- Lot Description
Anita "Angna" Enters (American, 1907-1989), "Paris - Tuileries", oil on canvas, 1960. Signed and dated at lower right. A large and quite dreamy composition, depicting visitors enjoying the Tuileries Garden - a public garden of the Tuileries Palace, created by Catherine de' Medici in 1564, located between the Louvre and the Palace de la Concorde in Paris, France. Angna Enters studied at the Art Students' League under John Sloan (American, 1871-1951) and had her first New York exhibition in 1933. In addition to being a gifted painter and sculptor, Enters was a dancer - internationally known for her mime-like style in the 1920's - and an author. Playwright Stark Young described her style as ''free of influences foreign to her nature.'' Dance critic Walter Terry wrote in 1946, "To my way of thinking, the greatest quality about Angna Enters is her unfetteredness." Although quite famous in her day, Enters has only recently been rediscovered by the art world. Size: 23.5" W x 29" H (59.7 cm x 73.7 cm); 29" W x 34.25" H (73.7 cm x 87 cm) framed
Interestingly, Angna Enters was the subject of artwork by several of her famous contemporaries. Abraham Walkowitz created a pen and ink/watercolor entitled "Angna Enters" ca. 1936-1945 (1973.71.8) which is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/angna-enters-26636). Her teacher John Sloan created an etching entitled "The Green Hour (or Angna Enters in 'The Green Hour')" (1930) - with Enters as the subject.
Works by Angna Enters are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and other museum collections. Enters also painted the mural in the Penthouse Theatre of the University of Washington, Seattle. Furthemore, the Dance Collection of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts holds a special collection of her works and papers.
Enters was also the author of several books, including: "First person plural." New York: Stackpole sons, 1937. 46 p., 1 l., 47-386 p. incl. front., illus. (music) plates (1 col.) 24 cm.; "Love possessed Juanaa play in 4 acts", New York: Twice a Year Press, 1939. 5 p. l., 8, [1], 7-198 p. col. front., 9 pl. on 5 l. 24 cm. "Overture" (musical score): 8, [1] p. "This copy is number -- of the special limited edition of one hundred copies ... signed by the author."; "Silly girl, a portrait of personal remembrance." Cambridge, MA: Houghton Mifflin company, 1944. x,1 l., 322 p. col. front., illus., plates (part col.) 20 1/2 cm.; "Among the daughters, a novel."
