He was born on December 23, 1908, in Mardin, Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), and passed away on July 13, 2002, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Karsh is widely regarded as one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century. Karsh's career took off when he immigrated to Canada in 1925 and started working as an apprentice to his uncle, George Nakash, who was a photographer. In the late 1930s, Karsh established his own studio in Ottawa, where he would spend most of his career. Karsh became renowned for his ability to capture the essence and character of his subjects in his portraits. He had a talent for putting his subjects at ease and was known for his meticulous attention to lighting, composition, and detail. His iconic portraits often featured dramatic lighting and posed his subjects in a way that revealed their inner strength and personality. One of Karsh's most famous photographs is the portrait of Winston Churchill taken in 1941. The image, which captured Churchill's steely determination, became an enduring symbol of the British leader during World War II. Karsh's portfolio includes portraits of numerous other influential figures, such as Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, Martin Luther King Jr., Pablo Picasso, and many more. Karsh received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including the Order of Canada, the Medal of the British Institute of Professional Photographers, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the United States.

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundation for the transition from 19th-century art to the revolutionary styles of the 20th century. Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, Cézanne's artistic career began in the mid-19th century, and he played a crucial role in the development of modern art.Cézanne's early works were influenced by Impressionism, but he eventually moved away from its emphasis on capturing fleeting moments and light effects. He developed a unique style that focused on geometric forms, spatial relationships, and the manipulation of color and perspective.Some of Cézanne's well-known paintings include "Mont Sainte-Victoire," "The Card Players," and "Still Life with Apples." His landscapes and still lifes are celebrated for their exploration of form, structure, and the use of color planes, which would become foundational elements of Cubism and other modern art movements.Cézanne's approach to painting had a profound impact on artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who later developed Cubism. Despite facing initial rejection and criticism, Cézanne's work gained recognition in the later years of his life, and he is now considered one of the most influential figures in the history of art. His innovative techniques and emphasis on form over color had a lasting impact on the trajectory of modern art.

FRANK AUERBACH (B. 1931)From the Studios II 1992 oil on board43.2 by 40.6 cm. 17 by 16 in. This work was executed in 1992.Footnotes:Provenance Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., London Acquired directly from the above by the present owner Exhibited London, Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., Frank Auerbach: Recent Works, 1997, n.p., no. 36, illustrated in colour Literature William Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2009, p. 318, no. 704, illustrated in colourWilliam Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2022, p. 360, no. 704, illustrated in colourFrom the Studios II is a strikingly fresh and beautiful example of Auerbach's inimitably personal and deeply emotive body of North London cityscapes. Rendered in a majestic and jewel-like palette of green, red, yellow and ochre pigment, the intensity of the artist's response to the subject is gloriously brought to life through Auerbach's bravura handling of oil paint, for which he is so well known. Executed in 1992 as part of a suite of paintings on the same subject, the composition focuses on a view of Auerbach's studio that the artist encountered day in, day out. He journeyed to the studio every day since he first took up residence in a Victorian building in Camden over sixty years ago. It is a place with a long history of art: before Auerbach, the building had been used by painters Frances Hodgkins and Leon Kossoff. This painting shows us a place that is obviously dear to Auerbach's heart, the approach along a narrow, unassuming alleyway to his cluttered, paint-flecked studio space. First capturing its image in 1977, this is a subject that the artist has repeatedly returned to throughout his oeuvre. And yet each version has its own unique qualities, its own distinct methods and manners. While hardly a picturesque spot in any conventional sense, the artist locates beauty in this messy corner of a busy city.The considerable complexities of colour and composition apparent in this present work distinguish the painting from previous paintings of this scene. Compared to the predominantly dark hues of the earlier To the Studios series executed between 1979-80 where, principally, blues are set against strokes of purple and sombre hues, the palette seen here is particularly bold, ranging from the liberal use of an acid yellow sky, to arresting juxtapositions of red and green pigments. Space and form emerge from a dense lattice of lines and patches of colour are built up and scraped back in rich layers of impasto. The tension between Auerbach's treatment of the surface as a material object and the image's illusion of three-dimensional depth invigorates the entire composition.With two works from the series owned by Tate, London, the The Studios series is unanimously considered one of the finest series in Auerbach's oeuvre: these works herald the unmistakable 'all-at-onceness' of Auerbach's vision across an exquisite range of captured moments. The present work draws upon Walter Sickert's cityscapes of North London, as well as the quality of 'individuality, independence, fullness and perpetual motion' within the landscapes of Auerbach's mentor and teacher David Bomberg (the artist in: Frank Auerbach, 'Frank Auerbach in conversation with Catherine Lampert', Frank Auerbach, London 1978, p. 8). Hailed as one of the most influential painters of the 20th century, Frank Auerbach was born in Berlin, Germany in 1931. Arriving in England as a Jewish refugee in 1939, he attended St Martin's School of Art, London, and studied with David Bomberg in night classes at Borough Polytechnic, before culminating his final studies at the Royal College of Art and has since remained in London. His first exhibition was held at London's Beaux Arts Gallery in 1956. Initially he was criticised for his thick application of paint, but found support from the critic David Sylvester, who identified the exhibition as one of the most exciting and impressive first one-man shows by an English painter since Francis Bacon. By the early 1960s, Auerbach had established himself among the ranks of what would later become known as the 'School of London', a group that included Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. The latter, in particular, shared much of Auerbach's sensibility: the two artists favoured painterly intuition over carefully studied precision, viewing painting as a means of pinning down human sensation. However, despite his affiliation with the School of London artists and comparisons to Francis Bacon, Auerbach also sought to engage in the explicit dialogue with the art historical canon, and cites numerous old and modern masters as influences, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Constable and Picasso. Auerbach would continue to exhibit regularly at the Beaux-Arts Gallery until 1963. From 1965 he first exhibited at the Marlborough Gallery, and today his works have become some of the most internationally collected of a living artist. Indeed, his career-defining 2015-2016 retrospective at London's Tate Britain demonstrated not only the variety of the artist's works, but also his global following, and included works gathered from private collections across the world. From the Studios II presents a unity of architectonic structure, organic brushwork and luscious combinations of vibrant, rich hues. Through brilliant colour and a faultless exhibition of Auerbach's charismatic painterly gesture, this present work carries a powerful, personal and emotional charge. The work encapsulates a seminal exposition of Auerbach's thoroughly compelling Studio series, that is completely fresh to the market having remained in the same Private Collection since the early 1990s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
