Private Collection; Neal Auction, Feb. 7, 2009, lot 436.
Charles Reiffel was born in 1862 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He began his artistic career as a lithographer and spent several years traveling Europe before eventually returning to the United States. Setting in Buffalo, New York, he developed his painterly style, and he then purchased a home in Silvermine, Connecticut. In Silvermine, he joined a collective of like-minded artists known as “The Knockers,” with whom he exhibited in 1913. He became a full-time painter in 1921 and shortly thereafter moved to the West Coast to San Diego, where he lived permanently until his death in 1942. Reiffel was enchanted with the terrain of the West, and his plein-air style perfectly captures the diverse textures and visual harmony of its glorious landscapes, as is exemplified in the lot offered here. Snowy peaks rise above a muted landscape, and one can almost feel the crisp air and hear the rushing water of the frigid creek.

Louis Bosworth Hurt was born in 1856 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England. The son of a tailor, Hurt began his career as an apprentice draper, only painting in his spare time under the tutelage of landscapist, George Turner and his son William Lakin Turner. Eventually he became a full-time painter and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy at twenty-four years of age. Hurt was known for his hazy, romantic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, often including the region’s famous Highland cattle, as in the lot offered here which features a herd making its way down a winding beaten path with magnificent foggy peaks recessed in the distant horizon. Hurt’s ability to accurately depict the majesty of the terrain and its inhabitants is well captured in the luminous, wispy clouds and detailed vegetation as well as the realism with which he paints the scruffy and beleaguered cattle.

For much of the 1970s, Lynn Moeskau’s “Rubina” graced the front window of The Town Squire, an iconic men’s clothing store located at 1318 Polk Street in San Francisco. Polk Street was a thriving gay enclave from the 1960s to 1980s and the best place in the city to buy men’s clothing. One of the first gay-owned businesses on Polk Street, The Town Squire was opened around 1960 by couple Terry Popek and August Territo with a goal of combining the elegance of European fashion with the psychedelic color and artistic design popular at the time. Tennessee Williams, Janis Joplin, Iggy Pop and Mick Jagger were just a few of the famous patrons of the shop, all welcomed by the eye-catching “Rubina.”

“I usually choose both the color and size of the painting, at the same time. My aim is to give a sense of total immersion into a space... striving to bring calmness and tranquility to the finished painting. So the way the paint takes to the surface is crucial and after repeated applications I hope to convey an overall feeling of oneness. That which results is a meditation- empty space and quietude through color.”

Paton Miller was born in 1953 in Seattle, Washington and achieved his bachelor’s degree from Southampton College in Long Island. He later settled in the area’s East End where he established his studio and continues to work and exhibit locally and internationally with fifteen solo shows and multiple group exhibitions. Paton Miller’s “Midget” (undated) exemplifies the artist’s unique process and subject matter. Painted in oil over mixed media, Miller has sanded some areas of paint to reveal passages of underpainting in slightly contrasting tones, giving the surface a sense of depth and age. Also emblematic of his work is the intentional craquelure (crackling of thin layers) on the painting’s surface. Exploring themes of time, memory, and the human condition, Paton Miller pulls inspiration from the art historical and archetypal, merging these with personal experience to create his uncanny tableaus. This dream-like scene features a lone “piragüero” snow cone vendor’s cart, a musician, and a seated person, in dramatic light and shadow, suggesting a memory of a late afternoon.

Provenance: Commissioned from the artist, 1972; Wein Foundation.
Note: Proceeds to benefit the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.
Artist Noel Rockmore was born in 1928, in New York City and died in 1995 in New Orleans, LA. Prolific, admired, and controversial, Rockmore moved often between the two cities and was especially attracted to the bohemian life of the French Quarter. Rockmore’s narrative realist paintings have been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, among others and his work has graced the covers of Life and Time magazines.
Locally, Rockmore is also renowned for his Preservation Hall Portraits depicting its traditional jazz musicians and posters for the early years of early New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival at the invitation of George Wein, one of the founders, and from whose collection, “Self-Portrait with Riva in Paris” comes to us. This painting situates Rockmore in an art-historical fever dream of artist and model in a garret, with a plot twist. As Riva is shown posing twice in roles of domesticity and seduction, the artist is shown painting a jester as a possible self-portrait. Rockmore’s signature jewel tone palette and expressive brushwork are in full force here. Elements of home life, palmistry, and European still life painting scatter the apartment, which looks out onto Paris rooftops and Sacré-Coeur, the symbol of hope, faith, and trust. Two holes in Rockmore’s socks reveal the sacrifice of comforts that an artist’s life sometimes entails.
431. Enrique Alférez, Mexican/Louisiana, 1901-1999, “Kneeling Figure” cast composite stone with bronze patina, unsigned, composite stone base. 47 x 24 x 27 in. (119.4 x 61 x 68.6 cm.), Overall: 50 x 24 x 37 in. (127 x 61 x 94 cm.)
[$20,000 - 30,000]
Born in Mexico in 1901, Enrique Alferez’s life spanned almost the entirety of the 20th century. Alferez settled in New Orleans in 1929, an eclectic locale with a thriving art scene, and he split his time between there and his family compound and studio in Morelia, Mexico. His numerous public works have had a lasting impact on the visual identity of New Orleans.
The sculpture offered here is a life-size form of a kneeling woman with upraised arms wringing out her hair. An inscription on a known preparatory sketch (not offered) indicates that the work was created in Morelia in July of 1971. The pose bears resemblance to the allegorical kneeling figure of the South wind in one of Alferez’s defining works, the Fountain of the Four Winds, installed near the entrance to the New Orleans Lakefront Airport in 1938, thirty-three years prior. As is typical for Alferez, he utilized industrial materials such as cast concrete and stone aggregate and created his own techniques/patina to imitate a bronze finish. While that patina has aged over time, consistent with an outdoor placement, the surface does not lessen the impact of the gracefulness of the elegant figure.
Alferez’ large-scale works are offered very rarely at auction. Cherished in the same family collection since its commission, this figure displays the artist’s true mastery of the human form, defining him as a modernist who combined realism with classical influences and techniques to imbue an intense depth of meaning into his work.

In March of 1967, George Rodrigue returned to his hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where he had been studying traditional painting techniques, abstract expressionism, pop art and hardedge painting. As he explored his own path forward as an artist, Rodrigue’s earliest landscapes from 1967 to 1970 often included elements such as cabins and small figures. As his unique vision of Louisiana developed however, he abandoned these additional components in favor of the oak tree alone – his symbol of his home state.
As he began to develop local supporters, Rodrigue was introduced to the famous Louisiana architect, A. Hays Town, and his advice to the young artist further transformed Rodrigue’s approach. Town told him to “treat each painting like a jewel, because if it is precious to you, it will be precious to others as well.” The canvas titled “Siblings” from 1970 offered here is both a jewel and a window into the early development of the artist. The silhouetted oak trees in the background, one not quite cropped at the top, and a rich, dark foreground dominate the composition, while the light shining beneath the trees is particularly bright for the period – symbolizing the artist’s hope for the future.

George Rodrigue painted portraits throughout his career, beginning in the early 1970s and gaining a national reputation in the 1980s with a presidential portrait commission of Ronald Reagan. Rodrigue’s portraits, even as they capture the essence of a particular sitter, retain the enduring qualities of the artist’s carefully developed style and visual language that transcend one individual or singular moment in time. Often depicted against the oak trees of Acadiana, his subjects glow against the foliage in the same manner as his Cajuns. Strong shapes, hard edges and a rich palette are common veins running between his portraits. In “Stroud’s Shady Oaks” offered here, Rodrigue’s inclusion of the wine bottle and steak on the table results in a charming still life vignette which could have come straight from his famous “Aioli Dinner” of 1971, yet also perfectly suits his sitter.
Dwight Stroud was born in Union Church, Mississippi in 1931. He married the love of his life Margaret Bertrand, from Abbeville, Louisiana in 1961, after working on a seismograph crew in the area. In 1963, Stroud bought Shady Oaks Restaurant in Abbeville and began a lifelong career in the restaurant business. Stroud’s Shady Oaks was a gathering place and special occasion venue for many. The Abbeville restaurant was a study in contrasts. The walls held collections of fine European Boehm porcelain figurines and Lalique crystal, while ketchup and mustard bottles contained in aluminum pie tins topped the tables. Stroud’s wine collection was legendary. Featured in Wine Spectator, he had connections to some of California’s finest vintners and imported Premier Cru wines from France. His steaks were hand chosen, seasoned with a secret concoction, then fried in rendered beef fat. Leaving Abbeville in 1988, he opened Stroud’s Steakhouse in Lafayette, which closed in 2004. Stroud passed away in 2009.
Rodrigue, who always enjoyed a good meal, was friends with Stroud and regularly frequented the restaurant. This original portrait served as the basis for a poster for the business and was a cherished remembrance of good times between two unique and captivating characters.

Exh.: Upstairs Gallery, 368 N. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, Apr. - May, 1988.
In 1980, a Baton Rouge investment group commissioned George Rodrigue to illustrate a book of Louisiana ghost stories to be sold at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans. Authored by Chris Segura and featuring forty ghastly tales, Bayou, published by Inkwell Press the year of the fair, includes images of forty loosely corresponding paintings which took the artist three years to complete and would become known as the Bayou Collection.
In approaching the project, Rodrigue looked, as he was accustomed to doing, close to home for inspiration. He took the opportunity to paint the loupgarou (even though it is never once mentioned in the story) for the chapter “Slaughter House,” recalling his mother’s version of the legend where the loup-garou was a crazy wolf or ghost dog that prowled cemeteries and sugar cane fields waiting to pounce upon naughty children. Rodrigue followed a pattern of turning to his photo files for visual inspiration, finding snapshots of the family pet, Tiffany, who had passed away a few years prior. Tiffany had been with the Rodrigue family since she was a puppy and was a loyal studio companion to the artist. He had many photographs of her, often at eye-level, and found her strong shape suitable for his purposes.
The resulting painting, “Watchdog,” depicts the loup-garou in the foreground on tomb-like stepping stones with blue-grey fur under the night sky, wide yellow eyes with red pupils and a haunted house depicted in a rich, saturated red in the background. In retrospect, one can note that “Watchdog” was a pivotal moment in the artist’s career; however, it was not an immediate shift. The image clearly haunted Rodrigue, who at this point had already developed his clear, unique interpretation of the Louisiana landscape and his emblematic depictions of his own Cajun culture. He was drawn to the strong, graphic element of the dog and its anomalous color against the dark oaks. Over the next five years, he painted additional images of the loup-garou as part of his Cajun series, always situated solidly within the bayous of Acadiana and in the vein of the original narrative. As his Cajun paintings continued to receive national and international acclaim, the loup-garous multiplied on his canvases, culminating in 1988 in an exhibition at the Upstairs Gallery at 368 N. Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills of sixty paintings, including around a dozen featuring the loup-garou. This exhibition is where Rodrigue overhead a new phrase from visitors– “Blue Dogs.”
As described by Wendy Rodrigue: “George says that his first reaction was ‘Blue Dogs? What are they talking about?’ He really had no idea that people looked at his loup-garou in this way. The show was a sell-out – the Cajuns, the Landscapes, and the Blue Dogs (which after this were no longer part of the Cajun paintings, but rather took on a category of their own). George left that show with a lot to think about. He was shocked that it took a California audience to recognize this new, strong phenomenon in his work.”
“Today We Saw the Saints” was included in the Upstairs Gallery exhibition in 1988 and bears striking similarity in composition to “Watchdog,” with the significant addition of a remarkable, rare self-portrait. The stepping stones, following a similar diagonal pattern, have morphed into fully realized tombstones complete with grave markers. The artist himself, clad in white from head to toe, simultaneously glows against the dark oak and melds into the tombs upon which he stands. While he gazes into the future, the loupgarou confronts the viewer with a direct, red-eyed stare. The rough, wispy fur, oval eyes and deeper blue color present a creature even more wolf-like and otherworldly than the one seen in “Watchdog,” as though the loup-garou is now manifesting in its true form, five years later. The third figure, Rodrigue’s first wife, directs her eyes toward the artist and provides a stark contrast to the scene with her red outfit and hair, a strong counterpoint to the composition that plays a role similar to the haunted house element in “Watchdog.” Color
played an important part in Rodrigue’s work throughout his oeuvre, with each hue often having both a symbolic and compositional function. Blue and its spiritual qualities in particular would come to define him as a colorist, however his strong background in design was clear from his earliest utilization of shape and color to create timeless scenes.
Tombs and cemeteries were a common subject matter for Rodrigue, as the above-ground cemeteries and “cities of the dead” unique to South Louisiana helped to define the area’s culture and landscape. Rodrigue also had a personal connection to the theme, as his father once ran a tomb business. The high-school aged artist would drive his father’s van to school, emblazoned on the side with the words “Rodrigue’s Portable Concrete Burial Vaults,” and he would be sent to sink the “air-tight” tombs in the cemetery when they would float after a heavy rain. The tombs fit perfectly with the legend of the loup-garou, perennially lurking in cemeteries, and perhaps also represent in this canvas the artist’s connection to those lost – Tiffany herself, the generations of Cajuns preceding him, and his father, “Big George,” who had passed in 1967.
“Today We Saw the Saints” represents an extraordinary moment for George Rodrigue, a paradigm shift just as transformative as “Watchdog.” He stands in the canvas as the master of his landscape - honoring his past, his Cajun heritage and his artistic development just as he unknowingly balances on the cusp of a life-altering transition. The loup-garou, perched atop the tomb, foreshadows Rodrigue’s journey into the future and the Blue Dog series that will survive the artist himself and stand the test of time as an American art icon.

Often based on 1920s-30s period photographs from his mother’s album, Rodrigue’s early Cajun paintings reflect his interpretation of a fading era and his own Louisiana Cajun heritage with a contemporary and unique approach. His timeless figures inhabit a landscape clearly both familiar and beloved by the artist. In “Waiting for the Ride” (alternately titled “Looking for Summer Shade”), Rodrigue depicts three girls, one holding a ruffled parasol and two with wide-brimmed hats, seeking solace from the heat of a summer day under an oak tree. They are arrayed in front of a rectangular hitching post which serves to hint at the nature of their “ride” and anchors them within the composition. The two sources of light, the girls’ white garb and the sun glowing beneath the tree, serve to highlight the oftenshadowed landscape of Acadiana and allow Rodrigue’s Cajuns to shine from within with the symbolic hope of a displaced people.
Rodrigue captured the folklore and culture of the Cajuns at a time when it was slipping away and evolving into something new. So often, the beautiful and distinguishing aspects of a society are lost to time through this process. Rodrigue found a way through his distinctive graphic language to preserve and protect these stories. His early canvases, such as this one, are simultaneously personal, historical and modern.
