Medical History - Bilz (F.E.), The Natural Method of Healing: A New and Complete Guide to Health, F.E. Bilz, Leipzig [1901], two-volume set, iv + 2074pp [over the two parts], pull-out folding anatomical chromolithographic plates throughout, conforming two-page sanatorium advertisement to volume I, period buckram boards tooled as issued with title, author and his sanatorium at Radebeul nr. Dresden, 8voFriedrich Eduard Bilz (1842-1922) became interested in naturopathic medicine while trading as Kolonialwarenladen merchant in his native Arnsdorf. Eventually his erudite interest manifested itself in print with Das Neue Naturheilverfahren (The New Natural Healing) in 1888; a book that became very popular and was translated into twelve languages - of which this lot is the second English edition. By 1895 a health spa was founded at Radebul - soon to become a large sanitarium and colloquially known as Bilzbad - to which was added a wave machine/pool in 1912 after its display at the Dresden International Hygiene Exhibition the previous year. Bliz has sunk into obscurity in recent times, along with his soft-drink Bliz-Brause.
Nikolaos CHEIMONASGreek, 1866-1929Coastal landscapeoil on canvassigned lower right25 x 30 cmPROVENANCEprivate collection, Athens Nikolaos Cheimonas studied painting at The Imperial Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg, under Arkhip Kuindzhi, a pupil of Ivan Aivazovsky. After graduating in 1897 he travelled with a group of Kuindzhi’s students to Berlin, Dresden, Vienna and Paris. On their travels they visited many European museums and studied historical western art. Cheimonas taught at The Imperial Academy of Arts, St Petersburg until 1918. In 1919, during The Russian Civil War, his wife Olga was arrested by the new government for transferring messages written by political prisoners. His attempts to free her failed and only further endangered him, so he sought refuge with relatives in Crimea and eventually emigrated to Greece in 1920. A few years later Olga was freed and was able to join him in Greece. In 1929, they moved to the island of Skyros where he died of malaria after being incorrectly diagnosed and treated. Later that year Olga presented a major retrospective of his work in Athens and the following year in London. His work exudes his deep knowledge of European Art, not just Russian but nineteenth century French realism and impressionism. He depicted Greek nature, its atmospheric variations and light graduations in a sound, masterly manner. His work is found in many public and private collections, notably: The National Gallery, Athens, The Athens Municipal Gallery, The Leventis Gallery, Nicosia, The Averoff Gallery, The National Bank of Greece, The National Gallery of St Petersburg and The National Gallery of Moscow.
