European ArtMay 8The European Art auction presents finepaintings, drawings and sculpture of the19th and 20th centuries. A highlight ofthe sale is La Blouse Rouge, an importantImpressionist work by the French artistHenri-Edmond Cross. Dating to the mid-1880s, when Cross was emerging from hisearly, Realist phase to embrace thelighter palette and vibrant brushwork ofImpressionism, the painting is a superbexample of this joyful moment in his artisticlife. In the shimmering reflections oflight on the polished floor and the brilliantflecks of green in the landscape, wecan clearly see Cross’s response to thework of his colleagues Monet and Pissarro.Such paintings would later have aprofound impact on the work of Matisseand Derain. Another notable work is ThePassage of Vesterbro with a View of theFrihedsstotten, Copenhagen from 1899,a sparkling evocation of city life in theBelle Epoque by Paul Gustave Fischer.Other artists featured in the sale includeFernando Cueto Amorsolo, Antoine Bouvard,Bernard Buffet, Charles H. van denEycken, Achille Emile Othon Friesz,André Hambourg, Charles Jacque, JohannLindlar, Emil Nolde, Richard Sidney Percy,Paul Signac and Edouard Vuillard.Contact : Elaine Stainton, 212-427-4141,ext 249, Paintings@DoyleNewYork.comModern &Contemporary ArtMay 8This sale offers paintings and sculpture by some ofthe 20th and 21st centuries' most prominent artists.Works by American, European, Latin American and Asianartists encompass artistic movements from Cubism andExpressionism through the present day. A great innovator,Robert Rauschenberg developed a process of transferringprinted images onto his support using a solvent. The 1981work in the sale is a strong example of Rauschenberg'semployment of this technique. His transferred imagesoverlap and run across paper, pigment, and cloth, and theresulting composition has an overall feel of orchestratedrandom information. Also featured is an untitled workfrom 1959 by Maqbool Fida Husain. One of the mostrecognized modern Indian painters, Husain has beendubbed the “Picasso of India.” As a member of theProgressive Artists’ Group, Husain challenged the statusquo of the 1940s and developed works aligned withthe European avant-garde.
