16Montague Dawson internationally recognized as the leading Marine artist of the Twentieth Century. He was thegrandson of painter Henry Dawson (1811-1878). He spent much of his childhood with his father, an avid sailor, on thewaters of Southampton where he learned about sailing and ships. Dawson studied under the renowned artist Charles Napier Hemy (1841–1917) at the Royal Academy. He met Hemyin Falmouth during the first World War when he was a member of the Royal Navy. It was during this time that hebecame skilled in painting naval ships. After the war, Dawson exhibited frequently at the Royal Academy andbegan his exclusive relationship with Frost & Reed Gallery in London. He was appointed as an official war artist dur-ing World War II, which can be seen in the following grisaille works offered. After the War, Montague Dawson established himself as a professional marine artist. He concentrated on historicalsubjects and on painting sailing ships, masterfully capturing the movement of the ocean waves and wind in the sails. The Needles, the subject of this current painting, is a row of threestacks ofchalk that rise about 30 meters out ofthe sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, close to Alum Bay. The NeedlesLighthouse stands at the outer, western end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.1The formation takes its name from a fourth needle-shaped pillar calledLot’s Wife, which collapsed in a storm in1764.2The remaining rocks are not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.The Needles were the site of a long-standingartillery battery, from the 1860s to 1954, which was eventually decom-missioned. Tourists from around the world are still drawn to The Needles today as scenic boat trips that operate fromAlum Bay offer close-up views of the Needles. The rocks and lighthouse have become icons of theIsle of Wight. Thesite is an internationally well-known sailing destination. “Shortly before his death in 1973,” writes Ron Ranson in his 1993 monograph, “a remarkable tribute was made toMontague Dawson. He looked out of his window one day to see two fully rigged training ships, theRoyalistandtheSir Winston Churchill, apparently sailing straight towards his house on the shore. At what appeared to be the verylast moment, they turned about, and both ships dipped their ensigns in salute to the man who had probably donemore than any other to capture the magic and majesty of sail.”3().Dawson was an associate of the Royal Society of Artists and a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Hisworks can be viewed in museums around the world.1"Needles Lighthouse". Trinity House. n.d. Archived fromthe original on 2 May 2010.

THERESA FERBER BERNSTEINAmerican (1890-2002)
Theresa Bernstein’s artistic career lasted over 90 years and spanned the twentieth century. She was a painter, printmaker, teacher, poet, storyteller and art activist. Loosely associated with the Ashcan School, Bernstein’s subjectsincluded modern scenes of urban life and popular culture. She painted in an expressive colorful style in New YorkCity and during the summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Bernstein was born in Krakow, Poland in 1890. She and her parents emigrated to the United States, settling first inPhiladelphia. She attended the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now the Moore College of Art andDesign) where her teachers included Harriet Sartain, Elliott Daingerfield, Henry Snell, Daniel Garber and SamuelMurray. In 1912, she moved to New York City to attend the Art Students League. There she studied under andbefriended William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri and later John Sloan, Stuart Davis and Edward Hopper.Bernstein arrived in New York City at a time when there were competing definitions ofModernism, the New York Realists and the Abstractionists. Bernstein was primarily a Realistpainter, embracing the alternative definition of Modernism. Although her works were figurative, they were highly expressive and filled with color. Bernstein was exposed to all ofthe Modern art movements going on around her. She visited the 1913 Armory Show,although she famously claims to have seen neither nude nor staircase in Duchamp’s infamous painting. In 1912 and again in 1923 she travelled to Europe where she saw worksby Kandinsky, Marc and Munch. In 1913, she made a breakthrough when one of her paintings was chosen for the annualexhibition at the National Academy of Design. In 1919, she had a major show at the Milch Gallery.The first few decades of the 1900s were Bernstein’s most realist period. She painted street scenes, tenement housesand, as in the present example, a kindergarten class. Her works from the teens and twenties are considered amongher best and were the subject of a 1991 exhibition Echoes of New York: The Paintings of Theresa Bernstein. TheKindergarten was included in the exhibition because it shows her sensitivity in capturing her subject matter. Sheoften painted women and children, and as is apparent in her study drawings (figs. 1 and 2), she was adept at capturing the moment through expression and gesture.In 1919, she married Russian émigré artist William Meyerowitz. The couple moved near Times Square and CentralPark, placing Bernstein in the heart of city life. She painted parades, parks, trolleys and concerts. She would ventureto Coney Island and in the summers, the couple would spend their time in Gloucester, Massachusetts. There shepainted beaches and harbor scenes.Of her Gloucester paintings, Patricia M. Burnham, noted Bernstein scholar writes, “The subject that seemed to liberate Bernstein’s brush and color was the beach—Coney Islandat first, Gloucester later. True to her temperament, she was attracted to human activity atthe sea shore than to the sea itself.”1Her beach scenes, as in lots 36, 246 and 247, are animated, filled with color bustling with activity. Although her work in achieved critical success throughout the 1920s, in the 1930s itbecame difficult for her to sustain her reputation. As a woman artist, she was often overlooked or disregarded. She was champion of her husband Meyerowitz, often promoting his work above her own. Although the history of art closes the chapter on New York Realism in 1913, Bernstein is oneof the notable painters who kept the style alive. She died in 2002, a few weeks shy of her112thbirthday. 1Patricia M. Burnham, “Theresa Bernstein,” Woman’s Art Journal (Fall 1988 / Winter 1989).Images on this page: Bernstein, Theresa.

34Daniel Ridgway Knight (1839-1924) was a prominent American expatriate artist working in 19thcentury France. He was born in Pennsylvania and attended the Pennsylvania Academy of FineArts along with Mary Cassatt and Thomas Eakins. In 1861, Knight went to Paris for two years tostudy at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He apprenticed under Charles-Gabriel Gleyere (1806-1874)and worked briefly under Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891). In 1863 Knight returned to Philadelphia to serve in the Union Army. He founded the PennsylvaniaSketch Club where he exhibited portraits and battle scenes sketched during the war. He marriedin 1871, and in 1872 Knight and his new wife moved to France and settled in Poissy, a village justnorth of Paris. Knight’s work exhibits the influences of his French Impressionist friends Pierre-Auguste Renoir andAlfred Sisley, also pupils in Gleyere’s atelier. The influences of other contemporaries includingJean-Francois Millet, Jules Bastien-Lepage and Jules Breton can also be identified. In contrast tothese proponents of realism, Knight’s work depicts the “peasant-picturesque.” Young, prettymaidens stroll through scenic landscapes and bountiful gardens, there is nothing to indicate theeconomic hardships of the peasant class.Knight often used local peasant women as models, dressing them up costume and placing themin idyllic settings. In Summer Afternoon, Seine Valley the maiden stands in a picking garden in fullsummer bloom. Knight showcases his skills as a flower painter. Here in a field of poppies, lupine,sunflowers and dahlias the young maiden selects the best bloom to pick. The artist successfullycaptures the tender way in which the maiden holds the flower and her gaze as she admires it. Universally appealing, Knight’s works are widely collected by museums and individuals alike.During his lifetime Knight earned a multitude of ribbons and prizes, exhibiting in both Europe andAmerica. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Milwaukee Museum and the BrooklynMuseum were among the first public institutions to collect his work.

46Paul Cornoyer was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and attended the city’s school of fine arts beforetraveling to Paris in 1889 to study with Jules Lefebvre, Benjamin Constant, and Louis Blanc. Uponreturning to St. Louis in 1894, he established himself as a painter of urban subjects. His work attracted the attention of William Merritt Chase, who bought one of his paintings andadvised Cornoyer to visit New York. Following Chase’s advice, he moved to New York City in 1899,and found success as a painter of the city’s streets and parks. Cornoyer was at the vanguard ofartists who made the city their subject; William H. Gerdts wrote that he “contributed significantlyto this relatively new genre.”1Like Chase, Cornoyer was especially interested in the city’s parks and their juxtaposition with thesurrounding architecture. He also took note of the parks’ value as urban oases, and his thoughtson their social significance are worth quoting in part:It is in the parks that the spirit of metropolitan life most truly reveals itself. The call ofnature is vibrant within us all, either consciously or subconsciously. There it finds itsoutlet. The bustle, the work, the tension—all that is an inevitable accompanimentof city life…. There you will find all classes. The children of the rich romp on thegreen side by side with the worn, haggard men for whom all hope has ceased;there shop-girls and working men pause for comfort on their way from toil; thereall the people who go to make up New York’s diverse population at one time oranother find their way. Under the soothing influence of nature’s green their trou-bles and worries seem lessened…. 2In the current example of the artist’s work “Washington Square” Cornoyer depicts the mood andambience of the park. The arch, designed by renowned architect Stanford White, glows is thecenter of the painting. Washington Square Park, abundant in its history, still provides a space forlocal residents, students, visitors from around the world.1William H.

60In 1972, Brevoort was the subject of a retrospective exhibition and accompanying catalogue raisonne of his workspublished by the Hudson River Museum. In the introduction to the catalogue, scholar Sutherland McColley notes:Brevoort came of artistic age just as the High Tide of Hudson River Faith in the grandeur of Americanlandscape was ebbing out. In the 1860s and the 1870s a new generation of nature painters emergedto trace a gentler, more reticent vision of the land for forty years to come, and Brevoort was amongthem. Of his generation, almost all who painted the American landscape shared, in their work, thequality which a contemporary called ‘a certain noble simplicity, quietude, and sobriety, that onefeels grateful for in an age of gilded-eagleism…’”1Brevoort was born in 1832 in Yonkers, New York. He spent most of his childhood on his father’s farm in Williamsbridgeand Fordham. He began drawing at an early age and in the 1850s studied architecture with his cousin, noted archi-tect, James Renwick, designer of the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Grace Church inNew York City. In 1854 he received a certificate of architecture from New York University. During this period, he also began attending the National Academy of Design. He took courses with miniature por-trait artist Thomas Cummings who taught drawing and perspective. From 1856 on, Brevoort exhibited regularly atthe Academy. In 1861, he was elected as an Associate Academician and painted landscapes in nearbyConnecticut, in the Catskills and on Long Island. In 1873, newly married after the death of his first wife, Brevoort emptied his studio. He sold 150 of his landscapes andpaintings by other artists he had collected including works by Alexander Wyant, William Hart, Jervis McEntee andGeorge Inness. He and his wife departed for Europe later that year, returning to the states in the early 1880s.His works in the 1860s and early 1870s showed an increased interest in the effects of atmosphere and perspective.In the 1870s, the second-generation of Hudson River School artists were changing their approach to the Americanlandscape. Artists like Brevoort were focusing on atmosphere, haze, reflections and the times of the day, twilight anddawn. Landscapes from this period were restrained and simple, without a narrative or a theme. As Brevoort’s biog-rapher McColley notes; “Brevoort’s work in the 1860s already showed a predisposition for the fleeting forms of land-scape. After the 1870s his work turned progressively towards expressing the mood and transparency of nature.”Brevoort and his contemporaries, John Frederick Kensett, George Inness, Sanford Gifford, Alexander Wyant andlater R. Swain Gifford and J. Alden Weir were interested in the religious and mystical aspects of nature, captured inthe new Luminist style of painting. The present example, a view of Gloucester Bay, exemplifies Brevoort’s skill at capturing fleeting atmospheric effects.He skillfully renders the reflections on the water, the hazy ocean air, the crisp rocks and the bright blue sky. The influ-ence of John F. Kensett is apparent in this fine example of the artist’s work. In 1873 he painted Gloucester Bay over a dozen times. A large 30 x 48-inch canvas titled Inside Eastern Point,Gloucester Bay, 1871 is currently in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). A favorite sub-ject for the artist, the present canvas is the only view of Gloucester by Brevoort that has come up for auction. 1Sutherland McColley, The Works of James Renwick Brevoort, 1832-1918, American Landscape Painter, Yonkers, New York: TheHudson River Museum, 1972, p. ix.

Abastenia Eberle created this sculpture at her cottage in Woodstock, New York in 1910, using a local woman as amodel. “I remember thinking about the idea [of sweeping] continually when walking about New York and later Imodeled it in Woodstock. Every farmer’s wife I knew was arguing about how to sweep properly.” In time she cameto understand that this statue “was the expression of a subjective reality—though I myself was not aware of it at thetime. Later I realized why the idea of ‘sweeping something out’ had been so insistent.” By 1910 Eberle was well along in a personal transition that in some ways mirrored the large forces moving in the artcommunity and in the world beyond it. She had come to New York in 1899, alone, with few funds, and twenty yearsold. She had very little art background; she was in training to be a professional musician. Until she was in her teensthe only sculptures, she had seen were cemetery monuments that “didn’t fill the bill.” Until she came to New Yorkher only formal work had been two years at the Canton, Ohio, YWCA, where she had personally rounded up therequisite ten students to there could be a sculpture class. During the Spanish-American War, when her father wasstationed as a physician to the military in Puerto Rico, she modeled portraits of the life she saw around her. Shemoved eventually moved to New York and enrolled at the Art Students League. With Anna Vaughn Hyatt (later Huntington) she collaborated on at least three major pieces, Eberle doing the people and Huntington the animals. Gutzon Borglum, Huntington’s teacher, urged them to submit their Men and Bullfor the 1904 Society of American Artists exhibit, where it was greeted with enthusiasm by the jury, including AugustusSaint-Gaudens. Within two years, echoing the divisions in the art world, their two careers went different ways.Huntington went to Paris to study. Eberle remained in New York. The breakthrough came as she began to find interest for her small figures of the life of the streets in lower Manhattan.Roller Skating (1906) was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1906 Eberle was elected to the NationalSculpture Society, only one of seven women since its founding. In 1907 and again in 1908 she went to Naples, whereshe could cast her work more inexpensively. The Italian foundry, never having handled the work of a woman artistbefore, had to be convinced that the work was hers and that she knew what she was doing.She became active in the suffrage movement, organizing a show at the Macbeth Gallery to raise funds, and leading a contingent of women sculptors in the women’s suffrage parade. The role of the artist, Eberle told The Survey, is to be “the specialized eye of society, just as the artisan is the hand,and the thinker the brain…the artist must see for the people—reveal them to themselves.” According to the NewYork Evening Sun, “This is her way of helping combat the injustices and evils of our system. She does not preach; shemakes us see.”In 1909 Eberle built a small studio in the burgeoning artist colony in Woodstock, New York. There in 1910 she modeledWindy Doorstep, the woman sweeping with the wind, so all the accumulateddebris is blown far away. It became one of her most successful pieces. Atthe National Academy of Design exhibition in 1910 it won the HelenFoster Barnett Prize for the best sculpture by an artist under thirty-five.It was purchased by four museums, the Carnegie Institute, theNewark Museum, Peabody Institute and the Worcester Art Museum.By April 1917, fifteen copies of the edition of twenty had been sold. During the ten years following the success of Windy Doorstep,Eberle’s career flourished. She had two pieces in the groundbreak-ing Armory Show (1913). In 1920 she was elected to the NationalAcademy of Design and year later the Macbeth Gallery gave her aone-artist show. By this time, the bad health that had begun toplague her in 1915 took hold and her heart was too weak to continue.At forty-three, she was forced to retire, working only when she had thestrength and the means to hire help for the heavy work sculpture demands.She died in 1942.Windy Doorstep is marked “S. Klaber & Co. / Founders NY” as is the exampleat the Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester. According to JoelRosenkranz, of Connor Rosenkranz, New York, New York, this indicates an early casting of this piece. Adapted from: Pamela W.

72Anna Mary Robertson Moses, affectionately known as Grandma Moses, has become an American icon. Her charming depictions of children and country life have been exhibited internationally and countlessly reproducedon prints, greeting cards and dinnerware.Moses, a self-taught artist, started painting in her seventies and lived to be 101. She painted from her memory, “old-timey things,” recollections from her life on a farm in Upstate New York and in the Shenandoah valley. She wasborn in Washington County, New York in 1860. Her parents were farmers and she was the third of ten children. Froman early age, she was expected to work and complete tasks on the farm attending school only sporadically.At the age of twelve, she worked as a “hired girl” as staff help in the wealthier homes. She worked on various farmsfor the next fifteen years when she married Thomas Salmon Moses and moved to a farm in Virginia. The Moses familyrented farms in Virginia until they were finally able to afford their own. The family grew to ten children, although onlyfive survived passed infancy. Moses’ neighbors referred to her as “Mother Moses.”In 1905, the family returned to New York where they purchased a farm in Eagle Bridge. As she entered her 60s, Moseshad more free time to sew, embroider and paint. In 1927 her husband died suddenly and in 1932 she moved toBennington to care for her sick daughter. A year later, she moved back to her farm in Eagle Bridge after the deathof her daughter. Around this time her arthritis forced her to abandon embroidery and the “worsted pictures” shehad been designing. Moses first started to copy postcards and Currier and Ives prints, before beginning to recreate scenes from herchildhood and piecing together imagined stories. Her favorite subjects were landscapes filled with happy scenes offarm life and rural activity. She would sell her oil paintings at county fairs alongside her prize-winning pickles. In 1938 a New York City collectorpurchased a group of paintings from a pharmacy window in Hoosick Falls, New York. The collector then took thepaintings to gallerist Otto Kallir, proprietor of Galerie St. Etienne in Manhattan. Kallir immediately recognized her talent and in 1940 launched Moses’ career with an exhibition titled “What a FarmWoman Painted.” Five years later, Hallmark purchased the rights to reproduce her paintings on Christmas cards selling 6 million copies the first year.In 1949, President Truman awarded Moses the Women’s National Press Club Award and in 1950 a documentary ofher life was nominated for an Academy Award. At times, her commercial success overshadowed her recognition as an important, serious artist by the museumworld. In 2001, Jane Kallir (daughter of Otto Kallir) led an effort to reevaluate Moses’ work in retrospective titled“Grandma Moses in the 21stCentury.” The exhibition was accompanied by a 263-page catalog with critical essays.It was held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and reviews indicate it garnered the critical acclaim Mosespatrons had sought. In a review of the exhibition critic Peter Schjeldahl wrote "Moses fell victim to the sterile categories of ‘naïve’ and‘outsider’ and ‘self-taught’ . . . The truth is that every genuine artist—and, preeminently, every great one, likePollock—retains childlike and alienated qualities and remains self-taught where it counts.

74Otto Henry Bacher was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to a family of German descent. He first studied art at the age ofsixteen with local genre trompe l’oeil still-life artist, DeScott Evans. After a short period in Philadelphia, where he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA), Bacher returned to Cleveland and met Willis SeaverAdams, an artist from Springfield, Massachusetts, who had recently arrived on the Cleveland art scene. Adams wasinstrumental in the founding of the Cleveland Art Club, as well as the establishment of the Cleveland Academy ofthe Fine Arts. During this time, Bacher began to learn the process of etching from local etcher and landscapepainter Sion Longley Wenban. In 1878, Bacher and Adams left for Europe. After stopping briefly in Scotland, Bacher went on to Munich, where heenrolled at the Royal Academy. He quickly tired of the rigors of the academy, and soon he was studying withCincinnati artist Frank Duveneck as one of the celebrated “Duveneck Boys.” Early in the following year, the groupproceeded to Venice, where Bacher and several other artists established studios in the Casa Jankovitz. By this timean avid printmaker, Bacher had his etching press sent from Munich, and it was in his Venice studio that he taughtDuveneck the rudiments of etching. It was also in Venice that Bacher met American expatriate artist, James McNeill Whistler. On learning of Bacher’spress, Whistler made himself a regular visitor to Bacher’s studio, eventually taking his own room at Casa Jankovitz.Bacher spent much of the rest of 1880 sharing etching techniques with Whistler. Bacher visited Whistler occasionallyin the years that followed, and in 1908 he published With Whistler in Venice, his famous recollections of his time withthe great artist. Bacher spent the next two years traveling extensively throughout Italy, with Venice as the center ofhis operations, and he produced several important etchings of Italian subjects. Bacher returned to Cleveland in January 1883 as a fully cosmopolitan artist. He set up a lavish studio furnished withexotic items and objets d’art he had collected on his travels and began to hold art classes a means to supplementhis income. He soon joined with Joseph DeCamp in forming a summer sketch class in Richfield, Ohio. Bacher andDe Camp also planned the Cleveland Room for a major loan exhibition in Detroit that year. During this period,Bacher began increasingly to paint in oil, and he began to produce sun-dappled canvases in an impressionisticmode. Unable to sell any paintings from this early period, however, Bacher left Cleveland for Paris in 1885, where heplanned to undertake further studies. Stopping first in London to visit Whistler, Bacher stayed only briefly in Parisbefore heading to Venice, where he spent the remainder of the year. Bacher, Robert Blum, and Charles Ulrich livedin the Palazzo Contarni degli Scrigni on the Grand Canal. At the end of the year, Bacher returned to New York, andsettled there permanently after marrying in 1888.Bacher received his greatest recognition in 1904, when he won a Silver Medal for his etchings at the St. LouisExposition. In addition to his work in printmaking, Bacher also produced and sold several oil paintings and pastelsthroughout the 1890s and early 1900, many of which he exhibited in New York at the Society of American Artists andthe National Academy of Design. These works demonstrate Bacher’s assimilation of Impressionism, both in his treatment of genteel interior scenes as well as the landscape. Bacher spent the last years of his life in Lawrence Park,Bronxville, New York. Along with all the members of the Society of American Artists, Bacher was elected as associateof the National Academy of Design in 1906. Interior of a Fifth Avenue Bank, New York is a canvas very much in line with Bacher’s mature style. The color schemeand broken brushwork are strongly related to Impressionism, but Bacher’s academic training is clear in the firmlyrealistic rendering of the figures and the crisp outline given to the objects in the painting. In this highly decorativework, Bacher seems to have delighted in depicting the details of the various patterns that define the interior setting,as seen in the wallpaper, the floor rug, and the fabric of the furniture. Bacher has placed a small table with a large,closed book upon it directly in the foreground, a compositional device that distances the viewer from the intimateaction of the two figures. Directly behind the table in the distance is a mirror, which is seen head-on. Interestingly, inaddition to the reflection of the table and the back of the chair in which the figure on the right is sitting, on sees inthis mirror a third female figure sitting in the very position of the viewer. These interest in compositional tricks and challenges in the depiction of interior space share some sympathies with the work of Edmund Tarbell and the otherartists of the Boston School, who in the late nineteenth century took a renewed interest in the works of Vermeer andthe seventeenth-century Dutch masters. Bacher’s work is different, however, in that it doesn’t incorporate the subdued palette or the dramatic raking light of the Dutch school and is instead a quintessentially American amal-gam of several European styles.Later research reveals this painting is likely the Fifth Avenue Bank, a bank specializing in serving wealthy societywomen. In 1893, the bank had a so-called “Ladies’ Room,” similarly appointed to the room in Bacher’s composition.

78John George Brown enjoyed a highly successful career during his lifetime as the richest and mostcelebrated genre painter in turn-of-the-century America. Brown is best known for his depictionsof children, particularly street urchins, shoe-shine boys, flower sellers and newspaper boys. Heromanticized the poverty and depicted the children playing, laughing or in a comedic narrative.The young girl in the present lot is a masterpiece by the artist. J.G. Brown was born into a poorfamily in Durham, England. His father, a lawyer, insisted that Brown learn a trade despite his earlypredilection for drawing. Brown apprenticed for seven years with a glass cutter and worked atthis trade in Edinburgh, Scotland where he attended the School of the Royal Scottish Academy.When he was 22 years old, he went to London and earned money painting portraits. While inLondon, he heard a music hall performer singing about American life. He decided to move toBrooklyn and took a job as a glass cutter at the Flint Glass Works in Brooklyn. His employer was soimpressed with Brown’s designs that he helped Brown study with miniature painter ThomasCummings. Brown later married Cummings’ daughter.Brown continued to study painting taking night classes at the National Academy of Design. InMay of 1856 he rented his own studio in Brooklyn. By 1863, he was elected a member of NationalAcademy of Design and begin teaching classes at the Academy. From this point forward, Brownbecame known as “the boot-black Raphael.” He sold original paintings for $500-700 earningaround $40,000 annually and making royalties from lithographs of his paintings that were distrib-uted with packaged tea. A vast sum in the 1860s.Although many of his paintings feature the same subjects, occasionally Brown would paint trulyartistic pieces that showcase his true abilities as an artist. The Flower Girl is one such example,showing off Brown’s talent as both a portrait artist and a flower painter. Probably the daughter ofa wealthy family dressed up like a flower vendor. She wears a beautifully detailed lace collar, asilk skirt and carries two baskets with abundant flowers. The black hat on her head is covered withred poppies and daisies, in her hands she carries a tray of pink roses and a basket of roses, pansiesand lilacs. Brown paid meticulous attention to detail in the flowers and in her lace blouse. Theyoung girl with her rosy cheeks looks directly forward, engaging the viewer. J.G. Brown was tremendously successful within his lifetime, and his works continue to be collectedby several prominent museum and private collectors. His works can be seen in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston among others.

80Frederick Mulhaupt arrived in Cape Ann around 1907 and would continue to paint there until hisdeath in 1938. He became a year-round resident of Gloucester in 1922. Following the legacy ofnumerous notable American artists including Fritz Hugh Lane, Winslow Homer, William Morris Hunt,John H. Twachtman and Childe Hassam, Mulhaupt summered in Gloucester painting in the abun-dant light and studying the fishermen locals. Mulhaupt was born in Rockport, Missouri in 1871 of German descent. He grew up on the southernborder of Kansas in a region largely unsettled and still Native American territory. He moved awayfrom the area to Kansas City, Missouri where he apprenticed with a local sign painter. Soon heattended the Kansas City School of Design. Although the specific dates are unknown, Mulhaupt attended the Art Institute of Chicago in theearly 1890s and became one of the founding members of the Palette and Chisel Club in 1895. In1904 he left Chicago and took up residence at New York City’s famed Salmagundi Club. He trav-elled frequently to Europe to further hone his skills as an artist visiting France and England. In Paris, he joined the American Art Association, an expatriate group formed in 1890. Althoughnot expressly an Impressionist group, many American artists were influenced by the works of theImpressionists that they encountered while in Paris. Mulhaupt incorporated the Impressionistapproach to painting in his Gloucester scenes that successfully depict the fleeting effects of lightand air. Mulhaupt returned to States and again his address was listed at the Salmagundi Club indicatinghis success as an artist. He spent his summers visiting and painting in Gloucester. There, he truly hithis stride as an artist. He exhibited at the Gallery-on-the-Moors in five of the seven summer exhi-bitions. He was a founding member of the North Shore Arts Association, formed in 1922 and exhib-ited there from 1923 until his death in 1938.Although he kept his connections to the New York City art world, Mulhaupt spent increasingamounts of time in Gloucester. He married Agnes Leone Kinglsley in 1921 and the couple had ason in 1922. That same year, he became a permanent resident of Gloucester buying a house onMain Street in the center of the community. In 1926, Mulhaupt was elected as an Associate member of the National Academy of Design. Hereceived numerous other awards and recognitions and was a highly accomplished artist duringhis lifetime. There were painters in Gloucester in the old days who were more exact than he was—more“authentic” in that they got the shape of each boat exactly right. But many of these painters, asyou looked at their work, might just as well have been painting a scene in England or Norway.Mulhaupt got the smell of Gloucester on canvas. He captured the mood of the place—andthat’s worth all the good drawing of a hundred lesser painters.—Emile Gruppe

86Percival Rosseau was born in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana in 1859. His father and two older brothers were killedduring the Civil War (1861-1865). During the Mississippi Campaign, the Union army led by General W.T. Shermandestroyed the family plantation. Rosseau and his sister were rescued by a slave and raised by a family friend inKentucky. In Kentucky, Rosseau’s guardian taught him to fish and shoot. As a businessman and entrepreneur, he was worked in several professions including a cowboy and a failed venturein lumber. He later owned a lucrative import business that allowed him to retire at age 35. It was at this stage thathis professional career as an artist began. He left the import business to his partner and made the journey to Paris tostudy at the Académie Julian.Rosseau trained in the Paris ateliers of Jules Lefevre, Tony Robert-Fleury and Charles Herman-Leon. Mainly, theseartists were known for their portraits and figure studies of classical subjects. Following in the footsteps of his teachers,in 1900 and in 1901 Rosseau exhibited “Ariadne” and “Antiope” at the Paris Salon. In 1903, however, frustrated withthe trials of working with figure models, Rosseau submitted a painting of “Diana.” He introduced two Irish wolfhoundsto the composition running alongside the huntress. He received such high praise for the wolfhounds, that he decided to submit a painting of just two dogs for the 1904 Salon. This was met with critical acclaim and the paintingsold within one day of exhibition, launching Rosseau’s career as a painter of dogs.This launched Rosseau’s career as a sporting artist and a painter of dogs. He remained in France until 1915 but madefrequent trips back to the United States to fulfill commissions and participate in exhibitions. His paintings were, andcontinue to be, in high demand. At the onset of World War I, he moved back to the States where he settled in Lyme,Connecticut. In October 1922 the International Studio called Percival Leonard Rosseau “…the greatest painter ofdogs in America.”1During this time, one of his most prominent patrons was Percy Rockefeller. In the early 1920s the Rockefeller familywas building a residence at Overhills, an exclusive hunting club in North Carolina. In 1927, receipts for contractorpayments at Overhills detail payments made to construct a cottage for Rosseau on the property. Rockefellerencouraged Rosseau to use his dogs as models. The present lot is a rare example of a painting by Rosseau depicting four pointers. The size and complexity of thecanvas indicate that this work was intended for exhibition or for an important private commission. The landscape isdifficult to identify with certainty but based on the artist’s biography this work was likely painted in Connecticut orat Overhills. Rosseau was a member of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Lotos Club in New YorkCity, and the Lyme Art Association. He exhibited at the Paris Salon, the Lyme Art Association, and prominent galleriesin New York City and elsewhere. His works are included in numerous notable private and public collections includingThe Orlando Museum of Art, The Columbus Museum of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Rosseaudied in Fayetteville, North Carolina on November 29, 1937.1International Studio, “Rosseau – Painter of Dogs,” October 1922, pp. 32-36

90Fern I. Coppedge is one of the leading Pennsylvania Impressionists and one of the most important female artists ofthe Pennsylvania Impressionist movement. Her best works are snowy landscapes of New Hope, Pennsylvania a subject she would revisit on numerous occasions after her first visit in 1917. Her landscapes are recognizable for theirbright, contrasting colors and she is often compared to the European Fauve and Post-Impressionist painters.Coppedge was born in Decatur, Illinois and grew up on her family’s farm with four other siblings. At age 13, shemoved to California with her sister and first took an interest in art. When she returned to the Midwest, she studied atMcPherson College and then the University of Kansas. From 1908-1910, she focused on pursuing an art education atthe Art Institute of Chicago. She married, and after a brief stint in Kansas, Coppedge moved to New York City. In New York, she studied at theArt Students League under William Merritt Chase and Frank Vincent Dumond, she would also visit the Woodstockcolony and study with John F. Carlson. In 1917, she was invited to exhibit at the annual exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA). Forthe following two years, 1918-1919, Coppedge took courses at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under DanielGarber and at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women with Henry B. Snell. In 1920, Coppedge moved to BucksCounty purchasing a studio in Lumberville, near New Hope. Other artists living in Lumberville at the time includedDaniel Garber, Clarence Johnson and William Francis Taylor. In 1922, Coppedge joined “The Philadelphia Ten,” a group of female artists who exhibited together from 1917-1945(founding members of this group included Theresa Bernstein and Arrah Lee Gaul). Coppedge would exhibit withthem until 1935. In 1929, she purchased a home and studio on Main Street in the center of New Hope. She styledher home after an old Bucks County farmhouse and modeled the studio after a 19thcentury carriage house. During these years as an established artist, Coppedge would travel between New Hope and her exhibition studioin Philadelphia. She would often spend her summers painting in Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts. In New Hope, she was a well-known member of the community. In 1933 and art critic in The New Hope magazinewrote, “We remember seeing Mrs. Coppedge trudging through the deep snow wrapped in a bearskin coat, hersketching materials slung over her shoulder, her blue eyes sparkling with the joy of life.” She often painted outdoors,en plein air, and from the rear of her car which had the back seat removed. Coppedge left a legacy for future female artists to follow. She died in her home in New Hope in 1951 a successful,independent and prolific female artist. She continues to be recognized as one of the leading PennsylvaniaImpressionists. Her works are collected in many notable museums and private collections including the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Art and the Michener Art Museum.

92In 1964 Richard Anuszkiewicz was called “the new wizard of Op” by Life magazine. Considereda leader in the Optical Art, “Op Art,” movement, Anuszkiewicz’ work was exhibited in the seminal1965 exhibition “The Responsive Eye,” at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Hisworks create a psychological experience through the artist’s use of high-intensity color appliedto a rigid mathematical composition. These explorations of light, color and line create a hypnotizing effect on the viewer. Anuszkiewicz was born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1930. He attended the Cleveland Institute of Art where he received his B.F.A. In 1953, he went to the National Academy of Design through a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship. He continued his studies at Yale University in New Haven,Connecticut earning his M.F.A. and studying under Josef Albers. Albers, a well-known artist andmaster color theorist had an obvious influence on Anuszkiewicz’ work.After completing his graduate degree, Anuszkiewicz moved to New York where he became asuccessful artist with his paintings of a set number of geometric configurations painted with dif-ferent high-intensity colors. In 1960 following a one-man show at The Contemporaries, MoMA purchased two of his paintings launching his career.The present canvas is from 1961 and also exhibited at The Contemporaries gallery in New YorkCity. Albers influence is apparent in the subtle color changes and repetition of forms. This workwas included in a 2014 exhibition “An Albers Legacy,” at the Francis Frost Gallery in Newport,Rhode Island. It was also exhibited at the Yale University Art Gallery in 1993 in an exhibition “YaleCollects Yale.” This painting comes from the collection of prominent art historian and curatorTheodore E. Stebbins, alum and curator of the Yale University Art Gallery from 1968-1977. In the late 1960s and early 70s, these works helped build the nascent Op Art movement.Anuszkiewicz, together with Victor Vasarely in France, is considered one of the founders of Op Art.As an artist, Anuszkiewicz does not consider himself an Op artist as he is more interested in following the footsteps of his teacher, Albers. Anuszkiewicz returned to the Midwest to pursue a degree in Education from Kent State University,where he would later teach. During this time, he dove into color experimentation using the full-intensity colors he best known for. In 2000, Anuszkiewicz was the recipient of the famed Lee Krasner award and his works have beenexhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Florence Biennale and Documenta. His works are collectedin numerous private and public institutions including the Corcoran Gallery of Art in WashingtonD.C., the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the WhitneyMuseum of Art in New York City and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

174CONSIGNMENTS INVITEDTESTIMONIALSOn behalf of my mother and sister, I’d like to express to you our appreciation for the way you conducted the sale ofmy mother’s oil painting by M.J. Heade.

Thanks to the guidance and the hard work of your firm we were ableto realize what was probably the maximum price for the painting. Our experience working with Shannon’s was completely enjoyable and satisfying from start to finish.-Bill, New JerseyApproximately three months ago, I walked into your gallery with a somewhat damaged, soiled painting. Since thattime, I’ve experienced a once in a lifetime journey. Your expertise, honesty, and candor were evident throughoutthis time. I thank you for your guidance and professionalism.-John, ConnecticutThank you for your succinct handling of my five offerings in your April auction. I was more than pleased with the finalfinancial transactions but even more so with the personal warmth (not condescending professional aloofness as evidenced by many auction houses and galleries) and willingness to inform the uninitiated to further appreciationof a genuine treasure.
