This lovely impressionist painting portrays what appears to be a family outing or picnic. There are many beautifully dressed women with their children in a park setting. Oddly, what appears to be missing are men, or their husbands. Perhaps it’s a women’s organization that included their young children. The scene must depict late spring or summer, given the foliage and their beautiful dresses. The colors are bright and cheerful and the late impressionist style is clearly evident. The artist appears to have signed the painting lower left, but it is very difficult to completely decipher. The date, 1925, seems to be clearer. All in all, this work is a one-of-a-kind period painting that will enhance any sophisticated room or setting. The frame is a soft lemon gold period cove frame that may be just a bit older than the work by about 10 years. This work has been recently professionally repaired, cleaned and varnished. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition. There are a few professional repairs to the canvas, only visible from the patches shown on the backside. The frame has a few minor blemishes here and there, expected with its age. The canvas measures 18” x 22” and the overall framed dimensions are 24 1/2” x 28 1/2”. Visible on the reverse side is a vintage label that reads “Art...

Will Foote View of Arizona Desert near Wickenberg, circa 1927 Signed lower center; titled and dated on the reverse Oil on artist's board 12 x 16 inches Foote was born on June 29, 1874 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and died on January 27, 1965, in Sarasota, Florida. He was in Old Lyme, 1901-65; and in Cos Cob, 1903. Will Howe Foote was one of the earliest artists at Old Lyme and one who adopted the town as home. He first went there the summer of 1901 with his uncle, William H. Howe, a painter of cattle, who had been told about the beauties of the countryside by Henry Ward Ranger. Foote had himself heard of Old Lyme when he had met Clark Voorhees in France. He and his uncle were both from Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Foote's father was an executive in the furniture industry that made the city famous. Encouraged to be an artist by his father, he began his professional training at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1894. He became friends there with a fellow Michigan student, Frederick Frieseke, who would study with him again at the Art Students League in New York, where Foote worked in 1895-96 under H. Siddons Mowbray and Kenyon Cox. In 1897 he and Frieseke went to the Academic Julian in Paris, where Foote studied under Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. He was at Julian's until 1900, except for an Italian trip, summers at Laren, Holland, or Etaples, France, and a short period at Whistler's school in Paris. He exhibited twice at the Old Salon, and when he returned to the United States in 1900, he had a one-man exhibition in his hometown. Will Howe Foote's paintings were well received on his return from abroad. He exhibited frequently at the National Academy of Design and became an associate member in 1910. His awards included a bronze medal at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904 and a silver medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. Once he visited Old Lyme, Foote returned every summer. In 1902 he was hired as assistant to Frank DuMond at the Lyme Summer School of Art, which was sponsored by the Art Students League of New York. Sometime in 1903 he also taught a session in Cos Cob. After 1906, when the League moved its Lyme classes to Woodstock, New York, Foote continued in Old Lyme as a private instructor. In 1907 he was married to Helen Kirtland Freeman, whom he had met a year or two earlier when she had come to the Lyme art colony as a student of Henry Rankin Poore. Fellow artist William Chadwick was best man at the wedding. The Footes began building a house on Sill Lane in Old Lyme and upon its completion in 1909 spent every spring, summer and fall there, where Foote devoted full time to painting. The Gregory Smiths, old friends from Grand Rapids, arrived in Old Lyme in 1910 and became neighbors. Foote's early works in Connecticut, such as A Summer's Night reflect the artist's interest in soft, atmospheric scenes dominated by a single, overriding tone. The arrival of Childe Hassam and Walter Griffin...

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Nature morte sur un gueridon (Still Life on a Pedestal Table), from the album L'Art Cubiste, Theories et Realisations, Etude Critique (Cubist Art, Theories and Achievements, Critical Study), originates from the 1929 edition published by Editions Charles Moreau, Paris, and printed by Atelier Daniel Jacomet, Paris, May 1929. Nature morte sur un gueridon (Still Life on a Pedestal Table) captures Picasso’s mastery of Cubist structure and his revolutionary reimagining of visual perception. The composition deconstructs the still life into interlocking planes of form and color, juxtaposing bottles, glasses, and fruit with rhythmic abstraction. Through his fragmented geometry, Picasso transforms a familiar tabletop scene into a meditation on space and perception, fusing intellect and emotion in perfect equilibrium. The work stands as a testament to Picasso’s collaboration with master printer Daniel Jacomet, whose meticulous pochoir technique preserved the artist’s tonal subtleties and chromatic richness with unparalleled precision. Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin paper, this work measures 8.27 x 10.83 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of Atelier Daniel Jacomet, Paris, under the direction of Editions Charles Moreau, Paris. Artwork Details: Artist: After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) Title: Nature morte sur un gueridon (Still Life on a Pedestal Table), from the album L'Art Cubiste, Theories et Realisations, Etude Critique (Cubist Art, Theories and Achievements, Critical Study), 1929 Medium: Lithograph and pochoir on velin paper Dimensions: 8.27 x 10.83 inches (21 x 27.5 cm) Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: May 1929 Publisher: Editions Charles Moreau, Paris Printer: Atelier Daniel Jacomet, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album L'Art Cubiste, Theories et Realisations, Etude Critique, published by Editions Charles Moreau, Paris, and printed by Atelier Daniel Jacomet, Paris, May 1929 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French): This album was composed in Didot Characters and completed to print in May 1929 by Ducros et Colas, Maitres-Imprimeurs in Paris. Boards have been executed by D. Jacomet in an edition of D examples, numbered on the colophons. About the Publication: L'Art Cubiste, Theories et Realisations, Etude Critique (Cubist Art, Theories and Achievements, Critical Study), published in 1929 by Editions Charles Moreau, is among the most important critical and artistic documents of the interwar period devoted to the Cubist movement. Conceived as both an analytical study and a visual anthology, the volume brought together theoretical texts and hand-colored plates representing works by the leading figures of Cubism, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Fernand Leger, and Albert Gleizes. Each plate was reproduced in lithograph and finished by hand using the pochoir process under the supervision of master printer Daniel Jacomet, ensuring that the vivid tonal subtleties and compositional precision of the originals were preserved. The publication captures the movement’s intellectual ambition and its enduring impact on the evolution of modern art. Printed on fine velin paper in a limited edition, the album reflects the artisanal excellence of French art publishing during the 1920s and remains a landmark in the history of the illustrated art book. Today, it serves as a rare and invaluable testament to Picasso’s pivotal role in defining the visual language of Cubism and to Jacomet’s unmatched skill in the art of color pochoir printing. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso's career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) achieved a record-breaking sale of 179,365,000 USD at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso's enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
