Born in Stockholm in 1920 to a distinguished family of goldsmiths who had supplied the Russian tsars and the Swedish royal family for three generations, Gustav Bolin was taken to France the following year, where he would remain for the rest of his life. At the age of 18, he began working in the Paris studio of Othon Friesz, but that experience was soon interrupted by the Nazi occupation in 1940. Bolin sought refuge in the south of France, where he befriended the artists André Lhote, Alexandre Garbell, Pierre Tal-Coat and Charles Rollier, with whom he exhibited at the Musée de Valence. In 1943, before returning to Paris, he made a pilgrimage through Provence in the footsteps of Cezanne and Van Gogh. The landscapes of this region would serve as his lifelong muse, inspiring the whimsical, abstract landscapes for which he became widely acclaimed.
Following Paris’ liberation by the Allies, Bolin returned to the city and immersed himself in the artistic milieu around the Café Dôme, becoming good friends with Alberto Giacometti and Nicolas de Staël. His first post-war exhibitions began in 1947 at the Salon de Mai, followed by a solo show at the avant-garde Galerie Pierre Loeb in 1948. He became a frequent exhibitor at the Galerie Art Vivant, showing with contemporaries such as de Staël, Tal-Coat, Joan Miró, Jacques Germain, and André Lanskoy, on several occasions between 1950 and 1957. This early commercial success afforded him the opportunity to purchase property along the coast in Antibes, where he could work in the Mediterranean landscape he loved.
Bolin continued to participate in the Salon de Mai, and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, cementing his reputation as an evocative colorist. In 1960, 61, and 63, he was invited by the Galerie Charpentier to participate in the “Ecole de Paris” exhibitions; and at Galerie Kriegel between 1962 and 1969. Beginning in 1963, Bolin enjoyed further prominence by accepting invitations to exhibit in the U.S. with the David Findlay Gallery in New York, and also in Japan at the Nichido Gallery in Tokyo. In 1973, he was awarded a major exhibition at the Musée Galliera in back home in Paris. Bolin would continue to show widely and steadily over the remainder of his life, including a number of exhibitions in his native Sweden. Bolin died in Antibes in 1999.
Today, Bolin’s work can be found in many public collections including the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, the Museum of Luxembourg, the Swedish Embassy (Paris), and the Department des Arts et des Lettres.

Gustav Bolin
Gustav Bolin studied in Paris with Emile Othon Friesz at L’Académie de la Grande Chaumière. During the first years of the war, he lived in Antibes in the South of France. During this period, landscapes were his greatest source of inspiration, and he made a close study of the work of Paul Cézanne. Returning to Paris in 1943, he worked in the studio of Pierre Tal-Coat and frequented the Café de Flore, where he kept company with members of the first generation of the School of Paris, including Picasso, Nicolas de Staëll and Diego Giacometti. At this time, he painted numerous portraits of his family, friends and the artistic characters of Montmartre. The artist held his first solo exhibition at the Pierre Loeb Gallery in 1948, gaining immediate recognition from both critics and the public. The recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards, Bolin exhibited with success internationally including in Stockholm, New York and Tokyo. His work may be found in the permanent collections of national museums including the Muséed'Art Moderne, Paris. In 2006, Paris honored him with a retrospective of his work at the Salon of Tapestries and at the exhibition hall of the Louvre des Antiquaires. Bolin is listed in all relevant reference works including Benezit Dictionary of Artists, which lists a comprehensive biography that includes a signature sample.

Provenance
Estate of Beatrice Mandelman
203 Fine Art, Taos, NM
A certificate of authenticity issued by the Mandelman Ribak Collection at the University of New Mexico Foundation will be provided with this work.
Beatrice Mandelman was born on December 31, 1912 in Newark, New Jersey. At age 12, she began taking classes at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, subsequently attending Rutgers University, the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, and the Art Students League in New York.
In 1935, Mandelman was employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), first as a muralist and then as a printmaker with the Graphic Division of the New York Project. One of the original members of the Silk Screen Unit under Anthony Velonis, she worked until the disbandment of the WPA in 1942. During this period, she was associated with numerous New York School artists including Louis Lozowick, Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, and Stuart Davis.
Mandelman married fellow artist Louis Ribak in 1942, and two years later they traveled to Santa Fe, NM to visit his teacher and mentor, the artist John Sloan. Finding Santa Fe congested, they took the train along the Rio Grande and a stagecoach up to Taos and decided to settle there. An impulsive and inspired move, it was a decision that would effectively remove them from mainstream art involvement, for which Santa Fe had become an important outpost in the west. While Taos was a well-known within the art community, there were no galleries exhibiting modern art. This changed later in the decade, with an influx of new artists arriving from New York and California. Some of these artists would come to be known collectively as the “Taos Moderns...
