About the Item

Jaroslav Hněvkovský (1884-1956) Czechoslovakian India oil on canvas framed 71.5 X 62cm, image 58.5 x 48.5 cm c 1920 Signed and titled India, bottom left Provenance private UK collection. Restoration work by Stuart Sanderson, London (report available) Exhibited Grosvenor Gallery, London An important, rediscovered work by Jaroslav Hněvkovský. Jaroslav Hněvkovský, celebrated as the Slavic Gauguin, travelled to Sri Lanka in 1909 with Otakar Nejedlý. Their stay there was difficult and they found it hard to integrate themselves with the local patrons. They stayed for a number of months before relocating to Kerala where again they faced financial difficulties and at times lived with the tribals in huts in the forests of Kerala. Hněvkovský returned to Europe in 1913 and after the war staged an exhibition in London in 1921 titled ‘Paintings from the Jungle’. During the exhibition he met Rabindranath Tagore and was invited by him to teach at Shantiniketan, a position which he accepts in 1922, spending the summer months there. The painting is in its original frame. Oil paintings of India from this early post-impressionist, modern period are rare.

  • India Calcutta Company School Painting Hooghly Indian Artist after Sita Ram
    Located in Norfolk, GB
    Company School C 1820 Watercolour on Paper Image Size: 31 x 47 cm Frame Size: 49.5 x 65 cm Label Verso Abbott & Holder, London A fabulous and intriguing early, large watercolour, by an Indian artist. This painting warrants further research. The image shows European buildings on what appears to be the banks of The Hooghly River in Eastern India (Bengal). This was an area favoured and painted by early landscape artists as the Europeans were active along the river which was the prime route for the movement of goods and people. Without the group of figures to the foreground this painting could have been painted by Sita Ram or one the artists travelling with him (seen in the overall perspective and the rendition of the buildings, the boats in the water...

  • Printemps
    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...
