ALFRED VON WIERUSZ-KOWALSKI
Est: CHF20,000 - CHF30,000
ALFRED VON WIERUSZ-KOWALSKI (Suwalki 1849–1915 Munich) Horse drawn sleigh in a winter landscape. Oil on canvas. Signed lower left: A. Wierusz–Kowalski. 29.3 × 46 cm. Provenance: - Collection of Carl-Theodor Kromer von Baerle (1901–1993). - Private collection, Switzerland, for several decades. ------------------------------------------------- ALFRED VON WIERUSZ-KOWALSKI (Suwalki 1849–1915 München) Pferdeschlitten in einer Winterlandschaft. Öl auf Leinwand. Unten links signiert: A. Wierusz–Kowalski. 29,3 × 46 cm. Provenienz: - Sammlung Carl-Theodor Kromer von Baerle (1901–1993). - Schweizer Privatbesitz, seit mehreren Jahrzehnten. Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski studierte Malerei an den Akademien in Warschau, Dresden, Prag und München. 1876 liess er sich in München nieder und etablierte sich rasch zu einem gefragten Maler. Zu seinen beliebtesten Motiven zählen Darstellungen von Schlittenfahrten und Pferdegespannen. Das hier angebotene Gemälde kann daher als typisches Werk im Oeuvre Wierusz-Kowalskis angesehen werden. Gezeigt werden gleich zwei Schlitten, die von mehreren Pferden durch eine verschneite Winterlandschaft gezogen werden. Besondes gut gelingt es Wierusz-Kowalski das nachmittägliche Licht des klaren und sonnigen Wintertages darzustellen, die hellen Rosa- und Blautöne im Himmel verleihen dem Bild eine stimmungsvolle Atmosphäre. Die durch den Schnee galoppierenden Pferde im Bildvordergrund erzeugen zusätzlich eine Dynamik und führen uns gleichzeitig die Meisterschaft von Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski bei der Darstellung von Tieren in Bewegung vor Augen.

Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski, Ride in the twilight
Est: €100,000 - €140,000
Signed lower right: A. Wierusz-Kowalski Among the international artists in the 19th century who made Munich the most important artistic centre in the world alongside Paris, there were a particularly large number of Poles, the majority of whom were painters. Many of them emigrated after repression intensified in their homeland, which had been divided among the larger neighboring states, especially after the uprisings of 1830 and 1863. Others were simply attracted by the pull of Munich as an artistic metropolis, as it offered one of the leading academies of the age, access to numerous public commissions and, last but not least, an interested and wealthy class of private collectors. They came together to form the so-called “Munich Polish Circle” or the “Munich Polish School”, which has sparked particular interest among art historians in recent years. Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski, who was later appointed professor in Munich, stands out among this circle. Following positions at the academies in Warsaw, Dresden and Prague, he continued his studies at the Munich Academy, joining the circle of Jozef Brand there. He worked alongside Brand and other Polish artists in the city in the studio and home of the late painter Albrecht Adam on Schillerstrasse in Munich, where his son Franz Adam now worked. The Polish artists found the best painting conditions here, especially for their horse motifs, as live horses could be brought directly into the studio as models. The almost tangible sense of presence that the horses make in Wierusz-Kowalski's paintings may be a result of this. While some of his less complex and accomplished paintings are sometimes signed “J. Konarski”, in this work “Ride into Twilight” he wrote out his full name “A. Wierusz-Kowalski”.

ALFRED VON WIERUSZ-KOWALSKI (1849-1915) A BEDOUIN CAMP BY MOONLIGHT signed A Wierusz-Kowalski oil on canvas35.5 x 56.0cm Provenance: Nadeau's Auction Gallery, Windsor, Connecticut, 1st January 2019, Lot 460 Estate of Stanislaw & Anita Milewski, of Manchester, Connecticut Lipert Gallery, Thence by Descent to current Owner New York Alfred Jan Maksymilian Kowalski was a Polish-born painter of the Munich School. He studied first in Warsaw and then at the Academy in Dresden before settling in Munich under the tutorship of Alexander Wagner. Here he developed his style, coming in to his own when he began to paint depictions of Caucasian warriors in the 1880's, using props borrowed from the workshop of Józef Brandt (a fellow student, a few years ahead of him). In the 1890's Wierusz-Kowalski began to paint the subjects for which he is best known: huntsmen with their hounds and sleighs, and wolves, either in packs or alone. The present work likely dates from his visit to North Africa in 1903

Alfred von Wierusz Kowalski (Polish, 1849-1915) Return from the Hunt, 1876
Est: $20,000 - $30,000
Alfred von Wierusz Kowalski (Polish, 1849-1915) Return from the Hunt, 1876 oil on panel signed Alfred Wierusz Kowalski (lower right) 12 x 14 inches Property from Palm Springs Art Museum Sold to Support the Care of Collections and the George Montgomery Fund for Acquisitions Provenance: Gift of the George Montgomery Trust to Palm Springs Art Museum Lot Note: This painting is inscribed on the verso, From my collection, George Montgomery, purchased for me by my wife "Dinah" on our 1st wedding anniversary, 1944. George Montgomery was married to Dinah Shore, the American singer, actress and television personality, from 1943 until 1963. Born Frances Rose Shore, she did embrace the stage name Dinah until 1940, accounting for the quotations on the inscription. Known for their realism, painterly brushwork and use of dramatic chiaroscuro, the Munich School was a highly regarded group of artists in late 19th century Europe. Associated with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Munich, the art that emerged from this association of painters depicted scenes of landscapes, history, battle and everyday life with drama and intricate detail.Alfred Wierusz Kowalski (Polish, 1849-1915) was perhaps the most popular Polish artist of this group. Born in Suwalki, Poland, the pastoral setting of much of Kowalski's oeuvre was inspired more by the scenery of his childhood than by his environs in Germany. However, his choice of subject matter "“ hunting, traveling, horse riding "“ along with his bold brushwork, emotional compositions and attentiveness to detail made him a success amongst collectors and critics alike. Kowalski's skill earned him exhibitions in Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Paris and Vienna, as well as an honorary position at the Royal Academy.At first glance, Return from the Hunt is a rather simple scene, with a hunter on horseback accompanied by his two loyal dogs. However, upon closer inspection, the scene becomes a bit more dramatic. Situated in a desolate landscape, the hunter stares ahead with a look of sheer defeat, as if he has been totally drained from his efforts. His face is deeply saddened, his eyes sunken, his expression dazed; even his horse appears exhausted. One small fox is his only bounty from a long, cold day on the hunt. In the background, his companion, or perhaps his competition, appears to have had even less luck. The composition "“ his choices in color palette, the arrangement and realism of the figures as well as detailed facial expression on the hunter "“ turns an everyday scene of pastoral life into a possibility of a more dismal scene.Return from the Hunt demonstrates the aesthetics of the Munich School through a scene that may have been pulled directly from Kowalski's childhood in Poland. As a viewer we can never know exactly what happened on that hunt. Kowalski's skillful artistry, however, gives us just enough information to understand that there is more to the scene than what meets the eye.

Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski Suwalkin/Polen 1849 – 1915 München Schlittenfahrt Öl auf Holz, 30,5 x 19,5 cm signiert u.r. Der Maler Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski wurde 1849 in Suwałki/Polen geboren. Er war ein bedeutender Künstler, der aus Polen kommenden Maler der Münchner Schule, im 19. Jahrhundert. Der Künstler besuchte in seinen Anfängen die Akademien in Warschau, Dresden und Prag. 1873 zog es ihn nach München, wo er unter seinem Landsmann dem Historienmaler Józef Brandt an der dortigen Akademie studierte. Von der Isarstadt angetan ließ er sich dauerhaft nieder. Durch den Einfluss Brandts näherte er sich dem Kreis der Münchner-Polen an und wurde in späterer Folge deren prominentester Protagonist. Im Jahr 1890 wurde er selbst als Professor an die Münchner Akademie berufen. Während seiner Zeit als Maler erhielt Alfred von Wierusz-Kowalski eine Vielzahl von Auszeichnungen und Preise für seine großartigen Gemälde mit Darstellungen aus dem russisch-polnischen Volksleben. In diesem charakteristischen Kleinod stellt Wierusz-Kowalski sein meisterhaftes Können in der Wiedergabe und Bewegung eindrucksvoll unter Beweis. Der Betrachter sieht die beiden Schlitten frontal vor sich, wobei der hintere schemenhafter dargestellt ist. Die Passagiere wirken fröhlich und ausgelassen. Ein eigentlich gewöhnliches Genremotiv wird hier von Wierusz-Kowalski fabelhaft interpretiert. Für diese temperamentvolle, virtuose Pinselführung und seine schnelle, im Kolorit des Winters interpretierte Malweise wurden Werke von Wierusz-Kowalski immer wieder als fabelhaft, ja sogar sensationell bewertet.

Jahrhunderts. Sein Kunststudium absolvierte er an den Akademien in Warschau, Dresden und Prag. Später lernte er unter Alexander von Wagner (1838–1919) an der Münchner Akademie und schloss sich anschliessend der in München tätigen polnischen Künstlergruppe rund um Józef Brandt (1841–1915) an, der Kowalskis sowohl motivisch als auch stilistisch stark beeinflusste. Die vorliegende Komposition weist gemäss Eliza Ptaszyńska, welche die Eigenhändigkeit anhand einer Fotografie bestätigt und wofür wir ihr danken, alle Qualitäten des reifen Stils des Künstlers auf. Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski wiederholte ausgewählte Kompositionen mehrmals, und so findet sich unsere Komposition ebenfalls in einer grösseren Version von 1907 (Heranziehendes Gewitter (Das Ende des Sturms), 1907, signiert P. d. A. Wierusz-Kowalski, Öl auf Leinwand, 85 × 165 cm).
