Edward Alfred Cucuel “Portrait of Renee Thornton”

About the Item

Edward Cucuel American, 1879-1951 “Portrait of the Great Operatic and Concert Singer Renee Thornton” Oil on canvas Dated 1930 at New York on reverse, and signed upper right 50 by 39in. w/frame 55 ½ by 44 ½in. Edward Cucuel was born as the son of a newspaper publisher in San Francisco. Already at the age of 14 he attended the local academy of arts. Still a teenager he was employed as an illustrator by the newspaper 'The Examiner'. When the 17-year-old Cucuel was sent to Paris, he entered the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi where he studied with Constant, J. P. Laurens, and Boujuereau. Then he went to Jean Léon Gérôme at the Académie des Beaux Arts. He was a member of the National Society des Beaux Arts, in Paris. In 1896 Cucuel returned to the USA and settled in New York. After half a year, when he worked again as a newspaper illustrator, Cucuel went back to Paris to devote himself to art. He spent two years there, and then traveled through France and Italy to study the old masters. In Germany, he went to Berlin, where he mainly worked as an illustrator. In 1907 Cucuel moved to Munich, the city that should become his home for a long time. There, he joined the artists' group 'Scholle', which was dominated by the outstanding artistic figure Leo Putz. The group took care of him in artistic matters. Furthermore Cucuel took part in the exhibitions of the Secession in Munich. In 1912 the artist successfully exhibited some of his works in Paris. He became a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1913 and later of the Salon d’Automne in Paris and the Isaria and Aussteller-Verbund Munchner Kunstler, Der Ring, in Munich. His work was exhibited at the P.P. Expo in San Francisco in 1915. In 1914 his address is recorded as 5, Rue Bellart, Paris when he exhibited ‘The Friends’ at the Pennsylvania Academy. Six years later it was care of The American Express Company, when he showed ‘The Bather, Girl in Yellow, and Autumn Sun.’ His last address recorded in the reference books was Westerham in Kent (1940). His work is represented in many important collections, including the Detroit Institute, the Musée National des Arts et Décoration (Louvres) and the Birkenhead Museum Liverpool. A number of books have been written about his work, including The Art of Edward Cucuel by Baron von Ostini (with 100 colour plates), Colour Plates of E Cucuel published by E W Savory (Bristol, England). His early work particularly shows the influence of Expressionism while his later work became softer and generally more commercial. His paintings resemble the French impressionists as to color and motives. His favorite motives are portraits of women and nudes in bright interiors, Plein-air-representations with social scenes and charming Bavarian landscapes. From 1914 to 1918 Cucuel lived in Holzhausen at the Ammersee and later put up studios in Munich and Starnberg. Since 1928 he spent his summers there and regularly lived in New York during the winter until 1934. Because of the beginning of Word War II Cucuel finally left Germany in 1939. He settled in the Californian town Pasadena, where he led a secluded life until his death in 1954.

Young Women Portrait by Alfred Schmidt, 1920

Located in Vo', Veneto

Alfred Schmidt (1876 ????- 1956) – Portrait of the concert singer Caroline Naase Oil on canvas circa 1920 60 x 47 cm – without frame 78 x 65 cm – frame included Signed center right: Alf Schmidt. Alfred Schmidt 1876 Dresden – 1956 Graefelfing An impressionist at the Chiemsee The painterly mood content, which the artist Alfred Schmidt captured in countless variations on the canvas, occupies such an eminent and substantial position that it is inextricably linked to his oeuvre. “[…] Female creatures walking in the shimmering air […]”(1), who find their pleasure in the warm, golden tones of summer and the grey-silver shimmering water surface of the lake, correspond to the characteristic motif of the native of Dresden. One is inevitably reminded of the impressionist Christian Landenberger (1862-1927), to whom Schmidt was a friend and who painted canvas on canvas at Lake Ammersee, but “[…] softer, sweeter and more narrative, because he [Schmidt] often expands on that Nature and the human body come together to create a small, genre-like idyll”(2). His art is a commitment to plein air painting. He openly displays his impressionistic impetus. The originally anecdotal aspects of his painting, which he had experienced at the Karlsruhe Academy from 1886 to 1893, he gradually put aside both through the one-year study visit to Paris and Brittany in 1889 and through the influence of Landenberger and Swabian landscape painting. From this point onwards, artistic development is hardly noticeable. He had found his individual style and stuck to it. At the end of 1899, Schmidt came to the Swabian capital from Karlsruhe in the entourage of Leopold Graf von Kalckreuth (1855-1922), who was appointed to the Stuttgart Academy with Carlos Grethe (1864-1913) and Robert Poetzelberger...
