Luis Graner y Arrufi
Luis Graner y Arrufi (Spanish/American 1863-1929 active New Orleans c. 1914-22) "Mistick Krewe of Comus Parade at Night" 1917 oil on canvas signed inscribed and dated "N.O. February 20 1917" lower left 23 3/4 in. x 29 3/4 in. attractively framed. Note: A native of Barcelona Spain Luis Graner y Arrufi studied art in his hometown and in Paris where he exhibited at the Salon. He came to America in 1910 and spent the winters in New Orleans from 1914 to 1922. Already internationally known and exhibited Graner earned acclaim for his landscapes of the Louisiana countryside. Graner excelled at depicting nocturnal scenes a fine example of which is offered here. This exceedingly rare painting of a New Orleans French Quarter Carnival parade depicts the Mistick Krewe of Comus on Mardi Gras night February 20 1917. Organized in 1856 Comus is the oldest Carnival krewe currently in existence in New Orleans. The 1917 theme of the Mistick Krewe of Comus' tableau and parade was "Romantic Legends". The Queen of Comus was Elise Mason Smith and the maids were Marcelle Grima Lise Perrilliat Veva Penick and Mildred Bobb. As remains custom today the identity of Comus was secret. Comprising twenty floats float 15 was "The Dragon of Wantley " which appears to be depicted on the right side of this composition aglow with the light cast from the flambeaux. Graner creates a dramatic impressionistic scene: costumed and masked revelers dance in the foreground while throngs watch the majestic parade. Early paintings of Carnival parades are practically unknown; a specifically dated work which allows identification of its krewe and tableau is exceptionally rare and likely unique among Louisiana paintings. As Henri Schindler poetically writes in his book Mardi Gras: New Orleans (Flammarion 1997): The Mistick Krewe introduced spectacle to the streets of New Orleans and Carnival was forever changed. Comus would not only reappear every Mardi Gras night he would do so amid the flames and smoking flares of moving theater and each year he would present new visions to astonish a population long nourished on masquerades parades and stagecraft. With the advent of the Mistick Krewe of Comus the festivities of Mardi Gras were ended with public ceremony of pomp and bombast with mystery artistry and splendor. (p. 35.)
