Yousuf Karsh was an Armenian-Canadian portrait photographer. He was born on December 23, 1908, in Mardin, Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), and passed away on July 13, 2002, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Karsh is widely regarded as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. Karsh's career took off when he immigrated to Canada in 1925 and started working as an apprentice to his uncle, George Nakash, who was a photographer. In the late 1930s, Karsh established his own studio in Ottawa, where he would spend most of his career. Karsh became renowned for his ability to capture the essence and character of his subjects in his portraits. He had a talent for putting his subjects at ease and was known for his meticulous attention to lighting, composition, and detail. His iconic portraits often featured dramatic lighting and posed his subjects in a way that revealed their inner strength and personality. One of Karsh's most famous photographs is the portrait of Winston Churchill taken in 1941. The image, which captured Churchill's steely determination, became an enduring symbol of the British leader during World War II. Karsh's portfolio includes portraits of numerous other influential figures, such as Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, Martin Luther King Jr., Pablo Picasso, and many more. Karsh received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including the Order of Canada, the Medal of the British Institute of Professional Photographers, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the United States.

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundation for the transition from 19th-century art to the revolutionary styles of the 20th century. Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, Cézanne's artistic career began in the mid-19th century, and he played a crucial role in the development of modern art.Cézanne's early works were influenced by Impressionism, but he eventually moved away from its emphasis on capturing fleeting moments and light effects. He developed a unique style that focused on geometric forms, spatial relationships, and the manipulation of color and perspective.Some of Cézanne's well-known paintings include "Mont Sainte-Victoire," "The Card Players," and "Still Life with Apples." His landscapes and still lifes are celebrated for their exploration of form, structure, and the use of color planes, which would become foundational elements of Cubism and other modern art movements.Cézanne's approach to painting had a profound impact on artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who later developed Cubism. Despite facing initial rejection and criticism, Cézanne's work gained recognition in the later years of his life, and he is now considered one of the most influential figures in the history of art. His innovative techniques and emphasis on form over color had a lasting impact on the trajectory of modern art.

Alejandro Jesus Obregon Roses (Spanish/Columbian, 1920-1992). Acrylic on board painting titled "Condor Chico (Small Condor)" depicting an abstracted Andean condor, 1968. Signed along the lower left. Titled and dated along a label affixed to the verso.Provenance: Center for Inter-American Relations Art Gallery, New York, 1970; Private Minnesota Collection.Lot Essay:Alejandro Obregon was born in Spain but spent the majority of his life in Columbia. His early years were spent in Barranquilla, Columbia as well as Liverpool, England. His early artistic career was influenced by Picasso, Goya, and Graham Sutherland. While he was influenced by European artists, his subject matter often focused on Andean imagery including condors, guitars, and bulls.The condor, a subject to which Obregon returned often, has appeared in nearly 50 canvases during his career. His first condor was painted in 1959. The motif referred not only to the coat of arms of Columbia but to the idea of the might of nature, the ideal of liberty, and the power of vitality.In the 1950s, he became associated with a period of artistic renewal in Columbia. Five artists, dubbed the "Big Five," came to be icons of this time. They included Obregon, Enrique Grau, Fernando Botero, Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar, and Edgar Negret.Height: 8 1/2 in x width: 10 1/2 in.

Charles Biederman, born Karel Joseph Biederman (American, 1906-2004). Painted aluminum 'Structurist Relief' sculpture titled "Untitled (#2)" depicting a three-dimensional geometric abstract composition in bright colors against a solid white background, 1989. Signed, dated 1989 and 1991, and titled along the verso. The artwork comes with a custom-built crate for shipping.Provenance: Private Minnesota Collection.Lot Essay:Born to Czech parents in Cleveland in 1906, Biederman was involved in the American art scene for his entire life. He briefly studied at the Cleveland Art Institute and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) before dropping out and moving to New York. It was there that he met and was included in shows with other influential artists of the time including Alexander Calder, John Ferren, George L.K. Morris, and Charles Green Shaw.For nine months from 1936-37 Biederman studied in Paris. It was here that he met and was influenced by leading artists including Picasso, Mondrian, and Miro. He was initially influenced by the works of Fernand Leger before moving away from his style and towards totally abstract, geometric compositions. The movements of Cezanne, Post-Impressionism, and Cubism informed the evolution of his style. And while he started out painting, he abandoned two-dimensional for more sculptural works by 1937.In 1941 he married Mary Moore Biederman and in the following year he moved to Red Wing, Minnesota, where he would spend the rest of his life. In the 1950s, he created the term "Structurism" to help define his works from Constructivism and De Stijl. Many prominent collections around the world contain Structurist Reliefs similar to the artwork offered here including The Whitney Art Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Tate, London.In 2004, Beiderman died at the age of 98 and his estate was subsequently given to the Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities campus. They have organized traveling exhibitions of his works.Artwork; height: 43 in x width: 32 in x depth: 10 1/2 in. Crate; height: 55 1/4 in x width: 43 3/4 in x depth: 19 in.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). Etching and aquatint on wove paper titled "Bande dessinee," from the 347 Series, 1968. Pencil signed along the lower right; numbered 18/50 along the lower left. Printed by Aldo and Piero Crommelynck and published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris.Provenance: Private Connecticut Collection, 1991; Private Minnesota Collection.Reference: Bloch 1491.Lot Essay:Pablo Picasso stands as one of the most renowned and prolific artists of the 20th century, whose innovative and groundbreaking work revolutionized the course of Western art. Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso demonstrated exceptional artistic talent from a young age and received formal training at various art academies. His early works, influenced by Symbolism and the Blue and Rose Periods, showcased his versatility and mastery of traditional techniques.Picasso's career underwent a seismic shift with the advent of Cubism, a movement he co-founded alongside Georges Braque. Cubism shattered conventional notions of perspective and representation, presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously and breaking objects down into geometric forms. Picasso's seminal work "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) marked a turning point in art history, foreshadowing the radical innovations that would follow.Throughout his prolific career, Picasso continued to push artistic boundaries, experimenting with diverse styles and mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, and collage. His involvement with Surrealism and his exploration of African and Iberian art further enriched his artistic vocabulary.Notably, Picasso's "347 Series," produced in 1968, is a testament to his relentless experimentation. This series comprises 347 etchings created within a span of just seven months - from March 16 to October 8, 1968 - showcasing Picasso's extraordinary output and his ability to innovate even in his later years.
