Estimate $300-$500

Provenance: Estate of the artist
Cedar Rapids Museum of Art
Acquired in these showrooms by the present owner

Lela Briggs was an extremely accomplished watercolorist who captured the rural experience with her colorful pallet and sensitive eye. She studied for a period at the Chicago Art Institute and summers at the University of Iowa, but was probably most influenced by her experience at Grant Wood’s Stone City Art Colony (1931-1933). Her subjects were her surroundings: a neighbor’s farm, a small country store, or her own barnyard. Her first major exhibition was the 1934 Iowa Art Salon where she received third prize for a watercolor work. From that time forward Briggs enjoyed numerous awards at the various exhibitions she entered. In 1942 she held her first of four “one woman” shows which produced an avid following. A farm wife/mother, raising two children in rural depression ridden America followed by war left little opportunity for Briggs to accept invitations to larger exhibitions outside Iowa. Her career was cut short with her sudden death at the age of 57 in 1953. While her works occasionally come up for auction, the bulk of her paintings (over 500) were donated to various museums upon the death of her husband Wilbur in 1988.

Marc Chapaud was born in Paris on the 31^st of July, 1941. In 1958 he enter the “Natione Superieure des Beaux Arts des Paris” to study architecture. This was largely due to the fact that his father was an architect. However, in 1960, he transferred to the study of painting. It seems that the fine arts tendencies inherited from his seamstress mother won out and in 1962, after a full course of studies, Chapaud left the Beaux des Arts. Since then, he has had many one-man exhibitions, mainly in Paris, but also in the U.S. and Japan. He is principally a landscape painter but his architectural and artistic background make him skilled at handling old buildings with their marvelous textures and their wealth of light and shadows as exhibited in the offered lot.

In June of 1920, Cone, together with fellow Cedar Rapids artist Grant Wood, traveled to France on a painting excursion. A year earlier, Cone had spent about five months studying at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Montpellier France, after having served in the U.S. Army as an interpreter and aide to General Hubert Allen.

RUFUS PORTER (American 1792-1884) 
The Dr. Francis Howe House Murals
Westwood, Massachusetts, circa 1838

To Be Sold In Five Separate Lots

Rufus Porter was born into a successful Massachusetts farm family, on May 1, 1792 and soon after resettled with his family in Maine. His place in American art history is that of our foremost early mural painter. Additionally, as a portrait painter he was first to develop a method for large scale production of quick, inexpensive portraits for the masses.

A Renaissance man if ever there was, Porter's nomadic life introduced him to a multitude of disciplines, which he engaged with great interest. beginning as an apprentice in his brother's shoemaking shop, Porter then walked to Portland, Maine where he spent three years playing the fife for military companies and the violin for parties. He then began a successful career as a house and sign painter. He also painted sleighs, drums and boats. This was followed by his involvement as a schoolteacher, builder, dancing school instructor, and a writer.

It is believed that between the years of 1817 and 1819, Porter joined the crew of a trade ship and voyaged to the northwest coast and Hawaii. Porter fathered 16 children with two different wives, but rarely stayed home for any length of time. From 1820-1940 Porter worked steadily as an itinerant artist. His specialty was landscape painting on walls of rooms, which he discussed in the book Curious Arts, which he wrote and published in 1825. He is credited with decorating well over 150 homes. His frescos, like the offered lots, were executed in large scale on dry plaster walls. His simple renditions provided affordable substitutes for the fashionable but expensive and elaborate imported scenic wallpaper.

Porter was both a visionary and extremist. He founded several scientific journals including Scientific American, and was a prolific inventor/designer. Unfortunately, Porter was not a savvy businessman and never profited from his many inventions instead, usually selling his ideas rather than patenting them. One well-known invention that Porter failed to benefit from was his idea of the revolving rifle, which he sold for $100 to a young clothing manufacturer named Samuel Colt.

The following Porter murals are from the house of Dr. Francis Howe, in Westwood, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1818 and was later demolished in 1965, at which time the offered lots were carefully reinforced and then removed. These murals are significant in that they are the only known examples that are both signed and dated by Porter. The stairway mural is signed "R. Porter, 1838" on a rocky outcrop and above that is the signature "S.T. Porter" - Stephen Twombly Porter, Rufus Porter's son.

The murals were executed on dry plaster and are remarkably intact and in stable condition. The plaster was applied to lath, which is attached to rough sawn native timbers. A large sampling of these murals were first exhibited at the First Annual New England Antiques Show in 1967 and at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1968. Additionally, they have been featured in a number of books by Jean Lipman including: Rufus Porter Yankee Pioneer, American Folk Painters of Three Centuries (Lipman and Armstrong) and The Flowering of American Folk Art (Lipman and Winchester).

ERWIN STOLZ (Austrian 1896-1987) "Lovers" watercolor and gouache on paper, initialed lower right “EST”. 15”x7”.

Estimate $1,000-$1,500

Erwin Stolz was a highly talented Viennese artist who worked in the time between two World Wars. He was among other young artists of the time who united into a group under the name "Hagenbund". Hagenbund members, like the Secessionists, showcased modernist trends in Viennese art of the early 20th century. It seems that Stolz executed most of his works between the years 1920 and 1940, as he practically terminated his activity as an artist after WWII. More than likely, Stolz would have had contact with fellow Viennese artist Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt whose works most certainly influenced his own.
