PROVINCETOWN HOUSES
Located in Portland, ME
Cadmus, Egbert (American, 1868-1939). PROVINCETOWN HOUSES. Watercolor on heavy paper. Signed in watercolor, lower left. The scene depicts a dune with a group of houses beyond, and then, further away, the water. 18 x 22 1/8. inches (sheet). A small loss to the paper at the left edge, else in excellent condition.
Egbert Cadmus is remembered as the father of Paul Cadmus, though he had a distinguished career in his own right. There is a portrait of Paul by Egbert dated 1926, and we've seen other Provincetown drawings dated 1927, so apparently the family summered there for several seasons. In 1931 Egbert Cadmus moved to Lyme Connecticut...

ORTHOPHONIC EVENING
By Walt Kuhn
Located in Portland, ME
Kuhn, Walt (American, 1877-1949). ORTHOPHONIC EVENING. Drawing,
ink and watercolor, 1928. Titled, signed and dated within the
image, in ink, and further inscribed with the copyright symbol (c
in a circle) and signed and dated 1937, in pencil, presumably to
preserve reproduction and publication rights. 9 1/2 x 15 1/2
inches, plus margins of about 1/2 inch. In excellent condition.
The "Orthophonic Victrola," introduced in 1925, was the first
electric record player sold commercially. In the drawing it is
seen at the left, with the host changing a record. The rest of
the drawing reveals that listening to music was not the primary
activity of the "orthophonic evening."
The following is quoted from The Pillips Collection's biography
of Kuhn:
Walt Kuhn is remembered as an early promoter of modern art in
America. He was not only a well-known painter, but also a
cartoonist, sculptor, printmaker, writer, teacher, and producer
of vaudeville shows. Born in 1877, Kuhn grew up in Brooklyn,
where he received his education in private schools until he was
sixteen. In 1899 he ventured to San Francisco to work as a
cartoonist for The Wasp, a political and literary weekly. In 1901
Kuhn traveled to Europe for formal art training at the Académie
Colarossi in Paris and later at the Munich Academy. Returning to
New York in 1903, he established a studio in Manhattan and helped
arrange the 1910 Exhibition of Independent Artists. He was a
founding member and officer of the Association of American
Painters and Sculptors, the organization responsible for mounting
the Armory Show of 1913, and in this role traveled through Europe
in 1912 looking at art and helping to select works to be
exhibited. Seeing paintings by Cézanne, Derain, Dufy, Pascin, and
the cubists affected his style, and throughout the teens and
early twenties Kuhn experimented with fauve colors, using blocks
of color akin to Cézanne and with cubist space, integrating
abstracted forms into the space of the picture plane. Finally, he
developed his own painting style characterized by solid,
sculptural depictions of single figures.
Kuhn had his first solo show in 1910 at the Madison Gallery...
