Edward Cucuel (1875 San Francisco - 1954 Pasadena/Kalifornien)'Am Meeresstrand', Öl auf Leinwand, 50,5 cm x 70,5 cm, signiert, verso signiert, betitelt, partiell minimal craqueliert, minimal fleckig, partiell retuschiert Edward Cucuel wurde als Sohn eines französischen Zeitungsverlegers geboren. Daher lag nicht nur der erste Berufsweg als Illustrator nahe, sondern auch die weitere künstlerische Ausbildung in Frankreich. Nachdem der angehende, in Amerika geborene, Künstler die Kunstakademie in San Francisco besuchte, studierte er auch in Paris an der angesehenen Académie Julian, der Académie Colarossi und der staatlichen Académie des Beaux-Arts. Für seine künstlerische Arbeit war nicht nur das Studium der "Alten Meister" in Italien und Frankreich wesentlich, sondern auch Reisen nach Spanien, Algerien, sowie dem weit entfernten Ceylon, Japan und China. Bis er sich schließlich in München der Künstlervereinigung "Die Scholle" anschloss. Um gegen den damaligen "Münchner Malerfürst" Franz von Lenbach anzugehen, formulierte die Künstlergruppe im Heft "Jugend - Münchner illustrierte Wochenschrift für Kunst und Leben" folgende Erklärung: "[.] Die 'Scholle' hat kein anderes gemeinsames Ziel, keine andere Marschroute, als dass jeder seine eigene 'Scholle' bebaue, die freilich auf keiner Landkarte zu finden ist."Der weitere damalige Künstlerkreis am Chiemsee - innerhalb dessen er seine zweite Frau Clara Lotte von Marcard (1897-1968) kennenlernte - beeinflusste den Künstler sicherlich ebenso. Beispielsweise ist die Freilichtmalerei des Tiroler Künstlers Leo Pütz, sowie die Nähe zur impressionistischen Malerei, zu nennen. Wiederzuerkennen im besinnlichen und zugleich atmosphärischen Gemälde "Am Meeresstrand". Hier malte Cucuel ein Mädchen am Meer. Gekleidet im sommerlichen Kleid und Hut, steht es barfuß am Strand. Gerade durch die Darstellung der Repoussoirfigur - mit dem Rücken zu uns als Betrachter gewandt - und dem Blick in die Ferne berührt es in sehnsüchtigem Sinne. Wir können uns geradezu in die junge Frau hineinversetzen, den Wind auf der Haut spüren, die salzige See schmecken und den kühl nassen Untergrund erfühlen. Die fein gesetzten Spiegelungen im Wasser und die leichten Wellen setzen das Motiv mit dem hoch gesetzten Horizont zusammen und gliedern das Bild ebenso wie der Strandabschnitt. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs malte Cucuel in Holzhausen am Ammersee, danach in München und Starnberg. 1939 ließ er sich in Pasadena (Kalifornien) nieder, wo er bis zu seinem Tode 1954 lebte.Edward Cucuel (1875 San Francisco - 1954 Pasadena/California)'Am Meeresstrand', oil on canvas, 50,5 cm x 70,5 cm, signed, signed on verso, titled, partially minimally craquelure, minimally spotted, partly retouchedEdward Cucuel was born the son of a French newspaper publisher. Therefore, not only was his first career path as an illustrator obvious, but also his further artistic training in France. After the American-born artist attended the art academy in San Francisco, he also studied in Paris at the prestigious Académie Julian, the Académie Colarossi and the state Académie des Beaux-Arts. Essential to his artistic work was not only the study of the "Old Masters" in Italy and France, but also journeys to Spain, Algeria, as well as faraway Ceylon, Japan and China. Until he finally joined the artists' association "Die Scholle" in Munich. To counter the then "Munich painter prince" Franz von Lenbach, the artists' group formulated the following statement in the magazine "Jugend - Münchner illustrierte Wochenschrift für Kunst und Leben": "[. The 'Scholle' has no other common goal, no other route, than that everyone cultivates his own 'Scholle', which admittedly cannot be found on any map." The other artists' circle at Chiemsee at the time - within which he met his second wife Clara Lotte von Marcard (1897-1968) - certainly influenced the artist as well. For example, the open-air painting of the Tyrolean artist Leo Pütz, as well as the proximity to Impressionist painting, can be recognised in the contemplative and at the same time atmospheric painting "Am Meeresstrand". Here Cucuel painted a girl by the sea. Dressed in a summery dress and hat, she stands barefoot on the beach. It is precisely through the depiction of the repoussoir figure - with her back turned to us as the viewer - and her gaze into the distance that it touches us in a longing sense. We can almost put ourselves in the young woman's place, feel the wind on our skin, taste the salty sea and feel the cool wet ground. The finely placed reflections in the water and the light waves compose the motif with the high-set horizon and structure the picture just as the beach section does. During the First World War Cucuel painted in Holzhausen am Ammersee, then in Munich and Starnberg. In 1939 he settled in Pasadena (California), where he lived until his death in 1954.

1973 Mercedes-Benz 250 CE (W114) Transmission: automaticMileage:93000Whilst the saloon versions of this model were somewhat sedate, the coupé's, with no b-pillar to interrupt the lines, was rather an elegant sight to behold. This design element came, unsurprisingly, from the pen of Paul Bracq world famous for a number of different Mercedes-Benz models as well as BMW gullwings, France's TGV and another a number of other significant cars the put him well and truly on the map. With the advent of this W114, he lowered the roof line and the seats to maintain the headroom. The windows wound down completely out of sight and the 2.5 litre; fuel-injected engine propelled this model effortlessly up to a perfectly respectable 115mph.Painted some two years ago in this stunning Bordeaux red with contrasting new black MB-Tex trim, the overall presentation is superb. It also benefits from new head rests and front armrest, not something that was originally specified when built. Something also to note is that it has benefits from electric windows front and rear, again not something that was standard at the time. Also included is a new sub-frame with new Bilstein shock absorbers all round as well as new discs and pads front and back. Also included is new sound proofing under the bonnet, A fully re-cored radiator and a light service and fresh 12 months MoT test certificate. I am advised that she drives extremely well indeed and the quality of the restoration all points towards a sound and well-presented example.Interested parties should note that due to engine damage in one of the bores, a fresh engine has been installed although the original.
