Estimate $750-$900

The offered lot is related to a number of similar works that Cone executed between 1933 and 1936. It would seem likely that the offered lot was executed around the same time as Cones paintings titled Washing Out-Stone City, circa 1933 (catalog #282) Old Quarry, circa 1933-34 (catalog #292), and River Bend (catalog #308). Furthermore it would seem possible that this painting was done in the field while Cone was an instructor at Stone City Art Colony.

Founded with a Carnegie Foundation grant, and under the leadership of the Cedar Rapids Artists Association director Edward B. Rowan, Stone City Art Colony was the Midwest’s answer to the various east coast and west coast artist colonies that became popular at the first part of the 20th century. Outdoor summer teaching was the cornerstone of the short-lived artist colony. It was there that Cone applied his craft in the traditional academic method as instructor painting landscapes for the benefit of his students who were then expected to paint the same setting.

As is illustrated in the offered lot, Cone was without question a master of subtleness in his unique depiction of Midwest landscapes. In an interview for the Coe College Cosmos in the early 1930’s Cone said: “Art is one’s reaction to his surroundings. It may be only a new light thrown upon something that before seemed insignificant. In a landscape it may be only a new slant upon a familiar scene…” Indeed it is was Cones “slant” on depicting landscapes that more than anything else, brought him a degree of financial success as an artist.

MARVIN CONE (American 1891-1964) "Plant with Woman" oil on canvas. 17"x13".

Estimate $18,000-$25,000

Provenance:
Marvin Cone
To Gordon Fennell
To a private Midwest collector

Plant with Woman is a good example of Cones penchant for still life paintings, which he clearly mastered. His attention to detail particularly in composition and balance are clearly illustrated in the offered lot. The tall and slender slightly curving plant form is echoed in the female nude painting in the background, which rests against the wall of Cones cramped studio. In an interview given in the early 1930’s Cone said of still lifes, “There are many advantages in the study of still life…The charm of still life lies in the greater chance of expression. Still life offers to the painter a greater choice in color, background, perspective, and light…The life blood of art lies in the fact that no two people react to their surroundings in the same way…Art is not didactic, moral or religious; its chief mission is to give enjoyment and to enhance the value and appreciation of life.”

A copy of a letter from the artist’s wife discussing this work and other works accompanies the lot.

Cone and Grant Wood: An American Tradition, page 62, cat. #61).

JOHN FERY (Austrian/American 1859-1934)
Lake Josephine and Grinnell Glacier, Glacier National Park
Oil on canvas. Signed lower right “J. Fery”. Verso also signed and inscribed with size and “Mt. Shasta”. 40”x60”.
Estimate $8,000-$12,000

Provenance: Private collection, Minnesota.

John Fery was born in 1859 into a prominent and wealthy Austrian family, and grew up on his father’s estate, located between Linz and Salzburg. He studied art in Vienna with Gripenkerl, in Dusseldorf with peter Janse, and in Karlsruhe with Schwenlehr.
Fery also studied in Munich. He declined a permanent position at the famous Dusseldorf Academy, preferring to come to the United States to practice his art and to follow his interest in wilderness scenery.
Fery came to American in 1886 and he lived on the Eastern seaboard for about five years. He quickly established himself as a successful painted of American landscape and hunting scenes, living for several years at Lake George and in the Catskill Mountain region, and later in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and New Jersey. Around 1890 he returned briefly to Europe.
It appears that the result of his return to Europe was the organization of a hunting party led by Fery, which spent the years 1892 and 1893 traveling through the Midwest and far West United States in search of wilderness scenery and wild game. An undated article from the Milwaukee Journal provides a glimpse of the tour: “John Fery, a native of Hungary (sic), and as such a sportsman of the word’s best meaning, conceived the idea, of organizing a party of lovers of the chase, selected from the European gentry and members of the aristocracy, for hunting trip in the virgin hunting grounds of Northern Rockies of America, which the completion of the Northern Pacific (Railroad) had brought into the lime-light of European notice at that time. A call issued to that effect by Mr. Fery in Hunter’s Journal was soon answered by Count Bleuchar, by Count Zepplin, Harry Meisenback, inventor of the half-tone process, and four other persons who together with Mr. Fery made up a party of eight huntsmen and started for the U.S. in 1893.”
The itinerary of the group included Lake Michigan, New Mexico, Arizona, the Grand Canyon of Colorado, California, Oregon, and Wyoming. Fery published an article recounting his experiences in the European Hunter’s Journal under the title “Eine Jagt in Wyoming.” He led a second expedition to the West in 1895, and these adventures were the beginning of his career as a painter of the Western landscape.
Fery’s greatest patron was the Great Northern Railroad. He was commissioned to do paintings of the scenery along the railroad’s route through the West, particularly in Glacier National Park. He was an important artistic stimulant in the creation of Glacier National Park, just as Moran had been earlier in the creation of Yellowstone National Park and Grand Canyon of the Colorado Park.
Fery died in Everett, Washington in 1934.

Gustave Singier is termed an "Ecole de Paris" artist. He was actually born in Belgium He was a purist in abstraction, an avant-garde artist who exhibited in the show "Twelve Painters of today", held in Paris in 1943. He had exhibited through the Salon d'automne and des Independents throughout the 1930s. He had a major one-man show in Stockholm and Brussels in 1951 and 53 respectively. He showed throughout the 1950s at the Salon du Mai.
The arrival of Kandinsky and Magnelli in Paris in 1933 had been a major influence eon the Ecole de Paris. However, rather than copying the masters they developed their own artistic language. They departed from the formal severit of Kandinsky's compositions and merged a pure abstraction with a new set of aims. Alongside the other great post-war abstract artist, Alfred Manessier, Singier progressed the form dynamically throughout the next forty years.

*Provenance:
Atlier Dore Gallery 1982-1988
Ms. Whoopi Goldberg and Mr. Ed Gold 1988-1992
Mr. Ed Gold 1992-2003
Acquired by the present owners, Mr. Bruce Wildstein and Mr. Basil Collier, Beverly Hills California, from Mr. Ed Gold in July of this year

The offered lot appears to have been created from the outset as a fireplace screen. The remaining parts of the wood frame that accompanies this lot is set with a pair of slightly arched feet, attached to the base of the frame, which would allow it to stand upright. It is perhaps related to an over mantle painting executed in the year 1912 for Grant Woods friend Kate Loomis, see (James M. Dennis, Grant Wood A Study in American Art and Culture, University of Missouri Press, 1986, page 23, figure #6) However, the highly developed landscape and foliage may suggest a slightly
later date.

According to information provided by the current consignor, the painting first surfaced in California in 1982. It was acquired and then offered by the San Francisco Gallery Atelier Dore. It was then offered at a charity auction held in Los Angeles, California in 1988 which was sponsored by Michael Jackson and where it was acquired by Ms. Whoopi Goldberg and Mr. Ed Gold

The painting is also accompanied by a photocopy of a hand written and notarized opinion regarding this painting offered by Grant Woods sister Nan Wood Graham who examined the painting first hand in March of 1983 and at which time stated that she believed the painting to be an “authentic creation of my brother, Grant Wood…”
