- Lot Description
Carl von Hassler (German, 1887-1969), oil on canvas portrait of son of Taos Governor Mirabal, 1931. Signed and dated on lower left. Brass plaque engraved, "Son of Taos Governor Mirabal by Carl von Hassler." This realistic portrait demonstrates how von Hassler paid tribute to his Native American sitters, simultaneously reveling in the act of painting. At the age of 16, Carl von Hassler attended Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Bremen, Germany. The young von Hassler was so impressed, that he decided to move to America. This would happen in 1912 following military service as well as six years of study at the Dusseldorf Art Academy. Upon moving to New York City, von Hassler studied with members of the famous Ashcan School. Following service in the US Army against his native Germany, von Hassler relocated to New Mexico where he pursued his artistic career once again. Size: 10.125" W x 12.125" H (25.7 cm x 30.8 cm); 17.5" W x 19.625" H (44.4 cm x 49.8 cm) including frame
Interestingly, by 1917, von Hassler's fellow Ashcan painters were lured to New Mexico to depict the Southwest lands and its people, but Von Hassler joined the US Army to do battle against his native Germany. Sadly, his brother enlisted to fight for Germany, and when his brother was killed, von Hassler's mother disowned Carl. Following his release from the Army, von Hassler moved to New Mexico. Rather than Santa Fe, which was the destination of this artist friends, he settled in Albuquerque, but he traveled throughout New Mexico - excited to capture the indigenous flora and fauna - as well as its pueblos and peoples. Von Hassler appreciated various media: oil, egg tempera, as well as watercolor. At the Dusseldorf Academy he studied the chemistry of paint, and throughout his career he explored new materials in order to arrive at the proper colors and textures.
Carl Von Hassler has a very impressive auction record. Recently, his "Summer Mesa Scene" (1927) - an oil on canvas of similar dimensions - sold at Santa Fe Art Auction on November 10, 2018 hammering at $2,250. The somewhat smaller "Adobe at Night" sold for $2500 at Clars Auction Gallery on February 18, 2017.
