James Lowry Cogar, the nationally renowned

preservationist and first curator of Colonial

Williamsburg. Cogar’s other notable projects

include the 1799 Octagon House in Washington,

D.C. and the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, KY.

Cogar also served as an advisor to the National

Park Service on the preservation and restoration

of various historic sites.

Collins’ granddaughter, Jane Aurell Menton,

published a charming homage to her family’s

ancestral home, The Grove: A Florida Home

Through Seven Generations. In the foreword

United States Senator Bob Graham, Governor

of Florida, 1979-1989, writes: “No other

residence in our state has experienced so many

events and personalities that have influenced the

Florida that we know today. The long sought

acquisition of The Grove as a Florida historical site,

subject to the life estates of Governor and Mrs.

Collins, was one of the proudest accomplishments

of my Governorship.” Reference: Menton, Jane Aurell. The Grove: A Florida Home Through Seven Generations. Tallahassee: Sentry Press, 1998, pgs. 7 and 11.

Neal Auction Company is pleased to

present the contents of the Grove, the

home of Florida’s 3rd and 5th Territorial

Governor Richard Keith Call, and of

Florida’s 33rd Governor and Mrs. LeRoy

Collins.

The Grove was built in the 1820s by

Governor Call, a protegé of Andrew

Jackson, who led the Florida Militia to

victory over the Seminoles in the 2nd and

3rd Battles of Wahoo Swamp. The Grove

would remain in Call’s family for

generations, passing in 1942 to his great-

granddaughter, Mary Call Darby Collins, and her

husband, Governor LeRoy Collins.

Governor and Mrs. Collins undertook the restoration

and furnishing of The Grove with the advice of

The Grove

“Standing resolute through struggle and triumph, The Grove is a tangible testament to civic purpose, inner strength, and family pride.”

“Purity of original design and careful restoration meld the past and present into a seamless pattern that stirs the imagination and punctuates the

Grove’s poignant and inspiring history.”

$6000/8000

Note: This Baroque portrait depicts Armand-Gaston-Maximilien, prince de Rohan-Soubise, who was made Bishop of Strasbourg in 1704 and Cardinal of Strasbourg in 1712. Cardinal de Rohan-Soubise came from a long line of nobility, including his father, the Comte de Rochefort and the first Prince de Soubise, his grandfather, the Duc de Montbazon and the Prince de Guéméné, and his great-grandfather, the Duc de Sully. He was also the uncle of Cardinals Armand de Rohan-Soubise-Ventadour and Louis-César-Constantin de Rohan-Guéméné-Montbazon, and the great-uncle of Cardinal Louis-René-Edouard de Rohan-Guéméné, all of whom succeeded him as Bishop of Strasbourg.

In this portrait, as in those by Hyacinth Rigaud (1659-1743) and Pierre Drevet (1663-1738), Cardinal de Rohan-Soubise wears the red silk and white fur winter cappa magna of the Catholic Church, along with the Grand Cross of the Order of the Holy Spirit. The handling of the different textures such as fur, lace, and silk in this portrait calls to mind the brushwork in the paintings of Nicolas de Largillière. Similarly, the gestures of Cardinal de Rohan-Soubise’s hands greatly resemble those of de Largillière in his renowned “Study of Hands,” now at the Musée du Louvre.

Provenance: Descended in the family of the present owner.

Note: ‘Kraak porselein’ is a term that applies to Chinese blue and white porcelain produced from the Wanli reign (1563-1620) until about 1640, which was exported to Europe. The name derives from the Dutch and refers to the cargo ships, or carracks, in which the porcelain was transported.

Late 16th and early 17th century ‘kraak’ porcelain was appreciated abroad as a marvel of Chinese ingenuity and it was frequently featured in Dutch still life paintings as an example of an exotic foreign luxury. An example of a painting which includes a very similar, small barbed rim ‘kraak’ type bowl with spotted deer design is “Still Life with Chinese Bowl and Vase of Flowers” by Isaac Soreau (Dutch, 1604-after 1638), conserved at the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, acc. no. 37.1902. Porcelain bowls similar to the one offered here are housed in museum collections throughout the world , including the Princessehof Museum, Leeuwarden, Netherlands, acc. no 339, and the British Museum, London, acc. no.1973.0726.378.

$6000/8000

Note: The distinctive crest and monogram employed in the decoration of this service is indicative of the illustrious Brown Family of Rhode Island. The service was most likely commissioned by John Carter Brown (1797-1874) of Providence, RI to mark his marriage to Sophia Augusta Brown, née Browne, as their initials are intertwined in each monogrammed cartouche. An avid patron of the arts, Brown spent many years traveling throughout Europe, during which time this service was probably commissioned.

As the son of Nicholas Brown, Jr. (1769-1841), the renowned American commercial leader for whom Brown University was named, John was made partner in the family commerce trade company of Brown & Ives in 1832. Upon the death of his father in 1841, John inherited management of the company as well as the family seat, a Georgian-style mansion originally built for Joseph Nightingale in 1792. The Nightingale-Brown House is a National Historic Landmark and presently houses the headquarters of the John Nicholas Brown Center and Brown University’s program in public humanities.Reference: Available: www.brown.edu/Research/JNBC/our_building.php, April 21, 2010.

388. A Pair of American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Méridiennes, mid-19th c., attributed to John Henry Belter, New York, in the pattern known as “Fountain Elms”, each with cornucopia, floral, fruit and nut carved crest, scrolling stiles, serpentine backs, cabriole legs, casters, “original state”, height 38 7/8 in., width 38 7/8 in., depth 24 3/4 in.

$30000/50000

Provenance: Furnishing John Breckenridge Castleman’s (1841-1918) Louisville, Kentucky area mansion, Unulata, then installed in the Manger Penthouse of the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City, by descent to the consignor.

Note: High-style Rococo Revival furniture such as the méridiennes seen here had particular historic appeal to plantation owners, like Castleman, in the Mississippi

and Ohio River valleys. The style simultaneously evoked 18th-century estate living and robust 19th-century innovation that appealed to agrarian society.

The crest on this pair of méridiennes relates to those on parlor furniture from J.H. Belter installed in the drawing room of Fountain Elms, Utica, New York, now conserved by the Munson Williams Proctor Institute (acc. 59.199).

Rosewood méridiennes attributed to Belter, from the Service Collection and the Brindley Collection respectively, and identical to those seen here, are illustrated in Dubrow, American Furniture of the 19th c., p. 114-115.Reference: D’Ambrosio. Masterpieces of American Furniture from the Munson Williams Proctor Institute. p. 20, fig. 16 and p. 78, fig 24.

$6000/8000

Note: A number of carved details on this table are similar to those on many documented pieces by Alexander Roux: the gadrooned top is similar to that on a walnut center table attributed to Roux from the library of Nevada Governor Jewett William Adams, sold in these rooms as lot 286 on February 3, 2007; the deeply carved shell cartouche on the apron is similar to that on a rosewood dresser bearing Roux’s stenciled label sold as lot 538 on October 4, 1989; the “C” scroll cabriole legs with tight scroll terminals are similar to those on the Gov. Adams table mentioned above, and a rosewood library table attributed to Roux and illustrated in Dubrow. American Furniture of the 19th c., 1840-1880, p. 134.

The opposing “C” scroll cabriole legs on this table are also similar to those on two important rosewood etageres by Roux, one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 1971.219.220) and the other with the High Museum, Atlanta (acc. 1981.1000.66).Reference: Davidson and Stillinger.

$5000/7000

Note: Abbott Fuller Graves and his family began vacationing in Florida as early as 1910. He was an avid traveler, painting in many exotic locations such as Paris, Bermuda, and Cuba. His Florida scenes, however, are intriguing due to the subject matter. Instead of the still life, landscape, or genre scenes that Graves customarily painted in his hometown of Kennebunkport, Maine, he seems to embrace the historicism of the sights of Florida, focusing on the people observing the monuments, gardens, and other places of interest. The result of this choice of subject matter is a more spontaneous technique, which captures the figures in the midst of their activities. The scene represented here beautifully depicts three people visiting St. Augustine’s fort along the Guana River, which opens into the Atlantic Ocean.

433. William Henry Buck (Norwegian/New Orleans, 1840-1888), “The Hotel at Spanish Fort on Bayou St. John”, oil on canvas, signed and dated “’79” lower right, 12 in. x 20 1/4 in., in a period giltwood frame.

$150000/250000

Provenance: Descended in the family of John Lang and Henrietta Darling Lang, Scottish émigrés to New Orleans in the 19th century.

An image of this painting to be included in an upcoming publication by the Louisiana State University Press.

Note: Bayou St. John, the passage used to transport goods from Lake Ponchartrain to New Orleans, was a crucial waterway for bringing commodities to the city from other trade areas such as Mobile, Biloxi, and the Mississippi River. As an easy route to the city, it also posed a threat; a fort was erected near Lake Ponchartrain to protect the area from invasion. The first fort was built in 1701 by the French colonists who recognized the importance of the trade route before New Orleans was even built. After the New Orleans area passed into Spanish control in 1763, plans for a new and more protective fort were created; this fort was built in 1770 by Francisco Luis Hector, Baron de Carondelet and it was named Fort San Juan del Bayou.

Although the fort was decommissioned in 1823, its site has since been used over the years for various purposes. Harvey Elkins, who purchased the land in 1823, built a

hotel on the land in 1824-25. John Slidell, upon purchasing the land and the hotel, renamed it the Spanish Fort Hotel. The building was restored in 1874 and in 1878-79, passed into the hands of Moses Schwartz, who developed the land further. An amusement park, several restaurants, a casino, dancing pavilions, and an alligator pond were added to the fort’s grounds, making it a popular tourist destination. Many of the images of the fort from this time period were captured by photographer George Francois Mugnier. The hotel existed until 1906, when a fire destroyed many of the buildings. Today the brick walls of the fort’s ruins can still be seen along the West bank of Bayou St. John.

William Henry Buck’s romantic and atmospheric depictions of the Louisiana landscape are noted for their moss-laden live oak trees and views of rustic cabins by the water. He accomplished a recognizable compositional style which makes his work discernable from that of his contemporaries. Interestingly, despite his

subjects being unmistakably of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, very few are of specific, identifiable locations. The work offered, “The Hotel at Spanish Fort on Bayou St. John,” belongs to a very small important group of paintings whose buildings and physical locations can be identified. Among the others is a view of Bay St. Louis, formerly in the collection of A. Hays Town, which depicts a Greek Revival house and the shore of the bay. “The Hotel at Spanish Fort on Bayou St. John” is an ambitiously complex work which depicts the building, grounds, brick wall, bridge, embankment and boats in exquisite detail.

$4000/6000

436. A West Indies Carved Mahogany Buffet, 19th c., the single board top with rounded corners and molded edge above two drawers and two doors with flush panels, fiche hinges, one original escutcheon and the original brass lock, interior of two shelves, the back constructed with large mahogany panel, shaped apron with twin lobe return, on cabriole legs, pegged and tenoned construction throughout, height

53 3/4 in., width 61 1/8 in., depth 23 1/2 in.

$3000/5000

Note: As scholar Jack Holden observes, the use of flush panels on the doors of case pieces, such as the example here, is indicative of cabinet-making traditions in Saint-Malo, France and Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), that were transmitted by Haitian émigrés at the turn of the 19th century to different locations in North America including southern Louisiana and Philadelphia.

Interestingly, the brass box lock and two-lobe return on this buffet are also seen on known Louisiana case pieces, notably a mahogany and cypress armoire from Bocage Plantation, sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 122 on December 8, 2007, now privately held. A two-lobe return also appears on a West Indies mahogany armoire descended in the de la Vergne family of Louisiana and now in the Stromeyer collection.

The collection of Philadelphia philanthropist Stephen Girard (1750-1831) includes a mahogany buffet with hinges, escutcheons and door panels related to those seen here, and was likely made by Saint-Dominguan immigrant cabinet makers Jean-Baptiste Laurent and Charles Domballe.Reference: Holden. “Echoes of an Island Past: Flush Panel Armoires in Saint-Domingue and Louisiana,” Southern Quarterly (Spring 2007), p. 123.

437. Richard Clague (French/New Orleans, 1821-1873), “Cow Grazing on the North Shore, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana”, oil on canvas, signed “R. CLAGUE” lower right, 16 in. x 20 in., in an antique frame.

$80000/120000

Provenance: Vero Beach, Florida estate.

Note: Richard Clague was the father of the great tradition of Louisiana landscape. His highly detailed depictions of the bayous, cabins and farms of the region inspired a whole generation of artists. A review of Clague’s work suggests that the Louisiana farm is among his favorite subjects. Numerous paintings including an oak tree, farm buildings, grazing cattle and a large sky feature prominently in his best works. The painting offered here, “Cow Grazing on the North Shore, St. Tammany”, depicts a grazing cow at the end of a fence line, intimating the edge of the farm, with thick woods depicted in the background. In this work, Clague employs a slightly different perspective than is commonly seen in his paintings, with a curving stream and bank ending in the middle of the composition and into the dense tree line. The light and bright sky brought close to the tree line reinforces the intimacy of Clague’s distinctive view.

$15000/25000

Provenance: Descended in the Ellis/Denis/Beauvais-Decuir family, New Orleans and Pointe Coupée, Louisiana.

Note: The only daughter of Antoine Decuir and Louise Suzanne Antoinette de Beauvais, Antoinette Decuir inherited her father’s estate in 1829 at the age of three. The land was managed by her mother and half-brother, Adolphe Tanneret, until Antoinette came of age. The vast estate was comprised of three large plantations, including River Lake Plantation, as well as their contents. Antoinette’s property increased further upon her marriage to Arthur Denis in 1850. Their eldest daughter, Louise, married Charles Parlange in 1883 and resided at Parlange Plantation, where a portrait of Louise Suzanne Antoinette de Beauvais, attributed to Jacques Amans, is indicated as being present in1975. That portrait, which is illustrated in the Colonial Dames’ Louisiana Portraits book, bears a great resemblance to the present lot, each portrait having sleek, dark hair, large eyes, and an oval face. Antoinette and Arthur Denis lived in New Orleans from as early as 1860 until their deaths.Reference: Bruns, Mrs. Thomas Nelson Carter. Louisiana Portraits.

$7000/10000

Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter.

Note: Catherine Eskridge Eatman became a good friend of John McCrady after his family moved to Oxford, Mississippi in 1928; together they attended art classes held by a local teacher. McCrady painted her portrait in 1932, the year he left the University of Mississippi to move to New Orleans and enroll in the New Orleans Art School. This early McCrady reveals elements of what would become his signature style.

Catherine Eatman attended John McCrady’s art school in New Orleans while her husband was fighting in World War II, and maintained a life-long friendship with McCrady and his wife. From 1965 to 1974 Eatman was the Director of the Mary Buie Museum in Oxford, MS. In 1966, during her tenure, the museum held an exhibition of McCrady’s late work. A letter to McCrady from a friend gives the following impression of the exhibit and of Mrs. Eatman: “Hope to give the show more centrated(sic) attention tomorrow, for the museum is open Sunday afternoon. There was so much conversation with Mrs. Eatman who is, however, not nearly as devouring as her almost alarming name suggests. She drove me around the town and miles into the country - to me purely McCrady country - to see the farm where they are building a house.”

1/2 in., framed.

$4000/6000

Provenance: Retirement gift from C & S Bank, Albany, Georgia to the consignor.

Note: Athos Menaboni’s meticulously rendered depictions of birds follow the tradition of the great American naturalist, John James Audubon. Born in Italy, Menaboni studied at the Royal Academy in Florence before making his way to New York City, where he joined the bohemian community of writers and artists in Greenwich Village. In the 1920s he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he married and

eventually opened a studio. Unique to Menaboni’s work is his use of Japanese nakora wood panels, which enhance his paintings with an inherent texture that resembles rippling water.Reference: Taylor, Barbara Cable, The Life and Art of Athos Menaboni, Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 2001.

$2000/4000

Provenance: Estate of the artist; descended in the family.

Note: Born in New Orleans, George Henry Clements worked in a cotton brokerage, but became increasingly interested in painting. In 1880, Clements left New Orleans and studied art at the Union Art League in New York City and later in Europe. In the winter of 1887, he opened a studio in Boston; in the summer of that year he traveled to New Orleans where he painted this charming watercolor of sailboats from the shore of Lake Ponchartrain.Reference: Bacot, H. Parrott, Louisiana Art From the Roger Houston Ogden Collection, Anglo-American Art Museum and Hill Memorial Library, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, 1992, p. 47.

$12000/18000

Provenance: Acquired from the artist by his friend and cousin, Biloxi, Mississippi; descended in the family.

Note: Born in the rural Southern Louisiana community of Hahnville, Clarence Millet was intrigued with the seasonal cycles of the Mississippi River. In this

painting, he depicts construction of a levee to contain the periodic flooding.

A most prominent member of the group of artists and writers that lived and worked in the French Quarter, Clarence Millet was also admitted to the National Academy of Design in 1943. He exhibited his paintings and prints and participated in the leading art groups of the day, including the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans, the Art League and New Orleans Arts Association at the Isaac Delgado Museum of Art (now the New Orleans Museum of Art). Throughout his career, he painted lively views of the French Quarter, as well as scenes of the Louisiana countryside and Mississippi River.

458. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, b. 1944), “4 Roses for me Tonight “ oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, titled and dated “2008” en verso, 48 in. x 60 in., framed.

$40000/60000

Provenance: Purchased from the artist.

Note: Louisiana-born Cajun artist George Rodrigue’s iconic Blue Dog series continues its popularity into the twenty-first century with variations on pop art themes. Over the years, several themes have evolved alongside the Blue Dog series. Instead of depicting the Blue Dog in a landscape, Rodrigue began featuring her with repetitive items, and sometimes abstract images, such as candles, eyes, and swirls (representing Louisiana’s hurricanes), in the background. The roses illustrated in this painting were also a part of this shift in Rodrigue’s work. Wendy Rodrigue writes in her blog, Musings of an Artist’s Wife, “It was in the Blue Dog Series, particularly beginning in the mid-1990s with the silkscreens and later in the more abstract original paintings, that flowers became an important and frequent design element.” Works such as Red Flowers for a Blue Lady of Mine, 1999, Peep-Eye with the Poppies, 2000, Springtime in Louisiana, 2005, and Alice in Wonderland, 2009, confirm the fact that these flowers, as an aspect of design, are an important part of Rodrigue’s Blue Dog series, constituting “at least one out of every twenty paintings over the past fifteen years.”Reference: Rodrigue, Wendy, “Flowers (Eyes, Swirls, and Hearts).” Weblog entry. Musings of an Artist’s Wife. March 17, 2010. Accessed April 13, 2010 (http://www.wendyrodrigue.com/2010/03/flowers-eyes-and-swirls.html).

$3000/5000

Note: Destin, Florida, was founded c. 1845-50 by Captain Leonard Destin; it remained a small fishing village for over a century. In the 1970s extensive development brought an influx of tourists, changing the character, as well as the skyline of Destin. Here Holzhauer depicts the shore as it looked before development.

$1000/1500

Note: Chretien Point Plantation was built in 1831 on the banks of Bayou Bourbeau, by Joseph Chretien and inherited by his son Hypolite. Hypolite died unexpectedly in 1839, and his wife Felicité was forced to become actively involved in the management of the 640-acre cotton plantation. With her newly found responsibilities and freedom, Felicité Chretien adopted some non-conventional feminine activities for the time: smoking cigars and playing cards, even developing a business relationship with the pirate, Jean Lafitte. According to tradition, Felicité shot a pirate on the grand staircase as he was attempting to steal her jewelry. The ghost of the pirate is said to haunt the plantation and his footsteps can be heard on the staircase.

During the Great Depression, Boyd Cruise was hired by New Orleans architect Richard Koch, then director of the Federal Historic American Building Survey (HABS), to create watercolors of historic buildings in the French Quarter and Southern Louisiana, in the tradition of the Persac and Gualdi watercolors at the Notarial Archives

$2000/4000

Provenance: Estate of the artist, descended through the family.

Note: Born in New Orleans, Charles Henry Reinike found the rural landscape and small communities of Southern Louisiana a continual source of inspiration for both his watercolor and oil paintings. In the summer months Reinike, and his artist wife Vera, ran the Reinike Academy of Art in St. Francisville, where many of their friends and fellow artists taught. Throughout his career as a teacher and artist, Reinike took painting trips, often with artist Clarence Millet and their students, to the countryside. Among his favorite locales were the scenic sites along Bayou Teche in St. Mary Parish, Morgan City, Grand Isle and West Feliciana Parish.

Note: In this Blue Dog painting of Rodrigue’s important transitional period, the artist features his beloved pet in the foreground, while including a Louisiana live oak tree in the background, an iconic symbol from his Traditional Series. The painting’s title, Blue Dog in Girard Park, calls attention to the specific location of the painting, a recreational park in central Lafayette, the artist’s hometown.

471. John Tarrell Scott (American/New Orleans, 1940-2007), “Through Lulu White’s”, painted wood sculpture, unsigned, height 12 3/4 in., width 36 in., depth 1 in.

$5000/7500

Provenance: Exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art’s Circle Dance: John T. Scott Retrospective, May 7-July 10, 2005.

Note: Celebrated New Orleans artist John T. Scott was highly influenced by the culture and music of the Afro-Caribbean cultures; these inspirations led not only to his work being referred to as “optical jazz”, but also to the title of his retrospective at the New Orleans Museum of Art: Circle Dance. The term Circle Dance refers to a type of dance performed by a group and most commonly performed in a circle. Although these types of dances are traditional to groups throughout the world, the African and Caribbean cultures that so influenced the music, dancing, and culture of the Southern United States are also the cultures that most profoundly affected John T. Scott in his sculptures and prints.

The 1992 recipient of the “Genius Grant” from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, John T. Scott has long been noted as one of New Orleans’ most prominent artists, an honor that has lived on past his death. The carpentry skills he learned from his father and the embroidery techniques learned from his mother certainly fueled Scott’s interest in the arts from an early age; these early-learned crafts were again put to use in the wooden sculpture presented here. This particular piece also fits Scott’s oeuvre theoretically; much of his art incorporates movement, whether kinetic or implied. The space between the painted wood square and the twisted cross-piece can be interpreted as the constantly moving space between musical notes and silences. As Scott has stated, “the most powerful things in [jazz players’] music is the silence between the notes. In my kinetic work there’s an awful lot of space, and I play on the shifting movement of that space.”

The title of this piece, “Through Lulu White’s” refers to the famed Storyville Madame who ran the brothel, Mahogany Hall, at 235 Basin Street in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. One can speculate that the title implies an almost voyeuristic look through a window into the world of the well-known Madame.Reference: Powell, Richard J. Circle Dance: The Art of John T. Scott.

$8000/12000

Note: Known for his irony and humor, Pedro Friedeberg described his childhood, “I was born in Italy during the era of Mussolini, who made all trains run on time. Immediately thereafter, I moved to Mexico where the trains are never on time, but where once they start moving they pass pyramids.” Adept at drawing, he studied architecture at the Universidad Iberoamericana and in 1960 joined the Dadaist art group, Los Hartos (The Fed Up). In reference to this, Friedeberg stated, “I admire everything that is useless, frivolous, whimsical. I hate functionalism, post modernism and almost everything else.” He has achieved acclaim for his work as a furniture designer, sculptor, architect and painter. His elaborate and intricate Surrealistic paintings reflect his architectural training.

Those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses - where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere - are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professionals. After a certain familiarity with these flourishing of an exalted feverishness, lived so fully and so intensely by their authors, we cannot avoid the feeling that in relation to these works, cultural art in its entirety appears to be the game of a futile society, a fallacious parade.

Jean Dubuffet (French, 1901-1985)

In 1945 the French artist Jean Dubuffet traveled to a mental asylum in Switzerland to study the works of art produced by the inmates. The artistic creations of those suffering from mental illness had been observed and written about by psychiatrists for decades, most significantly in Hans Prinzhorn’s 1922 Artistry of the Mentally Ill. Dubuffet was enthralled by the creativity of the work he saw, and believed that he had finally found the spontaneous, raw art for which he had been searching -his “art brut” - an art uncontaminated by society, tradition, or the art market.

Though frequently referred to as “the art of the mad”, art brut was actually more inclusive, encompassing all those on the margins of society - the poor, the criminal, as well as the mentally ill. Essential to Dubuffet’s concept was the idea that these artists, untrained and unaware of artistic traditions and techniques, created only for themselves; their work was produced for reasons separate from its possible use as a commodity. One such artist was Schroeder-Sonnenstern.

One of thirteen children, Schroeder-Sonnenstern had a troubled childhood, spending time in a facility for juvenile offenders. He had his first of several compulsory stays at a mental institution in 1910, where he was diagnosed with dementia praecox (schizophrenia). It was not until 1930 that he began to draw, creating a highly imaginative, very personal iconography. Schroeder-Sonnenstern’s bizarre, compelling compositions verge on the surreal; in fact, in 1959 he exhibited at the Exposition Internationale du Surrealisme in Paris. His bright, vivid colors, smooth lines, and fantastical figures combine to create works that are infinitely appealing, as is evident in the present lot.Reference: Leo Navratali. “Art Brut and Psychiatry”.

At the age of nineteen, Casselli enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps serving as a combat artist in Vietnam, where he experienced firsthand the horrors and tragedies of modern warfare. Upon his return to New Orleans, influenced by Edgar Degas, Casselli became enthralled by the world of classical ballet dancers. He created a series of delicately rendered watercolors and pastels of dancers in the midst of rehearsals and performances.Reference: Hoopes, Donelson, Henry Casselli: Master of the American Watercolor, New Orleans Museum of Art, 2000.

$3000/5000

Note: Born in New York City, Marcius-Simons was an infant when his family relocated to Europe. A precocious talent, he began his artistic training at the age of twelve under Jean-Georges Vibert (French, 1840-1902) and had his exhibition debut at the Paris Salon several years later in 1882. Though schooled in the French Academic tradition, Marcius-Simons was influenced by J.M.W. Turner, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and later by the experimentalism of the Symbolists. He successfully combined these seemingly conflicting artistic approaches to create a very personal, enigmatic style of painting. As a contemporary critic commented, “Here is realism mingled with the weirdly spectacular.”

Marcius-Simons merges his deeply pigmented palette, thick brushstrokes, and almost other-worldly subject matter to create works teeming with energy and life, as is evident in the present lot. A popular and successful painter during his lifetime, he exhibited widely including the Royal Academy, London and had one-man shows in New York, Boston, and Chicago. His work was posthumously included in the exhibits American Imagination and Symbolist Painting and The Essence of Line: French Drawings from Ingres to Degas.Reference: New York Times, Feb. 9, 1896.

Provenance: Estate of Steven Cabot Barnes Harvey of San Francisco, CA.

Note: During the early 20th century, the Symbolist art movement took hold in America. Drawing inspiration from

William Blake and the Pre-Raphaelites, these artists employed mystical imagery to express moods, emotions and ideas. Adele Watson, who had studied at the Art Students League and in Paris, divided her time between her Washington Square studio in New York City and Pasadena, California. Her close friendship with the Lebanese-American philosopher, mystical poet, artist and writer Kahlil Gibran influenced the tone of her paintings.

In the somber and mysterious painting “Search Thy Spirit,” Watson placed several nude figures on the rocky California coast. Here she uses a rich blue palette, which represents divine contemplation, faith and eternity.Reference: Murphy, Maureen and Michael Kelly, “Dreams, Visions and Imagination: An Exhibition of the Symbolic and Imaginative Paintings by California Artists, 1910-1930,” exhibition catalogue, Montecito, California, 1990; and “Adele Watson,” exhibition catalogue, Pasadena Public Library, California, 1953.

CONDITIONS OF SALEPlacing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale.

1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this cata-logue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED.

Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auc-tion Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpe-cuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discre-tion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met:

A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.”

B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale.

C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written docu-ment signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery.

D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the origi-nal buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable.

E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate.

F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regard-ing authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief.

2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the suc-cessful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full pur-chase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same.

4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item.

5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction.6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal

Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer li-able for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the origi-nal defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any defi-ciency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.

4. We reserve the right to require that advance bids be accompanied by a 25% deposit.
