About the Item
Sotheby's, Collection Boutet de Monvel: Paris April 5&6 2016. 1st Ed softcover auction catalog. Bernard Boutet de Monvel, was a groundbreaking painter of the café society who was highly influential to the Art Deco movement. Bernard Boutet de Monvel (1881-1949), painter of sportsmen and dandies, was also an interior designer and iconic illustrator of masculine elegance for publications including Harper’s Bazaar. As early as 1909, he heralded the Art Deco style and became the favored portraitist of the American café society. Prominent international millionaires—W. K. Vanderbilt, Lady Mendl, Millicent Rogers, the Maharaja of Indore, and the Astor, Whitney, Frick, and Du Pont dynasties—paraded through his studios in New York and Palm Beach. A key Precisionism artist, he reflected the industrial and urban modernity of America’s machine age in his stunning landscapes. He may have decorated his Paris house with 19th-century antiques, but in the 1930s and '40s no portraitist was considered more au courant. “He was, in America, the most important painter of the day, the painter of millionaires,” art historian Stéphane-Jacques Addade says, “like Andy Warhol would be in the '70s.” Precisely which Vanderbilts and Du Ponts sat for Boutet de Monvel was revealed at Sotheby's Paris on April 5 and 6, when 341 fascinating lots from the artist's Directoire hôtel particulier in the city's 7th arrondissement were put up for auction. Nearly 70 years after the so-called master of the elegant perished in a plane crash, his grandchildren have emptied the home. Among the offerings are pieces by Boutet de Monvel's father, Maurice, a once popular but now largely overlooked children's-book illustrator. “Though the auction is a good opportunity to rediscover Maurice,” Pascale Pavageau of Sotheby's 19th-century paintings department observes, “all the masterpieces are by Bernard.”
