GREAT WWI OIL PAINTING BY NOTED FEMALE ARTIST
Est: $250 - $500
JEAN MCLANE (American 1878-1964) Portrait of a Lt. Colonel in the Medical Corps- circa 1918 Oil on canvas Signed lower right Jean McLane 40 inches x 30 inches (unframed) Jean McLane was born on September 14, 1878 in Chicago and died on January 23, 1964 in New Canaan, Connecticut. Her first studies were with John Vanderpoel at the Art Institute of Chicago. She later studied with Frank Duveneck in Cincinnati, Ohio. MacLane later moved to New York to study with William Merritt Chase. Chase was the first to purchase a painting of her early works. McLane and her husband, artist John C. Johansen (1876-1964) helped found the National Foundation of Portrait Painters in 1912. In that same year, she was invited by a group of philanthropists to depict the Allied Leaders from World War I. McLane provided the only female subject, Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. This painting now hangs in the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C. Also in 1912, she was elected associate member of the National Academy of Design and a full academician in 1926. McLane became noted for her portraits of women and children. In 1931, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her portrait of actor William Gillette hangs at the Academy.

Jean MacLane American, 1878-1964 Tea Time
Est: $18,000 - $22,000
Jean MacLane American, 1878-1964 Tea Time Signed Jean McLane Johansen (lr) Oil on canvas 28 1/8 x 36 inches The signature on this work is a form adopted by the artist for a time following her marriage in 1905 to the portraitist John C. Johansen. The identities of the enchanting children depicted in the present are not known. Her own children were frequent models for her paintings, though MacLane also painted many commissioned portraits of other children. Following his 1940 interview with the painter, Ernest W. Watson observed, "From the cradle up through the years her youngsters were constantly sketched and painted. Hundreds of drawings and scores of canvases record those joyous years of loving and painting, when, as she has said, she wished for three lives to devote to children: 'One in which to supply their every need, one in which to be entirely free to paint them, and one just to bask in the miracle of them!'"

Jean MacLane American, 1878-1964 Summer Night Concert: Intermission (Symphony Night: Intermission), 1934 Signed Jean MacLane and dated 1934 (lr); signed Jean Myrtle MacLane, N.A. and dated 1934 on the reverse Oil on board 22 5/8 x 23 inches Provenance: Plaza Art Galleries, Inc. John James Bowden, Bayside, New York, 1942 Thence by descent to the present owner Exhibited: Stockbridge, Massachusetts, Stockbridge Art Exhibition (as Symphony Night: Intermission) Philadelphia, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 130th Annual Exhibition, Jan. 27-Mar. 3, 1935, no. 206 Although in her lifetime Jean MacLane was most recognized for her commissioned portraits, her "decorative paintings," as they were termed when exhibited, are today considered most desirable. Born in Chicago, she first studied at the Art Institute, and then later with Frank Duveneck in Cincinnati and William Merritt Chase in New York. Married in 1905 to the Danish-born portraitist, John C. Johansen, she and her husband helped establish the National Foundation of Portrait Painters in 1912, a watershed year for MacLane. The same year she was commissioned to paint the likeness of Queen Elizabeth of Belgium as part of a series depicting the Allied Leaders of World War I, and was also elected an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design. She became a full Academician in 1926. She and her husband maintained adjoining studios in New York, along with studios in their summer home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where MacLane exhibited the present work in an exhibition of the Stockbridge Art Association. Devoted to her family, MacLane configured her professional commitments around the needs of her four children, who often posed for their mother's compositions. Nearly square in format like the present work, these works characteristically depict figural groups, viewed at close range, more often than not engaged in recreational activities. Whether sunbathing at the beach, playing tennis, or strolling out-of-doors, the groupings are typically bathed in bright sunlight that boldly defines forms and animates the compositions. In 1984, Frederick Platt wrote of the artist's love of decorative figural compositions, "By necessity her portraits could not wander too far afield, yet her passion to arrange figures into decorative compositions reached dizzying heights in her personal painting. Amid geometrical abstractions of rocks and hills, human forms ceased to strike purposeful poses. From her early genre work she had progressed to pure beauty." [Frederick Platt, Jean MacLane. Charlottesville, Virginia, Balogh Gallery, 1984, p. 5] Summer Night Concert: Intermission (Symphony Night: Intermission), a nocturne, appears to be unique in the artist's oeuvre. A group of concert-goers lounges beneath a night sky dappled with stars. An undefined light source boldly delineates figures that stand out dramatically against the dark hills in the distance. Broadly described by MacLane with bold strokes of paint in a manner more akin to the Ashcan school than to American Impressionism, the stylish crowd stands in casual groups, chatting and smoking, capturing the pleasures of a summer's night.
