Tony Minartz |
 |
The Intermission |
 |
An engraver and self-taught painter who was influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec, Tony Minartz was a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts from 1901 and exhibited there over the course of two decades. He specialized in scenes of Parisian night life, music halls and cafes, such as this work ca. 1905. Benizet says: "he was best known for his interpretations of Parisian daily life, the festivals, the casino, the cafe-concert, the circus, the music-hall, the Opera and the ballets, of which he remains one of the truest chroniclers." Minartz’ works are found in the Hermitage Museum (from the collection of M.K. Morozova), among others. |

ANTOINE GUILLAUME “TONY” MINARTZ (French, 1870-1944)
An engraver and self-taught painter who was influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec, Tony Minartz was a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts from 1901 and exhibited there over the course of two decades. He specialized in scenes of Parisian night life, music halls and cafes. The Benizet art dictionary notes: "he was best known for his interpretations of Parisian daily life, the festivals, the casino, the cafe-concert, the circus, the music-hall, the Opera and the ballets, of which he remains one of the truest chroniclers." Minartz’ works are found in the Hermitage Museum (from the collection of M.K. Morozova), among others. The entertainer in this painting may be May Belfort, an Irish-born singer who was featured prominently in several works by Toulouse-Lautrec.

Frederik Hendrik Kaemmerer |
|
The Artist's Muse |
|
Dutch (1939 - 1902). Frederik Hendrik Kaemmerer studied under Gerome in Paris and then split his time between that city and The Hague. He gained considerable success with his small, highly finished works of elegant women. His success continued later in his life, when his brushwork become freer and more impressionistic. This work clearly looks to be from that later period and the sitter may well have been a favored model of the artist.

Alexander Harrison |
|
The Circle of the Sea |
|
(Thomas) Alexander Harrison (American, 1853 - 1930). The older brother of painter Birge Harrison, Alexander Harrison's first career was as a topographical draftsman for the U.S. Coastal Survey, following early studies in art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. By 1879, however, he was in Paris studying art with Jerome and Bastien-Lepage. Harrison remained in France for most of his adult life, exhibting extensively in Paris. He returned to the States often, however, where he work found great favor. Harrison received numerous exhibition medals on both sides of the Atlantic and his work can be found in numerous museums in the US and Europe. On his death in 1930, the New York Times described Harrison as the "dean of American painters."
Given its size, subject matter, and brilliant execution, this work clearly ranks as a major work by the artist. It combines the elements he was most noted for: the sea and its changing colors and movements at the end of the day; human figures (here two boys playing in the surf) and an element of symbolist mystery (branches bent into the shape of a circle held aloft by the two boys). |
