FINE PRINTS, DRAWINGS and PHOTOGRAPHS October, 2013 1 FINE PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS October, 2013 1. (1948 Campaign Poster) Henry A. Wallace, Glen Taylor and Rockwell Kent. LABOR! VOTE LABOR. American Labor Party Poster for the Presidential campaign of 1948, including the candidacies of Henry A, Wallace for President, Glen Tayor for Vice President and Rockwell Kent for Congress. 17 x 11 inches. Letterpress reading as follows: "LABOR!/Vote Labor/Wallace for President/Taylor for Vice Presdident/Rockwell Kent for Congress/VOTE ROW C/American Labor Party." The candidates were running on the Progressive Party ticket, which was supported by the American Labor Party. Wallace had been Vice President under FDR, Glen Taylor was the incumbent Senator from Idaho (and a former country singer), and Rockwell Kent was, of course a well known artist and author with extremely liberal politcal views; Kent had a dairy farm in AuSable Forks, NY at the time of this campaign, and presumably ran for Congress in the district in which the farm was located.

PAINTINGS: OILS, ACRYLICS AND OIL PASTELS Althea Amand is from Michigan where she studied architecture at the University of Michigan, and later obtained a Master's degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University. She has been painting for more than fifteen years, and has studied and exhibited at the Art Students League in New York City. She has also lived, worked and exhibited her paintings in San Francisco. She has lived in Portland since 2008. Her work is generated primarily from her imagination, rarely using models or depending on specific scenes or incidents for her subjects. Although they work on their own as well composed and colored painted forms, groups of figures with titles like Five Men, Five More Men, Argument, Men Eating, or Cafe invite the viewer to construct his own personal narrative about the very human personages, some looking violent, some depressed, some perfectly composed and at ease. She works in oils or acrylics on canvas, and in oil pastels on paper. We take great pleasure in exhibiting a selection of her work through the end of April. Works in the show, with their prices are: OIL PAINTINGS Street Scene - 24x18 inches - $400.00 Men Eating 16x20 inches - SOLD Cafe - 16x12 inches - $225.00 Man With Bottle - 12x24 inches - $300.00 ACRYLICS Five Men - 24x36 inches - $500.00 Five More Men - 24x18 inches - $350.00 Two Cats - 20x16 inches - $350.00 PASTELS Argument - 18x24 inches - $250.00 Men - 18x24 inches - $250.00 Emotion - 18x24 inches - $250.00 16.

Some light fixing, else in very nice condition.

  • 16 Exhibition on Screen
    Exhibition on Screen - The Impressionists – And the Man Who Made Them 2015, Run Time 97 minutes An eagerly anticipated exhibition travelling from the Musee d'Orsay Paris to the National Gallery London and on to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the focus of the most comprehensive film ever made about the Impressionists. The exhibition brings together Impressionist art accumulated by Paul Durand-Ruel, the 19th century Parisian art collector. Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley, are among the artists that he helped to establish through his galleries in London, New York and Paris. The exhibition, bringing together Durand-Ruel's treasures, is the focus of the film, which also interweaves the story of Impressionism and a look at highlights from Impressionist collections in several prominent American galleries. Paintings: Rosa Bonheur: Ploughing in Nevers, 1849 Constant Troyon: Oxen Ploughing, Morning Effect, 1855 Théodore Rousseau: An Avenue in the Forest of L’Isle-Adam, 1849 (Barbizon School) Jean-François Millet: The Gleaners, 1857 (Barbizon School) Jean-François Millet: The Angelus, c. 1857-1859 (Barbizon School) Charles-François Daubigny: The Grape Harvest in Burgundy, 1863 (Barbizon School) Jean-François Millet: Spring, 1868-1873 (Barbizon School) Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot: Ruins of the Château of Pierrefonds, c. 1830-1835 Théodore Rousseau: View of Mont Blanc, Seen from La Faucille, c. 1863-1867 Eugène Delecroix: Interior of a Dominican Convent in Madrid, 1831 Édouard Manet: Olympia, 1863 Pierre Auguste Renoir: The Swing, 1876 16 Alfred Sisley: Gateway to Argenteuil, 1872 Édouard Manet: Luncheon on the Grass, 1863 Edgar Degas: Ballet Rehearsal on Stage, 1874 Pierre Auguste Renoir: Ball at the Moulin de la Galette, 1876 Pierre Auguste Renoir: Portrait of Mademoiselle Legrand, 1875 Alexandre Cabanel: The Birth of Venus, 1863 Édouard Manet: The Fife Player, 1866 Édouard Manet: The Tragic Actor (Rouvière as Hamlet), 1866 Henri Fantin-Latour: A Studio in the Batingnolles, 1870 Claude Monet: The Thames below Westminster, c.

  • Claude Monet (1840-1926)
    Caroline Mc Corriston Claude Monet (1840-1926) ● Monet was the leading figure of the impressionist group. ● As a teenager in Normandy he was brought to paint outdoors by the talented painter Eugéne Boudin. Boudin taught him how to use oil paints. ● Monet was constantly in financial difficulty. His paintings were rejected by the Salon and critics attacked his work. ● Monet went to Paris in 1859. He befriended the artists Cézanne and Pissarro at the Academie Suisse. (an open studio were models were supplied to draw from and artists paid a small fee).He also met Courbet and Manet who both encouraged him. ● He studied briefly in the teaching studio of the academic history painter Charles Gleyre. Here he met Renoir and Sisley and painted with them near Barbizon. ● Every evening after leaving their studies, the students went to the Cafe Guerbois, where they met other young artists like Cezanne and Degas and engaged in lively discussions on art. ● Monet liked Japanese woodblock prints and was influenced by their strong colours. He built a Japanese bridge at his home in Giverny. Monet and Impressionism ● In the late 1860s Monet and Renoir painted together along the Seine at Argenteuil and established what became known as the Impressionist style. ● Monet valued spontaneity in painting and rejected the academic Salon painters’ strict formulae for shading, geometrically balanced compositions and linear perspective. ● Monet remained true to the impressionist style but went beyond its focus on plein air painting and in the 1890s began to finish most of his work in the studio. Personal Style and Technique ● Use of pure primary colours (straight from the tube) where possible ● Avoidance of black ● Addition of unexpected touches of primary colours to shadows ● Capturing the effect of sunlight ● Loose brushstrokes Subject Matter ● Monet painted simple outdoor scenes in the city, along the coast, on the banks of the Seine and in the countryside.

    THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/rockwellkentcollOObowd THE ROCKWELL KENT COLLECTION BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART 1972 COPYRIGHT 1972 BY THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE BRUNSWICK, MAINE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER 72-93429 Acknowledgments HIS little catalogue is dedicated to Sally Kent in gratitude for her abiding interest and considerable help in the for- mation of this collection. With the aid of Mrs. Kent, and the support of a generous donor, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art was able to obtain a representative collec- tion of the work of the late Rockwell Kent, consisting of six paintings and eighty-two drawings and watercolors. This collection, in addition to the John Sloan collection and the Winslow Homer collection already established here, will provide both the general public and researchers the opportunity to see and study in great detail certain important aspects of American art in the early twentieth century. Our appreciation is also extended to Mr. Richard Larcada of the Larcada Galleries, New York City, for his help during all phases of selection and acquisition. R.V.W. [5] Introduction HE paintings, drawings and watercolors in this collection pro- vide a varied cross section of Rockwell Kent's activities as painter, draftsman and illustrator. They range over a wide variety of style and technique, from finished paintings and watercolors to sketches and notations intended for use in the studio. As such, they provide an insight, otherwise unavailable, into the artist's creative processes and methods.

MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art The Museum of Modern Art, New York Seasons and Moments 64 pages, 50 illustrations (9 in color) $ 3.50 ''Mliili ^ 1* " CLAUDE MONET: Seasons and Moments LIBRARY by William C. Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.
