William ZorachWilliam Zorach Oil on Canvas Painting Titled "Kiddie Kar", Dated 19201920
1920
About the Item
Kiddie Kar exemplifies the integration of the primitive aesthetic and the depiction of family in William’s work. The primitive aspect of this particular painting is apparent in its deep, warm palette, its simplified and abstracted depiction of nature, and the slight flattening and upturning of the picture plane. The child featured in this painting is postured in a stiff, disjointed way that reflects the awkward mobility of a child. Her skin, clothes, hair and posture are highly stylized, and composed from a brushy and impastoed, application of color. Her almond shaped eyes are a deep black, recalling the simplified features of early Greek and African sculpture. This painting was preceded and succeeded by several terra cotta and wood-carved sculptures, produced between 1918 and 1923, of William’s daughter on the Kiddie Kar.

William Zorach
Born in 1887, by 1930, he was one of America’s premier 20th century sculptors and was honored with multiple commissions and exhibitions including at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Fine Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and numerous others. He studied in New York City at the National Academy of Design and also in Paris under the mentoring of Jacques-Emile Blanche. It was in Paris in the first decade of the 20th century where Zorach’s path crossed with Marguerite, his soon to be wife. Both Marguerite and William were both represented in the landmark Armory Show of 1913. William continued to paint for the next two decades, but increasingly experimenting with sculpture. By the mid 20’s he was carving significant works in marble and stone. By the early 30’s, he abandoned painting entirely in favor of a new art form, sculpture. I t was in sculpture that Zorach found his true voice as an artist and achieved considerable success. “Sculpture, direct carving, was an expanding universe, a liberation and a natural form of expression to me.” Zorach stated.

By Guy Pène Du Bois
Located in New York, NY
Guy Pène du Bois, 1884 - 1958
French Gardener, 1929
Oil on canvas
Signed and inscribed:
Pere Martin/Guy Pène du Bois/1929
Provenance:
The Estate of Guy Pène du Bois
Below is an excerpt from Guy Péne du Bois diary titled 'Artists Say the Silliest Things':
“Our landlord and gardener, Pere Martin, who owned a considerable amount of land thereabouts, had been a butcher in the Batignolles section of Paris during the war. [WWI]. He was called hard and miserly in the neighborhood, a too shrewd bargainer, but he accepted two francs and hour, then eight cents in our money, to work the garden. He could be shrewd. When Kellogg was signing the peace pact in Paris, a sham battle of aeroplanes clouded the sky above us. Old Pere Martin rested on his hoe and pointed up, shrugging his shoulders with clownish
exaggeration, ‘Monsieur Kellogg.’ It typified the talk on war of the countryside. During the last one he had delivered a magnificent pot au feu...

William Bodfish Oil Painting Titled "The Sister's Visit", Dated 1888
Located in New York, NY
Two figures in 19th century dress sit at a table in a cafe.
Provenance: Private Collection, New Jersey
Originally based in New York City, William Bodfish was a talented artist who gained recognition for his illustrations and cartoons in the late nineteenth century. A painter of genre scenes, he also created detailed illustrations of hunting, whaling and fishing adventures for such magazines as Harper's Weekly. In the years following the Civil War, he traveled to the American West, joining the legion of journalists and illustrators who recorded the development of the new frontier. He was considered by historians to be one of the most “able cartoonists” to tackle the West. During his lifetime, Bodfish exhibited work at the National Academy of Design and the Art Institute of Chicago. Likely created after the artist’s departure from New York, The Sister’s Visit records a quiet moment between two siblings. Seated before a lovely spread of luncheon items, including a bowl of oranges...
