About the Item

After the Bath, Bathing Nude, Woman Drying 'The Red Hand-Towel' by Carl Otto Müller, 1969. Munich School, Impressionist, Dortmund Kunstakademie, Paris ----- Initialed lower left 'C.O.M.' for Carl Otto Müller (German, 1901-1970), and dated '69'. Additionally dated, verso, '1969' and titled, 'Myriam, Das Rote Handtusch'. Displayed in a period, water-gilded frame with linen liner. Size including frame: 12 x 14.5 inches A lyrical oil study of a young woman in an upholstered and carpeted interior, shown drying herself with a red hand-towel. Carl Otto Müller first studied at the Kunstgewerbschule in Munich under Caspar and, subsequently, at the Dortmund Kunstakademie. He later furthered his studies in Paris and Italy and was the subject of many solo-exhibitions including at the Koll-Austellung, (1947), the Stuttgart Kunstkabinett (1952), the Eichstadt Gewerbehalle and Munich’s Stadtgalerie (1955). Over the course of a long and successful career, Müller was the recipient of numerous medals and prizes and juried awards. He is particularly known for his delicate and psychologically-penetrating studies of women painted in a soft, post-Impressionist style reminiscent of Bonnard’s Intimism. We are pleased to offer this dynamic figural study from the artist's mature period. Reference: Vollmer Allgemeines Lexikon der Bildenden Künstler des 20.

'La Taverne Pausset, Paris', Salon d'Automne, Salon des Indépendants, Benezit
By Edouard-Jean Dambourgez
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
'La Taverne Pausset, Paris' by Edouard-Jean Dambourgez. Salon d'Automne, Salon des Indépendants, Benezit ----- Signed lower right, 'Dambourgez' for Edouard-Jean Dambourgez (French, 1844-1931), inscribed, 'Paris' and painted circa 1880. Titled with inscription, verso, on old backing, ''Taverne Pausset', grands boulevards a Paris". A fine and detailed, cabinet-size oil painting showing an elegant Parisian cafe and bar, the interior lit by luminous, floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows and filled with fashionably-dressed patrons drinking and socializing beneath a haze of pipe and cigar smoke. A minor, period masterpiece, providing an animated view of the city's fin-de-siècle nightlife, and characterised by finely observed and fully-realized figures showing an unusual degree of both social commentary and psychological penetration. Edouard-Jean Dambourgez first studied with Jules Lefebvre and, subsequently, as an engraver and chromo-lithographer under Gustave Boulanger. In 1880, Dambourgez commenced exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, and, in 1883, was elected a member of the Society. Throughout the 1880's, he exhibited frequently and with success at the major Paris salons including the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Independants and the Salon des Champs-de-Mars. In 1884, he was commissioned by the Louvre to engrave all illustrations for the catalog to the Thiers Collection, recently bequeathed to the Museum. The recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards, Dambourgez was awarded an honorable distinction by the Salon in 1888, and an honorable mention in 1891. In 1888, the critic Albert Wolff recommended his painting, 'A Cheese Shop', for inclusion at the Salon des Artistes Français. In 1891, the city of Paris bought his large canvas, 'The Cream and Cheese Market...
