Provenance:

Exhibition:

Laverne Nelson Black was born in Viola, Wisconsin. As a youngster he began to develop an interest in depicting western subjects--the result of his exposure to the Native American heritage of the Kickapoo River Valley where he grew up. He regularly associated with boys living on the local reservation. In his earliest pictures he used earth and vegetable colors as well as red keel, the soft stone native to the area that was often used by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes. In 1906, Black's family sold their hotel and restaurant business and moved to Chicago. Black attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts for two years, and during his final year there was awarded a scholarship. Following art school, he pursued a career as a newspaper illustrator in Chicago, Minneapolis and New York. During the summer months he would travel to the west to sketch on ranches and reservations. He created painting and sculpture, and he appears to have had some success selling his bronze figures of Native Americans and cowboys.

In the late 1920s, health problems demanded Black move to a warmer and drier climate, and he settled with his wife and children in Taos, New Mexico. In 1937, he and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he received a major commission from the Public Works Administration to paint six panels for the east lobby of the Phoenix Post Office. The series depicts the history of Arizona from the pioneer days thro

ROBERT HENRI (American 1865-1929)
Place In Paris (Place de Breteuil), circa 1895-1897
Oil on panel
10-1/2 x 13-3/4 inches (26.7 x 34.9 cm)
Signed lower left: Robert Henri

Literature:
Robert Henri Record Book, 257A

During the period 1890-1903, Henri principally painted cityscapes, landscapes, and marine paintings. His interest in painting outdoors began in the late 1880s during his summer months he spent in France. The experience led him to experiment with Impressionism and to paint broadly brushed landscapes which recorded the rich effects of color and the transient effects of light. By 1895, Henri began to adopt a style that was equally bold in paint handling but which emphasized chiaroscuro effects and depended upon a more somber range of color. This approach reflects his admiration for the works of Manet, Hals, Velasquez and Rembrandt as well as seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting and the nineteenth-century Barbizon School.

Place in Paris was painted sometime between the summer of 1895 and the autumn of 1897 while Henri was living at 49 Boulevard du Montparnasse. It was during this time that he formed a close association with the Canadian artist James Wilson Morrice. They would often go on sketching excursions together in Paris, in the surrounding suburbs of Saint Cloud and Charenton, and to Bois-le-Roi near Fontainebleau. They would sketch on small wood panels or, pochades, spontaneously recording the passing scene. Henri, referred to these works as 'memory sketches' or 'mental sketches,' and carried the panels together with brushes, palette, and a few tubes of oil in a small box that fit into his pocket. When creating such works in Paris he often situated himself at the table of an outdoor cafe (especially the Cafe Versailles in the Place de Rennes), and painted views featuring the surrounding street and crowd. He would cover the entire surface with a single tone, then freely work the subject into it.
