Kilka dni temu zakończyłą się aukcja innego arcydzieła Henryka Stażewskiego. Nie było chętnych za wyjsciowe 18,000 euro (https://polishartcorner.com/2020/09/22/henryk-stazewski-1894-1988-32/ ). Ta praca z Ketterer jest wyceniona niżej. Może ta jest gorsza skoro jest niżej wyceniona?

Praca bardzo dobra lecz równocześnie odbiegająca od twórczości Rubczaka. Nie jest sygowana. Skąd wiadomo, że namalował ją Jan Rubczak? Trzeba pytać i czekać na wyjaśnienia.
Lot 55. Jan RUBCZAK (Stanislawow 1882 – Auschwitz 1942). A Breton woman, in the evening. Original oil on canvas, 60 x 81 cm. Estimate 800 – 1,200 euro. Millon. 11/10/20
Czytelnik otrzymał z domu aukcyjnego Millon dodatkowe fotografie i tłumaczenie dlaczego obraz ten został namalowany przez Jana Rubczaka.
Z fotografii wyłania sie na blejtramie wyrysowany jakimś tępym narzędziem nazwisko Jana Robczaka (dokładnie wg pisowni JAN RUBCZACK), czyli Rubczacka (sic!) oraz napis miejscowości CAP SIZUN. Dokładne wyjaśnienie: Cap Sizun is located in South Ouest of Brittany, in France. We guarantee that this work is painted by Jan Rubczak. Jan Rubczak arrive for the first time in Brittany in 1911 and will come back there several times. Lot n° 55, Une Bretonne le soir, is painted very early, circa 1911. It is typical of Jan Rubczak’s Brittany early style.
Dość to mętne i nieprawdopodobne jak na Millon, lecz trzeba przyzwyczaić się do spadku formy we Francji. (11/07/20)

Trzy serie rysunków Aleksandra Orłowskiego pojawily się w Christie’s. Seria obecna zawiera cztery prace tych samych wymiarów. Warto przyjrzeć się z jaką brawurą artysta ten rysował.

Zofia Szałowska. Still life with a fruit bowl on an entablature on a background of trees
Gdybym napisał, że malarstwo Zofii Szałowskiej jest słabo znane na rynku aukcyjnym w Polsce to bym skłamał bo jest zupełnie nieznane. Więcej o artystce, niestety z nekrologu oraz ze wspomnienia: http://www.vectorpolonii.com/w-wieku-82-lat-w-paryzu-zmarla-polska-malarka-zofia-szalowska/. Daleko jestem by prezentować jedynie znanych polskich artystów, na jakich można zarobić – pokazuję równiez prace nieznanych lub bardzo mało znanych.
Lot 12. Zofia SZALOWSKA (born 1935): Still life with a fruit bowl on an entablature on a background of trees. Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. 80 x 63 cm at sight. Estimate 80 – 120 euro. Pousse-Cornet. 11/09/20

Maria Melania Mutermilch.ELISABETH, ZACHARIA AND SAINT JEAN-BAPTIST CHILD
Prace Meli Muter wyjątkowo obrodziły w tym sezonie. Opis katalogowy dość dobrze wyjaśnia pochodzenie tych prac.
Maria Melania Mutermilch, CHILD VIRGIN WITH HOLY AND TWO PRAYER CHARACTERS
Lot 24. MELA MUTER (1876-1967) MELA MUTER (1876-1967) ELISABETH, ZACHARIA AND SAINT JEAN-BAPTIST CHILD (RECTO) CHILD VIRGIN WITH HOLY AND TWO PRAYER CHARACTERS (BACK) Oil on double-sided panel. Signed lower left on one side and right on the other. Double sided oil on panel; signed lower left and right. 142 X 122 CM – 55 7/8 X 48 IN. PROVENANCE: Acquired in the 1980s from Fressynette Billon in Les Angles (Gard) by the present owner. Private collection, France. This work belongs to a cycle of large double-sided compositions – at least four according to Fressynette Billon – which the artist’s specialists agree that they were painted by Mela Muter in the 1940s and 1950s. Taking as their theme the life of Christ and his precursors, they are painted on panels coated with gesso, which gives them the matt appearance of a fresco. One side of this work can be compared to a painting by Mela Muter presented by Christie’s, Tel Aviv, 6 April 2002, lot 45 and, for a composition belonging to the same cycle, to a double-sided painting presented by Sotheby’s, London, 30 November 2016, lot 53. “The technique often employed by Mela Muter achieves very special effects. From one brushstroke to the next the canvas remains white and naked, an area where the reasonable dream of memory freely restores hue and tone.” Robert Rey, Mela Muter, Catalogue d’exposition, Paris, Galerie Joseph Billet, s.é., Paris : 1924, n. p. “I think that Mela Muter has reasoned her art as a painter and poet, which is not limited, which only specifies its measure in her ambition to instruct the world of the secret of bringing everything to its lyrical value, an ambition more pressing than that of limiting these chances of lyricism (which are in fact universal) to a few occasions arbitrarily given as exemplary among all. …] Mela Muter, from the very first days of her happy and laborious career, was one of those innovators who were the enemies of false originality, artists and poets who, as Picasso said, influenced each other in turn, and one of whose high aims was to bring art back to life. This is why Mela Muter’s art, freed from the sour feelings of her immediate predecessors, is not literally a theme of joy, out of the universal rhythm. …] No one better than Mela Muter, far from having recourse to any other art than her own, will have warmly lavished these calm effusions fixing as an ideal point the direct properties of shapes and colours and what commands the world of words. Orphic realism which is enough, even if the author, painter for poet, claims to have some prefiguration of a sovereign future.” André Salmon, “The Painting of Mela Muter”, in Literary Poland, December 15, 1933, No. 87, p. 5. Estimate 20,000 – 30,000 euro. Tajan. 11/24/20. Sold 58,000 euro
Stefania Ordyńska – Morawska.BOUQUET DE FLEURS DANS UN VASE VERT
Prace tej artystki są umiarkowanie obecne w Polsce na aukcjach. Dominują chyba podobne martwe natury kwiatowe. Wciśnięcie wazonu z kwiatami w ciemny róg pokoju daje mi wrażenie ponurości. Pejzaże tej malarki są chyba znacznie lepsze.
Lot 21. STEFANIA ORDYNSKA-MORAWSKA (1882-1968). BOUQUET DE FLEURS DANS UN VASE VERT. Huile sur toile Signée ‘Ordyn’ en bas à droite Oil on canvas; signed ‘Ordyn’ lower right 54 X 65 CM – 21 1/4 X 25 5/8 IN. PROVENANCE Collection particulière, France. Estimate 500 – 700 euro.
