About the Item

*THIS PRICE INCLUDES 5% IMPORT DUTY APPLICABLE IF THE WORK REMAINS IN THE UK ONLY. Bords du Loing by Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) Oil on canvas 46.1 x 55.7 cm (18¹/₈ x 21⁷/₈ inches) Signed and dated lower left, Sisley 90 This work is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Comité Sisley and will be included in the new edition of the catalogue raisonné of Alfred Sisley by François Daulte. Alfred Sisley was born in 1839 in Paris but moved to London in 1857 where he became fascinated by the works of Constable and Turner. In Paris Sisley trained alongside Monet and Renoir, meeting to discuss the Impressionist style at the Café Guerbois. In 1874, he showcased his work at the first independent Impressionist exhibition and is consequently considered one of the founder members of Impressionism. Bords du Loing was executed in 1890, while Sisley was living in Moret-sur-Loing. His local landscape was a constant source of inspiration and he continued to depict the banks of the Loing throughout the 1880s and 1890s. He was so inspired by the local scenery that in 1882, he wrote to Monet urging him to join him there. Many of Sisley’s most famous works were executed while living in Moret-sur-Loing, including Street in Moret, The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing and Allée des Peupliers de Moret. The Loing, in particular, was a favourite subject of Sisley’s, as Richard Shone observed: “Sisley seemed unable for long to resist painting works in which there was water to offer its reflections, and river-banks to provide constantly changing activities. He was indefatigable in his exploration of the Loing.” Provenance: Galerie Georges Petit, Paris Christie's, New York, 19th November 1986 Mr & Mrs Edward Snider, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, by whom acquired at the above Sotheby's, New York, 9th May 1989 Walter J Johnson, New York, by whom acquired at the above sale; his estate sale, Christie's, New York, 15th May 1997 Private collection, acquired at the above Literature: M Gauthier, Hommage à Sisley, L'Art Vivant, March, March 1933, pp. 116-117 (illustrated p. 177) G Besson, Sisley, Paris, 1946, p. 56 (illustrated) François Daulte, Alfred Sisley, Catalogue Raisonné de L'Œuvre Peint, Lausanne, 1959, no. 727 (illustrated) Exhibition: Paris, Galerie d'Art Braun & Cie., Sisley, 30th January - 18th February 1933, no. 30 New York, William Beadleston Inc.

    By Charles Levier
    Located in Costa Mesa, CA
    A beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...
