Lot 1626 | William Merrit Chase
(1849 Williamsburg/Nineveh/Indiana/USA - 1916 New York City) Porträt vom Emily Court Impressionistisches, in hellem, pastelltonigem Kolorit gemaltes Brustporträt Emily Courts mit Sommerhut vor einem Landschaftshintergrund, in der rechten Hand eine Zigarettenspitze haltend. Bereits zu Lebzeiten galt Chase als "der amerikanische Impressionist", er war einer der einflussreichsten Künstler und Kunstlehrer seiner Generation. Nach seinem Studium an der Münchener Akademie kehrte er 1878 nach New York zurück, wo sein Atelier rasch zu einem der bedeutendsten Künstlerateliers der USA wurde. Seitdem unterrichtete er zugleich an mehreren Kunstschulen und Akademien in New York, Brooklyn und Pennsylvania, seit 1891 in der von ihm gegründeten, später legendären Shinnecock Hills Summer School auf Long Island. Mit seiner freien, fortschrittlichen Malweise führte Chase die amerikanische Kunst in die Moderne - zu seinen Schülern gehörten u. a. Georgia O’Keeffe und Edward Hopper. Ein Schaffensschwerpunkt, vor allem im späteren Oeuvre, bildeten Porträts, die er oft in Landschaften komponierte. Öl/Leinwand; Rechts unten signiert; Verso bezeichnet mit Angaben zur Dargestellten. 61 cm x 51 cm. Rahmen. /P/Provenienz: Auktion Reiss & Sohn, Königstein, 2008; deutsche Privatsammlung. Oil on canvas. Signed. Inscribed with information about the sitter on the reverse.
