About the Item

Henri Ottmann Le Guéridon (The Pedestal Table) 1877-1927 Oil on canvas, signed lower right and dated 1906 Image size: 25 1/4 x 31 1/2 inches (64.4 x 80.2 cm) Provenance Bernard Toublanc-Michel Collection Literature Henry Ottmann Catalogue Raisonné, Bernard Toublanc-Michel, 2020, Lelivredart, p.70 Henri Ottmann Born in Ancenis in Loire-Atlantique in 1877, Ottmann began his artistic career as a painter and printmaker in Brussels at the beginning of the 20th century. He began his studies in 1896 at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, but was interrupted the following year when mandatory military service in the 64th Infantry Regiment forced Ottmann to return to Ancenis. Abhorring military life, Ottmann faked his own drowning in the Loire. Whilst on the run, he survived by painting and selling unsigned work. It was also during this fugitive period that he met and married Marianne Capron, with the two of them fleeing to Belgium. It was in Brussels that Ottmann’s first exhibition took place, at the Salon La Libre Esthetique in 1904. Shortly after this, Ottmann and his wife did return to France, where he subsequently participated in prestigious exhibitions such as the Salon des Independants in Paris from 1905, the Salon d’Automne, the Salon Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the Salon des Tuileries. Despite this success at the Salons, Ottmann’s early career was marked by extreme financial difficulties. As a result, his formative years as an artist were spent painting works that appealed to collectors and commercial galleries, rather than developing his own distinct style. As he gained more success, this individual style did develop, particularly in relation to still life paintings which, alongside nude paintings, are the subject matter Ottmann is most renowned for. Ottmann’s oeuvre before the First World War was heavily influenced by the French Impressionist movement, particularly the works of Renoir, and he often exhibited within this artistic circle of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and Fauves. In 1911 and 1912, Ottmann exhibited at the Artiste de la Société Moderne at the Gallery of the French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Durand-Ruel represented many prominent French Impressionist painters, including Armand Guillaumin and Henri Lebasque. In 1912, he also exhibited at the Galerie of Eugene Druet, a French photographer and art dealer whose gallery had exhibited works from Georges Pissarro, Charles Camoin, Albert Marquet, Maurice Denis and Paul Cezanne. At the outbreak of the war, Ottmann was registered as a conscientious objector. Instead of a combatant role, he worked as a nurse for a military hospital in Ancenis - intriguingly, many of his fellow nurses were his portrait clients and patrons. During the years of conflict, he continued to produce art and hosted an exhibition at Druet’s gallery in 1917. From 1919, Ottmann was involved in creating woodcut illustrations for the ‘Drawings and Signed Wood’ section in the Nantes-based literary and artistic magazine La Gerbe. These illustrations were displayed among others by Impressionist artists such as Paul Signac and Henriette Tirman. In the early 1920s, Ottmann exhibited at the Marcel Bernheim Gallery and the Exposition du Cercle Artistique de Bruzelles, with the latter exhibition displaying his works alongside those of Charles Guerin, Henri Matisse, Paul-Abert Besnard and Andre Lhote. Ottmann continued to exhibit to great success, enjoying shows at L. Dru and La Palette Francaise in 1926, and the Galerie Armand Drouand in 1927. His works were even exhibited as far away as Beirut, New York, Detroit, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo. Tragically, Ottmann’s life was cut short in a car accident in Vermon in 1927. Driving to an exhibition of his works in Rouen, a burst tire caused his car to roll over in which Ottmann suffered a fractured skull and spine. After being transported in a coma to a clinic in Vernon, Ottmann tragically passed from his injuries at the young age of 49 years old. If Ottmann had not been involved in this tragedy, it is likely that his artworks and distinct style would have earned him a deservedly high reputation. Nonetheless, Ottmann’s works can be found in many French Museums, including the Modern Museum and the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. A number of his works were destroyed during the Second World War, particularly his works in collections in Berlin, Hamburg and Nagasaki. Subsequently, the conflicts in the Middle East destroyed a large portion of Ottmann’s oeuvre, held in Beirut by collector Mr Charles Corm. Ottmann’s surviving works are largely in private collections, and are very rarely seen or sold.

Prayer for Those in Peril at Sea, 19th Century English Oil Painting

By William Gale (British)

Located in London, GB

Oil on canvas, monogrammed lower left and inscribed on reverse Image size: 20 x 24 inches (51 x 61 cm) Original gilt frame Provenance Mrs. Georgina Gale (Artists Widow) Bristol, Bristol Art Gallery, A collection of paintings by William Gale, January 1914, no. 12 Private collection William Gale exhibited a number of charming genre scene's in the Pre-Raphaelite style, of which the present is an exquisite example. This work has a strong nautical theme as suggested by the title. Through the small window at the back of this interior room we glimpse the sea, seemingly calm and peaceful. Despite its appearance, the threat of sea is reminded to us with the poster over the bed inscribed with the phrase 'Man Overboard'. This is cleverly echoed by the toy sail boat that lies at an angle, tipped to one side on the bedcovers. As we examine this image of boy and mother one can also identify a picture mounted on the wall of a man in a sailors uniform...
