      Knute Heldner (Swedish/Louisiana, 1877-1952)

      Est: $6,000 - $8,000

      Knute Heldner (Swedish/Louisiana, 1877-1952), "Sunday Morning in the Teche", c. 1936, oil on canvas, signed lower left, partial painting en verso, remnant labels on stretcher, 22 in. x 24 in., framed, overall 25 1/2 in. x 27 5/8 in. x 1 in. Note: Knute Heldner had many stops on the journey from his native Verderslöv, Sweden to New Orleans, including Boston, Duluth, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C. He studied art at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts (now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design), the Art Institute of Chicago, and ultimately at the Art Students League of New York. Heldner arrived in New Orleans for the first time in the winter of 1923, and captivated by the city’s charm, he and his wife, Colette, determined to make it their winter home, spending summers in Duluth. Throughout his early travels, Heldner held a variety of jobs including cabin boy, shepherd, woodland guide, dishwasher, and cook in a lumber camp. This array of employment allowed Heldner to interact with diverse groups of people and experience first-hand the hardships of the Great Depression era. Heldner later stated that “as a general rule, all artists are poor sometime in their career, but I can safely say that I was poorer than most of them when I first reached the States.” A deeply religious person, Heldner became known for his atmospheric Louisiana landscapes as well as striking genre and spiritual scenes. One of his main goals in painting was to attempt to reach people through his art and connect adversity in everyday life with a sense of divine purpose. The important work on offer here captures the sense of community and devotion of a Sunday morning churchyard within the romantic and lush Louisiana bayous.

      Est: $3,000 - $5,000

      Knute Heldner (Swedish/Louisiana, 1877-1952) "Napoleon House, French Quarter" oil on canvas signed lower right, and Sotheby's New York label en verso. Framed with artist and title plaque. 22-1/4" x 24-1/4", framed 27-1/2" x 29-1/4" Provenance: Sotheby's, New York, December 17, 1990, lot 286; Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. Notes: Since their initial visit in 1923, Knute Heldner and his wife Colette spent winter months in New Orleans and immersed themselves in the bohemian group of artists, writers and photographers who populated the French Quarter. The creative community was attracted to the French Quarter by the faded charm, historic architecture, cheap rent, and lively street life. By living and working in the French Quarter, Heldner was personally familiar with the history and daily activities of the residential neighborhood. The Napoleon House was built for New Orleans Mayor Nicholas Girod, who offered his home to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1821 as a place of refuge during his forced exile. In the painting "Napoleon House, New Orleans", Heldner focused on both the historic building and animated street corner filled with residents and a mule-drawn wagon.
