Decorative Arts, Fine Art & Jewelry

Two works from Èdouard Leon Cortès are on offer in the upcoming Decorative Arts, Fine Art, & Jewelry auction, presented by Bunte Auction Services, Inc. The son of a family of painters, Cortès focused on the beauty of Paris and its inhabitants within his paintings. One of the available works depicts pedestrians and a horse-drawn carriage passing the Place De La Madeleine. The other painting shows a farmer leading a cart in the countryside. Though Cortès was active well into the 20th century, he painted historical subjects with a desire to stop time before World War II. 

Several paintings from Will Lamm will be presented in this sale as well. Paeon, Ca. 1949 is highlighted. This framed and signed oil painting shows an angel in white flying above a courtyard. The piece was exhibited in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and won the 1951 Hallgarten Prize at the National Academy of Design. An Alexander Calder lithograph, a landscape from William Didier Pouget, and a selection of vintage rings will also be offered.
