MONET CLAUDE: (1840-1926) French Impressionist painter. A poignant A.L.S., Claude Monet, three pages, 8vo, Giverny par Vernon, Eure, 27th May 1899, to Francois Depeaux, written in the artist´s characteristic purple ink on black bordered mourning stationery. In the months following the death of his fellow Impressionist artist, Alfred Sisley, Monet writes with concern for Sisley´s children and their finances, in full, ´Je comprens parfaitement que vos occupations d´affaires ne vous laissent pas tout le loisir que vous voudriez, mais il y a l´affaire des enfants Sisley à laquelle nous nous sommes attachés et qu´il faudrait terminer une fois pour toutes. Il ne faudrait pas que ces enfants s´habituent à demander de l´argent chez M. Chevalier au fur et à mesure de leurs besoins et se figurent qu´ils ont un capital inépuisable. Vous etes de cet avis je le sais, mais il faudrait qu´ils soient mis au plus tot au courant de leur situation. Je n´ai pas qualité pour m´occuper de cela, et j´ai du reste assez payé de ma personne pour vous prier de ne pas perdre de vue le role final de nos efforts communs. Je sais que Pierre Sisley ne travaille que d´une facon intermittente, ce qui est facheux et cela peut etre parce qu´il ne sent pas pris par la nécessité. Il y a aussi à s´assurer que toutes dettes sont payées. Enfin mon grand souci c´est la responsabilité qui nous fait un devoir de conseiller ces enfants et de placer leur avoir en de bonnes conditions. J´ai beau vouloir n´y pas penser, c´est plus fort que moi et je trouve que nous devons au plus vite régulariser tout cela. C´est urgent selon moi et c´est ce qui me fait insister à vous demander un entretien qui me procurera le plaisir de vous voir. Bien en hate et avec l´espoir de votre prochaine venue´ (Translation: ´I fully understand that your business commitments do not leave you all the time you would like, but there is the matter of the Sisley children to which we have become attached and which must be settled once and for all. These children should not get into the habit of asking Mr Chevalier for money as and when they need it and imagine that they have an inexhaustible supply. I know you are of this opinion, but they should be made aware of their situation as soon as possible. I am not qualified to deal with this, and I have already put in enough personal time and effort, so please do not lose sight of the ultimate goal of our joint efforts. I know that Pierre Sisley only works intermittently, which is annoying and it may be because he doesn't feel driven by necessity. There is also the matter of ensuring that all debts are paid. Finally, my main concern is the responsibility that makes it our duty to advise these children and to place their assets in good conditions. I can try as I might not to think about it, but I can't help it and I think we need to sort all this out as quickly as possible. I think it's urgent and that's why I'm insisting on asking you for an interview, which will give me the pleasure of seeing you. I look forward to it and hope you will come again soon´).

RENOIR PIERRE-AUGUSTE: (1841-1919) French Impressionist artist. A brief A.L.S., Renoir, to the verso of his personal printed oblong 12mo Visiting Card, featuring his printed name (´Pierre Renoir´) to the centre and with address at Rue Caulaincourt (Paris) to the base, n.p. (Paris?), n.d., in French. Renoir writes, in full, ´Prière a madame Franck-Lancey (?) de donner la biciclette à Mr. Dorival´ (Translation: ´Please ask Mrs Franck-Lancey (?) to give the bicycle to Mr Dorival´). Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VGIn the present letter Renoir is most likely to be referring to the French actor Georges Dorival (1871-1939) who was also a painter and art collector. Renoir and Dorival maintained a long friendship, despite their 30-year age difference, and the actor was portrayed by the painter in 1900 in a work entitled Dorival comme le bourgeois gentilhomme.

MONET CLAUDE: (1840-1926) French Impressionist painter. A fine A.L.S., Claude Monet, three pages, 8vo, Etretat, 27th October 1885, to Camille Pissarro (´Mon cher Pissarro´), on the printed stationery of the Hotel Blanquet, in French. Monet states that he has been meaning to write to Pissarro for some time and send his news, ´mais vous savez ce que c´est, etant toujours dehors a travailler, on est fatigue le soir et un peu paresseux pour ecrire´ (Translation: ´but you know how it is, being out all the time working, you're tired in the evening and a bit lazy to write´), remarking ´Je pensais rester moins longtemps ici, mais je suis si peu favorise par le temps que c´est le diable de pouvoir terminer quelque chose. J´ai eu beau faire mettre des toiles pour tous les temps, je n´en viens pas a bout d´une, entre les changements de maree, les bateaux qui ne sont jamais a la meme place´ (Translation: ´I thought I'd stay here for less time, but I'm so short of time that it's the devil to get anything done. No matter how many times I've had canvases put up for all weathers, I can't finish one, between the changes in the weather and the boats that are never in the same place´) explaining that he will remain at Etretat for a while longer, in order to make the most of his trip, and therefore won´t be able to attend the next dinners with Pissarro, ´Vous voudrez bien m´en excusre aupres des amis, et leur faire mes amities. Et vous, que faites-vous, et Renoir, Cezanne, Sisley et Durand les affaires, en tout cela un mot et vous serez bien aimable de me mettre un peu au courant´ (Translation: ´I apologise to my friends for this, and send them my regards. And you, what are you doing, and Renoir, Cezanne, Sisley and Durand, the business, in all this a word and you will be very kind to give me some information´). In concluding Monet states that he hopes Pissarro is in good health, that matters are going well for him, and asking for his compliments to be given to Pissarro´s wife and their son Lucien. A letter of good association and fine content, not least for its references to Monet´s work, but also for the mention of a number of other Impressionist artists.

HENRI LEBASQUE (FRENCH 1865-1937) LA COIFFURE Oil on canvas Signed (lower left) 65 x 49cm (25½ x 19¼ in.)Painted circa 1905-1906.Provenance: Galerie du Drap d'Or, Cannes Private Collection, London (acquired from the above in 1971) Thence by descent to the late ownerExhibited: Probably, Paris, Beaux-Arts, Exposition de la Societe nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1909, no. 710 Literature: Denise Bazetoux, Henri Lebasque, Catalogue raisonné, vol. I, Paris, 2008, no. 655, illustrated p. 189The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Madame Christine Lenoir and Madame de la Ville Fromoit. La Coiffure shows the artist's wife, Ella, and their eldest daughter, Marthe. It is one of the many depictions of domestic and family life painted by the artist throughout his career. These intimate portrayals capture a moment in time, a glimpse into the lives of those they illustrate. For Lebasque, it was one of his favourite subject matter and he frequently painted Ella, Marthe, his younger daughter Nono (christened Helene) and his son Pierre. Lisa Banner discusses the artist's choice of subject matter: "Lebasque's vision of life led him to concentrate upon intimate domestic scenes and close, interior compositions. He was hailed as the painter of "Joy and Light" by art critics and curators of the Louvre in his later life. But Lebasque's primary concerns were with simple expression of sensuous surface... He achieved an intimate manner of painting those scenes and people most dear to him, which was replete with his personal delight in form and color, heightened by his contact with fellow painters Matisse and Bonnard, but characteristically his own" (L. Banner, Lebasque, 1865-1937, San Francisco, 1985, p. 20).Lebasque arrived in Paris in 1886, studying under academician Léon Bonnat, receiving a traditional art education. He assisted Ferdinand Humbert with decorative murals at the Panthéon and his early work is characterised by its rather sombre palette. However, he quickly became fascinated with the Impressionist movement and sought to acquaint himself with artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edouard Vuillard and Camille Pissarro. He developed lasting friendships with these painters and his work was undoubtedly influenced by their work, both in subject matter and style. In 1900, Lebasque settled at Lagny,-sur-Marne in the eastern suburbs of Paris. In 1903, alongside Matisse, Bonnard and Vuillard, amongst others, he was one of the founding members of the inaugural Salon d'Automne. The present work, which dates from a couple of years later, and shortly before the artist's first one-man show at the prestigious Galerie Georges Petit in Paris in 1907, reveals the influence of not only those artists, but also Signac and Seurat.Lebasque's handling of the paint is soft and sensuous. The short brush strokes echo his former interest in Pointillism whilst the interplay between the colours and the use of contrast with light and shadow show him moving towards a more gestural, intuitive style. Condition Report: The canvas is not relined. Ultraviolet light reveals light scattered retouching to the edge of the table and to the mother's hand. The paint is very slightly thin in the mirror area, otherwise, the work appears to be in very good original condition.Condition Report Disclaimer

Both Edma and Berthe were taught by Camille Corot whose influence can clearly be seen in Edma's Barbizon-style landscapes, as here. When Manet first met the Morisot sisters in 1868, he wrote (perhaps ironically) 'What a shame they are not men'.

Diese beiden Räume im hinteren Bereich, die Du kennst, sind nicht nur voller Skizzen, sondern auch mit zwei Pastellen. Die wenigen bedeutenden Gemälde reichten nicht aus, um uns dieses Ensemble vergessen zu lassen, das einen nicht ohne Grund zum Schreien brachte. Zum Glück gab es ein paar Freunde, die den Anfang machten. Bis hin zu Chabrier [Anm.: Emmanuel Chabrier, Komponist], der nie die 20 Francs überschreitet und der 5.000 für die 'Bar' [Anm.: hier ist wohl das Gemälde 'Bar aux Folies Bergères' gemeint] ausgegeben hat. Dazu zwei weitere Pastellgemälde und das Porträt von M..., dem englischen Dichter, 1.800 Francs. Kurz gesagt, 7.300 (?) Francs am ersten Tag. Wenn wir alles am selben Tag verkauft hätten, wäre alles zu sehr hohen Preisen verkauft worden. Aber am nächsten Tag bekam man die gleichen Dinge, die am Tag zuvor 1.500 (?) gekostet hätten, für zwei- oder dreihundert Francs.Kurz gesagt, für das, was in Manets Atelier übrig geblieben ist, ist es großartig.Die Familie war dumm genug, Argenteuil für 12.500 zu kaufen, Vater Chocquet [Anm. : Victor Chocquet, 1821-1891, Freund und Sammler der Impressionisten] kaufte Dein Porträt im Boot für 12 oder 15.000. (.) Das Ganze hat 115.000 gebracht. Es verbleiben netto rund 90'000 Francs.Aus Deinen Briefen erkenne ich, dass Du glücklich bist und uns trotz Deiner Sorgen Neues bringen wirst. Wir erwarten es mit Ungeduld. Du hast wahrscheinlich die Artikel in Wolf... gelesen, er fängt an, Dich zu blockieren, nicht wegen seines Blödsinns, sondern weil er unverständlich geworden ist. Du musst auch die (...) von Pailleron [Anm. : Edouard Pailleron, 1834 - 1899, Autor und Journalist] für seinen Empfang an der Akademie gesehen haben. Schlussendlich hat man sich in Paris in letzter Zeit sehr amüsiert.DeinRenoir" Wohl 1883 nach dem Tod Manets an einen unbekannten, wohl aber aus Künstlerkreisen stammenden, Adressaten verfasster Brief bezüglich eines Verkaufs von Werken aus dem Atelier Manets. Bei dem Adressaten könnte es sich um Claude Monet handeln, da im Brief ein Gemälde erwähnt wird, das diesen in einem Boot zeigt (wohl 'Die Barke' von 1874). Auch die im Brief erwähnte und 1882 erfolgte Aufnahme Edouard Paillerons in die Académie Francaise sowie die Erwähnung des Gemäldes 'Bar aux Folies Bergères', das 1882 entstand, bilden einen Rahmen für die Datierung des Briefes.

Paul Maze (1887-1979) French Tree study Signed, pen and ink, 34.5cm by 50cm Provenance: The artist's familyPaul Maze (1887-1979), often referred to as ‘The Last of the Post-Impressionists’, had the extraordinary ability to capture the essence of a place with deceptive simplicity. He painted with immediacy, and his skills were once described by his lifelong friend Winston Churchill as “with the fewest of strokes, he can create an impression at once true and beautiful”.Maze was born in Le Havre, Normandy, the son of a successful tea merchant and art collector. From an early age he was surrounded by art, and was fortunate to count Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Dufy as family friends. Indeed, it was Pissarro who would teach him the rudiments of art before he was sent to school in Southampton at the age of 12 to perfect his English. Here he fell in love with all things English.At the outbreak of the First World War, Maze was turned away from the French Army having been deemed unfit for service. However, seeing soldiers from the Royal Scots Guards disembarking at Le Havre, he offered his services as an interpreter. Despite not having and official position, which led to his near execution at the hands of a British firing squad after he was wrongly accused of being a spy, he went onto become a highly decorated soldier who sketched his experiences when opportunity allowed. It was during his time in the trenches that he met Winston Churchill, the pair bonding over their mutual love of painting. Maze would become Churchill’s artistic mentor, and in return Churchill introduced him into British aristocratic circles and was instrumental in obtaining commissions for Maze at military events and his appointment as official artist for the funeral of King George VI and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.Maze would spend much of his life living in England, however, after the First World War he lived in Paris and became an integral member of the art scene. He counted amongst his friends Derain, Bonnard and Vuillard, and the latter had encouraged Maze to concentrate on working with pastels, which best suited his style. Maze turned his hand to a variety of subject matter, from marines to cityscapes, and the gentle landscapes of the English and French countryside. However, he had a particular love of painting the pomp and circumstance of British army parades and the social whirl of the English season, and he could be frequently found at Cowes, Henley and Goodwood. Having married his second wife, Jessie, Maze moved to the South Downs in 1950, where he would remain for the rest of his life. He fell in love with the softly rolling hills, which he frequently depicted. He died at the age of 92, at home looking over the Downs, with a pastel in his hand.

PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (FRENCH 1887-1979) WINDOW SILL STILL LIFE Signed lower right, pastel on buff paper 54cm x 73cm (21.25in x 28.75in) From the Estate of Dorothy Bohm Paul Maze has been referred to as ‘the last Post-Impressionist’. Maze’s father was a wealthy tea merchant, and the Normandy-based family acquired many Impressionist artworks, and were friends with Monet, Renoir and Pissarro. Maze was encouraged to use pastels by Edouard Vuillard, who said they were best-suited to Maze’s artistic vision. Dorothy Bohm was a British photographer based in London, known for her portraiture, street photography, early adoption of colour, and photography of London and Paris. She is considered one of the doyennes of British photography.Dorothy Bohm was born in 1924 in Koenigsberg, East Prussia and moved to England in 1939. By the age of 21, she was running her own very successful portrait studio in central Manchester, known as Studio Alexander. In the mid-1950s, she lived for a while both in Paris and New York before settling definitively in northwest London. Her first solo exhibition, People at Peace, took place at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1969, and 1970 saw the publication of her first book, A World Observed. Numerous more books and exhibitions would follow. In 1971 she was closely involved in the founding of The Photographers’ Gallery, and served as its Associate Director for the next fifteen years. By the 1990s Dorothy was firmly established as one of the doyennes of British photography, with work in numerous public and private collections, including Tate, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Guildhall Art Gallery and the Musée Carnavalet, Paris.
