MARGUERITE KIRMSE (English/American 1885-1954) THREE’S A CROWD, c 1930 Etching, signed and titled in pencil. Plate 6 3/8 x 9 ¾ inches. Full sheet with edges on all sides. Sheet 10 5/8 x 13 5/8 inches. In good condition, save for old tape on sheet edges verso, showing through to recto. A hint of a mat line below the signature Kirmse is considered to be one of the most important etchers of Dogs. Sheet with even white tone - photos show oblique shadows From Wikipedia: Marguerite first trained as a harpist at the Royal Academy of Music but spent much of her spare time drawing animals. She went to the United States in 1910 on holiday with friends but stayed there.[4] She was not successful in advancing her musical career and focused her attention increasingly on her animal drawing, which she developed by frequent sketching trips to the Bronx Zoo.[5] In 1921 she started producing etchings of dogs...

Reginald Marsh (1898-1934), Tattoo-Shave-Haircut, etching, 1932. Signed, titled (“Tattoo-Haircut-Shave”), dedicated (“for Arnold Newman”), and annotated (“Fourth State. First of Two Prints”). Reference: Sasowsky 140. On cream wove paper. In very good condition, with small margins (as trimmed, slightly irregularly, by the artist) (slight foxing in margins), remains of prior hinging verso; 9 7/8 x 9 3/4, the sheet 10 15/16 x 10 5/8 inches; archival matting. A very fine rich black impression; we have not seen impressions of comparable quality on the market. Provenance: Estate of Arnold Newman. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) was one of the great 20th Century masters of photography, and a friend of many leading artists; it is appears that Marsh took special care in printing this impression for Newman. Sasowsky calls for 10 states of Tattoo-Shave, based largely on Marsh’s notes. But the states are not clearly delineated (e.g., his States 3 and 4, one proof each, are characterized by Marsh as “Engraving added”; no information is given for State 5). The design for the print was complete in the first state, and subsequent state changes were not, apparently, major. This impression does not appear to differ in etching lines from the final state impression shown in Sasowsky. Its inscription (as a Fourth State, by Marsh), as well as its rich inking and quality, attest to its being a proof before the edition (of about 34 impressions), but the state of this print (and, presumably of many of the other several proof impressions) cannot at this time be stated with confidence. Marsh printed this impression personally (we recall his famous answer to a question about the size of his editions: “Since I do practically all my own printing, I do not limit the edition. The buyer limits the edition – he rarely buys, I rarely print”). Tattoo-Shave-Haircut depicts a scene in the Bowery, a section of New York’s Lower East Side, during the Great Depression. The building and train structures in the top half of the print recall Piranesi’s Carceri...

Portrait of a Seated Woman oIl on canvas, c. 1930 Signed on the reverse in oil paint: "Paul W" Created while the artist was a student at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts Provenance: Estate of the artist Condition: Cleaned and stretched by Monica Radecki, South Bend, Indiana. The painting is unframed Canvas size: 30 x 24 inches This work created while the artist was in art school. Winchell studied art at the Minneapolis and Chicago Art Institutes in the 1930’s. He went on to teach at both institutions. Winchell studied under the noted artists Daniel Garber and Leon Kroll. Winchell exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Art Institute of Chicago and the Kansas City Art Institute. He retired to a quiet life in Painsville, Ohio. Paul H. Winchell (1903 – 1971) was a printmaker, illustrator, teacher, and gilder according to Crump, 2009 (Minnesota Prints and Printmakers, 1900- 1945, Minnesota Historical Society Press). He was the son of Mrs. Looman Winchell of Shepherd Rd as noted in a 1937 newspaper article (Painsville, O. Telegraph). Winchell grew up in North Perry, Ohio and then studied and worked as an instructor at the Art Institute of Chicago. He studied with Leon Kroll (1884 – 1974), Boris Anisfeld (1878-1973), Daniel Garber (1880 – 1958), Charles Woodbury (1864 – 1940), George Oberteuffer...

Artist: Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) Title: Catalan Farmhouse with Garden and Bare Trees Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions (unframed): 38 × 46 cm (14.96 × 18.11 in) Dimensions (framed): 52 × 60 cm (20.47 × 23.62 in) Signature: Signed lower left Period: Mid-20th Century Condition: Very good condition. Stable pictorial layer with well-preserved original impasto and no visible losses. Frame condition: Period gilt wooden frame with minor wear consistent with age. Presented: Sold with its current frame. Original oil painting by Catalan artist Joaquín Asensio Mariné, depicting a traditional Catalan farmhouse surrounded by a vegetable garden and winter trees. The composition is built with energetic, textured brushwork and visible impasto, giving the surface strong material presence and movement. The artist employs a rich Mediterranean palette of ochres, greens and blue-grey tones, capturing the rustic architecture and intimate atmosphere of rural Catalonia. Asensio Mariné constructs the scene with expressive confidence, balancing structural solidity in the buildings with freer gestural treatment in the vegetation and sky. The thick paint application enhances the tactile quality of the work, making it visually dynamic and highly decorative. Mid-century Catalan rural landscapes remain particularly appreciated by collectors for their authenticity, regional character and timeless Mediterranean appeal. An attractive and characterful example of 20th-century Spanish landscape painting. Joaquín Asensio Mariné (Barcelona, 1890 – 1961) was a Catalan painter known for his Mediterranean landscapes, rural architecture and traditional countryside scenes. Active in Barcelona during the first half of the 20th century, he exhibited in galleries such as Sala Rovira and Galería Jaimes. His work sits between traditional realism and a restrained impressionist language, characterized by textured brushwork and a luminous Mediterranean palette. His rural compositions share affinities with the broader tradition of Spanish landscape painting associated with artists such as Joaquín Sorolla, Eliseu Meifrèn and the Catalan post-impressionist school, while maintaining a distinctly regional character. Today his works are appreciated by collectors of mid-century Spanish and Mediterranean painting for their authenticity, decorative strength and connection to Catalan artistic heritage.

Dark House is a soft-ground etching with aquatint signed in pencil by the artist. This image is in the collection of the Detroit Institute of the Arts Printmaker Earl Horter, born in 1881 in Germantown, Pennsylvania, was known for his realistic etchings and aquatints of urban scenes, though he was also an illustrator and painter. As a teenager, he engraved stock certificates. He was essentially self-taught, though he did take an etching class when he moved to New York City in 1903 to work for an advertising agency. Horter had a one-man show in 1916 in New York City at the Frederick Keppel and Company gallery. He was given the exhibition by Carl Zigrosser, later the first Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Modern Art. Horter was back in Philadelphia in 1917, where he would remain until his death in 1940. He worked there as art director for the N. W. Ayer advertising firm from 1917-1923. Horter was a member of the Society of Illustrators. He exhibited at the Pan American Exposition in 1915 in San Francisco, California; the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; and the Philadelphia Print Club's National Exhibition of Prints; as well as Corcoran Gallery biennials from 1935 to 1939, in Washington, D.C. Horter is listed in "Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of American Artists"; "Who Was Who in American Art"; and Mallett's "Index of Artists". Though not a man of extraordinary means, Horter was a lover of modernist art, which he gradually purchased, creating an important collection, well ahead of its time in America, of Cubist and Precisionist works, as well as African sculpture and Native American artifacts. Artists Horter collected include Europeans Picasso, Braque, Duchamp and Brancusi, and Americans Charles Sheeler and Arthur B. Carles. He was a friend of Carles, as well as other artists and collectors such as Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra; Franklin Watkins; S. S. White; and Carroll Tyson...
