Bonhams will present its Modern & Contemporary Art Online sale this August. Over 170 lots of fine art by the likes of Reuven Rubin and Armand Guillaumin will go under the hammer. A key highlight is an oil on canvas painting titled Peace Offering by Reuven Rubin. A Romanian-born Jewish painter, Rubin served as Israel’s first ambassador to Romania. He was considered a pioneer in the Israeli art world. The artist often depicted Biblical landscapes of his hometown and mythological subjects. The available lot is signed ‘Rubin’ and further signed in Hebrew. According to the auction house, Peace Offering was previously in the collection of Rabbi Dr. Alfred Gottschalk, a leader in the Reform Judaism movement. It is rendered in radiant, earthy shades of green and brown.
Other notable lots in the sale include a 1900 oil painting by French artist Armand Guillaumin (1841 – 1927). A member of the Impressionist group, Guillaumin was a close friend of Danish-French painter Camille Pissarro. They both met while studying at the Académie Suisse. His artworks were often composed of intense colors and depicted seascapes, industrial subjects, and landscapes of Creuse, Paris, and Esterel areas. The available lot, titled Les Roches rouges à Agay, is signed ‘Guillaumin’ and inscribed ‘N° 8’ on the reverse.
