FRANCIS BACON (Dublin, 1909- Madrid, 1992). "Three studies for a self-portrait". Lithograph on Arches paper, E.A. copy. Signed and justified by hand. Work acquired at the Coskun Gallery in London in 2008. Size: 52 x 94 cm; 79 x 121 cm (frame). Francis Bacon is the author of some of the most striking and unprecedented paintings in contemporary art. His style, obsessive, tormented and heartbreaking, is a clear document of the hardship experienced in Europe after the Second World War. His works are currently fetching stratospheric sums at international auctions, making him one of the most sought-after artists on the art market today. A reflection of this is the triptych "Three Studies by Lucian Freud (1969)", which in 2013 reached a record sale price of 142 million dollars at public auction, making it one of the three most expensive works in history. Some of his works can be seen in the world's most important art galleries, such as the Tate Britain in London (which has one of the artist's most extensive collections), the MET and the Moma in New York, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Reina Sofía. "Three Studies for a Self-Portrait" emphatically defines what Bacon's art was all about. Decomposed, isolated, disturbing and spiritual figures that, far from seeking a specific resemblance to the person depicted, delve into the spirituality of the sitter. Here we see the abstraction, fragmentation and distortion of the painter's face, a key aspect in Bacon's artistic development, a consequence of the life events that made his existence a fervent time bomb about to explode. Through his work he expresses his vital condition, which is also linked to his self-destructive side, thus managing to express loneliness, violence and degradation. Born in Dublin, although of English parents, Francis Bacon began painting as a self-taught artist. When he was only 17, in 1927, the Paul Rosemberg gallery opened its doors to the painter. There he became acquainted with the work of Pablo Picasso, an artist he would admire throughout his career. Like Picasso, other painters made an impression on Bacon's work: Velázquez (whose version of Pope Innocent X he painted, producing at least 40 "popes") and Nicolas Poussin, whose "The Massacre of the Innocents", now in the Musée Condé, aroused intense emotion in him. In 1945 he exhibited in London, together with the English artists Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland, his painting Three Studies for Figures at the Foot of a Crucifixion (c. 1944), a triptych which, according to Bacon himself, marked the starting point of his career. By 1945 Bacon had developed his own unmistakable style. In 1949 the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA) bought an impressive work by Bacon entitled Painting 1946. In 1956 he was invited to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale alongside Ben Nicholson and Lucian Freud. With his work, Bacon decided that the subject of his paintings would be both life in death and death in life. He sought to express his vital condition, which was also linked to his self-destructive side. Michel Leiris suggested to him that masochism, sadism and similar manifestations were really just ways of feeling more human. Portraits and self-portraits constitute an important part of Bacon's paintings, among them George Dyer in a Mirror of 1968, a work in which the painter suggests the vulnerability and fragility of the self. Bacon made portraits without poses taken from life, developed from photographs. He portrayed his intimate companions and friends as well as famous people: Peter Lacy, George Dyer and John Edwards, Henrietta Moraes, Isabel Rawsthorne, Muriel Belcher, Lucian Freud, Peter Beard and Michel Leiris, as well as Hitler, Pius XII and Mick Jagger. Some of his works can be seen in the most important art galleries in the world, such as the Tate Britain in London (which has one of the artist's most extensive collections), the MET and the Moma in New York, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Muse

China Chen, Wang Leporello mit 12 ganzseitigen Zeichnungen mit Landschaftsdarstellungen. 1720-1792. Je Tusche und Aquarell auf Seide, auf Unterlage montiert u. eingefasst in Seidenbordüre. Sichtmaß je ca. 27,5 x 39 cm. Je in der Darstellung in chinesischer Sprache bezeichnet sowie mit Stempelsignatur versehen. Gebunden als Leporello mit Holzdeckeln, VDeckel mit Gravur sowie 2 fragmentarisch erhaltenen Etiketten, hiervon eines in chin. Sprache beschriftet. Die Zeit der Quing-Dynastie (1644-1912), eine bewegte und ereignisreiche Ära in der Geschichte Chinas, war zugleich eine der schöpferischsten Epochen in der Geschichte der chinesischen Malerei. Geprägt von einer Mischung aus traditionellen Stilen sowie Einflüssen der westlichen Welt, welche von Jesuiten nach China gebracht wurden, zeichnete sich die Kunst der Malerei, der Keramik und des Kunsthandwerks durch eine neu gewonnene Vielfalt und Raffinesse aus und entwickelte sich über die bisher geltenden Grenzen normativer Darstellungen hinaus. - Wang Chen, ein Künstler dieser Dynastie, stammte aus Taicang in der Provinz Jiangsu. Entgegen aufkommender Neuerungen verpflichtete er sich Berichten zufolge einer strikten Beibehaltung traditioneller Maltechniken, weshalb er zusammen mit den Künstlern Wang Jiu, Wang Su und Wang Yu (1662-1748) nach der Malergruppe "Vier Wangs" als einer der "Vier kleinen Wangs" bezeichnet wurde. - In der traditionellen Malerei wird die Natur nicht als eigenständiges Thema behandelt, sondern vielmehr wird ihr Verhältnis zum Menschen und zum menschlichen Geist in Bezug auf sein Ausmaß erforscht. Zudem verlangt das Studium der Malerei einen langen Lernprozess und viel Übung, weshalb die Schüler oft über Jahre hinweg die Bilder ihrer Meister kopierten. In vorliegenden zwölf Zeichnungen studiert Wang Chen in scheinbar subtiler Einfachheit sowie unter der Verwendung von kräftigen Pinselstrichen die Werke von Künstlern wie Zhu Rui (Song-Dynastie), Cao Yunxi, Zhao Zhòngmù (Yuan-Dynastie), Huang Yifeng u.a. Die Zeichnungen je kalligraphisch bezeichnet und mit Stempelsignatur versehen ("Wang Chen" (vgl. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1989.363.163), "Wang Chén shuhuà", "Wang Chen zhiyìn" sowie "Zibing" und "Pengxin" als Beinamen von Wang Chen). - Materialbedingt nur wenig fleckig. Insgesamt sehr gut erhalten. China - Leporello with 12 full-page drawings depicting landscapes. Each ink and watercolour on silk, mounted on backing and framed in silk border. Each inscribed in Chinese in the image and with stamp signature. Bound as leporello with wooden covers, front cover with engraving and 2 fragmentary labels, one of which is inscribed in Chinese. - The period of the Quing Dynasty (1644-1912), a turbulent and eventful era in China's history, was also one of the most creative periods in the history of Chinese painting. Characterised by a mixture of traditional styles and influences from the Western world brought to China by Jesuits, the art of painting, ceramics and craftsmanship was characterised by a newfound diversity and sophistication and developed beyond the previous boundaries of normative representations. - Wang Chen, an artist of this dynasty, originated from Taicang in Jiangsu province. Contrary to the emerging innovations, he reportedly committed himself to a strict adherence to traditional painting techniques, which is why he, together with the artists Wang Jiu, Wang Su and Wang Yu (1662-1748), was named one of the "Four Little Wangs" after the painter group "Four Wangs". - In traditional painting, nature is not treated as a subject in its independence, but rather its relationship to man and the human spirit is explored in relation to its scale. Moreover, the study of painting requires a long process of learning and extensive practice, which is why students often spent years copying the paintings of their masters. In the present twelve drawings, Wang Chen studies the works of artists such as Zhu Rui (Song dynasty), Cao Yunxi, Zhao Zhòngmù (Yuan dynasty), Huang Yifeng and others with seemingly subtle simplicity and the use of bold brushstrokes. The drawings each inscribed in calligraphy and with stamp signature ("Wang Chen", "Wang Chén shuhuà", "Wang Chen zhiyìn" as well as "Zibing" and "Pengxin" as epithets of Wang Chen). - Only slightly stained due to the material. Altogether in very well preserved condition.
