      • AMERICAN WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY ROBERT FR BLUM
        Apr. 15, 2023

        AMERICAN WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY ROBERT FR BLUM

        Est: $100 - $150

        Robert Frederick Blum, American, 1857 to 1903, watercolor painting on paper depicting a Japanese family scene in a townscape. Signed lower left. Framed. Provenance: I.M. Chait Gallery Auctioneers, Los Angeles, CA, United States, February 21, 2023, lot 399. Robert Blum is known for Figure, genre and mural painting, illustration, lithography. He had much in common with several other leading artists associated with American Impressionism. In the late nineteenth century, Europeans and Americans had developed a fascination with Japanese art and civilization, as Japan had then recently been opened to Westerners. Many were unfamiliar with Japan's culture. In 1890, Blum became one of the first American artists to visit the country. Accepting a commission from Scribners Magazine, he created illustrations for a series of articles on Japanese life, and was immediately struck by the newness of his experience. One of a kind artwork.

        Nov. 07, 2021

        ROBERT FREDERICK BLUM CHINESE FIGHT SCENE WATERCOLOR & GOUACHE ON PAPERBOARD

        Est: -

        Robert Frederick Blum (1857 - 1903) Chinese Fight Scene Watercolor & Gouache on Paperboard. Artist hand signed on lower right corner. Includes a partial tag on the reverse of the board from Adolf de Jong's, an art supply store that was operating in New York during the time. Born in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, Robert Frederick Blum was the son of German-American parents. He had much in common with several other leading artists associated with American Impressionism, all of whom were from that city: John Twachtman, Ralph E. DeCamp, and Edward Potthast were all born in the 1850s, and each was a first-generation American whose parents had emigrated from Germany to Cincinnati. By the 1880s, New York offered the greatest opportunities in America for patronage. It was an irresistible lure for artists from smaller cities all across the country. In 1900 the Cincinnati Enquirer noted that DeCamp, Blum, and Twachtman, and Potthast were all instructors at New York's Art Students League, where years earlier Frank Duveneck had also taught. His vibrant and atmospheric canvases did much to promote the cause of American Impressionism. He also worked in etching, pastels and watercolor, and founded the Society of Painters in Pastel. In the late nineteenth century, Europeans and Americans had developed a fascination with Japanese art and civilization, as Japan had then recently been opened to Westerners. Many were unfamiliar with Japan's culture. In 1890, Blum became one of the first American artists to visit the country. Accepting a commission from Scribner's Magazine, he created illustrations for a series of articles on Japanese life, and was immediately struck by the newness of his experience. The winner of gold medals at the 1889 Paris Exposition and the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, Blum was a member of the National Academy of Design, Society of American Artists, American Watercolor Society, National Society of Mural Painters, and Society of Painters in Pastel. In addition to the Brooklyn Museum of Art, his paintings can be viewed at the Cincinnati Art Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Acquired by the present owners from the above, 1979.Robert Frederick Blum's interest in Japanese art likely began when he visited the Japanese Pavilion at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876. In 1890, he became one of the first American artists to visit Japan. He spent two years in the country and during this period executed a group of elegant portraits of Japanese women. Japanese Girl with Fan exhibits the Impressionist and Tonalist influences of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), whom Blum had met through his teacher, Frank Duveneck (1848-1919). Whistler, who was also captivated with Japanese culture, introduced Blum to the pastel medium. Blum would later become president of the Society of Painters of Pastel and some of the most highly regarded works from his oeuvre are in this medium.

In 1890 he received an assignment from Scribner's Magazine which took him there, and he spent two years working in a variety of media and creating a group of evocative portraits of women in pastel. He also kept a diary and wrote a three-part magazine article about the experience. Blum moved in the most progressive art circles of his day counting amount his friends and mentors Frank Duveneck, James Whistler, and William Merritt Chase.
