Carl, Chaim Soutine, London, Parkstone International, 2015, illustrated. Chaïm Soutine’s La liseuse endormie, Madeleine Castaing, now offered for auction, the portrait of a close friend, the collector and the artist’s patron, Madame Madeleine Castaing (1894–1992), is one of the artist’s most expressive portraits. It was painted in the second half of the 1930s, when the relationship between Soutine and his model — who was to become a wellknown bohemian antique dealer, interior designer and was, according to Picasso, “the most alluring” woman in Paris — was already so friendly and enduring that it did not presuppose the traditional official distance between the artist and his patron. They first met in the 1920s, when a wealthy couple Madeleine and Marcellin Castaing — lovers of painting and passionate collectors, who had already a collection, which included works by Modigliani, Rouault, Picasso, Gris and Léger — saw some of Soutine’s works and began to track them down. The Castaings’ support, which remained with Soutine until his dying day, gradually brought them closer together, and after the death of Léopold Zborowski, the artist’s long-time dealer, Madeleine Castaing personally looked after Soutine’s affairs. From 1930 to 1935, the artist spent his summers at the Castaings’ home on their Lèves estate near Chartres. It was here that he painted his masterpieces Woman Entering the Water (1931; after Rembrandt’s Woman Bathing), Siesta (1934), Child in Blue and Chartres Cathedral (1934). Madeleine Castaing posed repeatedly for Soutine both in his workshop near the Parc Montsouris and on her estate. Soutine trusted her implicitly, and she alone was allowed to observe his work in progress. As she once put it, “I am the only person he could bear when he was painting and even when he was pondering the idea for a picture. I was the only person whom he asked for advice about a model or subject.” It comes as no surprise that it is one of the portraits of Madeleine Castaing, dating from 1928 (The Metropolitan Museum of Art), that marked the pinnacle of the artist’s portrait painting. She was later to recall: “I would often sit for him. I could not let slip a single unnecessary word or say anything that disturbed his thinking. A simple phrase might infuriate him. I remember his reaction when, without having the slightest wish to belittle his talent, my husband was trying to find some spiritual connection between one of his latest works and Renoir. Was Soutine aggrieved, or did he sense some affinity himself? But in his anger, he tore up his work anyway.” The main feature of the artist’s interpretation of the image of Madeleine Castaing in this portrait is her almost grotesque appearance. Having dozed off while reading a book, she has let her head fall onto the cushioned edge of the couch, possibly in the blue sitting room at her Lèves estate, which was commandeered by the Nazis in 1940, and has pressed the book to her face on an unconscious impulse. We can see neither the female figure nor the couch as a whole, but only this strange viewing angle in a very narrow vertical section. The upward motion of the disproportionate arms and the pointed nose make the face of the sleeping woman resemble a frightened bird. A large nose, eyebrows raised in surprise, wide, red, half-parted lips and huge eyes covered by bulging eyelids stand out on her thin, highly expressive and temperamental face, seen in profile with taut, smooth cheekbones. Hidden drama and nervous tension are also encapsulated in the canvas’s colour scheme: they cry out from the striking juxtaposition of the intense dark-blue, white, pink and yellow colours. The fair, straw-coloured turmoil of Madeleine’s hair, tossed back beyond the couch, is echoed by the yellowness of her left arm with its dark-blue ropelike veins. The deliberately distorted proportions of the vaguely delineated real-life features, the bright blotches on the face, the grimace of a troubled sleep and the actual angular nature of the composition give rise to a feeling of overabundant expressiveness. One can sense a poignancy and insecurity in the model. The spontaneity of execution, the outward passionate improvisation and the chromatic colouristic movement of the background, all augmented by the vividly expressed individuality of the lady’s appearance, make the portrait so memorable and significant. La liseuse endormie, Madeleine Castaing provides a clear illustration of why the art-loving Madeleine Castaing, who had an extravagant taste, her own inimitable style and artistic flair, particularly cherished the portraits of her that were painted by Soutine. It is precisely when looking at this canvas that one can appreciate the accuracy of Élie Faure’s judgment of the artist, when he spoke of his “supernatural expressiveness of visible life”.

Albert Lebourg (French 1849-1928)Route de village, Hondouville-sur-Iton.  Oil on canvas.  Signed lower right37.5 x 64 cm.(14 3/4 x 25 1/4 in.) The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Monsieur Francois Lespinasse.The French Impressionist and landscape painter Albert Lebourg was born on 1 February 1849, in Monfort-sur-Risle. Lebourg originally started his career as an architect, before becoming a student at the École des Beaux Arts et l¬ademie de Peinture et de Dessins in Rouen. After meeting the famous collector Lapelier in 1872, he taught drawing at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Algiers where he met Jean Seignemartin, a painter of the Lyon School. Under Seignemartin's influence, Lebourg's palette lightened and his paintings grew increasingly Impressionistic in style.In 1878, Lebourg returned to France and became a student at the studio of Jean Paul Laurens. He first exhibited with Monet, Sisley, Renoir, and Pissarro on Montmartre Boulevard in 1878. In 1893 Lebourg became a member of the Société des Artistes Français and painted mainly in Rouen and Auvergne, as well as along the banks of the Seine. He spent twelve years between 1895 and 1907 travelling aroun Europr including the Netherlands, England, Switzerland and Belgium.Lebourg's main 'Impressionistic subjects' were landscapes; he became fascinated by the different lighting conditions over the course of a day capturing the momentary and transient effect of sunlight in the open air (en plein air) rather than in a studio from sketches. This approach was influenced by Claude Monet and the circle of other Paris-based artists of the 1860s.Lebourgh had a retrospective of his work at the Galerie Georges Petit, Paris in 1918. Three years later in 1921, after a stroke which partially paralysed him, he ceased his career and moved back to Rouen where he died seven years later.The present work is a typical example of Lebourg’s interplay between colour and light - it was painted in Hondouville-sur Iton, a small village between Louviers and Evreux (Eure) circa fifty kilometres from Rouen.

Roderic O'Conor 1860-1940NUDE SEATED ON A CHAISE LONGUEOil on board, 24" x 19 3/4" (61 x 50 cm), Atelier 'O'CONOR' stamp verso.Provenance: Private Collection, LondonRoderic O'Conor fascination with the female nude began in earnest after he left Brittany for good in 1904 and moved to Paris. The spacious studio he rented at 102 rue du Cherche-midi in Montparnassse became the setting for countless explorations of this time-honoured subject. The present example, with sumptuous,reds, pink, oranges and yellows recreates something of the effect of a boudoir, the model being captured as if she is just about to rise from nher couch in order to get dressed. The sense of immediacy is reinforced by the cropping of the figure's feet and hair from the top and bottom edges of this picture, with the result that her position in space is very close to the plane of the picture. The intimate setting and unselfconscious pose of this nude relate it closely to other interiors dating from O'Conors intimiste period, 1905-11. Inspiration for this body of work was provided by the late nudes of Renoir (compare for example the latter's Bather Sitting on a Rock (Baigneuse) of 1892; private collection, Paris), as well as Pierre Bonnards radiant and seemingly unposed depictions of his wife. O'Cono sought, like Bonnard, to create unpretentious pictures of women in intimate settings, engaged in everyday activities such as reading, resting, arranging their hair or fastening a stocking. An early example of 1905 entitled Repos, showing a clothed model asleep, was bought from O'Conor by the famous Russsian collector of modern European art, Ivan Morosov, and is now in the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.The features of the young woman seen here can be found in a number of O'Conor's paintings from this period. He would normally start work by making rapid drawings of the model in a range of different poses - an approach that allowed him to establish an understanding of her movements and proportions. I Nude seated on a chaise longue the model has been placed left of centre, seated on the edge od a divan (a favourite studio prop), with three Chinese vases located in the background to lend an air of cultured refinement. The model's expression, as so often in O'Conor's work, is contemplative and introspective, rather than overtly glamorous or sensual. The figure is lit by daylight entering the picture from the right, throwing the left side of her figure in shadow and thereby enhancing the illusion of rouned, three dimensional forms. By paving careful attention to the overall balance of the light and shade, O'Conor demonstrates his awareness of traditinal themes and approaches, simultaneously in this painting was one of his favourite colours, inevitably calling Renoir to mind once again.whereas the seated nude on the front of this picture is a highley considered statement that must have demanded frequent sittings of the model over a prolonged period, reclining nude on the reverse is a spontaneous and vibrant sketch, painted in one sitting. The two contrasting treatments show how the extent to which O'Conor was prepare to adapt his approach, working rapidly alla prima in order to d=seize a pose or light effect before it was lost foe ever, while at the the same time producing pictures with a much higher degree of 'finish', perhaps with a exhibition in mind. Even in more developed works, however, the artist still liked to retain a degree of spontaneity: compare foe example the bold patch of creamy paint on the seated nude's left shoulder, with the incredibly delicate, feathered brushstrokes used in her right cheek and neck.We are greatful to Jonathan Benington for kindly preparing this catalogue entry.

He copied the great paintings of the Louvre, and also drew on Victor Hugo and Delacroix as his inspirations. He was drawn eventually to landscape art and came to part of the group known as the Barbizon School. He encountered Theodore Rousseau in the forest at Fontainebleu and, holding the younger man in high esteem, admitted his respect for the artist and came to be taught by him. He exhibited many times at the Paris Salon, is exhibited today in many museums including the Louvre and the Wallace Collection, and was praised by Millet and Renoir. He was awarded the rank of Chevalier of the Legion d'honneur in 1851.

The artist announces 'I am very unhappy because I cannot leave my two most important landscape studies high and dry' and continues to explain '…I'm waiting for two or three days of sunshine. If I could hang them, I'd be right back', requesting that his friend wait a little longer and advising that as soon as the weather improves, which he anticipates won't take longer than a week, he will let them know which boat he is taking. Renoir adds, 'It's very difficult for me to inform you because it can be beautiful tomorrow. It's even probable. I would like it to rain because five minutes after the weather would be fine but only a few droplets are looming and that's it. The changes are swift, so I can't tell you anything' and concludes his letter 'I intend to take the boat to Port-Vendres on Sunday. There are no others. The crossing takes less time, but the railway never ends because its not like from Marseille; there is no express line. On Thursday I will write to you and hope to give you more specific information'. A good letter for its references to Renoir's paintings and further illustrating the difficulties painters face with the elements. A few very small, extremely minor chips to the lower edges, causing a little paper loss, although not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG
