Nacenta, 'Gauguin', in Art et style, no. 55, 1960 (illustrated). K. Mittelstädt, Paul Gauguin, Self-portraits, Oxford, 1968, no. 17 (illustrated p. 61).Autoportrait is strongly tied to Paul Gauguin's time in Le Pouldu, a secluded coastal village in Britanny where the artist sought refuge in August 1889. Fleeing the commercialisation of Pont-Aven, Gauguin found a creative sanctuary at Buvette de la Plage, an inn run by Marie Henry (1859-1945) in the village. Along with Meijer de Haan (1852-1895) – whom Gauguin humorously referred to as his 'pupil' in his letters – the inn became a vibrant artistic hub, with its dining room transformed by murals and artworks executed by the two artists, which are still observable today. Marie Henry, who later became de Haan's lover, retained some of Gauguin's works, likely as compensation for his stay, as Gauguin had been living on credit. Passing thence by descent through the Léa 'Mimi' Henry Collection, this piece was subsequently acquired by Fritz Gross (1895-1969), the Austrian artist, architect and art collector. Gross, who escaped Nazi rule and moved to London in 1938, built an impressive collection of Impressionist and Modern art, including pieces by Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. His passion for collecting was celebrated in an exhibition dedicated to his collection held at the Ashmolean Museum in 1990.Autoportrait highlights the significance of Le Pouldu to Gauguin's creativity and self-exploration. In a letter to Émile Bernard during the winter of 1889, Gauguin expressed his desire to reinvent himself, stating: 'I hope that this winter you will find in me a new Gauguin... What I am trying to get at is a corner of myself which I do not yet understand' (M. Malingue, Paul Gauguin: Letters to his Wife and Friends, 2003, p. 122). His depiction in simple, native Breton attire reflects this quest for self-discovery and the incorporation of the local culture into his identity.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER (1880-1938)Liebespaar pencil on paper34.3 x 44.5cm (13 1/2 x 17 1/2in).Executed in 1908Footnotes:The work is listed in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archives, Wichtrach/Bern.ProvenanceThe artist's estate. Dr & Mrs Gervais Collection, Zurich and Lyon, no. KLM 25.Christian Anton Laely Collection, Davos and Paris (acquired by 1938).Buchholz Gallery (Curt Valentin), New York, (possibly) no. 15445. L. Roy Blumenthal Collection, New York; his estate sale, Sotheby's, New York, 27 May 1976, lot 248.Private collection, US.Gail Forrest, Illinois.Private collection, US (acquired from the above on 9 December 1997).As a founding member of the Dresden based 'Die Brücke' group of artists in June 1905, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was undoubtedly one of the most integral and prolific proponents of German Expressionism and among Germany's most important twentieth century artists.Signalled by the present work's date and the patterned blanket seen under the figures, Liebespaar hails from the much sought after Dresden years of the Brücke group, at a time when Kirchner's studio was a frequent haunt for the artists and their friends. Members of the social circle did not so much model there but rejected Germany's strict social constraints by engaging in hedonism and embracing sexual freedom as a liberated group. Nudity was common and the artists devoured the naturality of the scenes, capturing the fluidity of the human form in motion - the subject of their complete focus. Often noted in his writing, Kirchner was also particularly invested in the importance of drawing as a record of artistic experience. This lends the studio drawings, such as the present work, a particular intimacy and atmosphere of the moment, which is rendered by a simplified line.The mysterious collection of Dr Gervais appears in the provenance for a great number of works on paper by Kirchner and he is noted as one of the artist's most prolific collectors, amassing over 500 prints and drawings by the artist. His handwritten, systematic inscription appears on these works, beginning with 'K', referring to 'Kirchner'; the subsequent letters denote the details of the sheet and the numbers refer to their place in the series. Some examples include 'KZ - Kirchner Zeichnung (drawing)' and 'KFH - Kirchner Farbholzschnitt (coloured woodcut)'. The present work's 'KLM' is yet to be identified.Long an unknown entity, it is now widely believed that the Gervais Collection was in fact an invention of Kirchner's final student, Christian Anton Laely (1913-1992), who worked with the artist in Davos from 1935 until Kirchner committed suicide in 1938. Despite his tutor's death, Laely remained in contact with Kirchner's wife, Erna Schilling, and the artist's estate. His invention of the Gervais Collection likely came as a method of circumnavigating the freezing of assets during the war, allowing the continued sale of works to collectors in Germany. Works by Kirchner from his collection are now in some of the most prominent private and public collections across the globe.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
