Montmartre - China Ink Drawing by A. Hallman - 1940s

1940s

About the Item

Montmartre is a beautiful black China ink drawing on ivory-colored paper, made by the Swedish illustrator and reporter Adolf Reinhold Hallman around the 40s. The state of preservation is excellent, except for a usual yellowing of the paper at the edge of the sheet, a light fold, some dust, and a little yellow stain on the lower right corner. These defects do not affect the image. On the back, the blueink stamp "Made in Italy by Adolf Hallman, 54 Via Margutta Roma" on the lower right corner of the sheet. Including a white cardboard passepartout, cm 34 x 49. On the back and on the higher margin, an autograph note in blue ink: "La grande cancan danseuse Jane Avril - Jules Pascin - Chas Laborde - Francis Casco" and below this inscription, the title and "N. 6", a pen ink erasure, and a piece of light blue paper glued on the lower left corner. The autograph note illustrates and describes the characthers of this modern original drawing: a big profile portrait of the most famous cancan dancer of the Moulin Rouge "Jane la Folle" o "La Mélinite", Jane Avril followed by a group portraits of some protagonists of the world of the "bohème artistique" in Paris, the Bulgarian painter Jules Pascin, the French writer and journalist with the glasses Chas Laborde, and the French writer of the "école fantaisiste" Francis Carco. Everybody wears elegant clothes and has a sophisticated air. Adolf Hallman (1893 – 1968) was a Swedish illustrator who sensibly contributed to Swedish, Danish and Norwegian newspapers and magazines, including Tidens Tegn, Dagbladet, Exlex and Politiken. Among his books is På Boulevard Europa. He illustrated editions of Charles Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal and Guy de Maupassant's Boule de Suif.

  • Study for a Frontispiece, a baroque drawing by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini
    By Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini
    Located in PARIS, FR
    This masterly frontispiece study, executed with a very sure hand, testifies to the survival of the great Baroque taste in 18th century Venice. It could be one of the very last works by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini: the few lines that cross the papal arms evoke those of Benedict XIV, who became pope in 1740, one year before the artist's death. 1. Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini and the European influence of Venetian history painting in the 18th century Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini was born in Venice in 1675 and trained in the studio of the Milanese painter Paolo Pagani (1655 - 1716). Pagani, who had been living in Venice since 1667, took him to Moravia and Vienna from 1690 to 1696. After a stay in Rome from 1699 to 1701, Pellegrini married Angiola Carriera in 1704, the sister of the great pastelist Rosalba Carriera. From 1708 onwards, Pellegrini left Venice and began an extensive tour of Europe: he worked in England between 1708 and 1713, where he met great success, particularly at Kimbolton Castle and Castle Howard. He then worked in Germany and the Netherlands, then in Bohemia and Austria, before returning briefly to England in 1719. In 1720 he was in Paris where he decorated the ceilings of the Royal Bank for John Law...
