ALEXANDER SAMOKHVALOV (RUSSIAN 1894-1971)Portrait of Sergei Aleksandrovich Rinkevich,oil on canvas87.5 x 100 cm (34 1/2 x 39 3/4 in.)PROVENANCECollection of Sergei RinkevichThence by descent in the family LOT NOTESSold along a signed and notarized letter of provenance from the grandson of Sergei Rinkevich (copy available upon request)When Samokhvalov produced this work in the early 1950s, he was renowned for monumental Socialist Realist history paintings, as well as intimate portraits in interior settings, including the present and Girl in an Interior (sold for $131,000, including buyer's premium, at Shapiro Auctions, December 10, 2016, lot 7). The sitter, Professor Sergei Rinkevich, was an eminent electrical engineer and professor, best known as the purveyor of the electrical drive in the USSR. Dr. Rinkevich marshalled the founding of the world's first university department dedicated to the improvement of the drive, which, under his directorship in the 1920s and 30s, launched the rapid electrification of the Soviet heavy industry and navy.According to the letter provided by the sitter's grandson, Igor Sergeevich Rinkevich, who witnessed the making of the work, Samokhvalov painted the image over several sessions in the family's Leningrad apartment in the early 1950s. (See ref. 1 for a photograph of Igor Rinkevich together with the work). Capturing the likeness of one of the nation's distinguished scientists, Samokhvalov shows Dr. Rinkevich deep in thought, his fingers bookmarking a red volume -- a pose reminiscent of Renaissance and Baroque portraits of scholars, such as Bronzino's Portrait of a Young Man with a Book in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum. With characteristic economy of brushwork, Samokhvalov pictures his subject attentively and at a considerable scale, demonstrating his hand as a leading Soviet portraitist.Alexander Samokhvalov, one of the foremost representatives of the Leningrad school of painting, began his artistic career in 1914 at the Higher Art School at the Imperial Academy of Arts, where he studied under Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. Unlike many of his peers at the academy and the Mir iskusstva circle, such as Eugene Lanceray, Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva, or Alexander Osmerkin, in the late 1920s Samokhvalov enthusiastically embraced the development of Socialist Realism for which he is remembered. As in his most recognizable work — Girl in a Football Shirt, awarded the gold medal at the International Art Fair in Paris (which also exhibited Pablo Picasso's Guernica) — his paintings from the 1930s often showcase the first generation of Soviet women as the face of modernity and strength.CONDITIONUnframed, the painting is in age-appropriate condition.

EDNA TACON (AMERICAN-CANADIAN 1905-1980)Tonal Poem,1945oil on canvas102 x 77 cm (40 1/8 x 30 1/4 in.)signed and dated lower leftEXHIBITON Canadian Group Painters, The Art Gallery of Toronto and the Art Association of Montreal, 1945-1946 (label on verso)Canadian National Exhibition, 1947 (label on verso)ESSAYTrained as a violinist traveling to Canada, Europe and New York to perform, it was not until 1929 after marrying her first husband Paul Henry Tacon that Edna started to experiment with painting. Tacon is heavily influenced by Kandinsky studying his theories on abstraction, color and the relationship between the two. Tacon started to intertwine her understanding of music with her abstraction studies, quoting: “many people will say that painting cannot reach the sublime summit that music has attained as an abstract art. But there is an analogy between music and painting when both are nonrepresentational ... It is the ambitious aim of our modern artist to exploit...all the ramifications of such an analogy” (Zemans, Joyce; Burrell, Elizabeth; Hunter, Elizabeth (1988). Kathleen Munn and Edna Taçon: New Perspectives on Modernism in Canada/Nouveau regard sur le modernisme au Canada. The Art Gallery of York University/Éditions du GREF). In Tacon’s early years as an artist she worked with collages, describing her collages as “paper plastics”, which was derived from the writing of Hilla Rebay curator of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting in New York. Tacon in 1941 was awarded a scholarship by a foundation through the Museum of Non-Objective Painting. With this several of her works were exhibited Ten American Non-Objective Painters, in March of 1941. In 1941 was her solo exhibition at New York's Studio 83 and in Toronto at the Eaton’s Fine Arts Galleries. From 1942-1947 she had seven exhibitions primarily between Toronto and New York; of the shows, she was part of a series of group shows which was hosted by the Guggenheim Foundation. This lot is a prime example of Edna Tacon expression and execution of Kandinsky’s theory of the spiritual nature of art. CONDITIONSold in as-is condition.
