Niezła martwa natura Mojżesza Kislinga z certyfikatem. Pozostaje jedynie obraz wylicytować i mieć pieniądze na zapłacenie. Może ktoś wie czy nowe taryfy Trumpa obejmują również malarstwo? Pod koniec XIX wieku amerykańskie cła praktycznie zlikwidowały eksport do USA malarstwa europejskiego.

List o powyższej treści nadszedł dzisiaj na adres Polish Art Corner. Polskim domom aukcyjnym, galeriom sztuki radzę kontaktować się bezpośrednio z firmą p. Marca Ottavi odnośnie wystawianych prac Mojżesza Kislinga bo czasy bezkarnego wprowadzania na rynek falsyfikatów jego prac należą do przeszłości. Powyższy falsyfikat został wystawiony na portalu OneBid przez gdańską Galerię Akwarium. A propos OneBid, to firma ta zamienia się powoli w gnojowisko falsyfikatów i żadne stowarzyszenie antykwariuszy temu już ani nie zaprzeczy ani też nie przeciwstawi się.

Obraz pojawił się w czerwcu tego roku w niemieckim domu Hampel i rzekomo został sprzedany za 80,000 euro: https://polishartcorner.com/2024/06/17/mojzesz-moise-kisling-1891-1953-84/. Problemem jest brak chęci Marka Ottawi umieszczenia tego obrazu w katalogu raisonne prac mistrza. Wkrótce po tej aukcji obraz znalazł się Szwajcarii, gdzie bez sukcesu usiłowano go sprzedać za wyższą cenę. Obecnie osoby mające dużą chęc na płótno mogą go zaleźć w katalogu francuskiego domu aukcyjnego Cannes Enchères z wyceną 100,000 – 130,000 euro. Obraz ten krąży na rynku jak ‘niebieski’ Fangor, choć do SDA jeszcze nie dotarł.

Cudowny portret Marguerite Gross, która była siostrą żony Mojżesza Kislinga, Renee. Kilka jej portretów w wykonaniu artysty jest znanych i były one w ostatnich latach na rynku, np. https://polishartcorner.com/2023/10/24/mojzesz-moise-kisling-1891-1953-70/. Może błędem domu aukcyjnego Sotheby’s było ustawienie Kislinga obok Tamary Łempickiej – nazwisko Kislinga być może zostało tym przyćmione. Oferta $75,000 nie przebiła jednak ceny rezerwowej i obraz spadł z aukcji. Cztery lata temu ten sam obraz był wyceniony w Szwajcarii na CHF 80,000.

The École de Paris department announces the sale of two major works by Moïse Kisling, the emblematic Polish-born painter of the École de Paris. These two works, from Moïse Kisling’s personal collection, remained in the artist’s family through inheritance, and were subsequently acquired from the family by the current owner. These two paintings, “Jeune gitan” (Young Gypsy) and “Nu assis sur l’herbe” (Nude sitting on the grass) were painted in Sanary in the painter’s villa studio “La Baie”, the plans for which were drawn up by his wife Renée. These two works are reproduced in black and white in Volume I of the artist’s catalog raisonné, are reproduced in reference publications and have been exhibited many times in France and abroad, notably in Japan. The painting “Jeune gitan” (“Young Gypsy”), executed in 1952, is an iconic work in the Young Boys series. The model, with his large black eyes, fine features and stylized hair, tenderly embodies the beauty of young manhood that Kisling repeatedly depicted. From the same collection comes a monumental, sculptural nude, Nu assis sur l’herbe, dating from 1950. According to oral tradition in the artist’s family, Kisling had a particular preference for this painting, which he kept at home and which we are presenting here today: Nu assis sur l’herbe.

Moïse Kisling’s fame is partly due to the nude genre, which he esteemed and celebrated throughout his career. Here, there are no famous models reclining on a couch or studio nudes embodying the woman of the ’50s. On the contrary, quite exceptionally, the artist paints here an idealized nude, timeless, almost unreal. The artist unveils a Venus, a nymph or a modern bather. The coiled hair at the temple, extending down to the grass, echoes the ancient myth of the birth of Venus. Hypothetically seated beside a stream, this modern nymph, with her pure, universal gaze and a modest smile on her face, seems to belong to a distant past, while at the same time conveying the painter’s particular modernity.

This non-commissioned work, which the artist keeps in his personal collection, is in a way a manifesto of his vision of the art of the nude in 1950. Kisling works on the nude in the classical sense of the term, delivering a work with multiple references to ancient and modern painting, and probing the essence and artistic codes of the nude genre.

Ancient statuary is one of the fundamental artistic sources for the nude, and Kisling creates a monumental, sculptural reconstruction of a dreamed-of antiquity.

This figure of massive, sculptural proportions recalls some of the canons of Greek and Roman antiquity, while at the same time exaggerating them. The artistic sources appear multiple. The painting also echoes Old Masters such as Titian, as well as the work of Jean-Dominique Ingres. The central position of the subject and anatomical deformations are features that the painter was able to study at the Louvre, particularly in front of La Grande Odalisque and La Baigneuse de Valpinçon. Kisling also drew on the paintings of Renoir and his massive nudes. Indeed, the painter was able to study Reno

Lot 59. Moïse KISLING (Krakow 1891 – Sanary sur Mer 1953). Seated nude. Circa 1930. Oil on canvas 34.3 x 27.4 cm. Signed lower right “Kisling”. We would like to thank Mr. Marc Ottavi for verbally confirming the authenticity of this work. “Kisling brought realist painting to its highest potential through his frantic need to create. He doesn’t seduce at first. He surprises and conquers by force. Then his enchantments take effect. One never forgets Kisling’s works, for they are as different as their subjects themselves… He never repeats himself, and each of his works is a new experience of color. His love of life, his sensual and paroxysmal temperament, his prodigious health, make him the most powerful colorist of the Ecole de Paris.” Florent Fels, Kisling, artistes juifs, Paris, Edition Le Triangle, 1928, p.16.
