EMIL FILLA 1882 - 1953 - STILL LIFE WITH A BLACK GUITAR AND FRUIT
Est: -
From the expert opinion of PhDr. Rea Michalová Ph.D.: "The presented painting "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit" is an original, gallery quality, exquisitely cubist work of Emil Filla, whose artistic talent, strong intellectual foundation and respectable literacy have made him a truly unique cultural a personality of his time, endowed with a special fluid of seriousness and prominence. In his paintings, drawings, graphics and sculptures, he valued the discoveries of Cubism, which he updated with new theoretical studies and developed in many distinctive modifications, releasing the synthetic Cubist vocabulary into more organic, often libidinous forms. The time, when the assessed painting was created, it belonged to an extremely happy period, which can be described as one of the peaks of Filla's creative and life forces. In 1932, the painter turned fifty years old, and he addressed his round jubilee with a generously conceived collective exhibition in Prague's Mánes, which included approx. 360 works from the years 1902-1932, although the catalog only lists works up to 1931. Among the paintings that presented the author's creative direction up to the latest date and were added to the exhibition was the presented, artistically extremely strong and for the painter the most representative "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit". "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit" stylistically falls into the period of late organic cubism, when, in Filla's view, the painting becomes a "lush riot" of colors and forms that wedge into each other and complement each other harmoniously. The presented work is a wonderful proof of exactly that. In a visually very pleasant and representative format, there is an ingenious balancing of tendencies towards sensual hedonism and a well-thought-out construction of the image field."

EMIL FILLA 1882 - 1953 - STILL LIFE WITH SAMOVAR
Est: -
From the opinion of PhDr. Anna Janištinova: "The rediscovered painting by Emil Filla was for a long time in a private collection in Italy, where it was last exhibited in 1979. It was painted in Paris in 1914, before the painter's departure to Holland. The date on the back of the painting, probably made later, is erroneous. The work is thematically related to Malevich's Still Life with Samovar (1913, now in the collection of MoMA, New York), which was exhibited in Paris at the time. In the same year, Filla met Braque and further explored Picasso's Cubist work. Tomas Berger's restoration survey of 2021 revealed the layering of the painting, recording the stages of the creative process in changes of composition, coloration, and pentimenti. The result is a thoughtful organization of the pictorial surface, balancing painting and drawing elements as well as the juxtaposition of smooth and rough surfaces. The reserved colouring is dominated by blue in the central part. The prevailing geometric stylisation is punctuated by the almost naturalistic detail of the volutes of the samovar handles. The painting demonstrates the artist's deeply intellectual approach to painting, based on a careful and responsible study of the work of the protagonists of Cubism." Dr. Vincenc Kramář eloquently writes about this position of Filla: In the immediate future, however, Filla is primarily concerned with simplification and the crystalline beauty of shapes. Then, at the end of 1913 and in the first months of the following year, several still lifes were created that are almost entirely due to the unusually clear construction of sculpture and space. Everything in them is subordinated to this intention, and the colour, very discreet, often fills only a few areas, combining into a refined whole with a sensitive, possibly angularly drawn line (Emil Filla, edited by Václav Jelínek and František Venera and published in Brno in 1936, p. 77). The offered painting is a great contribution to the completeness of Emil Filla's work. The painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné. The restoration report was prepared by Akad. mal. restr. Tomáš Berger and the same conclusion of the restoration report was agreed with by Akad. mal. rest. David Frank.

EMIL FILLA Composition Cubiste. Watercolor on cream wove paper. 413x295 mm; 16 1/4x11 1/2 inches. Signed in watercolor, lower left recto. Provenance: Sold Swann Auction Galleries, New York, March 6, 2007, sale 2106, lot 79; private collection, New York. With an authentication by Dr. A.B. Kräl, dated October 8th 2001. Filla (1882-1953) was a central figure of the Czech avant-garde. His early work reflects his studies of Fauvism and German Expressionism, and he later became deeply influenced by Cubism during his time in Paris in the 1910s. He was close friends with Picasso during this time and drew on his groundbreaking work. Filla later returned to Prague to teach at the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design and owing to his influence, Prague became known as the second most important center for Cubism after Paris.

Emil Filla Czechoslovakian Cubistic Sculpture ''The Head'' w/ Expert Evaluation and Authentication
Est: $79,500 - $115,000
EMIL FILLA - THE HEAD w/ Expert Evaluation and Authentication by PhDr. Jan Stibr - A Plaster sculpture (dimensions: Height 53 cm / or 20.86'' ), deeply hand-engraved signature in the lower part of the sculpture: “E. Filla” see photo #6, resting upon a square brown-stained wooden base (dimensions of the base: H 4,5 cm x Length 36 cm or 14.17'' )... This sculptural work of Emil Filla falls into his most productive period of his life, during which he created larger amounts sculptures and reliefs, as stated by a fellow artist Vojtěch Lahoda in a monograph Emil Filla, Praha 2007 page 439 ad. A reproduction of this sculpture “The Head” made of a clayey siltstone (from the National Gallery Prague) is mentioned in the Emil Filla book, page 443. The same head is found in an Emil Filla Sochař exhibition catalogue; opening text by Jaromír Zemina. This exhibition that took place in the North Bohemian Gallery of Fine Arts in Litoměřice in 2002. Jaromír Zemina states in this catalogue: “The origin of these impressive heavy-weight sculptures (Henry Moore is also known to be able to capture the weight of material in such a suggestive mean of expression) influenced E. Filla, and that is why he decided to stone-carve some of his Head sculptures. (Instead of using other type of material). This is clearly our case here - it is an original sculpture by Emil Filla which he, later on, created in stone. Looking at the details of the execution, we can say that Emil Filla rather appreciated this sculpture, which is shown by the artist’s FULL signature, in contrast with his other artworks in stone. In this particular case we are looking at a more dramatically expressed concept of the lower part of the sculpture, see photo #5, with more pronounced spatula-work or even hand-work. This dramatic expression of the artist is not so much visible in his later works where he used stone as a sculpting material. The sculpture (“The Head” - in stone) was auctioned at the Adolf Loos Apartment and Gallery in May 2017, see photo #7-8. One can assume that our original plaster sculpture served as a base model for his stone-carved sculpture that he made later on, that is after the plaster sculpture was created. Emil Filla - Biography EMIL FILLA *born 4th April 1882 in Chropyně *died 7th October 1953 in Prague Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (prof. F. Thiele and V. Bukovac). He was a member of the following organisations of artists: Osma, S.U.V. Mánes Edvard Munch Exhibition in Prague in 1905 has stirred up the fading Art Nouveau period and showed a new direction to the local artists, including Emil Filla. He was a leading figure of the legendary art organisation Osma, which was the first one of its kind to proclaim its openness to the new styles in the world of art. Osma’s first art exhibition took place in Prague already in 1907. Filla's early creation combined A. Mucha’s symbolism and van Gogh’s expressiveness. An important part of Filla’s inspiration and work were his travels to Germany, Netherlands, France and Italy. During these travel he came across Cubism which irrevocably changed his principles in his homeland. Filla quits the Manes organization and establishes his own Group of Fine Artists in 1911, enforcing Cubism. Picasso's and Gerge Braque’s artworks happened to be a major turnaround for Filla, and so he closely followed their artworks. As a follower of Cubism he went through a rather interesting evolution - from synthetic and analytic cubism, to lyric cubism - Filla’s work is broad and includes figural and still-life painting, drawings, graphic work and last but not least, sculptures. Nude female figures from 1932-1936 are characteristic for their organic shapes, round shapes together with strong coloration and plastic-linear rhythm of his paintings. In the second half of the 30’s and 40’s he drew inspiration from the age-old quarrel of good and evil in classical Greek mythology. He tried to capture a female silhouette also in his sculptural works. Filla paints cycles of national songs, ballads and rhymes, following the Alšov tradition. Due to his anti-fascist attitude and home-land protection Filla was imprisoned until the end of the WWII. It took him almost a year before he could return to his artworks, after being held in a concentration camp in Buchenwald. Towards the end of his life, Filla spent most of the time in a castle in Peruci, where he created a group of paintings capturing the panoramic view of the Czech Central Highlands.

This sculptural work of Emil Filla falls into his most productive period of his life, during which he created larger amounts sculptures and reliefs, as stated by a fellow artist Vojtěch Lahoda in a monograph Emil Filla, Praha 2007 page 439 ad. A reproduction of this sculpture “The Head” made of a clayey siltstone (from the National Gallery Prague) is mentioned in the Emil Filla book, page 443. The same head is found in an Emil Filla Sochař exhibition catalogue; opening text by Jaromír Zemina. This exhibition that took place in the North Bohemian Gallery of Fine Arts in Litoměřice in 2002. Jaromír Zemina states in this catalogue: “The origin of these impressive heavy-weight sculptures (Henry Moore is also known to be able to capture the weight of material in such a suggestive mean of expression) influenced E. Filla, and that is why he decided to stone-carve some of his Head sculptures. (Instead of using other type of material). This is clearly our case here - it is an original sculpture by Emil Filla which he, later on, created in stone. Looking at the details of the execution, we can say that Emil Filla rather appreciated this sculpture, which is shown by the artist’s FULL signature, in contrast with his other artworks in stone. In this particular case we are looking at a more dramatically expressed concept of the lower part of the sculpture, see photo #5, with more pronounced spatula-work or even hand-work. This dramatic expression of the artist is not so much visible in his later works where he used stone as a sculpting material. The sculpture (“The Head” - in stone) was auctioned at the Adolf Loos Apartment and Gallery in May 2017, see photo #7-8. One can assume that our original plaster sculpture served as a base model for his stone-carved sculpture that he made later on, that is after the plaster sculpture was created. Emil Filla - Biography EMIL FILLA *born 4th April 1882 in Chropyně *died 7th October 1953 in Prague Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (prof. F. Thiele and V. Bukovac). He was a member of the following organisations of artists: Osma, S.U.V. Mánes Edvard Munch Exhibition in Prague in 1905 has stirred up the fading Art Nouveau period and showed a new direction to the local artists, including Emil Filla. He was a leading figure of the legendary art organisation Osma, which was the first one of its kind to proclaim its openness to the new styles in the world of art. Osma’s first art exhibition took place in Prague already in 1907. Filla's early creation combined A. Mucha’s symbolism and van Gogh’s expressiveness. An important part of Filla’s inspiration and work were his travels to Germany, Netherlands, France and Italy. During these travel he came across Cubism which irrevocably changed his principles in his homeland. Filla quits the Manes organization and establishes his own Group of Fine Artists in 1911, enforcing Cubism. Picasso's and Gerge Braque’s artworks happened to be a major turnaround for Filla, and so he closely followed their artworks. As a follower of Cubism he went through a rather interesting evolution - from synthetic and analytic cubism, to lyric cubism - Filla’s work is broad and includes figural and still-life painting, drawings, graphic work and last but not least, sculptures. Nude female figures from 1932-1936 are characteristic for their organic shapes, round shapes together with strong coloration and plastic-linear rhythm of his paintings. In the second half of the 30’s and 40’s he drew inspiration from the age-old quarrel of good and evil in classical Greek mythology. He tried to capture a female silhouette also in his sculptural works. Filla paints cycles of national songs, ballads and rhymes, following the Alšov tradition. Due to his anti-fascist attitude and home-land protection Filla was imprisoned until the end of the WWII. It took him almost a year before he could return to his artworks, after being held in a concentration camp in Buchenwald. Towards the end of his life, Filla spent most of the time in a castle in Peruci, where he created a group of paintings capturing the panoramic view of the Czech Central Highlands.

Est: -
Filla's overall interpretation of Cubism was primarily intimate and lyrical, as well as sensual. The reliefs under consideration can, in the best sense of the word, be called "etudes", in which the painter extraordinarily ingeniously plays out the expressive possibilities of lyrical cubism.

EMIL FILLA 1882 - 1953 - HORSE FIGHTING A LION
Est: -
This work is part of the "Fights and Battles" series that Filla worked on in 1936–39. The series follows two lines of meaning: it concerns antique mythology, and it looks at fights as a problem of good versus evil, the battle of the weak against the strong, the powerful and the powerless. Similar themes are addressed by Vincenc Kramař in his extensive unpublished text "Fillovy Boje a zápasy" from 1947, which is in the archives of the Czech Academy of Science's Institute of Art History. It places the theme into the context of political developments in neighboring Germany following the election of Hitler as Chancellor, and sees contexts with Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and the Spanish Civil War. From an artistic perspective, the work can be characterized as a study of the dynamic movement of mass. Technique: Modelling clay, plywood, Signed: Lower center "EF 38"
