J. and Jean Hogan of Bronxville, New York. The Hogan Collection was assembled

female scientists at the firm. Mr. Hogan was a vice president at American
Airlines, and acquired several of the works in the Hogan Collection directly

Highlighting the works by European artists is the charcoal drawing
of Nadia by Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954). Drawn
in the summer of 1948 in Paris, Matisse depicts a smiling ingenue
through his sparing use of lines (est. $90,000-120,000). Maurice
de Vlaminck's (1876-1958) Route de Village from
the Hogan Collection displays a country lane with a picket fence
and leading toward village houses (est. $70,000-90,000). Moise
Kisling (Polish-French, 1891-1953) was born in Cracow and studied
there at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Arriving in Paris in 1910, he
met Braque and Picasso, whose Cubist style influenced his early
work. His La Coupe de Fruits from 1915 illustrates this influence
(est. $40,000-60,000). Maurice Utrillo (French, 1883-1955)
is represented by two works in the sale, both from the Hogan Collection.
Le Lapin Agile Sous la Neige from circa 1955 offers
a snowy village scene (est. $30,000-50,000) and La Caserne de
Lourcine Bd. Du Port-Royal from 1923 depicts guards at a gate
with the flying tri-couleur (est. $25,000-35,000). Marie Laurencin's
(French, 1883-1956) Jeune Fille from the Hogan Collection
is a charming portrait of a young woman with a scarf over her head
(est. $15,000-25,000) and Bernard Buffet's (French,
b. 1928) Au Bon Coin offers a view of a café on a
village corner (est. $12,000-16,000). Andre Lhote (French,
1885-1962) is represented by two works, a 1956 Nude (est.
$15,000-25,000) and Seated Female Nude (est. $2,000-3,000),
and German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is represented by
his pastel on paper, Nude with Chair (est. $35,000-45,000).
The
auction will also feature works by Fernand Leger, Andre Lanskoy,
Roger Muhl, Roberto Gaetano Crippa, Erik Pevernagie, Giovanni Bartolena,
Fausto Pirandello, Giusppe Uncini, Sigmund Joseph Menkes, Jean (Hans)
Arp, and Maurice Esteve, among others.
