- GEORGES CHéNARD-HUCHé (1864-1937):
GEORGES CHéNARD-HUCHé (1864-1937): VILLAGEOil on canvas, 1910, signed 'Chénard-Huché' and dated lower left, titled on a label on the stretcher.
21 1/2 x 29 in., unframed.
Note: This George Chénard-Huché painting, along with the two following lots, has an amazing history of loss and recovery during World War II, as told to us by the original owner's family. The renowned French art dealer Paul Rosenberg and his family managed to escape France during the occupation, making their way through Portugal to the United States. Rosenberg represented Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Henri Matisse and was considered among the world’s greatest dealers of modern art at the time. His art collection, however, did not escape the Nazis who looted the Rosenberg collection, storing a large number of works at the Jeu de Paume in Paris during the war. Paul's son, Alexandre Rosenberg, was not allowed to leave France with his family as he was of conscription age but managed to escape to Britain in 1940 where he joined De Gaulle's Free French Forces. In the summer of 1944, as the Germans fled Paris they loaded a special train, number 40044, with the looted art stored at the museum. After several attempts, the train was eventually stopped at the Aulnay-sous-Bois station north of Paris by a small unit from General Leclerc's Second Armored Division. In an amazing coincidence, the unit was commanded by Lieutenant Alexandre Rosenberg who recognized some of the paintings from his father's collection. This incredible story was loosely adapted in the 1965 movie The Train, which starred Burt Lancaster as a Resistance fighter and hero of the movie. It was the first movie to address the Nazi looting of art during the war and brought important public awareness to the issue.

- ALFRED MAURER "STILL LIFE" (1920S OIL)Alfred
ALFRED MAURER "STILL LIFE" (1920S OIL)Alfred Henry Maurer
(New York, 1868-1932)
Still Life , circa 1920s
Oil on board
18" x 21 1/2"
Signed "A.H. Maurer" to the bottom right. The reverse of the frame has a window displaying the tag of Erhard Weyhe, a New York dealer who represented Maurer beginning in 1924 and arranged annual exhibitions for Maurer until 1931. The glazed frame measures 22" x 25 1/2" x 1 1/4".
Alfred Maurer has been described as "the first American Modernist painter," with his style evolving from Tonalism to Fauvism to Cubism. The son of a commercial lithographer, Maurer studied with William Merritt Chase and John Quincy Adams Ward before moving to Paris in 1897 to attend the Acadamie Julien. There in the heart of the modern art world, Maurer's artistic talent and style fourished and developed, and he created friendships with Gertrude and Leo Stein, Paul Cezanne, and Henri Matisse. He participated in significant modern exhibitions including the 1907 Salon d'Automne and Armory Show of 1913.
This period in his career was abruptly interrupted with the onset of World War I, sending him back to New York, where the American market for modern art had hardly begun. With the hurried repatriation, Maurer lost most of his work; he suddenly found himself critically ignored and thrust into an acutely stressful relationship living with his father, who disdained modern art. Nevertheless, Maurer helped pave the development of American Cubism throughout the 1920s, with colorful abstract compositions of figures and of still life (this painting being from that period). Tragically, his personal and professional frustrations culminated when his father passed away, and he took his own life soon after in 1932. His career and work, though appreciated by his peers, was largely ignored by the American market and critics until later reappraisal.
Condition
Very good condition. The paint layer is not retouched. There is a 1/8" ding at the extreme bottom edge in the center, and there are a few very small bits of detritus caught inside the frame (likely from the frame itself). The frame is from the period, and shows wears commensurate with its age.

RUSSIAN BOOK, STATE MUSEUM OF MODERN WESTERN ARTRussian grand livre, full title on cover, "State Museum of Modern Western Art, Edition by S.A. Abramova, Text by B.N. Ternovets (Boris Nikolaevich Ternovets)". The edition begins with one introductory chapter on the history and creation of the State Museum of Modern Western Art. The rest of the book consists of sheets of colour reproductions of paintings by leading Western artists of the late 19th-early 20th centuries such as: Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, etc. Along with each reproduction there is corresponding text containing information on the artist’s biography, their painting manner and peculiarities of creative expression. The State Museum of Modern Western Art was a Museum in Moscow that was created in 1923. The museum was made up of paintings from the collections of Sergei Schukin and Ivan Morozov. It was shut down in 1948 by Stalin and its works were divided between the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
