Morton Livingston Schamberg (1881-1918) Untitled, from
Est: $40,000 - $60,000
Morton Livingston Schamberg (1881-1918) Untitled, from the Machine series, 1916 Oil on board 16 x 12 inches (40.6 x 30.5 cm) Signed upper right: Schamberg PROVENANCE: Barbara Mathes Gallery, Inc., New York; William Pall, New York; Barbara Mathes Gallery, New York; Private collection, Texas. Morton Livingston Schamberg's Untitled embodies the bold direction the artist took in the first decades of the 20th century. Painted in 1916, the work belongs to the last and most important period in the artist's brief career, during which he began to engage with mechanical themes. Today these works are recognized for their innovative style and sophisticated intent, establishing Schamberg as an important precursor to Precisionists such as Charles Sheeler and Charles Demuth, who would continue to explore the imagery of the machine after Schamberg's premature death in 1918. In the present work, the artist depicts a piece of textile machinery, a subject likely inspired by the equipment he saw illustrated in machinery catalogues that he borrowed from his brother-in-law, who was then employed in the stocking and hosiery industry. Schamberg may have derived the imagery for several of the machine paintings from this source. Although the object is undoubtedly industrial in nature, Schamberg's reductive treatment makes it difficult to immediately identify, and for many years it was incorrectly identified as a "camera flashlight." Indeed, the artist simplifies the components of the object to their most basic, geometric forms and places the machine in an amorphous setting, dissociating it from the larger context of the factory. As Schamberg's subject approaches abstraction, he invites the viewer to consider it not for its function, but rather for its distinctive shape, color and form.

Est: $20,000 - $30,000
MORTON LIVINGSTON SCHAMBERG (American 1881 - 1918) Landscape, circa 1910 Oil on board 10 x 14in. PROVENANCE: Property of a Gentleman Morton Schamberg exerted an important influence on the early history of abstract art in the United States, both as a painter and photographer. Despite his untimely death at the age of 37 in 1918, he was a proponent of avant-garde aesthetics pioneering DADA constructions, Cubist form, and mechanical subject-matter. The latter anticipated Precisionism. The present work seems to have taken its inspiration from the art that he saw in Paris 1907 to 1909 by Cézanne, Picasso, and Matisse. The intense palette and expressive brushstrokes owe a particular debt to Fauvism. The work would seem to have been done either in France or shortly after his return to New York in 1909. Following the Armory Show in 1913, Cubism became his primary interest.
