, décolletage, and hands. The sitter appears tranquil as she contemplates a length of green beads, unaware of the riot of pattern and color within her chamber and outside her window in the garden. The cool palette of green and purple, a favorite of the artist’s, adds a sense of calm to the otherwise energetic composition, and provides a further contrast against the sunlit garden. With its strong sense of design and color contrast, this work exemplifies Miller’s belief that “art’s mission is not literary, the telling of a story, but decorative, the conveying of a pleasant optical sensation.”2 Miller left for the United States in 1915 following the outbreak of World War I, and, though he intended to return to France, he instead settled among the artist’s colony in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1919 where he remained thereafter until his death in 1943.

In 1922 Malvina Hoffman, who had previously observed Ignacy Jan Paderewski at the League of Nations and playing the piano with friends, completed three bronze portrait busts of the pianist, separately titled Paderewski the Man, Paderewski the Artist, and Paderewski the Statesman. The artist and her sitter established a strong bond in the following years. Paderewski lent significant moral support, especially during an extensive commission from The Field Museum of Chicago for the Hall of Man; so much so that Hoffman dedicated her book Heads and Tales of Many Lands (New York, 1937) to Paderewski, writing that “the magical influence of his friendship at these dangerous curves of my existence could never be realized by him ...”

Robert Henri
(American, 1865-1929) Eileen, 1924 oil on canvas signed Robert Henri (lower right) 23 x 19 inches. Property from the Estate of Elizabeth Mahaffey Mullins, St. Louis, Missouri Provenance: The artist Acquired directly from the above by Elizabeth Mahaffey Mullins, St. Louis, Missouri, 1929 Exhibited: Chicago, Carson Pirie Scott, December 1924 New York, Macbeth Gallery, Inc., Recent Paintings by Robert Henri, N.A., April 14-May 4,1925, no. 13 Washington, DC, Cunningham New York, Anderson Gallery, The New Society of Artists: Sixth Exhibition, January 5-31, 1925 Rochester, New York, Memorial Art Gallery, Irish and Spanish portraits by Robert Henri, January 6 - February 7, 1926 $200,000-300,000
A chief proponent of the Ashcan School, Robert Henri’s true artistic spirit is captured in the portraits he created throughout his career. These portraits are principally concerned with capturing the essence of the artist’s models, whom he referred to as “his people.” Henri’s search for authentic subjects led him and his wife, Marjorie Organ, to visit Achill Island, a remote location off the west coast of Ireland. They first visited in 1913 and again for four extended visits beginning in 1924, until Henri’s death in 1929. During their time on Achill, the couple rented and then purchased an estate, Corrymore. It was here that Henri created what is considered his most popular and widely recognized body of work, with his dynamic depictions of the children from the island. Henri’s paintings executed during the 1913 visit consist primarily of landscapes and adult sitters, but upon his return in 1924, he began to depict children almost exclusively, including the present work. Painted in August 1924, the model is Sarah Burke, but the artist attached the title Eileen to the painting for exhibition. The daughter of Thomas Burke, the island’s butcher, she posed for Henri in two additional portraits the same year, including Sarah B (Private Collection) and Her Sunday Shawl (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond). In Eileen, Henri brilliantly captures his young sitter’s reserved demeanor and unwavering gaze through a sophisticated use of rich colors. The artist often limited himself to a triad of essential colors in order to reduce distractions and create a stronger visual impact. Here, Sarah sits against a dark green and purple background, wrapped in a black shawl that serves as a dramatic counterpoint to her fair skin and emphasizes her striking, slanted blue eyes. The device of a female figure wrapped in a shawl is one Henri turned to periodically, as seen in his Santa Fe portraits of 1916 and 1917. In each portrait of Sarah, Henri varied the colors and poses, which allowed him to explore different aspects of her personality. The artist particularly believed he had distilled the spirit of the girl in Eileen. In a letter to Elizabeth Mahaffey Mullins, the original purchaser of the painting, he states it is a work that: “…both Mrs. Henri and I have thought a great deal of since the day it was painted. I think it has in it the thing that is especially mine and so therefore it is a very representative Henri. On may have the ability, through study and practice, to draw and color sufficiently well almost any and every day, but it not every day that the gift of seeing well beyond the surface, is granted. I think Eileen was painted on one of these occasions.”1 This work truly highlights Henri’s ability to paint the vitality and unique character of his sitters, and is a captivating example of the portraits for which he is known.

Walt Kuhn
(American, 1877-1949) Concert, 1921 oil on canvas signed Walt Kuhn and dated (lower right) 55 1/2 x 33 1/2 inches. Provenance: The artist C.C. Rumsey Estate Gifted to H. Fred Evers Thence by descent to the present owner Literature: P.R. Adams, Walt Kuhn, His Life and Work, Columbus, Ohio, 1978, no. 91 $20,000-40,000
An organizer of the 1913 Armory Show, Walt Kuhn was instrumental in introducing the American public to the European Avant-garde. He also helped shape the bold new school of American Modernism though his vivid and emotional paintings of circus performers and show girls. Though lesser known, he created still life paintings throughout his career, and the present lot is an early example of such work. Kuhn was an active promoter of avant-garde art and played an important part in changing the course of painting and sculpture in the United States. He became close with Mary Harriman Rumsey, daughter of gallery owner and important patron Marie Harriman, and her husband Charles C. Rumsey. Mrs. Rumsey purchased Concert from Kuhn in 1923, a year after her husband was in a fatal a car crash. Kuhn painted a smaller study for this work in 1921 at Ogunquit, but the final version was created in New York studio. Kuhn weaves birds and exotic flowers together in a tapestry-like composition that seems to vibrate. The influences of post-Impressionist Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse that Kuhn would adapt in a truly American way can be seen in such early works. While Kuhn would later paint from life, his early still lives were inspired by scrapbook pictures. Concert hung in Ms. Rumsey’s New York apartment for several years, then moved to her Virginia estate, and was eventually given to H. Fred Evers, grandfather of the present owner, who worked for the Rumsey’s for over 50 years. We would like to thank Thomas Ashton from Dryads Green Gallery for his assistance with cataloguing this lot.

At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price.

Guide for Prospective Buyers Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.
Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:
$0 - $200 .............................................................. $10 $200 - $500 ............................................................. $25 $500 - $1,000 .......................................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ....................................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ...................................................... $200 $5,000 - $10,000 .................................................... $500 $10,000 - $20,000 ................................................ $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 ............................................... $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................................. $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ...........

AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
