Englebert Van Anderlecht (Brussels, 1918-1961) Rome 1, 1960 Oil on canvas 150 x 122 cm Signed, dated and titled on the reverse Inventory number 664 on the reverse Provenance: private collection, Brussels Literature: Serge Goyens de Heusch, Englebert Van Anderlecht, Mercator, 1998, ill. p. 207; Englebert Van Anderlecht, exhibition catalogue, MRBAB, Brussels, 1990, ill. n° 79 Exhibitions: Galerij M.A.S. Astene, march-april 1969; Museum van Deinze, Englebert Van Anderlecht, March-May 1990; MRBAB, Englebert Van Anderlecht, Brussels, 1990 In the shadow of war and its aftermath, Englebert Van Anderlecht began his career as an artist in the early 1940s, right in the midst of the global conflict. After this tragedy, the “young Belgian painting” movement brought together a group of artists in a state of euphoria. Their style was colorful and optimistic - a form of rebirth, a way to forget and move toward new horizons. By the late 1940s, there was a desire to recreate new rules - or rather, to affirm that there were no longer any rules. Creativity alone mattered and had to prevail over any form of academicism. Thus, Englebert Van Anderlecht turned toward abstraction at the end of the 1940s and definitively embraced it by the mid-1950s. His palette grew stronger, his tones deeper, and he adhered to a form of abstract expressionism. This style of painting reflected a worldwide desire for rupture and emancipation. In the United States, the tone was set by Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, from gestural to abstract expressionism. In France, a new generation emerged with Nicolas de Staël, Pierre Soulages, Simon Hantaï, and Judith Reigl. Belgium was no exception, with Antoine Mortier and Englebert Van Anderlecht, the latter being the most committed to the path of free or abstract expressionism. “I believe it is essential that there be men who do not accept established rules, who do not believe that truth is forever what a few moral leaders have decided it to be, who see that life is not merely the sum of all discoveries made so far. In this, I see a promise of freedom. We believe that everything remains to be done, that our earth is young, that we are not old men sunk into routine, and that the marvelous still awaits us tomorrow.” - Text by Englebert Van Anderlecht, 1960 Within this context, the large and striking canvas, Rome I, belongs to the period of maturity and recognition of this artist, who died prematurely in 1961 at the age of 43. The brush or paintbrush seems to whirl across the canvas like a ballet. The tones are deep, intense, applied with palpable strength and energy, while the final result bursts forth across the space. The work then takes on its full dimension, filling the surface with unmatched power - one of the finest works by this essential figure of Belgian painting.

paolo anesi
Paolo Anesi (Rome, 1697-1773) View of the Ponte Cestio from the Tiber island Oil on canvas 28 x 48 cm Provenance: anonymous sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot (Maître Baudoin), May 31st, 1919, lot n° 98 (Vanvitelli, View of a city-houses rise on both banks of a river crossed by a stone bridge. In the foreground, on the ground to the right, a fragment of a fluted column and a broken capital); private collection, France Literature: Olivier Michel, Biographical Research on Paolo Anesi, in Publications de l'École Française de Rome, Vivre à peindre à Rome au XVIIIe siècle, vol. 217, 1996, pp. 319–334 Praised during his lifetime as one of the most brilliant vedute painters of the eighteenth century in Italy, Paolo Antonio Anesi nevertheless remains a figure whose life and work are still little studied. Active in Rome, Anesi never left his native city. The panoramas offered by its hills provided him with a multitude of striking viewpoints. The Aventine, one of Rome’s seven hills, appears to have been a favourite subject. To produce his painting, Anesi positioned himself on the Isola Tiberina, a small island in the middle of the Tiber, connected to the left bank by the Ponte Cestio and to the right bank by the Ponte Fabricio.

pieter brueghel the younger
Pieter Brueghel the Younger (Brussels 1564-1638 Antwerp) The Payment of the Tithe or the Village Lawyer, 1622 Oil on panel 78.9 x 123.2 cm Signed and dated: P. BREVGHEL, 1622 Provenance: private collection, Belgium; Galerie Legenhoek, Paris, 1991; private collection, France Literature: Ertz, Klaus, Pieter Brueghel der Jüngere: Die Gemälde mit kritischem Oeuvrekatalog, Lingen, Luca Verlag, Vol. I, 2000, p. 513, cat. E 507, repr.; Curie, Christina, Allart, Dominique, The Brue[H]el Phenomenon, Brussels, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, vol. III, p. 1030-1031 This Payment of the Tithe, or The Village Lawyer, is marked by Pieter Brueghel the Younger’s verve, meticulous execution, and vibrant colours. The satirical subject mocks the profession of the lawyer responsible for collecting the heavy tax that the poorest peasants struggled to pay. The grotesque faces of the petitioners, as well as the lawyer’s prognathous jaw - associating him with the Spanish authorities then in power - fascinate through their caricatural force. This original composition by Pieter Brueghel the Younger stimulated the market of the time, generating strong demand. The success of this still-relevant satire has endured to the present day.

walter sauer
Walter Sauer (Brussels 1889-1927 Algiers) Pensive woman, circa 1925 Mixed media 78.5 x 61.3 cm Signed upper left 'WS Walter Sauer' Provenance: private collection A unique, elegant style characterises the art of Walter Sauer, an artist who, in his short lifetime, lit up the Belgian art scene in the first twenty years of the twentieth century. Sauer's hand has a sensitivity to form that is characteristic of decorators; reality, in his eyes, is stripped of that which is superfluous, showing the noble essence of form. This essentiality, combined with an absolutely personal technique, makes Sauer's works instantly recognisable. The figure of the woman is the leitmotif of the artist, who combines his vision of the model with a series of cultural references ranging from Japanese art to Western tradition.

Jacob Grimmer (Antwerp, 1525-1590) Winter landscape Oil on panel 37.3 x 51 cm Provenance: Antonie Palamedes Stevens (1601-1673), painter and collector; private collection, Austria; sale Versailles, 1937; private collection, Paris; sale Galliera, Paris, 29 November 1973 n° 20,21,22,23; private collection, Brussels Literature: R. de Bertier, Jacob et Abel Grimmer, 1991, ill. pp. 104-108 Received as a master of the Guild in 1547, Jacob Grimmer is amongst the great pioneering painters in the history of Northern painting. A contemporary of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, he shared with him a passion for nature; like him, he painted from life, and his works are filled with realism and genuine emotion. It is through the recurring theme of the seasons in his work that Jacob Grimmer expresses his innovative vision of the landscape, where shifting atmospheric moods adapt to everyday and secular scenes.

Alfredo Jaar (Chili, Santiago 1956) Life Magazine, 19 April 1968 1995 Three lightboxes, analog C-print on Duratrans 183 x 360 cm (entire dimension) 183 x 120 cm (one lightbox) Unique piece Life Magazine, 19 April 1968 (1995) by Alfredo Jaar is one of the Chilean artist’s iconic lightbox works in which he pointillistically engages an image from the public archive, intervening with his signature cutting precision to highlight social inequities and the politics of image making. The source image for this work is a documentary photograph of Martin Luther King’s funeral printed in 1968 in Life Magazine, the magazine of reference for a generation of Americans. In the image, a horse drawn casket is surrounded by supporters, and behind, a crowd fills the boulevard, stretching into the vanishing point beyond. It is a powerful representation of the late civil rights leader’s influence. The source photograph is presented large scale on the left third of the lightbox. In the center, the image is whited over, and in the place of faces in the crowd are black dots, massing and overflowing the street. In the rightmost part of the triptych, the source image is similarly whited out, but this time only a smattering of red dots appear — a handful scattered across the crowd. The artist placed black dots on the faces of African Americans. The red dots highlight White attendees. Created while Jaar was researching the Life archives for another iconic lightbox work, Searching for Africa in Life (1996), in which the artist reprints every cover of the magazine, highlighting through the punctum of the title the glaring absence of adequate representation of the continent, Life Magazine, 19 April 1968 (1995) similarly makes manifest a glaring absence. Through the precision of the artist’s intervention, and rendered in the artist’s signature clean lines, a singular gesture evokes the imbroglia of lingering racism and inequality in contemporary society.
