Charles Sayers (1901-1943), 'Gracht benedenstad Soerabaia' / A canal in downtown Surabaya, signed 'Ch. Sayers' (lower left), oil on canvas, 55x70 cm, Charles Eugène Henri Sayers (Gemoeh 1901 - Thambyazajat 1943) was born in the East Indies to a family with a long and deep connection to the country. He did not paint what he saw, but what he felt. His work can be characterised as a personification of the search by Dutch East Indies artists in general: neither completely Western, nor wholly Oriental. Tragically, he died far too young. We will never know the direction his painting may have taken. In this auction Venduehuis The Hague offers Sayer’s painting titled 'Gracht benedenstad Soerabaia'. A painting with this title is included in the – incomplete - list compiled from works in public and private collections in the publication by Koos van Brakel on p. 140, no. 160 as: ‘Canal in downtown Surabaya (Gracht uit de benedenstad, Soerabaia); c. 1935; oil painting’. In all probability this concerns the same painting. A quick overview: At the age of eleven, Sayers is sent to the Netherlands to receive a formal education. He attends the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam. He spends some years in Paris, before returning to Indonesia where, from 1932 until 1934, he lives and works in Bali. Sayer’s incentive to return to Java in 1934, was a commission to paint four portraits of the Governors-General. These and other portraits were to earn him a reputation in the East Indies community on Java. He also had frequent occasion to exhibit his paintings. Charles and his family lived in Surabaya for the first few months of 1935. Later that year he made a trip to Japan, and in 1935 they lived in Batavia for a while. ‘Gracht benedenstad Soerabai’ will have been painted in 1935. Sayers opened an exhibition on 24 April 1936 in the Batavia Fine Arts Circle building; apart from portraits he mainly exhibited new works painted in Surabaya and Japan. Again, it is very well possible that ‘Gracht Benedenstad Soerabaia’ was exhibited here. In this period the surface treatment of his painting is rougher and his palette darker, with much black, ultramarine, umber and burnt sienne; this is clearly visible in the painting now in auction.

Charles Sayers (1901-1943), A portrait of Joan Mary Rijkee, signed and dated 'Ch. Sayers / '38 ' (upper right), oil on canvas, 40x30 cm, Provenance:, Ms. Joan Mary Rijkee (Sumatra 1930 - Arnhem 2019) was a grandchild of Mr. John Theodoor Petrus Blumberger (Semarang 1873 - 's-Gravenhage 1961), assistent-resident of Soerakarta. Blumberger wrote several books, among which the article 'Raden Saleh als portret schilder' in the magazine 'Nederlandsch-Indië Oud en Nieuw', begin 1920s. She was the daughter of Johan Willem Rijkee (Weltevreden 1901 - Batavia 1942), who died during an inspection trip as a tax inspector. He was also a meritorious painter and very good friends with Charles Sayers: they often painted together. This is how Sayers made this portrait of Joan, daughter of his friend Johan Rijkee, when she was eight years old.

Portrait of a Balinese Legong dancer signed and annotated 'Ch. Sayers Bali' (lower left) oil on panel, 37x39,5 cm Charles Sayers’ work is popular amongst admirers of exotic expressionist paintings. Sayers was born in Gemoeh in Central Java in 1901, and in spite of his early death created an impressive oeuvre. His paintings are impressive for their thoughtful compositions and expressions as well as his use of bright colours and striking perspectives. One such exceptional work was sold at the Venduehuis in the autumn of 2014: a painting of a Batak village in Sumatra that includes every one of these characteristics. This time, we are offering a modestly sized portrait of a Balinese dancer. But its size in no way lessens its impact. The dancer fixes us, her audience, with an intense gaze. Her face is framed by a beautiful flower wreath and the fabric of her outfit. An unforgettable work of art. When the Japanese invaded the Indies, Sayers was captured and forced to work on the Burma Railway as a prisoner of war. Weakened through malnutrition and malaria, he died on 15 November 1943 in camp ‘Km 114’, Thambyazajat, Burma. He was only 41 years old.
