- Lot Description
Lawren Stewart Harris (Canadian, 1885-1970)
Abstraction
Signed "LAWREN/HARRIS" l.l., identified and dated "1939 New Mexico/Member of the Transcendental Paint Movement located in Santa Fe/..." on an unattributed gummed label affixed to the reverse, and with a partial typed label on the reverse bearing a quote from Dane Rudhyar, and a small foil label from the 1939 World's Fair of San Francisco Bay also on the reverse.
Oil on panel, 23 1/2 x 17 5/8 in. (60.0 x 45.0 cm), framed.
Condition: Fine vertical crack to panel surface on the right side, natural pigment fluorescence.
N.B. The Transcendental Painting Group (TPG) was comprised of New Mexico artists dedicated to the promotion of abstract and non-objective art. Their stated purpose in their manifesto was "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual." The group exhibited actively between 1938 and 1942. Members included Raymond Jonson, Emil Bisttram, Lawren Harris, Ed Garman, Robert Gribbroek, William Lumpkins, Agnes Pelton, Florence Miller Pierce, Horace Towner Pierce, and Stuart Walker. Dane Rudhyar and Alfred Morang may also have been members. Works by Emil Bisttram are included in this auction as Lots 429 and 437.
Estimate $2,500-3,500
There is also a press card made out to Lindsay Arthur for the 1939 Golden Gate International Expoisition inserted in a small envelope affixed to the frame.
