ALBERT BIERSTADT (American 1830-1902)
Hunter in the White Mountains Near Glen House, 1869
Oil on paper
19in.x 13.75in
Inscribed on verso: White Mts. Near Glen House 1869
Provenance: private collection, upstate New York

Best known for his images of the West and of Yosemite, renowned landscape painter Albert Bierstadt also had a special attachment to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He visited the area several times over the course of his career between 1852 and 1886, and created some of his most noteworthy paintings there, including The Lake at Franconia Notch, White Mountains (Newark Museum), Moat Mountain (Currier Gallery of Art), and The Emerald Pool, 1870 (Chrysler Museum of Art), a work Bierstadt considered to be his finest.

Bierstadt's first documented trip to the White Mountains was in 1852, just prior to his departure to study and travel in Europe. He returned to the White Mountains in September 1860, and The Cosmopolitan Art Journal noted that Bierstadt went "into the White Mountain region to sketch, and to experiment photographically, along with his brother, a photographist of eminence." It was this trip that prompted the art periodical The Crayon to praise Bierstadt for "a series of views and studies taken in the White Mountains." Bierstadt returned to the region in September of 1861, staying for approximately three weeks, and in 1862, he returned again and remained for much of the summer. The following winter, the Leader noted, "nearly an entire wall of his studio is filled with studies and sketches from his White Mountain sojourn." Bierstadt traveled to the White Mountains in the fall of 1869, when the present work was painted, and again during the summer months of 1874.

Bierstadt was not only a prolific artist, but also an avid hunter and sportsman. His affinity with nature no doubt inspired his choice of artistic subjects. Throughout his career, Bierstadt traveled

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.

LOUIS LUPAS (American)
Portrait of 35th U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, c.1961
Pastel on paper
28.5in. x 20in. (sight size). Framed
Signed and dated lower left: Lupas, 1961

Louis Lupas is widely acclaimed for his pastel portraits of Presidents, politicians, and other high-profile figures. Lupas first honed his drawing skills as an artist for the Herald Tribune's Theatre section. In the 1950s, Senator Barry Goldwater convinced Louis Lupas to visit Washington D.C., where he was soon solidly engaged creating portraits of high society. Although Mr. Lupas may have stayed down in Washington on occasion when he was working on portraits of Presidents and Senators, he always lived and maintained a residence in New York City on Riverside Drive during that time period. Many of Lupas' portraits were drawn from life, during portrait sittings. This stunning pastel drawing was drawn from life (Kennedy posed for him while President), and captures the vitality and charisma that made President John F. Kennedy one of America's most inspiring Presidents. Lupas' pastel strokes are bold, vigorous, and direct; they create an powerful portrait of JFK, complete with his hallmark blue eyes!

Douglas, which now hangs in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. He was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1861. Saintin returned to France sometime around 1863 and he died in Paris in 1894. He was awarded the prestigious Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. His work is housed in the Corcoran Gallery of Art and in France in the Musée de Nice, Musée de Saint-Brieuc.
