Knute Heldner, born in Vederslov Smoland, Sweden, was a painter and woodcarver who spent the latter part of his professional career in New Orleans, Louisiana gaining national and international recognition for his Louisiana landscapes. His early formal training was at Karlskrona Technical School and the National Royal Academy of Stockholm. Heldner immigrated to the United States about 1902, arriving first in Boston and moving later to the Great Lakes region. He held a variety of jobs such as miner, cobbler and lumber camp cook in Minnesota and continued his art education at the Minneapolis School of Fine Art. His early artwork focused on the manual labor of mining and lumbering in paintings titled Veterans of the Mines and The Lumberjacks. His later work in Southern landscapes including The Cotton Pickers retained a subject interest in the physical aspects of work. He first exhibited his artwork around 1915, when he entered a painting in a Minnesota State Fair competition and won the Gold Medal. In the mid-twenties, Heldner began spending his winters in New Orleans where he painted Vieux Carre scenes and Louisiana landscapes. In the summers, he returned to Duluth, Minnesota. He was an active member of local art communities in both New Orleans and Duluth. In New Orleans, he joined the Southern States Art Union organized by Ellsworth Woodward and was a charter member of the New Orleans Art League. The Art Association of New Orleans hung Heldner's first one-man show at the Isaac Delgado Museum of Art in 1926. He also taught painting at the New Orleans Art School established by the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans. Heldner continued to study art through the twenties and thirties at the Chicago Art Institute, the Academy of Scandinavian Art in Paris, and under the direction of artists David Erickson, Dispieu and others. In 1926, he won the highest honors at the Swedish-American Art Exhibition in Chicago, and in 1932 he held one-man shows at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, a gallery in Stockholm, and the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans Gallery. In the thirties, Heldner participated in the Workers Progress Administration Federal Art Project in Louisiana continuing to paint landscapes as well as portraits. The New Orleans Assembly of Delphians purchased a Heldner painting Petit Vernon and donated it to the Isaac Delgado Museum in 1937. His paintings also hang in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute, the White House, and the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. Heldner married Colette Pope and had two children, Paulette and Franz. He died in New Orleans in 1952.

"MacMahan's Maine, " Howard Everett Giles, Figurative Landscape, Impressionism
Located in New York, NY
Howard Everett Giles (1876 - 1955) MacMahan's Maine Oil on canvas backed with board 30 x 30 inches Signed lower right Provenance: Art Institute of Chicago Christie's New York, December 8, 2011, Lot 2 Howard Giles spent most of his career in New York City, where he was an educator, magazine illustrator, and painter who espoused the theory of Dynamic Symmetry. He was born in Brooklyn, and as a young man worked in a New York railroad office. Financial support of a family friend allowed him to study at the Art Students League with H. Siddons Mowbray. In early 1910, he became an illustrator for Scribner's Magazine, and in 1912, on sketching assignment for Scribner's went to England. During World War I, he did illustration for Harper's Monthly Magazine, and many of his images were 'roaring twenties' genre and figure paintings. In 1912, he began teaching life classes at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts (later Parsons School of Design), and remained there until the late 1920s. During that time, he was also a part-time instructor at the Childs-Walker School in Boston, and accepted numerous invitations to lecture including at Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Detroit Institute of Arts and Wellesley College. His initial painting style was Impressionism, but he grew increasingly interested in other scientific, aesthetic theories. He worked with Jay Hambridge from 1916 to 1919, applying Hambridge's theory of Dynamic Symmetry to his painting and his lecture topics. From 1922 to 1926, Giles also worked with and was influenced in his own painting by colorist theorist Denman Ross, who espoused a limited and related color palette. For many of his paintings, Giles used watercolor although he also painted in oil and pastels. During the last years before his retirement when he moved to Woodstock...
