* Omar Onsi (Lebanon, 1901-1969) Nude by a Seascape
Est: £14,000 - £18,000
Omar Onsi (Lebanon, 1901-1969) Nude by a Seascape oil on canvas, framedsigned "O. Onsi" (lower right)65 x 54cm (25 9/16 x 21 1/4in). Provenance:Property from a private collection, Beirut"The artist should paint not only what he has in front of him but also what he sees inside himself." Caspar Friedrich Sensually rendered yet thoughtful, the present lot is a stirring and sensitive example of Omar Onsi's nude compositions. Depicting a voluptuous nude figure gazing pensively across the sea foam, the work recalls the "self-reflection" expressed through Friedrich's "Wanderer over the Sea of Fog". Onsi was born in Beirut. After an attempt to study medicine, Onsi studied painting in Beirut with Khalil Saleeby. From 1922 to 1927, he travelled to Transjordan, where he taught painting and English to the children of King Abdullah. The discovery of the desert and its colours during this stay had a major influence on his work.In 1928, Onsi went to Paris to continue his training and stayed for 3 years, attending the Académie Julian and different workshops. During that period, Onsi focused on painting portraits, nudes, and Parisian scenery. In 1933, he returned to Lebanon, bringing back a colourful impressionist palette and applying it to Lebanese landscapes and figural compositions Like both Renoir and Saleeby, Onsi exhibited a fascination with the depiction of the female nude, an important staple of academic training and thus one basis of art making throughout European art academies. For Impressionist artists like Renoir, the nude body provided an ideal subject through which to overturn artistic conventions and explore the dematerialization of form with light. Similarly, Onsi's own extraordinary body of nudes in exhibit a sustained experimentation with the effects of light infused colour and rhythmic brushstrokes.

Est: £20,000 - £40,000
Omar Onsi (Lebanese, 1901-1969) View of Hauran oil on canvas, framed executed in 1935 65 x 50cm (25 9/16 x 19 11/16in). FOOTNOTES Omar Onsi was a pioneer of modern painting in Lebanon and is considered Lebanon's most renowned landscape painter along with Mustapha Farroukh Onsi was born in Beirut. After an attempt to study medicine, Onsi studied painting in Beirut with Khalil Saleeby. From 1922 to 1927, he traveled to Transjordan, where he taught painting and English to the children of King Abdullah. The discovery of the desert and its colours during this stay had a major influence on his work. In 1928, Onsi went to Paris to continue his training and stayed for 3 years, attending the Académie Julian and different workshops. During that period, Onsi focused on painting portraits, nudes, and Parisian scenery. In 1933, he returned to Lebanon, bringing back a colorful impressionist palette and a French second wife. From then on, his work focused on the Lebanese landscape. Hauran Hauran gets its name from the Aramaic Hawran, meaning "cave land." In geographic and geomorphic terms, it extends from near Damascus and Mount Hermon in the north to the Ajloun mountains of Jordan in the south. It includes the Golan Heights in the west and is bounded there by the Jordan Rift Valley; it also includes Jabal al-Druze in the east and is bounded there by more arid steppe and desert terrains. The Yarmouk River drains much of the Hauran to the west and is the largest tributary of the Jordan River. The volcanic soils of Hauran make it one of the most fertile regions in Syria; it has traditionally been a home to Syria's Druze minority
