About the Item

FRANCOIS CHABRIER “”AU CAFE" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED FRANCE, C.1960 32.5 X 39.5 INCHES Framed 41 x 48 inches. François Chabrier Born 1916 François Chabrier was born in 1916 in Bellizzi en Campanie. His father was French and his mother was Italian. Chabrier’s first paintings were inspired by the nature of the Mediterranean, with its beautiful sunshine and blue sky. At this time he was inspired by the color and styles of Matisse, Dufy and Van Dongon. In Nice he was exposed to the elegant life on Monte Carlo, and his tastes changed. He painted many works depicting the scenes of the Côte d’Azur. Chabrier eventually came to Paris where his experiences took another turn. Paris opened his eyes to the world of artistic freedom blooming in Montparnasse. He attended l’Académie Julian, and the studio of André Lhote. Here he became inspired by the Parisian life notably that of café life where painters musicians and poets gathered together and ideas circulated. It was in this setting where Chabrier met Gromaire whose somber and strong pallet he came to greatly admire. A master of composition he never let his work be driven by the rigidity that sometimes marked the great cubist masters who had influenced him. Chabrier succeeded to introduce curves and movement, a futurist concept, into his scenes of the café or billiards. This almost lyrical type of cubism shows that Chabrier had not left behind his Italian heritage. Chabrier exhibited in the Salon D’Été des Artistes Indépendants de Basse-Normandie (Bayeux) as well as in the Salon d’Automne des Artistes Indépendants de Basse-Normandie (Caen). He exhibited in the Salon d’Hiver in Paris 1946. Chabrier was a member of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles 1948 and 1949. He also exhibited at Terres Latines in 1956, 1957, 1960, and 1963

    ERWIN BINDEWALD (1897-1950) Two men playing draughts, a girl with the red book standing behind them Signed and dated E. Bindewald d.j., 27 Oil on canvas, 140.5 x 90.5 cm In black and gilt gesso frame. Note: Bindewald was born in Charlottenburg. He moved to Berlin in 1914 where he studied till 1924 at the Berliner Kunst Akademie. Bindewald travelled in Europe, but mainly stayed in Germany and certainly never was in China. This painting was made in Europe, presumably in the China Town of Berlin. Bindewald received several commisions in Germany from factory owners who wanted their factories painted inside, usually with workers, as well as outside. In the present painting the sitter on the right seems to be a man with a Manchurian background, wearing the brown coat reserved for the highest aristocracy in China. In China the black sleeve-ends completely cover the hands, indicating that the high aristocracy does not have to do any manuel labour. This man clearly is not a factory worker but he possibly is the (co)- owner of the factory in the background and as such might need his hands to do at least some writing. The man on the left in the modern Western suit...

Edna Crompton was an in-demand and prolific for-hire female illustrator/artist for some of the most prestigious newsstand magazines of the day. She regularly did covers for the Saturday Evening Post, Redbook, Colliers and Judge to name a few. Crompton presents Fannie Hurst - the nation’s highest-paid short story writer and advocates for suffrage and race relations - as a confidently attractive young woman bathed...
