Zhang Daqian: Spring Mountains in Sichuan

“The political changes in China in 1949 forced Zhang Daqian to leave his homeland in Sichuan, and in August 1952, Zhang Daqian left Hong Kong to reside in Mendoza, Argentina… In Spring Mountains of Sichuan, Daqian wrote a deeply felt inscription, unmistakably a nostalgic recollection of the artist’s homeland in Sichuan: In the ample greenery…

Claude Monet: Sandvika, Norway

“Claude Monet’s trip to Norway in 1895 was perhaps the most physically taxing of all his many painting campaigns. Touring the country with his stepson Jacques Hoschedé, who lived in Christiania (now Oslo), he was awestruck but initially frustrated in his search for good motifs amid the snow. Nevertheless, he painted 29 Norwegian scenes during…

John William Waterhouse: Good Neighbours

“The attention to realistic harmony of colour and naturalistic detail is paramount in these early pictures, which were to an extent eclipsed by the idealism of the nymphs and sorceresses that increasingly dominated his work from the 1890s onwards. The early works of Waterhouse bear comparison with the best work of the Newlyn painters, particularly…

Zhang Daqian: Temple at the Mountain Peak

“Temple at the Mountain Peak confronts us with a staggering mountain that is both monumental in scale and visually impressive. Through the hues of blue and green, Zhang gives credence to his own philosophy: “the best brush strokes are gentle but not effete, bold but not wild, profound yet clear”. Zhang’s composition lends an air…

Philip de László: Princess Ruspoli, Duchess de Gramont

For this portrait, de László has employed unusual shades of green and purple not often seen in his palette. This, and the swathe of material draped about her head, may be said to reflect the original tastes of his sitter, well known as a fashion icon, whose olive skinned beauty well suited these colours. Christie’s…

Dame Laura Knight: Gypsies at Home

“Knight first became fascinated by gypsies at Ascot race meetings where, for many years, she drew and painted them from the comfort of a shining Rolls Royce; ‘This Royal meeting was a special occasion for the gipsies [sic.]; they came in their bright satin gala dresses, hair elaborately arranged with curls soaped to their cheeks,…

Frantisek Kupka: La cathédrale

“On his return from the war – where he fought for France at the Somme and then, after injury, organized the Czechoslovakian anti-German resistance in Paris – Kupka immersed himself back in his research. At the time La cathédrale was painted, Kupka had just finished the translation into Czech of his treaty, La creation dans…

Edouard Vuillard: Two Seamstresses in the Workroom

“The women seen in profile in the painting worked for Vuillard’s mother in her corset and dress-making business. For a few years in the early 1890s Vuillard’s paintings became so highly patterned that they verged on abstraction. It is likely that his day-to-day contact with patterned materials through his mother’s work influenced his very intricate,…

Wu Guanzhong: A Lacebark Pine of the Jing Mountains

“The bark of this type of pine peels from its trunk in irregular patches, producing a mottled pattern of white and brown of exceptional beauty…Whereas Van Gogh, influenced by Japan’s ukiyo-e paintings, tended in his later works to find sharp contrasts between his dark-colored outlines and brighter blocks of color, Wu Guanzhong distilled his lines…

Carlo Antonio Campioni: Sonata in G Minor

The Vivaldi Project“Praised for its brilliant and expressive playing, The Vivaldi Project presents innovative programs of Baroque and Classical string repertoire that combine scholarship and performance to both educate and delight audiences. The period instrument ensemble takes its name from the virtuoso violinist and innovative composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between…

Eva Cassidy: The Water Is Wide

The present work, En Barque sur la Marne, is exemplary in combining most of Lebasque’s influential artistic experiences into one luminous painting. The thick iridescent touches of paint show Lebasque’s understanding of colour and divisionnisme, whilst he uses bright tones to suffuse the scene with a sense of liveliness. An intimate scene of a young…

Max Ernst: Calme

“Arizona reappears as a motif throughout Ernst’s oeuvre, serving as blank canvas upon which the artist was able to project his psychological frame of mind. His grattages from the interwar period had depicted an imaginary Arizona landscape that appeared bleak and ravaged, reflecting Ernst’s traumatized state of mind after having served in World War I….

Wu Guanzhong: Guilin

“Wu Guanzhong’s paintings of Guilin landscapes can be grouped into works from the 1970s and 1990s. The earlier paintings rely more on sketches from life and are executed with complex compositions and detailed depictions of scenery. The latter ones focus on the charm and atmosphere, with simplified compositions and refined colour palettes. The artist himself…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: La Poudreuse

“The woman, likely the artist’s wife Sarah O’Bryan, sits before her poudreuse, compartments open, selecting a necklace to wear…The mood is contemplative yet cheery. The open top of the center compartment draped with a blue and yellow shawl begins a diagonal line that recedes into the painting through the sitter on to the back of…

Emil Nolde: Blumen

Emil Nolde (born Hans Emil Hansen; 7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956) was a German-Danish painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and was one of the first oil painting and watercolor painters of the early 20th century to explore color. He is known for his…

Chu Teh-chun: Crossing

“His handling of colours to represent elements of light and dark were seamlessly executed in Crossing (lot 334) – appearing for the first time at auction, this is an iconic example created at the height of Chu’s mature period. The free and uncontrolled brushstrokes wielded on canvas are all crafted with great skill and precision,…
