1734 Maurice de Vlaminck (French, 1876‑1958) “Le Port”, oil on canvas, signed lower right “Vlaminck”, 16” x 24”. Presented in a contemporary molded giltwood frame with a linen liner. Provenance: Private collection, Colorado, purchased by the present owner’s parents in Paris, ca. 1966. Note: This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne being prepared by Maithe Valles-Bled and Godelieve de Vlaminck under the sponsorship of the Wildenstein Institute. Maurice de Vlaminck was a primarily self-taught artist, writer, and musician best known as a key player in the Fauvist movement. He began his artistic career alongside Henri Matisse and his lifelong friend Andre Derain, all of whom exhibited in the Salon des Independants and the Salon d’Automne in 1905. It was at the Salon d’Automne that critic Louis Vauxcelles coined the term “Fauves” to describe these artists as wild beasts due to their use of intense, vibrant color and powerful brushwork in these avant-garde paintings. During his early career, Vlaminck was strongly influenced by Vincent Van Gogh, whose work he had seen in a 1901 exhibition. His work was collected by noted dealer Ambrose Vollard, who arranged a one-man exhibition for Vlaminck in 1906. However, once Vlaminck attended a Cezanne retrospective in 1907 he began using a somewhat darker palette as opposed to pure color taken straight from tubes of paint he had used heretofor. His forms from 1908 onward were more solidly constructed, though he still employed painterly brushstrokes. After his service in WWI Vlaminck had a breakthrough exhibition of 1919, after which he bought a house in the countryside at Valmondois. His style developed and he began painting rural landscapes, continuing to do so after a second move to the Department Eure-et-Loire in 1925. “Le Port” appears to be from this period of rural landscape painting. It is punctured with heavy strokes of contrasting white and marked by more subdued palette that followed Vlaminck’s Fauvist period. It is similar in both subject and style to “Le Port du Havre” from 1925. [70000/100000] Illustrated

Sub-Inspector of the Constabulary Thomas Trant was transferred from Callan, co. Kilkenny to Ennistymon, co. Clare in 1851. The effusive praise given Trant by the conservative establishment of Kilkenny upon his departure was no doubt in part due to his prominent and controversial role in the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848. Trant was the subject of a monograph by Willian Nolan, “Sub-Inspectory Thomas Trant of Callan and the 1848 Rising”, published in the Callan octocentennial publication Callan 800, 1207‑2007: HIstory and Heritage (Callan: Callan Heritage Society, pp. 297‑312.

Royal / from the London Branch / Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd. / “Don’t Forget Us”, h. 7”, dia. 9‑1/4”, 35.88 t. oz. Belford Grant Royal (1865‑1933), a tobacconist’s son from Paulsboro, New Jersey, was a machinist and foreman of the Standard Machine Shop when he teamed with Eldridge Johnson to form the United States Gramophone Company. A copyright infringement lawsuit forced the company to change the name to the Victor Talkiing Machine Company, but the British branch retained the Gramophone Company name. (Although it was briefly - as evidenced here - called the Gramophone & Typewriter Company after a merger with the Lambert Typewriter Company). Belford Royal moved to England to oversee operations there in 1897 and remained until 1906: the occasion of the presentation of this fine bowl. Royal was later the General Superintendent (1912‑1919), Vice-President (1923‑1925) and Chairman of the Board (1926‑1928) of Victor; he was still on the Board of Directors when he died on June 24, 1933. By that time, Victor and Gramophone were two of the largest record companies in the world, known for their iconic HMV - “His Master’s Voice” - label. The Gramophone Company would continue well into the 1970’s under that name, eventually becoming part of E.M.I. in 1973; one of the last records released under the Gramophone copyright was Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

2135 2135 William Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1859‑1939) “The Archbishop’s Palace”, oil on canvas, unsigned, bearing a paper label on stretcher with artist’s name and title in artist’s hand, 16” x 22”. Presented in a giltwood frame affixed with a plaque inscribed with title of work and artist’s name. Provenance: In present owner’s family since ca. 1940, purchased from the artist’s family. As a native of Massachusetts and a graduate of both the Rhode Island School of Design and the Massachusetts Normal Art School, William Woodward is primarily known for his impressionistic renderings of historic New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. He and his brother, Ellsworth, were highly influential figures in the New Orleans art scene during the 19th century where they were both instrumental in the organization of Newcomb College. Among his notable achievements William helped establish the New Orleans Vieux Carre Historic Preservation Commission, the Art League of New Orleans, the Art Association, as well as the Tulane School of Architecture. He created many on-the-spot oil sketches of the French Quarter as preliminary studies for the oil crayon paintings which later became instrumental in the preservation of many historic French Quarter buildings. The oil on canvas offered here “The Archbishop’s Palace” is most likely a preliminary study or sketch for a finished work. There are two oil crayon paintings of the same theme which vary slightly and appear to have painted in different times of year. Each rendition has strong similarities with the “Archbishop’s Palace” not only in composition of the painting, but also in their execution by applying loose impressionistic brushstrokes. There are particularly strong similarities in the choice of a color scheme used, as well as proximity of figures to the viewer, between this oil and the painting titled “Ursuline Convent, New Orleans”. Interestingly, in an article about Mr. William Woodward published in “Harlequin Magazine”, January 1900, the artist’s studio is described and it mentions “an unfinished picture of the Archbishop’s Palace in New Orleans that is sufficiently nearly done to show an exquisite reproduction of one of the quaintest scenes in Creoletown.” This is most likely the painting being described in the article.

His commissions during the 1950’s included the decoration of the private apartments of the French president at the Elysee’ Palace, the meeting room of the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, and the interior of many luxury ocean liners.

His work has won him many accolades and is in the permanent collections of Cleveland Museum and Whitney Museum of Art. We are pleased to offer a number of Charles Campbell oils in our December sale.

Camille Felix Bellanger studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, training with two of the best known painters of the time, Alexander Cabanel and William Bouguereau. Bouguereau’s influence is evident in “Resting on the Fence” especially in the use of light, somewhat idealized execution of the subject, her clear, wistful gaze and the polished finish. During his early career Bellanger painted mainly mythological, religious and historical scenes. However, after moving to Brittany toward the end of 19th century he started painting local peasants, such as the one illustrated here. They are mainly beautiful young women, dressed in their unadorned working clothes, a blend of both idealism and naturalism. Camille Bellanger continuously exhibited at the Salon, earning a Legion of Honor medal in 1911. His work is in the collections of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, Musee d’Orsay, Paris and the National Gallery of Art, London. [50000/80000] Illustrated

Conditions Of Sale
T
he following as amended by any posted notices or oral announcements during the sale, constitutes the entire terms and conditions on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for sale or sold through New Orleans Auction Galleries, Inc. (the “Company”), for any consignor of such property for whom we act as agent. As used herein, the term “bid price” means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the purchaser and the term “purchase price” means the aggregate of (a) the bid price (b) a premium of 23% of the bid price up to and including $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the lot exceeds $200,000 payable by the purchaser to the Company and (c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any Louisiana state or local sales taxes. For purchases made by cash, check or wire transfer, the buyer’s premium shall be discounted 3% of this 23%. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, the highest bidder shall be deemed to have purchased the offered lot in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase thereof, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full. The Company reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before the actual sale. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lot shall be divided for sale. The Company reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Company’s sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. In the event of a tie bid between an absentee bidder and a live bidder, the lot will be sold to the live bidder. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve (the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold), the Company may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding until the reserve is obtained, by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. Consignors shall not be permitted to bid on their own items. While the Company has endeavored to catalog and describe the lots correctly, each lot is sold “as is”, and neither the Company nor the seller warrants or represents, nor shall be responsible for, the description, genuineness, provenance, importance, or condition of a lot. No statement contained in the catalog or made verbally prior to or during the sale shall be deemed to express any warranty, representation, or assumption of responsibility by the Company or the Seller. In the event that the buyer of any lot fails to pay the purchase price thereof when due, the Company shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to (a) enforce payment by civil action or other proceedings against the buyer; (b) to void the sale as if said sale had not occurred; or (c) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of Louisiana Civil Code, Article 2622, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer (d) to charge successful bids to your credit card, including the 23% buyer premium. The Company reserves the right to require that advance bids received either by mail or by means of telecommunications be accompanied by a 25% deposit. The Company further reserves the right to require payment in full of the sales price (“Hammer Price”) at the moment of successful bid. The Purchase Price must be paid by the successful bidder on or prior to the close of the auction. Checks are not acceptable unless a buyer is accredited with the Company; otherwise certified checks are required. Absolutely no items may be removed before the end of the auction. All items must be removed by the purchaser thereof promptly after the auction. The Company is not liable for any damage to goods after they have been sold. A storage charge of $5 per item per day will be assessed against any items remaining in the custody of the Company by the close of business of the fifteenth day following the auction. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 11. These Conditions of Sale, as well as the Purchaser’s and the Company’s respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at an auction, whether present in person or by agent, order bid, telephone, internet, or other means, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of, and the federal courts sitting in, the State of Louisiana.
