About the Item
Ludvic (Egyptian/Canadian, b. 1944)
Portrait of Marilyn Monroe
Oil on paper
30 x 35 inches
Signed lower right
Having been featured in a multitude of museum and gallery exhibitions nationally and internationally, LUDVIC, has been painting the subject of Marilyn Monroe for close to thirty years. An exhibition in 2014 displayed some of LUDVIC’s finest work ever, including early sketches created in his New York City studio in the 1980’s and large-scale oil paintings. The artists’ Marilyn paintings have previously been on view at The Hollywood Museum, CA., during the museum’s Marilyn Monroe exhibits over the past three years. LUDVIC also displayed large canvases adjacent to the Academy Awards venue for four years and a limited edition sweater was produced by St. Croix menswear from one of those paintings.
A former New York City artist, LUDVIC harnesses his unique aesthetic to this body of work. Often painting Marilyn from the same pose, his variations on the theme seem endless with each piece created in the artists’ highly inventive portraiture technique. He employs a variety of techniques to the subject, from works on paper using watercolor, gouache and acrylic, to large-scale canvases, lushly and colorfully painted in oil.

- "Marion Jones Farquhar" Frederick William Macmonnies, Tennis Olympian PortraitBy Frederick William MacMonniesLocated in New York, NYFrederick William Macmonnies Marion Jones Farquhar, 1905-11 Oil on canvas 24 x 20 inches Provenance: William Clerk Private Collection, New York Literature: Mary Smart, A Flight with Fame: The Life and Art of Frederick MacMonnies, with a Catalogue Raisonne of Sculpture and a Checklist of Paintings by E. Adina Gordon, Madison, Connecticut, 1996, no. 90. The work depicts Marion Jones Farquhar who, was an American tennis player who competed during the late 19th century and early 20th century. She won the singles titles at the 1899 and 1902 U.S championships and was the first American woman to medal at the Olympics placing Bronze in singles. Additionally, she was the artist's sister-in-law who often played and competed with MacMonnies in golf and tennis. MacMonnies would often study the movements of her form referenced in his sculpture. When MacMonnies won a doubles golf tournament he said "Marion dragged my dead weight thro' and won us the tournament, showing what great Generalship can do." A sculptor of classical figures, American-born Frederick MacMonnies had fame in the United States and Europe in the later half of the 19th century and early 20th century. He occasionally returned to America but lived most of his life as in expatriate in France. He was especially known for his lithe bronze figures, especially ones titled Diana. The classical names of these figures allowed him the appearance of propriety but gave him the opportunity to model svelte nudes. Frederick MacMonnies was one of the first American sculptors to recognize the potential market of the middle class. He copyrighted his works and then contracted with foundries to mass produce some of his figures such as Diana in smaller sizes. MacMonnies was born in Brooklyn, New York, and was a child prodigy at carving stone. At age 18, he worked in the studio of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and then persuaded him to become his assistant, keeping models damp and covered, running errands, and cleaning the studio. Evenings he studied at the Art Students League, Cooper Union, and the National Academy of Design. In Saint-Gaudens' studio, he met many of the wealthy people who shared Saint-Gaudens Beaux-Arts based ideas that art and architecture should be unified in order to create public art in America equal to that of classical antiquity or Renaissance Europe. Among the men that MacMonnies met through Saint-Gaudens who later furthered his career were architects Stanford White and Charles McKim...Category
