About the Item

LUCIEN ROUDIER ELLER 1894-1940 “CHANTEUSE ESPAGNOLE” MIXED MEDIA, SIGNED FRENCH, C.1925 27.25 X 38.5 INCHES Lucien Roudier Eller 1894-1940 It is thought the name Eller was a combination of his first and last names. Lucien Roudier was born in Marseilles; he worked under the name Eller. He lived most of his life in Marseilles; his works depict the life of this large Mediterranean port city. Nightlife, street life, the elegant nightclubs, sailor bars, prostitutes, and Gypsy street musicians were among his favorite subjects. Eller was a laureate of l'École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. He was a member of Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. His style and technique was purely modern in the tradition of Von Dongen and Rouault. His imagery is powerful; his expressive style was intended to capture the romantic and the desperate. His first paintings appeared around 1914. When he came to Paris after World War One, he witnessed the Jazz bars with the Black musicians, circuses, and nightclubs, and these became the direction of his artistic adventure. Eller exhibited at Galerie Devambez in Paris, the Salons des Indépendants, and at the Salon Humoristes. Maybe because he died at such a young age, possibly in World War Two, his work fell into obscurity, but in 1956 a collection of more than seventy paintings, gouaches and watercolors were sold at auction in Nice. Paul Reboux wrote the preface of the sale.

EMIL GANSO "SEATED NUDE" CHARCOAL WITH COLOR WASH, SIGNED AMERICAN, C.1930 21.5 X 15.5 INCHES Biography from Butler Institute of American Art Emil Ganso 1885-1941 Ganso was born in Germany in 1895. At age 14, he apprenticed to a baker and then worked his way to America when he was 17. He worked in bakeries in Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Cincinnati and Akron, Ohio. By 1916, Ganso was out of a job, and living the life of a bohemian in New York City, sometimes on less than 30 cents a week. In 1921, Ganso painted on a realistic nude on a bedsheet and was forced by the police to remove it from an exhibition. The bedsheet with the painting was later stolen. He soon had a job baking again at $140 a month, and with time to spare for painting and study. Ganso quit baking in 1925 when a New York dealer game him financial backing of $50 a week. Ganso has prospered from his art ever since. His work is in over 15 American museums, and the Print Club of Cleveland awarded him a $500 purchase prize for a wood engraving. A versatile artist, he paints a variety of subjects. Source: from a profile written by Clyde Singer...

Ballet und Pantomime "Scherzo I", plate #4.

By Walter Schnackenberg

Located in Palm Beach, FL

Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art Nouveau outlines, with spiky Expressionist passages, and the postures and patterns of the mysterious East. In his later years, Schnackenberg explored the unconscious, using surreal subject matter and paler colors that plainly portrayed dreams and visions, some imbued with political connotations. His drawings, illustrations, folio prints, and posters are highly sought today for their exceedingly imaginative qualities, enchanting subject matter, and arresting use of color.
