Bio from 1st Dibs: This set is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It speaks to the horrors of slavery and the joys of freedom. it was created during the civil rights movement and while his personal history was of the horrors of World War II, I believe this might also reference the African American experience. Alfred Van Loen was a prolific artist whose career spanned a half century. He was born in 1924 in Oberhausen-Osterfeld, Germany and sent to Holland to be educated. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Amsterdam. He immigrated to the United States following World War II and taught art at Vassar, Hunter College and Columbia University. He taught at C.W. Post for over 20 years. His work is characterized by a spiritual connection to nature. Van Loen's reputation is built on his works as a direct carver a sculptor who carves into stone or marble without preliminary blueprints, models or drawings. Van Loen is a man in love with the materials. He is an artist who is part scientist, part architect, part explorer and part inventor. Van Loen further isolated himself from the cultural capital and "the sickness of the art world in New York City." Since then, Van Loen has become a bigger star in a smaller galaxy, with a devoted following of patrons and students. Whether casting medals, drawing in unbroken lines (similar to those of Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder), painting in watercolors or carving stones and wood, Van Loen is the quintessential craftsman. The real Van Loen is in all of his work. He finds endless lines of continuity and form in the trees and birds and plants that surround him. His two lives. One begins in Germany, where he was born in 1924. The other picks up in 1947 when he arrived in New York. At age six, he says, his wealthy, Jewish parents Karl and Hedwig Lowenthal, owners of a sporting good store sent him to school at a Dominican cloister in Venlo, Holland. In 1938, forced to flee Nazi persecution in Germany, the family moved to Amsterdam, where Alfred joined them. A small carved crucifix which he produced caught the eye of a sponsor who enrolled him in the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam in 1941. Surrounded by the cruelty and destruction of war, the young artist became involved in the underground, spying and distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets. Betrayed by his best friend, he was arrested by the Nazi Gestapo and spent 16 months in Auschwitz. When he got out, he says, he had only 72 pounds distributed on his 6-foot, 2-inch frame. He did not expect to live after his recovery, he changed his family name, Lowenthal, to Van Loen and returned to the Royal Academy to finish the formal and classical training in anatomy, architectural drawing, pottery, carpentry and casting. By the time he graduated, the war was over, and he decided to come to the United States. When Van Loen talks about this part of his background, the details are sketchy, sometimes contradictory. He does not dwell on that period of his life, and he will not be pressed for specifics. "People should never forget the atrocities of that war," he says. "But they should not continue, living with the memories of it." There are happier memories of his life in the United States, which began April 4, 1947, when a rebuilt troop transport brought 800 emigrants, including the 22-year-old Van Loen, to New York. If there are any gaps in Van Loen's life as a U.S. citizen, they come in the early-1950s when he abandoned the Bohemian life of a young, promising New York artist and traveled to Mexico and briefly to Europe. In 1958, he married Helen Roberts (his second marriage ended in divorce and his first marriage, in pre-war Europe, is shrouded in mystery).

IMPORTANT LOT OF CUSTER PHOTOGRAPHS. This lot consists of fifteen original early photographs of or related to George Armstrong Custer. A photocopy of a letter from Larry Wilson accompanies this lot, and it traces the provenance of the photos directly back to the Custer family, from which it was acquired in the 1960s. It was originally sold out of the family with Custer’s fabulous cased pair of Tiffany-decorated S&W pistols, which now reside in the Autrey Museum of Western Heritage. Accompanying this lot is a two-page letter from Larry Wilson dated July 11, 2004 wherein he states that this collection of photographs and the above mentioned Smith & Wesson revolvers were purchased by the late John Solley and stored the entire lot in Mr. Wilson’s vault until the revolvers were sold to King Hussein of Jordan’s trust. At that time, the photographs and other items from the Solley collection, were sold elsewhere. The photos are: 1) CDV of Custer in classic pose in uniform of a Major General. The back has a pencil notation "Custer" and also an Internal Revenue 2¢ stamp dated Goldin & Co, June 27, 1865, Washington, D.C. - Fine. 2) CDV of Custer in uniform wearing a cape with fur collar with six other general officers including Sheridan. - Fine. 3) A stereoptic viewer card of Custer in buckskins holding a rifle posed with a huge grizzly bear, two Caucasian hunters and an Indian holding a Sharps carbine. Card is marked "Lovejoy and Foster, Chicago, Ill." - Yellowed but fine. 4) A 8" x 10" print with oval image of young Custer in the West Point uniform. - Yellowed with water stain in the upper left corner, not on Custer's image. Gelatin silver print photograph - copy of daguerreotype taken circa 1858. 5) Fine cabinet card of Custer in buckskins and mid-calf boots wearing a foraging cap holding a Springfield pre-Officer's Model Trapdoor rifle in a studio posed picture. It is an oval image 6-1/2" x 4-1/2", stamped on the picture and the cardboard frame "BARRY" and signed "Barry / Phila" in white ink just behind Custer's image. - Very fine, slightly yellowed. 6) An 8-3/8" x 6-1/8" vertical image of Custer in buckskins wearing a Hardee-type hat seated on the ground with a Remington Rolling Block Sporting rifle that has a short heavy barrel. His right hand is holding the antler of a large bull elk. There appear to be tent guide ropes in the background. - Extremely fine, sepia toned, sharp image wet-plate albumin photograph. 7) Matching photographs of Libby and George Custer that have 6-3/8" x 4-3/8" images mounted in original Barry cardboard frames. Both photographs and frames are stamped Barry. The backs of the frames have Barry's paper stamp in the upper left corner and have pencil notations "Gen Custer" and "Mrs. Custer". - Both photographs are glossy, slightly toned with sharp images. 8) A hand tinted cabinet card of a young Libby Custer with 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" oval image of Mrs. Custer with elaborate hairdo, a scarf around her shoulder, and a mantilla on her hair with a heavy chain and cross around her neck. The bottom of the card is marked "Cabinet Portrait W.W. Washburn, New Orleans, LA". It has the printed signature and 113 Canal Street of Washburn. - Slightly toned but fine. 9) A 8-13/16" x 5-3/4" horizontal image of an Army camp scene with several rows of tents, wagons, horses and an ambulance. Apparently camped near a waterhole somewhere on the prairie. - Yellowed but with clear image. Wet plate albumen photgraph in oval mat. 10) Two 8" x 10" card weight photos, one with 7-1/8" x 5-1/8" vertical image of a bay window with numerous house plants, a Victorian chair, a birdcage, and a guitar with heavy drapes surrounding. Marked on the back "Bay window in quarters of General Custer at Fort A. Lincoln D.T." The other has a 7-3/4" x 6" horizontal image of the same room with numerous items of furniture including a parlor grand piano, fireplace with statuary, a harp, a table and sideboard, a large antelope head, and a three lamp chandelier. Marked on the back "Mrs. Custer's house, Fort Lincoln D.T." - Both photos slightly yellow but good images. Wet plate albumen photographs, probably from photographer O.S. Goff. 11) A cabinet card by D.F. Barry of a chubby Indian man with breechcloth, long braids, and an eagle feather in his hair with a large cross and abalone shell decoration around his neck. He is studio posed with a sea shore backdrop. The bottom edge of the image is stamped "Chief Gall" copyrighted by D.F. Berry, West Superior, Wisconsin. - Slightly yellowed but fine. 12) Cabinet card of Custer’s father Emmanuel in a 3-pc suit with white shirt wearing a long white beard. It bears the company name of C.W. Hills, Monroe, Michigan. - Slightly yellowed but fine, image a little faint. 13) Large photograph, 8" x 10" with 8-3/4" x 6-1/2" horizontal image of Emmanuel Custer in his suit wearing a top hat, gauntlets and spurs sitting in the saddle of Custer's famous battle horse Dandy. Dandy had been injured in a previous cavalry charge and was unable to serve at the Little Big Horn so he survived his Indian Wars service. He was returned to the Custer family home, where he lived the rest of his life. The saddle blanket is definitely a 7th Cavalry item with light color border and a darker interior with a metal "7" in the rear corner. Emmanuel and Dandy are posed in front of a clapboard house with covered porch, shaded by ivy and a pine tree, presumably the Custer family home. - Fine, slightly yellowed with chipped corners and small water stain not effecting the image. This is a fabulous lot of photos Custer traceable directly back to the Custer family. 4-53319 (50,000-65,000)

? § ANNE REDPATH O.B.E., A.R.A., R.S.A., L.L.D., A.R.W.S., R.O.I., R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1895-1965) STILL LIFE OF FLOWERS IN A BLUE AND WHITE JUG Signed, inscribed on a label verso, oil on canvas 61cm x 46cm (24in x 18in) Estimate £ 40,000-60,000 Provenance: The Wood Collection Note: Both paintings offered here clearly reveal Redpath's love of all types of colour, from bright and lush, to quiet and soft. In Still-Life of Flowers in a Blue and White Jug, her use of white throughout the composition gives a feeling of freshness to the whole work. Here, as often in her paintings, she builds a textured background in soft colours, often in grey tones, against which the warm pink and orange flowers, strong dark blue of the vase's decoration and splash of yellow pop. She likened this ability to create vivid yet harmonious palettes to her father's profession as a textile designer, 'I do with a spot of red or yellow in a harmony of grey what my father did in his tweed.' The composition of Still-Life of Flowers in a Blue and White Jug is beautifully balanced, and this careful arrangement of objects fit into Redpath's wider view of life, in which beauty and art could find its expression in the most personal and straightforward of settings; a meal amongst friends, a pretty setting for tea, or our everyday objects. Redpath was endlessly fascinated with the pursuit of beauty in art and life, and the eternal decorative possibilities of composition and colour. . Sold for £47,500 (buyer's premium included)

A finely painted oil on canvas depicting the theme of San Martin de Tours (Saint Martin and the Beggar), presenting the Christian Saint Martin of Tours as a young caballero on his white horse, cutting off half of his cloak with a sword to give to the beggar below. The saint wears luxurious red, white, and blue vestments with gold embroidered and white lace trims, along with red, white, and blue feathers in his wide-brimmed hat. In contrast, the beggar is scantily clad and has a hole in his shoe. The hallowed event is taking place in a verdant setting with colorful birds perched in the leafy boughs of trees to either side of the pair, flowers growing amidst the grasses below, and holy light streaming down upon Saint Martin's fair-skinned, bearded face with heavenly blue skies beyond.

El paisaje no tipico del Peru, pese a la adiao (?) de aves y flores locales de no la de parte del artista, sentido de adaptacion. " This generally translates, "Saint Martin - Private Collection - Lima - by anonymous painter. Ca. 17th to 18th century. The landscape not typical of Peru … not usual local birds and flowers - as the artist took artistic license with this adaptation. ". . The story of Saint Martin of Tours: When stationed in Amiens one harsh winter day, a poor man, trembling from the cold, was begging at the gates to the city. Martin took notice, and recognized that nobody was paying attention to him. So, he cut his cloak in two and covered the beggar with half of it. That night when Martin was asleep he had a vision of Jesus wearing the half-cloak saying, "Martin yet a catechumen has covered me with the garment, " and Martin was baptized. Today, Saint Martin of Tours is invoked when someone is cold or lacking in clothing. He also the patron saint of beggars, tailors, shirt-makers, and soldiers. . .
