Description
FRANK BURTY HAVILAND (Limoges, 1886 - Perpignan, 1971).
"Mansion" and "Houses of Ceret".
Oil on canvas, painted on both sides.
Signed in the lower right corner.
Measurements: 50 x 61 cm.
This canvas, painted on both sides, shows places close to the place where Frank Burty lived and contributed to turn it into a neuralgic centre of cubist creation: we can recognise the typical houses of Ceret in one of the paintings. These works probably date from an advanced stage in Burty's life, when he had already moved away from avant-garde work and returned to a more traditional and intimate figurative style. Frank Burty was a French Cubist painter, a friend of Picasso and Braque, and one of the first collectors of African art. He was the grandson of Philippe Burty, the collector and art critic who coined the term "Japonisme". His brother, Paul Haviland, was a photographer and writer. Burty studied music with Ricardo Viñes, through whom he met De Séverac and Manolo Hugué, who in turn introduced him to the group of Cubist painters in Paris. In 1910 Burty went to the south of France with Manolo and De Séverac and bought a monastery in Céret, in the French Pyrenees, which became the centre of the so-called Céret School until 1914. Some of the most important painters of the time took part in it, including Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Georges Braque, Max Jacob and Auguste Herbin. Burty was portrayed by Amedeo Modigliani in 1914, and is probably also the model in Juan Gris's The Smoker of 1913. His bust was also immortalised by his friend Manolo Hugué. In April 1914 he had a solo exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's gallery 291. In 1915, his work was included in the first exhibition at Marius de Zayas's Modern Gallery in New York, along with works by Picasso, Braque, de Zayas, Francis Picabia and others. His work was also included in exhibitions at that gallery in the following years. In November 1917 Burty had a solo exhibition at the Dalmau Galleries in Barcelona and in 1921 at the Brummer Gallery in New York. His later style was more classical, moving away from the Cubism of his early years. Burty lived most of his life in Céret and was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the Céret Museum of Modern Art in 1950, which he helped to acquire 14 works by Henri Matisse and more than 50 works by Picasso. He was curator of the museum from 1957 to 1961. When the museum acquired Burty's archive, which included 83 paintings and more than 700 drawings, in 2008, it organised a retrospective exhibition on him from 5 December 2009 to 30 May 2010.
