Walking cane dated C1918.The handle is etched with the symbol of The Staff of Asclepius--a snake and staff, which is the symbol of the medical or physician’s profession. A silver plaque is inserted on the top is engraved ‘Dr.W.E.Ross’. The handle unscrews to reveal a compartment, which holds a silver pill dispenser. This has a twist top to reveal a small slot for pill dispensing. This may not be the original but is a good fit and appropriate to the date being hallmarked for Birmingham 1919 with makers mark W.V.& S for William Vale and Sons. The cane has a plain silver collar mounted on a slim rosewood shaft and has a replaced ferrule. Apart from two closed age and stress faults in the handle all in overall good condition. Length 35 1/4"(897cm) Handle 2 1/8"(540mm) Circ.4 1/8"(104mm) Pill dispenser (included) L.2 5/8"(620mm). Point of interest. Many "medical" organisations use a symbol of a short rod entwined by two snakes and topped by a pair of wings, which is actually the caduceus or magic wand of the Greek god Hermes (Roman Mercury), messenger of the gods, inventor of (magical) incantations, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. (See symbol right).It is derived from the Greek karykeion = "herald's staff", itself based on the word "eruko" meaning restrain, controlProfessional and patient centered organizations, together with most medical Associations around the world including the World Health Organization, use the "correct" and traditional symbol of medicine, the staff of Asclepius. (See symbol left) This has a single serpent encircling the staff, classically a rough-hewn knotty tree limb. Asclepius (an ancient Greek physician deified as the god of medicine) is traditionally depicted as a bearded man wearing a robe holding a staff with his sacred single serpent coiled around it,

Nach einer Ausbildung zum Buchdrucker und Grafiker geht Erich Erler 1896 nach Paris, um dort als Schriftsteller und Korrespondent einer Tageszeitung Fuß zu fassen. Aufgrund einer Erkrankung an Tuberkulose, damals auch unter dem Namen Schwindsucht weit verbreitet, begibt er sich ins Engadin zur Luftkur in das Sanatorium von Dr. Oskar Bernhard, Kunstsammler und Bewunderer des italienisch-schweizerischen Malers Giovanni Segantini. Unter dem Eindruck der imposanten Hochlandschaft und den Werken Segantinis beginnt Erler selbst mit der Malerei. Mit kurzen Unterbrechungen weilt er bis zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs im Engadin im Ort Samaden, dessen Name er dem seinen als „Dank an die Berge“ für seine Genesung hinzufügt. Einige Zeit zuvor zieht sich bereits Friedrich Nietzsche in die Abgeschiedenheit des Engadins zurück, und Mitte der 1920er Jahre verewigt Thomas Mann mit seinem „Zauberberg“ die Region literarisch. Erich Erler gehört 1899 in München, wo er sich zeitweise ein Atelier einrichtet, zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der Künstlergruppe „Die Scholle“ und fertigt Grafiken für die Zeitschrift „Jugend“. Seine Landschaften aus dem Engadin, die den Großteil seines Motivrepertoires ausmachen, sind deutlich von der divisionistischen Malweise und Farbgebung Segantinis und einer symbolistischen Bildsprache geprägt. Kantig treten seine Figuren klar umgrenzt vor dem weiten Hintergrund auf und strahlen statuenhafte, unbewegte Monumentalität im sonst menschenleeren Bildraum aus. Ein gewisses Pathos der in heroischer Abgeschiedenheit im Einklang mit der Stille und Erhabenheit der Natur präsentierten Figur der einsamen Hirtin, der Blick in die Unendlichkeit des Himmels gerichtet, lässt sich dabei nicht leugnen. Die beschützende, entschleunigende Alpenlandschaft mag dem aus Paris vor seiner Krankheit geflohenen Erler wie ein magisches Reich erschienen sein, als das er die in sich geschlossene Welt des Engadin, damals von einer touristischen Erschließung noch weit entfernt, in kosmisch-bewegtem Pinselduktus wiedergibt. 1906 ist er mit dreizehn Bildern in der 25. Ausstellung der Wiener Secession zusammen mit Künstlern der 'Scholle' vertreten. Umso mehr wird deutlich, wie lohnenswert eine noch ausstehende umfassende kunsthistorische Würdigung Erich Erlers im Kontext des Symbolismus und der erneuerten Alpenmalerei zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wäre. [KT] Aufrufzeit: 09.12.2023 - ca. 14.15 h +/- 20 Min.

EXHIBITION: Erich Erler - ein Schollemaler 1870-1946, Neues Stadtmuseum Landsberg am Lech, November 15, 2002 - January 19, 2003, cat. no. 11. After training as a printer and graphic artist, Erich Erler went to Paris in 1896 to gain a foothold as a writer and correspondent for a daily newspaper. As he fell ill with tuberculosis, he went to the Engadin for a cure in the sanatorium of Dr. Oskar Bernhard, art collector and admirer of the Italian-Swiss painter Giovanni Segantini. Impressed by the mountain landscape and Segantini's works, Erler began to paint. With brief interruptions, he stayed in the Ebgadin village of Samaden until the outbreak of the First World War, He added the place’s name to his own to appreciated his 'gratitude for the mountains' as they helped him to recover. Some time earlier, Friedrich Nietzsche had already retreated to the seclusion of the Engadin, and in the mid-1920s, Thomas Mann immortalized the region in literature with his work 'The Magic Mountain'. Erich Erler was one of the founding members of the artist group 'Die Scholle' in Munich in 1899, where he temporarily set up a studio, and produced prints for the magazine 'Jugend'. His landscapes of the Engadin, which make up the majority of his motifs, are clearly influenced by Segantini's divisionist painting style and color scheme and a symbolistic pictorial language. His figures are clearly delineated against the wide background and radiate a statuesque, motionless monumentality in the otherwise deserted pictorial space. A certain pathos cannot be denied in the figure of the lonely shepherdess, presented in heroic isolation in harmony with the stillness and sublimity of nature, the gaze directed towards the infinite sky. The protective, decelerating The Alpine landscape with its slower pace of life, may have seemed like a magical realm to Erler, who had fled Paris to escape his illness, as he depicted the mountain world world of the Engadin, at a when it was still far from mass tourism, in a cosmically moving brushstroke. In 1906, he showed thirteen paintings in the 25th exhibition of the Vienna Secession together with artists from the 'Scholle'. This makes it all the more clear how worthwhile a comprehensive art-historical appreciation of Erich Erler in the context of Symbolism and renewed Alpine painting at the beginning of the 20th century would be.

Edward Cucuel 1875 San Francisco - 1954 Pasadena Waldschatten. Um 1910-20. Öl auf Leinwand. Links unten signiert. Verso auf dem Keilrahmen erneut signiert sowie betitelt. 61 x 50 cm (24 x 19,6 in). • Charakteristisches Motiv im Schaffen Cucuels, der sich vor allem den eleganten Frauengestalten in der Natur widmet • Cucuel zeigt sein malerisches Können im lebhaften Wechsel von Licht und Schatten, die die sommerliche Leichtigkeit spürbar machen • In der pastosen, impressionistischen Malweise fasziniert besonders das schillernde nuancenreiche Farbenspiel. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Baden-Württemberg. Das Werk Edward Cucuels ist ab den 1910er Jahren geprägt durch eine heitere, unbeschwerte Freiluftmalerei, die er zunächst mit seinem Freund und Lehrmeister Leo Putz in Hartmannsberg am Chiemsee betreibt. Hier arbeiten die Maler über vier Jahre hinweg jeden Sommer Seite an Seite. Zuvor ist er hauptsächlich als Grafiker und Illustrator für die Presse tätig, unter anderem in den 1890er Jahren in New York, nachdem er in seiner Geburtsstadt San Francisco an der Kunstakademie und in Paris an der fortschrittlichen Académie Julian studiert hat. Ab 1914 ist Cucuel am Ammersee und anschließend am Starnberger See südlich von München ansässig, wo er eine Villa mit weitläufigem Seegrundstück besitzt. Dort führt er die zuvor gewählte Motivik fort: junge, elegant gekleidete Damen, die lässig drapiert im Grünen ihrem Freizeitvergnügen nachgehen. Im Stil unabhängiger von Putz werdend, fängt Cucuel seine Bilder durch einen ungebrochen flüssig bis flüchtigen Pinselduktus in satten Farbtönen von hoher Leuchtkraft ein. Den besonderen Reiz von Edward Cucuels Gemälden macht ihre spürbare Leichtigkeit und nonchalante Eleganz aus. Die Inszenierung der Modelle lässt die Grenze zwischen Pose und unbeobachteter Spontaneität verschwimmen, in der lockeren Ausführung erscheint die Malerei als angenehmer sommerlicher Zeitvertreib. Häufig verwendet er dabei nicht nur den Pinsel, sondern trägt die Farbe in breiten Strichen mit dem Malmesser auf, wodurch seine Motive trotz der hellen, pastelligen Farben eine solide Körperlichkeit erlangen. Insbesondere die Welt der schönen, unbeschwerten jungen Frau in sommerlicher Landschaft ist eines der erfolgreichsten Motive von Edward Cucuel. Seine Bilder vom Ufer des Starnberger Sees und dem zur Villa gehörenden Park sowie der kleinen, lichterfüllten Wäldchen im Umland sind Ausdruck einer Lebenshaltung, die gleichzeitig charakteristisch für eine bestimmte Gesellschaftsschicht ist, der der Maler in seiner vom Spätimpressionismus beeinflussten Malweise auf exemplarische Weise huldigt. Irisierende Lichtreflexe auf der weißen Kleidung der Damen, hier vor dem intensiven Grün der Zweige und des von einzelnen Sonnenflecken erhellten Erdbodens, geben der Szene jenen imaginären Zauber des optisch Entrückten, der für viele Arbeiten Cucuels aus dieser Epoche so charakteristisch ist.

Lower left signed. Signed, as well as titled on the reverse. 61 x 50 cm (24 x 19.6 in). • A characteristic motif in Cucuel's oeuvre, which is primarily dedicated to elegant female figures in nature • Cucuel demonstrates his painting skills in the lively alternation of light and shadow, which make the summery lightness palpable • In the impasto, impressionistic painting style, the dazzling, nuanced play of colors is particularly fascinating. PROVENANCE: Private collection Baden-Württemberg. From the 1910s onward, Edward Cucuel's work was characterized by cheerful, carefree open-air painting, which he initially pursued with his friend and teacher Leo Putz in Hartmannsberg am Chiemsee, where the painters worked side by side every summer for four years. Prior to this, he worked mainly as a graphic artist and illustrator for the press, such as in New York in the 1890s, after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in his native city of San Francisco and at the progressive Académie Julian in Paris. From 1914, Cucuel lived on Lake Ammersee and then on Lake Starnberg south of Munich, where he owned a villa with an extensive lakeside garden. He continued the motif he had previously chosen: young, elegantly dressed ladies, casually draped and enjoying their leisure time in the countryside. Becoming more independent in style from Putz, Cucuel captured his pictures with an unbroken fluid to fleeting brushstroke in rich colors of high luminosity. The special appeal of Edward Cucuel's paintings lies in their palpable lightness and nonchalant elegance. The staging of the models blurs the boundary between pose and unobserved spontaneity; in the relaxed execution, painting appears to be a pleasant summer pastime. He often not only uses a brush, but also applies the paint in broad strokes with a painting knife, giving his motifs a solid physicality despite the bright, pastel colors. In particular, the world of the beautiful, carefree young woman in a summer landscape is one of Edward Cucuel's most successful motifs. His pictures of the shores of Lake Starnberg and the park belonging to the villa, as well as the small, light-filled woods in the surrounding countryside, are an expression of an attitude to life that is also characteristic of a certain social class, to which the painter paid homage in his late Impressionist-influenced style of painting. Iridescent reflections of light on the white clothing of the ladies, here against the intense green of the branches and the ground illuminated by individual patches of sunlight, give the scene that enraptured magic that is so characteristic of many of Cucuel's works from this period.

Privatsammlung USA (beim Vorgenannten erworben). Privatsammlung Berlin (seit 1996). LITERATUR: Grisebach, Berlin, 29.11.1996, Los 20. Vor allem in seinen letzten Lebensjahren kommt Nolde immer wieder auf eines seiner frühen Motive, das Blumenstillleben, zurück. An diesen Blättern fasziniert die gleichsam traumwandlerische Sicherheit, mit der Emil Nolde seine Blumenaquarelle schuf. Insbesondere, jedoch nicht allein, ist es die ungewöhnliche, fast magische Farbwelt, die den geheimen Zauber dieser Blätter ausmacht. Darüber hinaus ist es außerdem die Komposition als solche, die wesentlich zu dem intensiven Gesamteindruck beiträgt. Die spezielle Technik des Nass-in-Nass-Malens, die Nolde in diesen Werken perfektioniert, ist hier in seinem Spätwerk ergänzt durch den Einsatz von Tempera-Farben, die der Künstler als besonders lichtecht empfindet, wodurch sich ein überaus reizvolles Wechselspiel zwischen lasierenden und kräftig deckenden Bildpassagen ergibt, das in dem hier vorliegenden Blatt insbesondere die Tulpen- und Mohnblüten ausdrucksstark akzentuiert. Es ist daher nicht verwunderlich, dass die Blumenstillleben mit ihrem zugleich farbintensiv leuchtenden und feinsinnig sanft abgestimmten Kolorit und ihren besonders reizvollen Blütenarrangements heute eine besonders gefragte Motivgruppe im Œuvre des Künstlers sind.

LITERATURE: Grisebach, Berlin, November 29, 1996, lot 20. Particularly in the last years of his life, Nolde repeatedly revisited one of his early motifs, the floral still life. What is so fascinating about these sheets is the almost somnambulistic certainty with which Emil Nolde created watercolors of flowers. In particular, but not alone, it is the unusual, almost magical world of color that makes for the secret magic of these sheets. It is also the composition as such that contributes to the intense overall impression. The special technique of wet-on-wet painting, which Nolde perfected in these works, is supplemented in his late works by the use of tempera, which the artist found to be particularly lightfast, resulting in an extremely charming interplay between glazed and strongly opaque parts, which in the present sheet accentuates the tulip and poppy blossoms in a particularly expressive manner. It is therefore not surprising that floral still lifes of appealing flower arrangements with luminous and subtle colors are a particularly popular group in the artist's oeuvre today.
