Gunnar Bundgaard
'Cattle at Pasture', Danish Impressionist Landscape oil, Paris, France

1957

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'G. Bundgaard' for Gunnar Bundgaard (Danish, 1920-2005) and dated '57'. A light-filled, panoramic landscape showing Holstein cattle grazing in a grassy field beneath sun-lit clouds. This listed Danish painter first studied at Copenhagen's Gronvang School where he was particularly influenced by the romantic academic style of Niels Pederson Mols of the Royal Danish Academy. Bundgaard subsequently furthered his art studies in Sweden and, later, in France where his palette brightened and his brushwork became looser and more intuitive. Over the course of a long career, he exhibited widely and with success, becoming known through his still-lives and animal paintings and as a "naturalist... in possession of a pure color perception and undoubted skills as a portrait painter" (Vesttjysk Kunstgallerei).

A substantial, Modernist oil showing a mare and foal frolicking in a deep chestnut landscape interspersed with foliage and areas of bright color. Born in Los Angeles, Leon D'Usseau began training under the guidance of his father, who was among the earliest fine-art film directors to work in Hollywood. At the age of twelve, Leon was drawing seriously and, at fifteen, received a working scholarship at Chouinard School of Art where he studied under Merrill Gage and Alexander Archipenko. At this early age, he was also employed by Chouinard to teach a line-drawing class. Adopting the anglicized brush-name of Dusso, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1937-40), the California Palace Legion of Honor (1941), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1942), the Laguna Festival of Arts, Los Angeles Artists Association (1945), the California Watercolor Society (1946) and the Audubon Association (1945).

  • 'Geese on a Lake', Chinese scroll, calligraphy, Sumi-e, Song, Yuan Dynasty
    By Ren Renfa
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Chinese School, 20th century; After Ren Renfa (Qinglongzhen, 1255-1328). Signed center right in Chinese with artist chop mark for 'Yueshan Daoren' 月山道人, brush name for Ren Renfa. (Qinglongzhen [now Qingpu, Songjiang, Shanghai Municipality], b.1255; d. 1328). Chinese painter. Under the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) he became an official, rising to the level of Vice-President of the River Conservation Bureau. He was famous for his paintings of horses, which were much admired by both his Mongol and Chinese patrons. In horse painting he followed in the tradition of the Song-period (960–1279) artist Li Gonglin, which was characterized by use of the ‘iron-wire’ line and a minimum of shading. Ultimately, however, Ren’s style can be traced to the Tang (ad 618–907) painters Yan Liben and Han Gan. Ren’s earliest surviving painting is dated 1280, indicating that he was a mature artist by his mid-twenties. Although he worked as an official under the alien Mongol emperors, he was capable of paintings that incorporated clear political messages. The most famous is Fat and Lean Horses (Beijing, Pal. Mus.), in which, according to his inscription, the fat horse...
