HILAIRE HILER Native Americans on Horseback.
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
HILAIRE HILER Native Americans on Horseback. Gouache pochoir and pencil, 1934. 233x167 mm; 9⅛x6⅝ inches (sight). Signed, dated and inscribed "Paris" in pencil, lower right recto. Provenance: Acquired from the artist, Paris, by Marie A. Gougelman Burling, New York, 1934; gifted to current owner, private collection, Illinois. Hiler (1898-1966) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and spent his childhood in Providence, Rhode Island. He lived in Paris as a young man from 1919 until 1934 and frequented, with avant-garde artists and writers of the time, the Jockey Club in Montparnasse. Along with the growing number of American expatriates came an increased interest among Parisians in Native American culture, Wild West shows, and exhibitions. Perhaps whetting this curiosity, the façade of the Jockey Club was painted with designs and figures based on Native American art. This mural has recently been attributed to Hiler, who is known to have worked on the club's interior, by historian Jonathan Dentler. Given the burgeoning popularity of this aesthetic in Paris, and that a nearly identical work exists in the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art, it is likely that Hiler painted the present work and others to sell as souvenirs to patrons and tourists.

Est: $2,000 - $3,000
HILAIRE HILER Théoule. Gouache on paper, 1929. 380x310 mm; 15x12 1/4 inches. Signed and dated in gouache, lower right recto. Provenance: Gift of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. Property of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Sold to benefit the Acquisitions Fund (A84.1935). Hiler (1898-1966) was an American artist, psychologist and color theoretician who worked in Europe and United States during the mid-20th century. At home and abroad, he was multifaceted, working as a muralist, jazz musician, costume and set designer, teacher, and author. He was best known for combining his artistic and psychoanalytical training to formulate an original perspective on color. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and he grew up in Providence, Rhode Island. As an expatriate living in Paris in the 1920s, Hiler became friends with the literary crowd of Henry Miller, Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, and Anaïs Nin. After returning to the United States, Hiler was named art director of the bathhouse building at the San Francisco Aquatic Park from 1936 to 1939, under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration. Théoule-sur-Mer, popularly known as Théoule, is a resort village in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France.
