    • Bahnc, Salcia (American,1896-1979) Pastel Drawing
      Mar. 13, 2016

      Bahnc, Salcia (American,1896-1979) Pastel Drawing

      Est: $200 - $400

      Bahnc, Salcia (American, 1896-1979) Pastel. "Mother and Child". Pastel on artist board. Signed lower left "Salcia Bahnc." In good condition, not framed. Measures 22" x 15". From Askart.com: Painter, illustrator, printmaker, teacher. Born in Dukla, Poland. Though she was born in Dukla, a town in south-eastern Poland, she moved to Prsemysl, one of the largest and most ancient cities of southern Poland, at a young age. Her mother was reportedly descended from the "Van Ast" family, a Dutch dynasty that produced several artists, including Balthasar van der Ast (1593/4 - 1657). According to one art historian she came to New York at the age of five (c. 1903), and another, at the age of eight (c. 1906). Her family was Jewish and reportedly quite wealthy. Why they would have left imperial Austria, under whose sovereignty either of her proposed birth cities were under, is unknown. However, while these areas did not suffer the pogroms typical in neighboring imperial Russia, the Austro-Hungarian empire had become much more anti-Semitic, which may have hasten their departure. How, according to one source, they ended up living in the Jewish ghetto of New York is extremely puzzling. Did they lose their wealth to some business disaster? Where they forced to leave it behind? Was there some familial tragedy? We may never know. In her youth she lived first in New York City and then in Boston, Massachusetts, where her family had relatives. It is reported that when she was in fourth grade she was found to be so competent in drawing that for the next two years she taught a drawing class after school for the other children. In Boston, Bahnc's mother eventually remarried and moved the family to Chicago where the young artist was primarily raised. In Chicago she worked during the days as a sales clerk in a department store. At night she put herself through school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and taught at her former alma mater after her graduation during the years 1923-1929. She also studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Art. She took up design work and began exhibiting painted silk creations at a private Chicago gallery (probably Thurber, see below). The first museum exhibitions she is known to have participated in were held at the Art Institute of Chicago. During this period she became known for her portraits. Originally a resident alien, she was naturalized at the district court of Chicago, Illinois in July of 1913. In 1920 she lived on East Ontario Street in Chicago in a neighborhood filled with art studios and artists, including James Allen Saint-John (1872-1957), Paul Bartlett (1881-1965), Pauline Palmer (1867-1938), and George Ames Aldrich (1872-1941). It is in Chicago that she saw her greatest success as an artist. In 1927, Chicago art dealer Chester H. Johnson said of her work: "The Art of Salcia Bahnc is a sincere manifestation of the spirit we know as 'Modernism' . . . . . . She is the spirit of the Age, not its Fashion." Local reviewers agreed, one going as far to say that her exhibition was " . . . the most interesting one man show by a young artist that has ever been presented to Chicago, and I keep telling myself that New York will get her if we don't watch out." She was apparently a favorite and friend of art critic Clarence Joseph Bulliet (1883-1952), who authored a number of books and articles that praised Bahnc's work. Bulliet was central in introducing and popularizing modern art in the mid-western United States. In his book Apples and Madonnas: Emotional Expression in Modern Art (1935) he called Bahnc a "A thorough Expressionist." A year later in his book The Significant Moderns and Their Pictures (1936) he noted that one of her paintings of a nude was ". . . powerful in its elemental brutality." During this period other critics reported positively on the work she was producing. Ida Ethelwyn Wing reported in a volume of the Delphian Text (1930) that Bahnc, was without doubt, ". . . the most vigorous
