It shows Luce at the height of his mastery of luminous impressionistic landscapes, no doubt as deeply affected by the beauty of the countryside as Pissarro, who made Eragny his home until his death in 1903.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.

HENRI MARTIN (FRENCH 1860-1943)Boy with a Sailboat, circa 1932-1935oil on panel45 x 38 cm (17 3/4 x 15 in.)signed lower rightPROVENANCEPurchased from Chaite Gallery, Paris, 1950Private collection, New YorkWe are grateful to the Musee de Cahors Henri-Martin for assistance in cataloging this lot.LOT NOTESThe present lot was created in the early 1930s, when Henri Martin began to lean towards pointillism in his painting style. The painting depicts a boy who is preparing to launch his sailboat on the water of pond on a beautiful sunny afternoon. The subject, as well, as the manner of painting, point out at the decoration of the staircase of the building of the City hall of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. In 1932 the administration of the City hall commissioned Henri Martin to create a group of panels to complete the walls of the rotunda staircase on the first floor of the building. As the subject matter for this decoration, the artist chose the Luxembourg Garden and its pond. It is very likely that the present lot was a study for one of the characters (see attached reference image). The composition comprises of five panels, three of which depict the pond with children racing their toy sailboats, and the other two show shaded walkways on the sides. The work was completed in 1935 and still remains today at its original location.PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.

MARC CHAGALL (RUSSIAN 1887-1985)Jacob leaves his country with his family to visit Egypt [Jacob quitte son pays avec sa famille], 1931-1939 or 1952-1956hand-colored etching41.5 x 32.5 cm (16 1/8 x 12 3/4 in.)signed in plate Chagall lower left; initialed in the margin lower right M. Ch, numbered 62/100 lower leftPROVENANCEFindlay Galleries, Palm Beach, FLLOT NOTES“I did not see the Bible, I dreamed it. ...It has always seemed to me and still seems today the greatest source of poetry of all time.” --Marc ChagallUpon being commissioned by Ambrose Vollard to illustrate the Old Testament, Chagall took a trip to the Holy Land, where he allowed himself to be immersed in the history of his ancestors, and gathered inspiration for this monumental project. Between 1931 and 1939, Chagall executed 66 of the full cycle of 105 plates, with a halt brought on by the death of Vollard and the advent of WWII. It was not until 1952 that he returned to the series, completing the remainder by 1956, when they were published by Teriade. A number of the works, the present lot among them, were hand-painted by the artist with his characteristic, bright splashes of color. Picasso once reportedly told Francoise Gilot: “When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color is... His canvases are really painted, not just tossed together. Some of the last things he`s done... convince me that there`s never been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has.”PLEASE NOTEIf you will be bidding live on auction day, please note that Session I of the Auction (Asian and Russian Fine & Decorative Art), starts at 10:00 AM New York Time and goes from Lot 1 through Lot 254.
