CLICK HERE TO MAKE PAYMENT WHEN THE AUCTION ENDS!!!Emile Bernard Original 1890 Signed Painting CloisonnismHere's an original signed work in oil by Emile Bernard and a pre-eminent example of Cloisonnism, a painting technique pioneered by the artist: Title: Portrait of Mademoiselle Lecequin Oil paint on gesso-prepared mahogany panel Circa 1890 Signed LL Panel size: 12½ × 17½ inches Framed size: 21 × 24 inches Excellent condition; no conspicuous flaws or faults; no overpaints or restorations The painting bears a number of identifying marks on the verso. Some are illegible or partially legible. Most notably, a circular exhibition registrar's label appears in black ink on the LL verso of the panel and reads: "Douane Centrale Expositione." A ghost image of a previous exhibition label appears at the top center verso. Please see the photograph of the verso, taken several years ago, below. The verso is now enclosed behind a dustcover. All framing elements meet current archival conservation standards. A detailed appraisal of the painting, including extensive provenance back to the artist, is included. Cloisonnism refers to the painting style of Bernard and several other French artists of the nineteenth century, reminiscent of the look of cloisonné enamel and stained glass windows. Bernard was a pioneer in the development of this technique. Emile Bernard (France, 1868-1941) painter and writer on art, is closely linked with most of the major art movements of his time, most notably Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau and the previously mentioned Cloissonism. He seemed to know everyone, including Toulouse-Lautrec, Louis Anquentin (with whom he developed Cloisonnism) and Paul Gaughin, with whom he worked closely in Paris and Pont-Aven, and conducted a voluminous and fascinating correspondence with Van Gogh, publishing a book of Van Gogh's letters to him in 1893. A copy of that book "Vincent Van Gogh Letters to Emile Bernard," edited and translated by Douglass Lord, Museum of Modern Art, 1938. xi, 124 pp, 32 b/w pls. 4to cloth, inscribed and in very good condition, will be included. " 'There are artists around Gauguin, such asemile Bernard, Maurice Denis, and Paul Serusier, whose smaller oils, and certainly their works on paper, can remain under $100,000," says David Norman of Sotheby's, " in an ArtNews "Best Bets" feature in the Summer 2001 edition.
