Edition 2/8
Susse Fondeur Paris
Inscribed Ch Orloff 1924 2/8 and stamped

Provenance:
Crow Art Partnership collection (Dallas, Texas)

Russian born realist sculptor Chana Orloff lived the majority of her life in Paris where she trained and worked, while identifying strongly with her Eretz-Israel heritage. She ran in avant-garde circles, befriending artists such as Matisse, Picasso and Modigliani. In 1916 she married, but was widowed in 1918, left to raise her one year old son alone. When Paris was invaded during World War II Orloff fled to Switzerland with her son, returning to Paris after the war. She made many trips to Eretz-Israel and Israel throughout her life. Her first exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum was held in 1935, followed by a number of subsequent exhibitions and retrospectives.

Her sculptures reflect her personal trials and triumphs evidenced by the reoccurring themes of women, children and motherhood through the mediums of wood, bronze and stone. She also favored the subject of animals. Her mannered sculptures such as the above offered work, won her acclaim and a sound flow of commissions for portraits and monuments.

LOUIS LUPAS (American)
Portrait of 35th U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, c.1961
Pastel on paper
28.5in. x 20in. (sight size). Framed
Signed and dated lower left: Lupas, 1961

Louis Lupas is widely acclaimed for his pastel portraits of Presidents, politicians, and other high-profile figures. Lupas first honed his drawing skills as an artist for the Herald Tribune's Theatre section. In the 1950s, Senator Barry Goldwater convinced Louis Lupas to visit Washington D.C., where he was soon solidly engaged creating portraits of high society. Although Mr. Lupas may have stayed down in Washington on occasion when he was working on portraits of Presidents and Senators, he always lived and maintained a residence in New York City on Riverside Drive during that time period. Many of Lupas' portraits were drawn from life, during portrait sittings. This stunning pastel drawing was drawn from life (Kennedy posed for him while President), and captures the vitality and charisma that made President John F. Kennedy one of America's most inspiring Presidents. Lupas' pastel strokes are bold, vigorous, and direct; they create an powerful portrait of JFK, complete with his hallmark blue eyes!

Jules Émile Saintin was born in Lemée, France on October 1, 1829 and attended classes at the Ecole des Beaux-arts under Michel-Martin Drolling, Achille-Jean Babtiste, and Francais Edouard Picot. Saintin made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1848 and his work was awarded medals in 1866, 1870, and 1886. Saintin worked in New York City around 1857 and he was commissioned to paint portraits of prominent citizens, including a portrait of Stephen A. Douglas, which now hangs in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. He was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1861. Saintin returned to France sometime around 1863 and he died in Paris in 1894. He was awarded the prestigious Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. His work is housed in the Corcoran Gallery of Art and in France in the Musée de Nice, Musée de Saint-Brieuc.

WILLIAM HOLBROOK BEARD (American 1824-1900)
The Discovery of Adam, 1891
Oil on canvas
18in. x 24in. (sight size). Framed
Signed and dated lower left: W.H. Beard/ 1891
Provenance: The Masco Corporation, Taylor Michigan, 1980; [Sotheby's New York December 3, 1998 lot 129]; private collection, Dallas
Exhibited: Alexander Gallery, New York, William Holbrook Beard: Animals in Fantasy, 1981, colorplate 32.
Literature: Robert McCracken Peck, "William Holbrook Beard (1824-1900)," The Magazine Antiques, November 1994, illustrated p. 699.

Best known for genre scenes of animals satirizing human behavior, William Holbrook Beard painted his first known monkey painting only two years after the publication of Charles Darwin's controversial Origin of the Species, 1859. Beard believed that animals possessed souls and could express human emotions and feelings, yet according to Robert M. Peck, "Beard refused to believe in man's descent from more primitive primates." (Peck, 1994, p.699) No other work in Beard's extensive oeuvre so clearly and humorously illustrates the artist's opinion of Darwin's theory than the present work, Discovery of Adam, 1891. Here, a group of well dressed monkeys appear confounded at the discovery that their ancestor, Adam, is in fact a turtle. Beard further conveys his message by inscribing "200,000 B.C. Adam" on the tortoise's shell. Beard possibly refers to Darwin's theory of evolution, the survival of the fittest, by depicting two prehistoric pterodactyls fighting in the left background.

Beard began his artistic career as an itinerant portrait painter throughout Ohio before moving to New York City in 1845. He opened a studio in Buffalo in 1850, where he painted mostly romantic genre paintings. In 1856 he traveled to Europe, and upon his return in 1858 he briefly settled in Buffalo. Moving to New York City in 1860, Beard set up a studio in the prestigious Tenth Street Studio Building where he began t
