JOSEPH CHRISTIAN LEYENDECKER (1874-1951)
Saturday Evening Post cover, October 19, 1935
Going South
Oil on canvas
29in. x 22in. (sight size)
Signed lower right: JC Leyendecker

Leyendecker titled his painting "Going South." Although Leyendecker's early Saturday Evening Post covers illustrated stories inside the issue, the vast majority of his later Post covers had more general and conceptualized themes such as "Fall," "Christmas," and "New Years." This painting is reproduced on page 155 of J.C. Leyendecker by Michael Schau.

Leyendecker studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Acadamie Julian in Paris. This superb painting showcases Joseph Leyendecker's mastery of reflected light and color. The subject's shadowed forms are infused with a golden "fill light," so that the unlit hues never become dominated by stark value contrasts and lose their chromatic sparkle. This successful colorist approach to painting affected generations of illustrators and cartoonists for decades to come. The young Norman Rockwell was such an avid devotee of the Leyendecker Post covers, that, in Michael Schau's book, it was revealed, "Once Rockwell confided to a model, who had also worked for Leyendecker, that as a teenager in New Rochelle, New York, where the Leyendeckers later lived, Rockwell would take every opportunity just to catch a glimpse of Joe."

JULES-JOSEPH LEFEBVRE (French 1836-1911)
Springtime
Oil on canvas
55-1/2 x 34 inches (140.6 x 86.4 cm)
Signed lower right: Jules Lefebvre

While elegant young women remained Lefebvre's preferred subject throughout his long and distinguished career, his beautiful sitters remained sensitive to the dominant esthetic tastes of the day. In the late 1880s and 1890s, as the Symbolist and Classicist mode of artists such as Puvis de Chavannes or Gustave Moreau supplanted the Naturalist or exotic tendencies of earlier decades, Lefebvre's work shifted accordingly. The present work, most likely of this period, presents an allegorical figure of Springtime crowned with a wreath of pale blossoms and carrying fresh stems in the folds of her classical gown. Despite the idealized, symbolist subject, Lefebvre's commitment to painting from life is evident in the very specific, crisply painted flowers and foliage and in the translucent tones of flesh and fabric.

Jules-Joseph Lefebvre is best known as a romantic allegorical painter who specialized in genre scenes, portraits, and nudes. His father, a baker, encouraged his sons artistic career and sent him to Paris at age sixteen. There he studied with Léon Cogniet and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1852. He competed for the Prix de Rome, winning a second place in 1859 and first place in 1861 with his painting of The Death of Priam. While living in Rome he painted his first nude, a Bather, which was sent to Paris in 1863. During his stay in Italy he also painted many works with ancient subject matter, investing them with an elegant or amusing quality. When he returned to Paris, Lefebvre became disenchanted with the academic focus on working from memory and sought to paint directly from life. The result was a series of statuesque women, both nudes and draped, which passed from his studio under the guises of such characters as Pandora, Diana, Sappho, Mary Magdalene and Ophelia.

CHANA ORLOFF (French-Ukrainian 1878-1968)

Edition 2/8
Susse Fondeur Paris
Inscribed Ch Orloff 1924 2/8 and stamped

Provenance:
Crow Art Partnership collection (Dallas, Texas)

Russian born realist sculptor Chana Orloff lived the majority of her life in Paris where she trained and worked, while identifying strongly with her Eretz-Israel heritage. She ran in avant-garde circles, befriending artists such as Matisse, Picasso and Modigliani. In 1916 she married, but was widowed in 1918, left to raise her one year old son alone. When Paris was invaded during World War II Orloff fled to Switzerland with her son, returning to Paris after the war. She made many trips to Eretz-Israel and Israel throughout her life. Her first exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum was held in 1935, followed by a number of subsequent exhibitions and retrospectives.

Her sculptures reflect her personal trials and triumphs evidenced by the reoccurring themes of women, children and motherhood through the mediums of wood, bronze and stone. She also favored the subject of animals. Her mannered sculptures such as the above offered work, won her acclaim and a sound flow of commissions for portraits and monuments.
