Henri LE SIDANER
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Henri LE SIDANER (Port-Louis, 1862 – Versailles, 1939 ) Voilier par mer calme Huile sur toile Signée et datée 'Henri Le Sidaner. 85' en bas à gauche 97.0 x 40.0 cm Provenance : Anciennement La Galerie d'Art, Mulhouse et Strasbourg, selon une étiquette au verso Fils d’un capitaine au Long Cours breton, Henri Le Sidaner nait à l’Ile Maurice et finit de grandir à Dunkerque où son père est devenu courtier maritime. L’enfant est alors le spectateur attendri des goélettes se préparant pour la Grande Pêche à la morue et sans doute l’intime des matelots qui fréquentent la cuisine de ses parents. Son incurable mal de mer l’empêche de suivre le chemin de ses aïeux, mais dès ses premiers essais conservés, il reproduit les voiliers dont il restera le spectateur attendri. A l’automne 1880, quelques jours après son arrivée à Paris pour essayer d’intégrer l’École des Beaux-Arts, il apprend la mort de son père, perdu en mer. Une fois, lisant que le cadavre d’un officier de marine avait été, conformément aux usages, jeté en mer, il déclarera à ses enfants que c’était probablement là la plus belle de toutes les sépultures. Voilier par mer calme est peint en 1885 en mer du Nord, ou bien à Dunkerque, où résidait sa famille, ou peut-être à Etaples où l’artiste vient de s’installer, quittant l’atelier de Cabanel pour travailler sur nature avec le soutien de son maître. La toile, peinte avant sa connaissance de l’impressionnisme, reste une des très rares œuvres conservées cette année-là, avec Voilier sur la lagune dans un format marine horizontal, et L’Église d’Etaples donnée à la ville de Dunkerque dont sa bourse dépend. Les autres ont été détruites par son créateur. Depuis ses débuts, pour épouser la voile d’un bateau ou peindre un portrait en pied, le peintre se sera laissé tenter par le format vertical, ainsi Marine, temps gris, 1884, conservée au musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais. Son chemin trouvé, devenant le contemplateur des citées endormies, il y renoncera. Nous remercions Monsieur Yann Farinaux de nous avoir confirmé l’authenticité de ce tableau par un examen de visu, ainsi que pour la rédaction de cette notice, en date du 15 janvier 2025. Un certificat sera délivré à l’acquéreur.

Henri Le Sidaner (French, 1862-1939) Flamande, c. 1899 graphite on paper signed Le Sidaner (lower right) 7 ¼ x 3 ½ inches. Provenance: Galleries Maurice Sternberg, Chicago Acquired directly from the above, December 1973 Literature: Yann Farinaux-Le Sidaner, Le Sidaner: L'Oeuvre Peint et Grave, Paris, 1989, no. 846, p. 301, illus. Property from the Miriam B. Swanson Trust, Chicago, Illinois Lot essay: The twilit gardens and hushed city scenes of Henri Le Sidaner’s artworks conjure a seductive, mysterious world. Throughout his career, Le Sidaner remained chiefly concerned with capturing atmospheric light and favored a subdued use of color, preferring nuanced greys and opals applied with uneven, dappled brushstrokes. Le Sidaner developed his distinctive lexicon during the 1890s, under the influence of Symbolism. On a formal level, he found a suitably harmonious, all-over treatment for his compositions in Impressionism. This dual aspect of his art was touched on by the critic, and his supporter, Camille Mauclair who wrote: "born out of Impressionism, [Le Sidaner] is as much the son of Verlaine than of the snowscenes of Monet" (C. Mauclair, Henri Le Sidaner, Paris, 1928, p. 12). Born in 1862 in Mauritius, to Breton parents, in 1872 Le Sidaner’s family settled in Dunkirk, France. In 1882 he left for Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. However, Le Sidaner shortly after left because of artistic differences. He relocated to the Ètaples artist colony, which had a tradition of en plain air painting established by Charles-François Daubigny and of the local Deauville painter Eugène Boudin, a leading Post-Impressionist. In the late nineteenth-century numerous artists were drawn by the sand dunes, the atmospheric light and the remnants of an older France. In 1895 Le Sidaner left Étaples and moved again to Paris, likely for career reasons. The Paris stay was short but significant, as in 1898 he eloped to Bruges with Camille Navarre, to whom he was subsequently married. For Le Sidaner the years in Bruges were pivotal to his subsequent artistic career. It was here that he painted a series of nocturnes exploring the gloaming light around dusk. Although many of these artworks omit figures, around 1899, the artist executed a series of drawings that depict a standing woman and child, of which Flamande is included. The finished figure of the woman in this drawing is seen in profile and dressed in traditional Flemish costume. A simple line sketch of a small child can be seen standing within her embrace.

In the late nineteenth-century numerous artists were drawn by the sand dunes, the atmospheric light and the remnants of an older France. Keen to buy a rural home where he could create a garden and work in reflective solitude, Le Sidaner purchased a property in 1904 at Gerberoy in the Picardy countryside. Once at Gerberoy, the artist rarely depicted figures again, preferring to create enigmatic moods through clues that imply human presence. He also continued to try to capture the luminosity of dusk and evening, as seen in Maison au clair de lune, Gerberoy, c. 1902. The hushed quietude of this painting is created by the subtle interplay of the warm moonlight glow against the cottage’s façade with the dark night beyond. A light from a single window is seen, the only indication of the home’s occupation.

Henri Le Sidaner (French, 1862-1939) Les Cygnes, Annecy, 1936 oil on panel signed Le Sidaner (lower right) 5 ¾ x 7 ¼ inches. Provenance: Galleries Maurice Sternberg, Chicago Acquired directly from the above, December 1971 Literature: Yann Farinaux-Le Sidaner, Le Sidaner: L'Oeuvre Peint et Grave, Paris, 1989, no. 1266, p. 388, illus. Property from the Miriam B. Swanson Trust, Chicago, Illinois Lot essay: The twilit gardens and hushed city scenes of Henri Le Sidaner’s artworks conjure a seductive, mysterious world. Throughout his career, Le Sidaner remained chiefly concerned with capturing atmospheric light and favored a subdued use of color, preferring nuanced greys and opals applied with uneven, dappled brushstrokes. Le Sidaner developed his distinctive lexicon during the 1890s, under the influence of Symbolism. On a formal level, he found a suitably harmonious, all-over treatment for his compositions in Impressionism. This dual aspect of his art was touched on by the critic, and his supporter, Camille Mauclair who wrote: "born out of Impressionism, [Le Sidaner] is as much the son of Verlaine than of the snowscenes of Monet" (C. Mauclair, Henri Le Sidaner, Paris, 1928, p. 12). Born in 1862 in Mauritius, to Breton parents, in 1872 Le Sidaner’s family settled in Dunkirk, France. In 1882 he left for Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. However, Le Sidaner shortly after left because of artistic differences. He relocated to the Ètaples artist colony, which had a tradition of en plain air painting established by Charles-François Daubigny and of the local Deauville painter Eugène Boudin, a leading Post-Impressionist. In the late nineteenth-century numerous artists were drawn by the sand dunes, the atmospheric light and the remnants of an older France. An inveterate traveler, Les Cygnes, Annecy, 1936, was created during one of Le Sidaner’s French sojourns. A picturesque town in Haute-Savoie, France, Annecy is about 22 miles south of Geneva, nestled between a range of mountains. The town is sometimes called the "Venice of the Alps,” due to the three canals and the Thiou river that run through the old city and into the northern end of Lac d’Annecy. The artist conveys the scintillating light as it bounces off the canal water utilizing short, broad brushstrokes of jewel-like green-blue hues. The floating white swans in the foreground and glowing lights beyond the trees that line the canal contribute to the romantic atmosphere.
