373Louis Rémy Mignot (American, 1831-1870) Rainbow over a Lake in the Hudson River Valley/Possibly Close of a Showery Day, Lake GeorgeMonogrammed and dated “M 62” l.c.Oil on canvas, 16 x 24 in. (40.6 x 61.0 cm), framed.Condition: Lined, craquelure, mounting bubbles l.l., minor retouch, subtle varnish inconsistencies. Exhibitions: Probably New York, Snedicor’s Gallery, May 27 to June 2, 1862, no. 15 (as Close of a Showery day. Lake George, 16 x 24 in.). Provenance: Probably at sale, New York, Henry H. Leeds & Co., June 2, 1862, no. 15 (as Close of a Showery day. Lake George, 16 x 24 in.); The estate of Elizabeth A. Straus, New York and Maine.

N.B. Hudson River School painter Louis Rémy Mignot was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He began his art studies in the Netherlands, where he met fellow student Eastman Johnson in 1851. By 1855 Mignot had returned to the United States and become active in the art world, exhibiting at the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. In 1858 he accompanied Frederick Church to South America, a trip that would be pivotal for his career. Later that year, he moved into the Tenth Street Studio alongside Church, Sanford Gifford, and other Hudson River School painters, and he was elected to the Century Association and to Associate membership in the National Academy of Design. Mignot also joined the “Artists Excursion” sponsored by the B & O Railroad to paint areas newly opened via the railroad.

Mignot’s early landscape paintings were criticized for showing too much European influence. He then refined his technique to be more in keeping with his Hudson River School colleagues, working towards a purely American style.1 The work at hand shows the quiet repose typical of Mignot’s mature style. There is a somber quality of the autumn landscape that may reflect the opening hostilities of the Civil War and the artist’s subsequent departure for Europe, where he would remain for the rest of his life.2

386John Leslie Breck (American, 1860-1899)

The River Epte, Giverny, c. 1887Signed “Breck” l.r., identified on a label from Vose Galleries of Boston on the frame backing.Oil on canvas, 18 1/8 x 22 in. (46.2 x 55.9 cm), framed.Condition: Craquelure, mild surface grime.

N.B. In the late 1880s, John Leslie Breck was drawn to Giverny and the Impressionism of Claude Monet. Along with Theodore Robinson, Theodore Wendel, and Blair Bruce, Breck was among the earliest American artists to settle in the picturesque village along the Seine. Breck entered Monet’s inner circle, and became an exponent of the “new painting.” His close association with Monet can be seen in pictures Breck completed of Monet’s houseboat and garden, which were shown in Breck’s first one-man show in Boston at the St. Botolph Club in 1890.1 Breck returned permanently to Boston in 1890 and continued to paint in this avant-garde style. His Impressionist canvases provoked lively response in Boston and New York.

Breck’s premature death in 1899 elicited a memorial exhibition at the St. Botolph Club, at which time the leadership and direction of the Boston school had been assumed by Edmund Tarbell. The quiet River Epte with its tree-lined banks was a favorite Giverny locale for painters. It was recorded many times by Monet; one well-known version, Bend in the River Epte, 1888, is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 1.

Provenance: Sotheby’s London, Modern British and Irish Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, Wednesday, November 24, 1993, Lot 23.

N.B. Jack Butler Yeats was one of the leading artists of Ireland in the 20th century. He began his career as an illustrator and turned to painting in oils c. 1906. Born in London, Yeats had strong family ties to Ireland and was raised in the home of his maternal grandparents in Sligo. He developed a great love for Ireland and delighted in painting its landscape and people. He was elected to the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1916. Yeats embodied his own belief that an artist must be part of the land and the life he painted. The Yeatses were an artistic and literary family: Jack’s father, John Butler Yeats, was a noted portraitist, the poet William Butler Yeats was Jack’s brother, and Jack’s wife, Mary “Cottie” Cottenham, was also an artist and illustrator. He counted among his friends Oskar Kokoschka and Samuel Beckett.

N.B. Born in Birnbaum, Lesser Ury moved to Berlin as youngster in 1871 and fell in love with the city. He studied art in Dusseldorf, Brussels, Paris, and Munich, where in 1893 he joined the Munich Secession, one of the several Secessions formed by progressive artists in Germany and Austria in the last years of the 19th century. In 1901 he returned to his beloved Berlin, where he exhibited with the Berlin Secession in 1915 and 1922. The city of Berlin provided a constant source of inspiration for Ury, who is best known for his urban landscapes under dark, cloud-filled or moonlit skies. It has been said that he painted the life of the city as no other artist of the time.

We wish to thank Dr. Sibylle Gross for kindly confirming the authenticity of this work. The painting will be included in her catalogue raisonné for the paintings by Lesser Ury, and a photo-certificate from Dr. Gross will accompany the lot.$80,000-120,000

Untitled [Welded Spray], c. 1970sUnsigned.Welded stainless steel rods, 30 3/4 x 8 x 5 in. (78.1 x 20.3 x 12.7 cm).Condition: Two bent rods.

N.B. Harry Bertoia is best known for his metal sculptures, furniture designs, and drawings/monoprints. In 1937 the promising young Italian-born artist entered the Cranbrook Academy for the Arts in Michigan. By 1939 he had impressed Eliel Saarinen, then director of Cranbrook, who asked Bertoia to start a department of metalworking at the school. After working on molded plywood furniture designs with Charles Eames from 1943 to 1946, Bertoia began experimenting further with metal sculpture. In 1950 Bertoia was invited to join the Knoll company, designers

and manufacturers of modern furniture, where he was given free rein to design whatever he wished—furniture or sculpture—leading to the Bertoia Diamond Chair in 1952 and many other iconic furniture designs. Bertoia also developed “Tonals,” or sounding sculptures, which became his passion and whose sounds he recorded in his remodeled barn in Pennsylvania. These led to his dandelion-form sculptures, consisting of hundreds of carefully welded thin rods in a spray around a center orb, resembling a dandelion gone to seed. The sculpture at hand relates to the dandelion works, this time with the rods contained at welded junctions.

We would like to thank Mary Thorp of the Harry Bertoia Research Project for her assistance cataloging this sculpture. A photo-certificate issued by the Harry Bertoia Research Project accompanies the lot.$10,000-15,000

Provenance: Through the family of the artist.

N.B. John Wesley’s Pop artistry illustrates the American psyche through comic-book-style imagery that often depicts intimate moments. Wesley’s unique approach to creation was shaped by his early draftsman work interpreting blueprints for the Northrop aircraft company. Filled with whimsy, Wesley’s works combine existing imagery from magazines and books that he traces and transforms into flat representations of a reality imparted with his fantastical vision.

Contemporaries Donald Judd and Dan Flavin were close friends of Wesley’s and proponents of his work. Judd played an integral role in creating the John Wesley Gallery housed in a former horse stable near the last of the six Dan Flavin buildings at the The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. $12,000-18,000

599Thelma Johnson Streat (African American, 1911-1959)

Medicine Drawing/A Mural StudyUnsigned.Ink and watercolor on paper, 15 3/8 x 15 1/2 in. (39.0 x 39.5 cm), framed.Condition: Rippling, handling creases, scattered areas of thinning to the paper, paper remnants and glue residue to the reverse.


N.B. Thelma Johnson Streat was an African American artist who achieved critical acclaim in the 1930s and 40s. Her works were collected by notable figures of the day, and in 1942 Alfred Barr selected Streat’s gouache Rabbit Man for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, making her the first African American woman to have this distinction.1

The watercolor at hand, probably from the 1940s, appears from its narrative content to relate to a mural. Streat is known to have done work for the WPA, under whose auspices 2,500 murals were made, however no surviving murals by her have yet been located. Streat was one of few documented African American women artists Diego Rivera permitted to help paint his murals, specifically with regard to the Pan American Unity mural for Art in Action Project in the Palace of Fine Arts at the Golden Gate Exposition in 1940, now in the collection of the City College of San Francisco. Rivera also wrote a highly complementary letter of introduction for Streat, describing her as recapturing the grace and purity of African and American native art.2 Among Streat’s extant works are several cartoons/studies for murals highlighting the contributions of African Americans to the war effort, industry, and medicine.

An undated and unsourced newspaper clipping found in the Streat family archives shows one published mural study, with the caption, “The Negro Woman in Industry, Portland sponsored, and the third in a series of murals which Mrs. Streat is painting as part of a children’s visual education program. Color reproductions of the murals, depicting the Negro’s contribution to manpower and wealth of the nation, will be circulated throughout schools and libraries of the country.”3

The work at MOMA, titled Rabbit Man, is gouache on board measuring 6 5/8 x 4 7/8 in.2. Ibid.3.
