Moïse Kisling (1891-1953)

A recurring theme in Kisling's work, the mimosa lends itself to impasto and harmonious coloring like no other flower. The painter created this sunny bouquet shortly after moving to the South of France.

A humanist couple’s diamonds and bright bouquet helped a worthy charity, the Fondation des Petits Frères des pauvres.

Modern artists Constantine Korovin, Henri Hayden, Moïse Kisling and Alfred Boucher celebrated fruits and flowers.

Their apartment on avenue Foch in Paris was brimming with treasures, from paintings by Derain and Kisling to a pietra dura (hardstone) table and elegant jewelry.

Time stands still in this painting, undoubtedly the first in a series Kisling devoted to Marseille, a city he loved. Featuring an unusual composition, it is likely to create quite a stir among his admirers.

A softened Fauvism and a scientific composition are what make this Norman landscape modern. 

Two female figures by Calder and Jeanne Hébuterne won unanimous acclaim at this decidedly modern sale.

The Couple, which has never come up for auction before, reintroduces us to an astonishingly modern artist, who was part of the 1920s Paris art scene.

The most Parisian of Dutch artists, Van Dongen left high society for a moment to concentrate on two little girls.

Free-spirited, headstrong Jeanne Tachard ranks among the 1920s’ leading patrons. She commissioned works from French cabinetmaker and designer Pierre Legrain and was a pioneering collector of African art.
