GEORGES ROUAULT (1871-1958)'Christ de Profil' Passion from Les Fleurs de Mal (1937)Colour aquatint, 34 x 23cmProvenance: With Willie Viertler, London, from whom purchased by Dr Alton, 1978.Printed as part of twelve aquatints published by Ambroise Vollard in 1938, whom Rouault had a long and somewhat troublesome relationship with for over two decades. Although Vollard provided Rouault with a studio on the top floor of his own house where he could work undisturbed, he also liked to monopolize the work of his artists in order to isolate them from other dealers and patrons. These aquatints on woven paper were created as illustrations for an edition of Baudelaire’s volume of poetry Les Fleur de Mal first published in 1857. It would go on to become very important for the symbolist and modern movement. Rouault was a deeply spiritual individual and this manifested itself in his artwork, as reflected in this adoring portrait of Christ. The face expresses a deep confidence with the head held up reminiscent of Eastern Orthodox icons reflecting Christ’s victory over death won on the cross. In this work there is a clear influence of Rouault’s early training as an apprentice of stained glass in which the hard, opaque brushstrokes and thick outlines resemble the lead borders of the windows. His bold washes of paint set against ominous shadows lead to the creation of a highly distinctive and expressive style tied partly to cubist strategy of an abstracted fracturing of space and the Fauvist tendency for rich intense colours.

ATTRIBUTED TO FAZL (MUGHAL c.1616)A leaf from the manuscript of the RazmnamaMixed media on paper, 40 x 25cmSatrughna lies wounded by the arrows of Lava nad Kusa, his head cradled in the arms of Rama, around them are scattered the corpses of battle; on the right by a grove stands the white horse of the Aswa-medha; a city in the left distance.Provenance: from the H. Kevorkian Collection; Colnaghi, London 1978 from whom purchased by Dr Alton, 1978.Islam arrived in South Asia in the eighth century and by the close of the twelfth the Sultans of Delhi had established themselves as a viable power on the northern plains of India. The Mughal dynasty (1526-1857) ruled over large parts of the Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan. Akbar (1542-1605) was the third Mughal Emperor ascending the throne in 1556 after the death of his father, Humayun. There was a large cultural divide between the Muslim leaders and their predominantly Hindu subjects but Akbar’s reign aimed to resolve these complex issues. Under Akbar’s influence, the early Mughal court developed a lively literary culture that aimed to understand the indigenous traditions of the Indian people, albeit through a Persianate lens.In 1582 Persian was declared the official language of the court and a number of works in different languages were translated into Persian with the support of the king. It is important to note that these literatures were not the focus of reproduction and translation into Persian. Rather, the desire was for a rendering of a special sort, namely, the creation of a unique Indo-Persian literature, drawing on the Sanskrit classics, most notably the Mahabharata, the Hindu epic recounting the legendary war between the royal Kaurava and Pandava clans. The translation of the Mahabharata was commissioned by Akbar and he named it the Razmnama. The Mughal court was multi-lingual with the royal library of the Mughals, now dispersed, housing books in Turkish, Arabic and Persian, as well as Sanskrit manuscripts.This page belongs to a later manuscript edition (c.1616/ A.H.1025) of the Razmnama patronised by the powerful 'Abd al-Rahim, the commander-in-chief of the imperial Mughal army. He was a prominent member of the literary society and also sponsored a notable painting workshop. 'Abd al-Rahim's manuscript follows the Persian format of integrating text blocks into the illustration. The format of the paintings is unusual for the time, with large paintings typically wrapped around substantial blocks of text. There is a clear hierarchy between text and image in which the latter is manipulated and fractured in order to accommodate the written narrative. The text is written in the Naskhi script, one of the earliest forms in Islamic writing, it was very popular for use in book production because of its delicate size. Fazl was one of numerous artists working for ‘Abd al-Rahim’s atelier to produce the epic manuscript. His design is compelling in capturing the confused melee of battle, with many gravely wounded figures dispersed through the landscape, including the main protagonist of the scene, Satrughna in the mid-section of the leaf. Fazl very cleverly uses the borders of the manuscript page to cut off parts of the image introducing a dynamic momentum as the figures on horseback seem to ride in and out of scene.Hagop Kevorkian’s collection contains many fine examples of Islamic and Middle Eastern artworks. Born in Kayseri, Turkey (1872) he graduated from the renowned American-founded Robert College in Istanbul with a degree in archaeology and settled in New York in the late nineteenth century. He was one of the early archaeologists to lead important excavations to places such as Sultanabad and Rayy in Iran. As a connoisseur and art collector he quickly became a key tastemaker for Islamic art, introducing objects imported from Turkey, Iran to the western art market. In 1951, he established The Kevorkian Foundation, which became one of the most important supporters for Middle Eastern studies in New York. An area of discipline that was largely underdeveloped and underfunded in western academic institutions, the foundation has gone on to create the Kevorkian Chair of Iranian Studies at Columbia University, several professorships, and the Hagop Kevorkian Center of Near Eastern Studies at New York University. As a collector, Hagop Kevorkian was mainly interested in antique and Islamic art of the Near East. He was an important benefactor of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, regularly partaking in exhibitions or donating works such as permanent display, The Damascus Room, which contains the interior of a residential winter chamber dating from A.H. 1119/A.D. 1707. At the time of his death in 1962, his collection of first-class Islamic art became available to the art market. There have been few examples since of such a comprehensive and impressive selection. The art world owes a great debt to his dedication and forward thinking approach to obtaining, what are now, such prized treasures.
