MANE-KATZ RABBIS, c. 1935 Oil on canvas 18 H. x 14 W. 1/2 in. (45.5 x 35.8 cm.) Signed PROVENANCE Dominion Gallery, Montreal Christies, New York, November 04, 1982. Lot 177: $11,000 Private Collection, New Jersey, 1982-2021 Estate of the above, 2021. Raised in an orthodox Jewish family in Russia, Mane-Katz was born in the Ukraine and became an early 20th-century artist, known especially for portraits and paintings with Jewish themes. From childhood, he had been influenced by stories of Jewish mysticism, which was reflected in his paintings. He had a peripatetic life between Russia, France, Israel, and America. He first studied art in Kiev at the Beaux Arts Academy, and in 1913, went to Paris where he associated with Chaim Soutine and Marc Chagall and continued his art studies there at the Beaux Arts Academy. During World War I, he tried to join the Foreign Legion but was rejected because he was too short. He went back in Russia again, this time joining the Soviet Revolution but rejected the cause because he was so horrified by Josef Stalin. He worked briefly for the Russian ballets, and in 1921, he returned to Paris where in 1927 he took French citizenship. For the next twelve years, he traveled widely, showing his art work and doing many paintings. In 1939, as World War II was breaking out, he was drafted by the French and then was taken prisoner by the Germans. He escaped and went to the United States and remained there until 1945, exhibiting his paintings at Katia Granoff Gallery and Wildenstein Gallery. After the war, he returned to Paris where he had exhibited in the Salons. In Paris to the end of his career, he worked happily, painting hundreds of portraits of rabbis...

Fauvist Female Nude in Mediterranean Interior, Spanish Modernist Figurative Painting Description Artist: Jordi Curós Ventura (Spanish, 1930–2017) Title: Seated Woman in an Interior Date: Circa 1980 Medium: Acrylic on canvas-covered cardboard. Dimensions: 55 × 46 cm / 21.65 × 18.11 in Signature: Signed by the artist, lower right Style: Fauvism, Modernism, Expressionist Figurative Art Period: Late 20th Century Condition: Good vintage condition Framed: No Original figurative painting by renowned Catalan artist Jordi Curós Ventura, depicting an elegant, partially nude woman seated in a colorful Mediterranean interior. The composition captures a moment of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The female figure, dressed in a loosely draped striped garment, sits beside a table adorned with flowers and a glass of red wine. Her crossed legs, relaxed posture and delicate facial features create an atmosphere of effortless sensuality. Curós combines expressive black outlines, simplified anatomical forms and a vibrant palette of burnt orange, turquoise blue, golden yellow and warm terracotta. The patterned tablecloth, floral arrangement and architectural background contribute to the painting's lively decorative character. Particularly appealing is the contrast between the figure's pale skin and the richly saturated surrounding colors, creating a composition that feels both intimate and visually striking. Born in Olot, Catalonia, Jordi Curós became an important representative of postwar Spanish painting. He studied at the Olot School of Arts and Crafts and developed an international exhibition career, participating in major artistic events including the Hispano-American Biennials. His work evolved from early figuration through abstraction and Informalism before returning to a distinctive figurative language characterized by expressive drawing, Mediterranean light and confident color. Curós exhibited extensively in Barcelona, including at the prestigious Sala Parés, and received scholarships to study in Paris, where he encountered the artistic developments of European modernism. This original painting offers collectors an engaging example of late 20th-century Spanish modernist art, particularly attractive to admirers of colorful figurative compositions, female portraiture and Mediterranean interiors. Artistic Inspiration The painting reflects the expressive freedom of French Fauvism and the decorative sensibility of European modernism. Its bold chromatic contrasts, simplified female figure and intimate domestic setting evoke the artistic atmosphere associated with Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and the wider tradition of modern Mediterranean painting. The relationship between the seated woman, patterned textiles, flowers and architectural surroundings recalls the decorative interiors of Matisse, while the spontaneous brushwork and rhythmic black contours reinforce Curós's individual pictorial identity. The composition balances feminine sensuality with expressive color, transforming an everyday interior into a celebration of Mediterranean light and modern figurative painting.
