* ERNA HOPPE-KINROSS (GERMAN/BRITISH 1875 - 1964), HARVEST oil on canvas laid on board, signed, titled label versoframed and under glassimage size 22cm x 26cm, overall size 26cm x 29cm Note: Erna Hoppe Kinross was born 17 September 1878, daughter of Louise Adele (nee Vogler) and Karl Theodore Hoppe and grew up in Hamburg. She specialised in figurative works and townscapes, exhibiting her work throughout the decade 1910-20, being recorded in Paris from 1906-1914. There she met Charles Kinross and they were married in 1906. By then she was an established artist who had exhibited at the Salon, Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts. At their holiday home in Giverny they met and became friends with the Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Some of the pictures that Erna painted before marrying were later amended and “Kinross” added – so the date of the paintings might be correct despite having “Erna Hoppe-Kinross” as the signature. The Kinross’s moved to England in 1915 where Charles’s business was based. One of her paintings was published in English Colour Magazine 1919 Vol II No. 4, but the subject (“Orchard Girl”) was clearly based on a French scene. An exhibition was held in Hastings sometime in the late 50’s or early 60’s at which a number of her remaining paintings were sold. She died on 31 March 1964.

Robert Delaunay, Paysage BretonÖl auf Leinwand, doubliert. 49 x 59,5 cm. Gerahmt. Unbezeichnet. - Mit schwacher konkaver Wölbung in der linken Bildmitte, sonst in gutem Zustand.Mit einer Foto-Expertise von Jean Louis Delaunay vom 9.

Juni 2010; Christie's, New York, Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, 9. Mai 2013, Lot 223; Privatbesitz HessenLiteraturVgl. Gustav Vriesen/Max Imdahl, Robert Delaunay - Licht und Farbe, Köln 1967Aus großbürgerlich, aristokratischer Familie stammend, wuchs Robert Delaunay erst in Paris, aber seit früher Jugend bei Verwandten auf dem Land, in La Ronchère, auf. Dort hatte er "reichlich Zeit und Gelegenheit, im Freien herumzustreifen [...]; diesse direkte Verbindung mit der Natur, dem Landleben und auch den Landleuten stand im glücklichen Einklang mit seinen Neigungen." (Vriesen/Imdahl, op. cit. S. 14). Ab 1902 absolviert Delaunay eine Lehre im Dekorationsatelier Ronsin in Belleville. Erste impressionistische Landschaften entstehen in der Bretagne 1903 bis 1905."Es ist gut denkbar, daß die Impressionisten-Ausstellung bei Bernheim-Jeune 1903 oder eine der Monet-Ausstellungen der Galerie Durand-Ruel um die Jahrhundertwende dem jungen Delaunay Eindrücke vermittelt haben, die ihm vor Augen blieben." (Vriesen/Imdahl, op. cit. S. 16). Ab 1904 finden seine Gemälde selbst Aufnahme in Ausstellungen im Salon d’Automne und im Salon des Indépendants.Der Kontakt zu den Künstlern von Pont-Aven ist auch in unserem Landschaftsgemälde mit Bretonin in der typischen Haube vor ihren Tieren deutlich. In noch dem Neo-Impressionismus verhaftteten Farbtupfen verdichtet sich die Malweise zu einem kompakten Bildraum. Die hinter dem Horizont erscheinenden Wolken bringen in aller Ruhe Bewegung in die Szenerie.Die vorliegende Landschaft ist eines der wenigen erhaltenen Gemälde aus der frühen Werkphase Robert Delaunays, dessen orphistische, bildzersplitternden Motive ihn später zu einem der größten Vertreter der französischen Moderne machen sollten.

Ludolfs Liberts, an outstanding Latvian painter and stage designer, masterfully conveys the atmosphere of Paris in his work The Seine Embankment in Paris. The canvas is executed in the impressionist style, where every stroke of the brush reflects the vivid sensation of light and air so characteristic of this movement. In the foreground are bridges crossing the calm waters of the Seine, their smooth arches creating an elegant rhythm, smoothly directing the viewer`s gaze into the depths of the composition. On the river, ships are visible, slowly floating past, their dark silhouettes contrasting with the soft, blurred outlines of the city panorama. In the distance, among the chaotic scattering of roofs, the dome of the Pantheon rises majestically, and in the left part of the composition, the characteristic towers of Notre Dame Cathedral can be discerned. These architectural dominants create a recognizable image of the capital of France, filling the canvas with poetic melancholy. The painting demonstrates the artist’s exceptional sense of color and composition, attention to detail and ability to convey the emotional state of the moment. Signed by the artist in the lower left corner, this work is a striking example of Lieberts’ creative legacy and is evidence of his deep penetration into the atmosphere of the city, which inspired many masters. Cardboard, oil. Dimensions: 49.5 × 59.5 cm Provenance: Private American collection Width: 75cm, Height: 70cm, Depth: 8cm, Weight: 2kg, Condition: Good, Material: Oil on cardboard, ID: ID-ANTQ-11588
Ludolfs Liberts, an outstanding Latvian artist and stage designer, masterfully conveys the unique atmosphere of Paris in his work Embankment of the Seine in Paris. Painted in an impressionist manner, the painting is filled with light and air, conveying a vivid sense of lightness and ephemerality. In the foreground is a bridge over the Seine, along the banks of which brightly lit barges rest. Their warm, rich tones create a contrast with the cool tones of the water and sky, attracting the viewer`s attention. The composition of the work is skillfully balanced. The movement of the carriages on the bridge adds dynamics, while the majestic silhouette of Notre Dame Cathedral and the slender spires of churches in the background lend the landscape poetic calm and eternity. These architectural landmarks serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the French capital, highlighting the characteristic silhouette of the city. The painting demonstrates the artist’s brilliant mastery of color palette and compositional techniques, attention to detail and the ability to convey the emotional state of a fleeting moment. Signed by the artist in the lower right corner, this work is a fine example of Lieberts’ creative legacy. It testifies to his ability to deeply penetrate the atmosphere of the city that has inspired artists for centuries. Cardboard, oil.

Ritratto e fisiognomica da Leonardo a Bacon (mit Keilrahmenaufkleber,"Ritratto di Speedy"), S. 509 mit Abb.LiteraturVgl. Ausst. Kat. Rudolf Schlichter, Tübingen/Wuppertal/München 1997/1998 (Kunsthalle/Von der Heydt-Museum/Lenbachhaus); Ausst. Kat. Rudolf Schlichter. Eros und Apokalypse, Koblenz/Halle (Saale) 2016 (Mittelrhein Museum/Kunstverein Talstrasse)Prominent und großansichtig ist das Porträt von Schlichters Ehefrau Speedy an den vorderen Bildrand gesetzt, den Blick suggestiv auf den Betrachter gerichtet.Frisur, Schmuck und Kleidung sind minutiös beschrieben und vermitteln eine Form von Übernatürlichkeit. Denn der Hintergrund ist in einer Art Weltenlandschaft bevölkert von surrealen Traumgebilden in Eisblau – ein Farbton, der sich in Speedys Augen spiegelt, als entsprängen sie den Gedanken der Dargestellten. Ist dieses halbfigurige Porträtformat schon in den 1930er Jahren üblich - wie etwa bei seinem Selbstbildnis, einem Porträt von Ernst Jünger und auch von Speedy -, ist die Kombination von Verismus und Surrealismus eine neues Konzept der Nachkriegszeit (vgl. Ausst. Kat. Tübingen/Wuppertal/München 1997/1998, op. cit., Kat. Nrn. 149, 150, 153).In unserem Porträt hält Speedy liebkosend in schützendem Gestus ihre langhaarige Katze Bouille-Bouille. Deren weiches Fell steht in Kontrast zu der harten, präzisen Schilderung von Speedys Zügen. Daraus zieht die Darstellung ihre erotisch aufgeladene Spannung – hier stählerne Härte, dort wuscheliges, taktil reizvolles Tierhaar. Doch die tierische Niedlichkeit mag täuschen, denn gerade Katzen sind bekannt für ihre unabhängige Unberechenbarkeit und sibyllinische Aura. So oszilliert dieses Bildnis zwischen vertrauter Nähe und kühler, eindringlicher Unnahbarkeit und sorgt für Irritation des Betrachters. Die Bildidee scheint Schlichter gefallen zu haben, hat er sie doch 1954 in einer allerdings schwächeren Komposition als Papierarbeit wiederholt (vgl. Ausst. Kat. Koblenz/Halle 2016, Kat. Nr. 81).Rudolf Schlichter, dessen erotische Obsessionen bekannt sind, zeigt sich auch in unserem Bildnis "Speedy Schlichter" als Meister der Neuen Sachlichkeit mit einem Faible für das Absurde.

JOSEF BARTA (Czech / Bohemian 1864 - 1919) - Summer landscape | technique: oil on cardboard | 51 x 66 cm | signature: bottom right | framed | Lot description | This painting by Josef Barta, a student of the famous Czech landscape painter Julio Marak, is a beautiful example of Czech impressionist landscape painting. Here, Barta uses light, quick brushstrokes and a soft, light palette of colors to capture the atmosphere of a summer day in the Czech countryside. His sensitive rendering of the landscape reveals the influence of Marak's school, where emphasis was placed on detailed work with nature and its light. The composition of the picture with a wide horizon and diffused light evokes a feeling of infinite space and harmony. Barta, like his teacher, focused on the beauty of Czech nature, but added a modern impressionistic touch to his work, emphasizing the transience of the moment and capturing the light changes of the landscape. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
JIRI HERMAN (Czech / Bohemian 1892 - 1969) - From Vysocina | 1923 | technique: oil on cardboard | 32 x 40 cm | signature: bottom right | framed under glass | Lot description | Jiri Herman (1892-1969) was one of the Czech landscape painters who were significantly influenced by Antonin Slavicek, who shaped Czech landscape painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The work from 1923, which depicts a vast landscape with windswept trees under a dramatic sky, bears traces of Slavick's handwriting in the dynamic rendering of nature and in the painter's interest in atmospheric conditions. Here, Herman works with free brushstrokes and a distinct color range, thus continuing the impressionist technique of Antonin Slavicek. The composition of the work shows an emphasis on the immediate impression of the landscape, which Herman was able to transfer to the canvas with extraordinary liveliness and energy. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
ZDENKA BRAUNEROVA (Czech / Bohemian 1858 - 1934) - Willows | technique: oil on canvas adjusted to cardboard | 20 x 25 cm | signature: bottom left | framed | Lot description | The oil painting, depicting a landscape with willows and a wooden fence, is a typical example of the work of Zdenka Braunerova (1858-1934), one of the important figures of the Czech painting scene at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Braunerova became famous not only as a painter, but also as a graphic artist, writer and cultural organizer. Fascination with the landscape of the Czech countryside is prominent in her work, which is also reflected in this work. The painting Willows depicts a typical motif of willows in Czech villages, whose fragile yet expressive form works in harmony with the natural environment. The light that shines through the leaves and underlines the subtle shades of green testifies to the author's masterful mastery of plein air painting and her sensitive approach to nature.

His work "Landscape with Water Lilies" shows strong inspiration from French landscape painting, especially the work of Claude Monet, whose influence is evident both in the motif and in the technique itself. Radimsky, like Monet, captures the atmosphere of natural scenery using subtle color tones and an emphasis on lighting conditions. Analogous to Monet's "Water Lilies", in this painting too, Radimsky excels in capturing the play of light on the water surface and in rendering the fluidity and translucence of the water. This painting, unlike the direct copying of motifs, reflects the painter's unique approach and his ability to combine Eastern European painting tradition with modern impressionist principles. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
FRANTISEK LIBAL (Czech / Bohemian 1896 - 1974) - View from the Tyn Church (large format) | 1921 | technique: oil on canvas | 100 x 100 cm | signature: bottom left | framed | Lot description | In his work, Frantisek Libal, an important Czech painter and landscape artist, presents a view from the Tyn Church to the Old Town Square. This Impressionist painting bears clear traces of the influence of Claude Monet, especially his famous cityscapes. Here, Libal masterfully works with atmosphere and light, creating a whimsical, almost dreamlike view of Prague with the help of soft brushstrokes and blurred contours. Architectural elements are rendered with an emphasis on light and shadow, creating the characteristic Impressionist illusion of a fleeting moment. The work not only celebrates Prague's architecture, but with its poetic conception reminds Monet and his fascination with city panoramas. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
