About the Item

"The Blue Jacket" by Sophie Danielle Rubinstain (French 1922-2018) oil painting on canvas, unframed canvas: 28.5 x 19.5 inches provenance: the artists estate Wonderfully decorative original oil painting by the 20th century French surrealist painter, Sophie Rubinstain (1922-2018). It has impeccable provenance, having come from the artists studio sale in France (it is stamped verso). Wonderfully characterful portrait of this lady in a blue jacket - will make any interior really stand out! Sophie Danielle Rubinstain (1922-2018) was a French artist who led a fascinating life. We are delighted to offer several of her original paintings to you, over the coming weeks, all from the artists estate. Rubinstain served in the French Resistance during the latter part of World War II (from 1943 to 1944), aged just 21 years old. Arrested with her sister Rosa on denunciation and deported to Auschwitz, they were released in May 1944 in Bergen Belsen after the death march and were able to return to Paris on June 5, 1945 (Jewish Combat Organization - Resistance / Rescue France 1940-1945 - Editions Autrement - Memories Collection p 107). As an artist, Rubinstain was described as an "essentialist" in the National Directory of Fine Arts, though her work was most often exhibited in the Expressionism and Symbolism sections of the main French salons. From the 1950's onwards, she exhibited with the: Salon of French Artists, Salon of Realities News, Salon des Independants, Exhibition of Free Art, Member of the Union of Women painters and Sculptors..... as well as the following galleries.... Galerie Renoir and Galerie Nouvelle Europe Brussels 1958, Galerie Silvagni Paris Quai Voltaire 1952 and several times at the Galerie Bernheim Jeune. Her work was the subject of many articles in The Artistic News - The Journal of the Amateur Art - The Artistic and Literary Awakening .... as well as in the Daily Mail in 1952...."A strong perception, dynamically expressed with colors with attractive contrasts. This is the essentialism developed by this artist. Authentic art, translating symbolically, with a rare chromatic intensity, the human dramas, the spiritual elevation. Quality and depth invite to meditation". Condition Report: The painting is in overall good condition. The canvas is slightly loose to the stretcher.

Woman in Blue , Nuremberg, Nahuel Huapi region, Argentina
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'H. Lauer' for Hans Lauer, (Argentine-German, 1902-1989) and dated 1965. Hans Lauer emerges as a sympathetic chronicler of Patagonian light, a German-born landscapist who made Argentina his country and Bariloche his enduring motif. Born in Nuremberg in 1902, he emigrated to Argentina in 1920 and fixed his practice in the Nahuel Huapi region, painting the blue-white atmospheres of the lake basin and the sheltering stands of native forest with a direct, self-taught hand; he remained rooted there until his death in Bariloche in 1989. Contemporary reports place him working across northern Patagonia—San Martín de los Andes among his circuits—where he translated the temperate Andean palette into sober oils and watercolors keyed to weather and season rather than to metropolitan fashions. Autodidact by formation, he belongs to that émigré cohort who stitched European discipline to local terrain, and by the 1950s–60s his production reflects an assured, observational plein-air habit that privileges structure over effect. While Bariloche provided the studio and the subject, his name also circulates in Buenos Aires contexts through collectors and dealers who sought Patagonian views during the mid-century tourism boom, an afterlife that helped keep his vistas in the market even as he remained geographically anchored to the south. Within the regional history of Argentine painting...
