Halls Fine Art Auctioneers

Lot 296

Paul Swan, American School, 1883-1972 `Portrait of Isadora Duncan wearing a blue dress and coloured bead necklace, three quarter length` oil on canvas, signed and dated `22 100cm x 71.5cm Provenance Gift of the artist to Salvatore Cartaino Scarpitta (1887-1948) Enrico Saccone The flamboyant artist and dancer Paul Spencer Swan (1883-1972) had a tempestuous relationship with Isadora Duncan. They first met in Paris where Duncan had moved in 1900. She described Swan famously as `the most beautiful man in the world`. Isadora Duncan completely transformed the concept of ballet, rejecting classical ballet as `ugly and against nature` she introduced the idea of improvisation emphasising emotion and the human form. She gained international fame and became the inspiration for many artists and designers of the day. Such was her fame that by 1913 a portrait of the dancer by sculptor Antoine Bordelle was placed over the entrance of the newly built Theatre des Champs-Elysees. Paul Swan shared Duncan`s philosophy of self- expression both in his work of dancer and artist and in his Bohemian style private life. Both he and Duncan were self confessed bisexuals. It is very probable that they were in sexual relationship however Duncan`s whirlwind personality drew many admirers close only to be dropped again just as quickly. It is alleged that the sculptor Scarpitta made a social visit to Swan`s studio in Los Angeles to find the artist raging before his portrait of Isadora and about to paint it out. Swan had modelled for Scarpitta on many occasions and the two artists were great friends. The sculptor, recognizing the importance of the portrait, persuaded Swan to part with the picture in return for several litres of wine and thus it was saved. The picture remained with the Scarpitta family for many years before being purchased by the present vendor Enrico Seccone. Salvatore Scarpitta had worked on The Victor Emmanuel monument in Rome for the architect Count Giuseppe Seccone (1854 - 1905), the vendor`s grandfather.

Lot 339

Charles Robertson (1844-1891) ‘The Faithful at Prayer’ signed and dated C.Robertson, RWS 1888 bottom right watercolour heightened with white 77 x 132cm. Footnote: An oil painting called The Shoes of The Faithful was exhibited at the R.A. in 1882. Charles Robertson (1844-1891): landscape and genre painter in oils and watercolours and occasional engraver. Robertson travelled extensively from an early age. In 1862, at the age of 18, he travelled for the first time to Algeria which would inspire his first Orientalist work Boufarik Algeria, which he exhibited at The Royal Academy the following year. Later travels would include Turkey, Egypt, Tangiers, Jerusalem and Damascus. He first settled in Aix en Provence. Robertson painted in oils for the early part of his career, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1863-1885. In 1880 he began to move towards the use of watercolour and by 1884 he was executing the majority of his work in this medium. Just five years after taking-up this practice he was invited to exhibit at The Royal Watercolour Society becoming a member in 1891. He also became a member or the R.O.I. and the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers. From 1864 Robertson had an address at Walton-on-Thames and latterly Godalming, Surrey. A technically accomplished artist, well travelled, best known for his exotic Middle Eastern and Orientalist subjects which he depicted in a manner reminiscent of John Frederick Lewis with bright jewel-like colours. In the last decade of his life he was producing some of his most brilliant work.
