Comment(s): Exceedingly rare, perhaps unique, proof. Unknown to Karshan. As he states,"Kneeling is the second drypoint of only three that the artist executed ["Kneeling," "Bending," "Angelica"]. The original copper plates [of these three] were discovered by the artist's widow in 1966 at his atelier in Woodstock, New York. These plates were in sufficiently good condition to permit posthumous editions to be printed, since only one life-time proof was known of "Bending," two of "Angelica," and none of "Kneeling." These three editions were printed in New York by Miss Judith Foster in 1967, under the supervision of the artist's estate." Donald Karshan, "Archipenko: The Sculpture and Graphic Art."

GERTRUDE HERMES (BRITISH 1901-1983) HAND AND BABY - 1929 Wood engraving, signed ‘GH’ in print, dated and inscribed ‘With love and best wishes from Blair, Gert, Judith & Simon' in ink to margin image size 11.5cm x 7.75cm (4.5in x 3in), unframed From the Estate of William McCance. The Art Edit is delighted to present paintings, drawings and prints by William McCance and his circle. The collection includes a portrait of McCance’s first wife Agnes Miller Parker (1895–1980), cards printed and inscribed by artist friends, and designs produced during McCance’s tenure as Controller of the Gregynog Press. All works come from the Artist’s Estate and have never before appeared on the market.Like any modernist worth his salt, William McCance sought to document twentieth century industrial life. His subject is often domestic, but is realised using a vorticist schematisation which promotes underlying geometric volumes. Thus, organic forms assume an almost mechanised quality: a human figure is transformed into a strange automaton; a grove of trees is delineated as if it were a cluster of factory pipes.McCance moved to London in 1920 with Agnes Miller Parker, where they were amongst the earliest Scots to adopt a Wyndham Lewis-inspired vorticism. Their mutual inclination towards line and pattern lent itself well to the graphic arts; Miller Parker was a talented wood engraver and illustrator, while McCance worked across painting, printmaking, design, sculpture, writing and typography.In 1930 McCance became second Controller of the Gregynog Press, a significant private press in Montgomeryshire, Wales. The Press flourished under his stewardship, and he oversaw the production of several exquisite limited edition publications.Gregynog was unique at the time in that publications were printed, typset, illustrated and bound under one roof. McCance and Miller Parker contributed designs and engravings, as did the artists Gertrude Hermes (1901–1983) and Blair Hughes Stanton (1902-1981), who was also employed at the Press in a directorial capacity. However, owing to fraught relations with the owners of the Press, McCance resigned after three years.By 1943 McCance was lecturer in Typography and Book Production at the University of Reading. The few works from this later period held in public collection indicate a preoccupation with the Venus of Laussel, the c.25,000 year old limestone figure of a female nude discovered in 1911 in a rock shelter in the Dordogne. McCance likely encountered the Venus during a visit to the region after the Second World War, and nude figures with smooth simplified curves inspired by the Venus recurred within his work hereon. McCance parted ways with Miller Parker in 1955, and by 1960 he had retired to Scotland. He died in Ayrshire in 1970.

Italienischer Maler des 17. JahrhundertsJUDITH UND HOLOFERNESÖl auf Leinwand.180 x 143 cm.Das klassische und kraftvolle Hell-Dunkel der italienischen Kunst des 17. Jahrhunderts sowie die traditionelle Farbpalette und die wiederkehrende Thematik kennzeichnen dieses bedeutende Gemälde mit Judith und Holofernes. Vor einem voluminösen roten Vorhang hebt die junge Frau, von direktem Licht angestrahlt, den Kopf des Holofernes an den Haaren hoch. Hinter ihr liegt der hilflose Körper auf dem Bett, der Helm auf dem Boden im Vordergrund. Rechts im Bild bereitet sich ein Diener darauf vor, der jungen Frau zu helfen.Die Komposition der Szene erinnert an das Gemälde mit demselben Thema von Peter Paul Rubens, das sich in den Uffizi in Florenz befindet (RKD Nr. 197909). Judith dominiert das Bild, indem sie ihren Platz in der von links nach rechts verlaufenden Diagonale einnimmt. Mit der linken Hand hält sie Holofernes‘ Haupt an den Haaren und reicht ihn dem Diener. Die kleinen Abweichungen des Gemäldes im Vergleich zu Rubens‘ Vorlage deuten darauf hin, dass der Künstler Gelegenheit hatte, in Mittelitalien zu reisen und sich von den barocken Malern inspirieren zu lassen.

Lavinia Fontana, 1552 Bologna – 1614 RomSELBSTBILDNISÖl auf Kupfer, versilbert.14 x 10 cm.Altes Rähmchen, Nussholz, mit Blumen und Früchten beschnitzt.Beigegeben Expertisen von Vera Fortunati, o.D., sowie von Prof. Daniele Benati, 13. Februar 2009, in Kopie.Das Werk wird in den in Vorbereitung befindlichen Catalogue raisonné von Vera Fortunati aufgenommen. Die Malerin zeigt sich hier, wie auch in anderen Selbstbildnissen, etwa am Spinett, äußerst selbstbewusst. Lavinia wurde von ihrem Vater, dem Maler Prospero Fontana ausgebildet, sah jedoch in der zwanzig Jahre älteren Sofonisba Anguissola (ca. 1530-1625) ihr Vorbild. Es ist anzunehmen, dass sie bei Denis Calvart weiterstudiert hat. Sie gilt zweifellos als eine der bedeutendsten Malerinnen ihrer und der nachfolgenden Zeit. Als Portraitistin erhielt sie vor allem von adeligen Damen ihre Aufträge. Aus jedem Gesicht dieser weiblichen Bildnisse spricht Selbstbewusstsein, Stolz und nahezu Ausdruck einer Überlegenheit. So erstaunt es nicht, dass sie sich in ihrem Oeuvre dem Thema Judith und Holofernes gewidmet hat, aber als erste Malerin auch dem Thema der Aktmalerei. Ihr großer Erfolg, auch unterstützt durch Papst Gregor XIII. sicherte ihr hohe Honorare, vergleichbar mit denen für Van Dyck. So folgten auch Familienporträts, etwa „Bianca Degli Utili Maselli mit ihren Kindern“.Die Künstlerin war eine italienische Malerin des Manierismus. Sie ist insbesondere für ihre Portraits und historischen Darstellungen sowie religiöse Motive bekannt. Ab den 1580er-Jahren malte sie auch großformatige Altarbilder. 1603 zog sie mit ihrer Familie auf Einladung des Papstes Clemens VII nach Rom und es folgten weitere Aufträge für Altargemälde sowie private Historienbilder. Sie war sehr erfolgreich und zählt zu den besten Malpersönlichkeiten ihrer Zeit.Anmerkung:Das kleine Gemälde ist laut beiliegenden Expertisen eine in Abwandlung des Formats geschaffene Wiederholung nach dem in den Uffizien in Florenz aufbewahrten Rundbild. Das Museumsexponat mit einem Durchmesser von 15,7 cm ist auf Kupfer gemalt und auf 1579 datiert. In beiden Bildern hat sich die Künstlerin nach links sitzend wiedergegeben, den Blick auf den Betrachter gerichtet. Kleidung, Halskrause und Haartracht sind in beiden Bildern entsprechend. Im Uffizien-Tondo ist ihre Hand mit Schreibfeder auf einem mit Papierbogen gezeigt, am Bildrand sowie im dunklen Hintergrund lassen sich Statuetten erkennen. Das hochquadratische Format hier dagegen verzichtet auf diese zusätzlichen Bildinhalte. Die Malweise zeigt sich in derselben Feinheit, die Silberplatte anstelle von Kupfer verrät hier eine besondere Wertgebung. Die Zuweisung des Gemäldes an die Malerin erfolgte 2009 durch Prof. Daniele Benati, der die Entstehung in den Zeitraum 1579/80 setzt, also in Nähe mit ihrem Selbstbildnis am Spinett von 1577, von dem es ebenfalls eine Wiederholung gibt (Christie‘s 2013). Beigegeben ein Aufsatz von T. Cantaro zum Thema der Selbstbildnisse im Spinett.Literatur:Vgl. Caroline P. Murphy, Lavinia Fontana.

(1411057) (11) (†)Lavinia Fontana,1552 Bologna – 1614 RomeSELF-PORTRAIT Oil on silver copper.14 x 10 cm.Accompanied by expert’s reports by Vera Fortunati; Prof Daniele Benati, 13 February 2009, in copy. The work will be included in the catalogue raisonné by Vera Fortunati, currently in preparation.Notes:According to the accompanying reports, the small painting is a repetition of the round painting held at the Uffizi in Florence, but in a different format. The museum exhibit, with a diameter of 15.7 cm, is painted on copper and dated 1579. In both paintings, the artist is depicted sitting to the left, looking at the viewer. Her attire, ruff and hairstyle are the same in both paintings. In the Uffizi tondo, her hand holding a quill is shown on a sheet of paper, and there are statuettes at the edge of the painting and in the dark background. By contrast the tall square format here dispenses with this additional image content. The painting style is just as delicate, and the material of a silver plate instead versus copper shows special appreciation here. Professor Daniele Benati attributed the painting to the female painter in 2009 and dated the painting to ca. 1579/80, close to her Self-portrait at the Spinet of 1577, of which there is also a repetition (Christie’s 2013). Attached is an essay by T. Cantaro about self-portraits at the spinet.Literature:cf. Caroline P. Murphy, Lavinia Fontana. A Painter and Her Patrons in Sixteenth-Century Bologna, New Haven 2003.cf.
