masterpiece
1925 House by the Railroad by Hopper
MoMA
Painted in 1925 by Edward Hopper, House by the railroad features an outdated Victorian mansion confronted with a surrounding which is void of any living being. Despite the breakthrough of his new style to express a lonely mood, the artist preferred puzzling his followers by stating that he "was more interested in the sunlight on the buildings and on the figures than any symbolism".
1925 Twelve Landscapes by Qi Baishi
2017 SOLD for RMB 930M including premium by Poly
narrated in 2020
The traditional Chinese graphic art is an uninterrupted series of imitations of the old masters. Bada Shanren's eccentric approach at the very beginning of the Qing dynasty is a rare exception.
Born in Hunan province into a family of poor peasants, Qi Baishi was self-taught. Settled in Beijing at the age of 53 in 1917, he drew inspiration from Bada Shanren to develop a vigorous and spontaneous line, reaching poetry through a free realism. His greatest innovation is the use of inks in very bright colors.
His themes are varied while being ordinary and peaceful : landscapes, trees, countless small things. He paints according to his own observations, is not interested in symbols and allegories and does not follow Bada Shanren in the rebellion. Far away from politics, he will never be threatened.
On December 17, 2017, Poly sold in Beijing for RMB 930M including premium, worth US $ 144M at that time, a monumental suite of twelve screens 180 x 47 cm each. They were painted by Qi in 1925 in light blue, gray, brown and pink on the theme of mountains, villages and blossoming trees.
This result rewards a major work from the seminal period of modern Chinese art of which Qi was one of the greatest influencers. It is to date (2020) the highest price recorded at auction outside New York and the highest price for Chinese art.
The twelve panels are illustrated side by side in the CTV News article announcing their display at the Poly Culture Art Center in Vancouver in October 2017 with an estimate of US $ 100M.
There is only one other similar set by Qi. Painted in 1932, it is kept in a museum in Chongqing.

1925 Miro's Hallucinations
2012 SOLD 17 M£ including premium
In 1924, Joan Miro is one of the signatories of the Manifeste du Surréalisme. The artist receives the highest possible compliment of André Breton: "Miro is the most surrealist of ourselves."
Indeed, the artist has lost interest in realism and is exploring the dream and the subconscious. Miro's approach is deeply original and will be recognized as such by Picasso. He is the first surrealist to transcend the boundaries between poetry and painting.
The literary and artistic expression must be free from conventions, but not indispensably spontaneous. The words of the poem escape without building a usual phrase. The language of the image, close to abstraction, invites for multiple interpretations.
If the poem deals with the female body, for example, the observer led on by the erotic force of the words will look for some marks, and find and lose. Those two spots of color : are they the breasts or are they the eyes?
Miro is no longer interested in reality. His themes are inspired by other poems or songs. On February 7 in London, Christie's sells "le corps de ma brune", estimated £ 6M. So amazing for its time, this oil on canvas made in 1925, 130 x 96 cm, is superimposing text and colors. The layout of the words is free, like in a poem of Apollinaire. Here is the link to the catalog.
This painting provides the key to all the later work, so often hermetic but always dreamlike, of Miro. When the letters will disappear from the field, the title will provide the link between the image and its multiple interpretations.

1925 Rue Blomet Style
2021 SOLD for £ 10.2M including premium
Surrealism is the expression of the subconscious. In 1924 André Breton explains the new literary theories. Joan Miro has his studio on rue Blomet, next to André Masson's. A sort of cenacle of young poets is formed, including Aragon, Eluard, Desnos, Leiris, Queneau.
Miro knew how to stage colorful symbols in a landscape environment. The influence of his new friends leads him to dreamlike abstraction. The colors he distributes on his canvases are the mirror of his subconscious. In 1925 he reflects his great personal concern of that time, the search for a woman.
The public loves these warm colors interspersed with biomorphic details that are not identifiable. He would later say that he was more inspired by poets than by painters. His abstraction completely escapes the geometries of Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian. His art is Peinture, and he often uses this French title.
Peinture, oil on canvas 146 x 114 cm painted in 1925, is estimated £ 9M for sale by Christie's in London on March 23, lot 106. The space is filled with undulating abstract lines of great thinness, prefiguring his crypto-figurations which will culminate in 1927 with the blue period and in 1940 with the Constellations series.
Also painted in 1925 in similar hues, Le Corps de ma Brune, oil on canvas 130 x 96 cm, superimposes an automatic poem on the abstract composition. This erotic-inspired composite artwork was sold for £ 17M including premium by Christie's on February 7, 2012.

1925 Miro walking into Pataphysics
2012 SOLD 13.7 M$ including premium
In his studio located Rue Blomet, Miro is a neighbor of the most original intellectuals of Paris. In 1925, these young people are not satisfied with any academicism and wish to integrate the absurd within their system of thought.
Surrealism is just born but pataphysics, that parody of metaphysics and of all serious systems, had been started in 1898 by Alfred Jarry with his calculation of the area of God.
Miro wants to push his work into a new semiotic and manages to attract the admiration of Breton. He is young and single, and when walking in the streets of Paris he seeks to decipher the mystery of the woman.
On November 7 in New York, Christie's sells an oil on canvas, 92 x 73 cm, entitled Peinture (femme, journal, chien), estimated $ 12M. At that time, the title is of considerable importance in the art of Miro. In the first reading of this work, the image and the word are matching.
It is a painting, of course. The woman is a silhouette in bodice and skirt, the other elements are stylized including an absurd hat and the head replaced by a red heart that reflects the desires of the artist. She is walking the dog and waving the newspaper, a trapezoid whose text is limited to three letters, JOU, common start for JOUrnal (newspaper) and JOUeur (player).
The first owner of this painting was Raymond Queneau, who will be the most important pataphysician and a great shaker of the French language. Aged 22 in 1925, he was already frequenting the circle of the Surrealists. Finding a meaning to the mysterious JOU and to the symbolism of the heart-head certainly amazed him.

1925 Chaim Soutine, the Secret Painter
2012 SOLD 9.4 M$ including premium
Soutine has all the qualities of a true artist. He followed his own path, leaving no writings, destroying progressively his works that did not please him anymore.
He listened only to his inspiration exacerbated by his stomach ulcer, and his themes are new. Yet he had a predecessor: Modigliani, another Jew in Paris, his drinking companion in Montparnasse, who died in 1920.
The portraits by Modigliani show anonymous characters from chance encounters. The beauty of the line and the balance of the composition make them masterpieces. Soutine too shows half-length figures, adding the extreme violence of the colors and the extreme hardness of the line.
On his arrival in Paris, Soutine had a job of luggage carrier at Montparnasse railway station. He took as subjects of his portraits the petty employees of hotels or restaurants, these people who help wealthy customers but are never considered by anyone.
Le Chasseur de chez Maxim's (Maxim's Groom), oil on canvas 82 x 75 cm made circa 1925, was sold for $ 6.7 million including premium on 4 November 2004 at Sotheby's. Here is the link to this result in the Artvalue database.
This painting comes again for sale in the estate of the purchaser of that time. It is now estimated $ 10M, for sale on May 2 by Sotheby's in New York. Since 2004, the art market was becoming aware of the exceptional expressive interest and of the rarity of the best works by Soutine.

1925 The Supremacy of Colors
2019 SOLD for £ 4.9M including premium
Throughout Europe, the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the early twentieth century start from the observation of the rapid changes in society and in the living conditions. The past must be annihilated, no tolerance is accepted.
Ivan Kliun met Malevich in 1907. Around 1914, he painted Cubo-Futurist works, bringing bright colors to the analytical Cubist style of Braque and Picasso. He is one of the first Suprematist artists, participating in Petrograd in 1915 at the 0,10 exhibition where Malevich unveils his Black Square.
A painting is no longer a representation of nature but an autonomous object. Suprematists promote the simulation of movement through forms and colors, with a total deletion of perspective.
In 1921 Kliun reintroduces the light. His art remains non-objective but he uses in his new research the projection of spheres on the surface, revealing the reflections. Malevich states that this new approach is a step backwards. In 1932 the Soviet government put an end to Suprematism by banning abstract art.
Very few major works by Kliun have survived. On November 26 in London, Sotheby's sells an oil on board 102 x 70 cm, lot 51 estimated £ 2.5M. The source of light is shown at the upper left corner. Typical of the Spherical Suprematism, it is probably one of the three examples of this variant of Suprematism that were exhibited in Moscow in 1925. The tweet shows a detail.

1924-1925 Le Violoniste by Chagall
2023 SOLD for $ 5.9M by Christie's
Marc Chagall had lost his art during the First World War. A stabilized life will enable him to restart from memory his favorite themes.
The street violinist is anchored in the ritual of his Jewish upbringing in Vitebsk. One theme features the old musician playing in the air surrounded by small houses. In a less oneiric theme, he is seating at rest on a bench in front of an izba with his instrument under the elbow and the unused bow in the other hand.
The 1920 version of the seated violinist features behind the scene a small scale view of the man leaving out of field like the wandering Jew, without the instrument.
Things go better in 1923 when he arrives in Paris. A few months later he is reunited with his wife Bella and his daughter Ida. His palette becomes more vibrant.
A new version of Le Violoniste sur le banc is painted in rich colors ca 1924-1925. The face of the old Jew is now detailed and colorful and he is now welcoming and happy. His small counterpart is leaving from the same place as in the 1920 picture.
This oil on canvas 72 x 57 cm was sold for $ 5.9M by Christie's on May 11, 2023, lot 52A.

Nu adossé
2012 SOLD for $ 5.5M by Sotheby's
A sexually sensitive Nu adossé dated 1925 was signed T. de Lempitzki, the masculine version disguising by precaution Tamara's gender. This very early opus was exhibited in the same year in her solo exhibition 'Tamara de Lempitzka' in Milan and in the Parisian Salon d'Automne.
The mid length nude young woman with a chubby flesh is comfortably contorted in a green sofa. The head of the appealing beauty is bent to the left to pose the cheek on the shoulder and the crossed arms hide the breast. At that time Tamara was inspired by selfies and by movie stars as evidenced by period photos.
After resurfacing from a 86 year loss of location, this oil on canvas 81 x 54 cm was sold for $ 5.5M from a lower estimate of $ 3M by Sotheby's on May 2, 2012, lot 46.
Selfies cannot please for long the bisexual artist. In 1927 she selects Rafaëla during a chance wandering. The brunette Rafaëla matches Tamara's quest of the ideal woman at the same time when the blonde Marie-Thérèse Walter matches Picasso's.
Le Rêve, painted in similar dimensions in 1927 and sub-titled Rafaëla sur fond vert, is a remake of the Nu adossé using now the face lines and the dark hair in the fashion of the movie star Louise Brooks. It was sold for $ 8.5M by Sotheby's on November 2, 2011.

Marquis d'Afflito
2012 SOLD for $ 4.6M by Christie's
Maria Gorska led her artistic career as no woman had done before her. She desired a free, rich and worldly life. Aged 18, she chooses a husband who can offer such criteria and becomes Maria Lempicka. Pushed away by the Russian revolution, they arrive in Paris. She takes as her artist name Tamara de Lempicka, sometimes spelled Lempitzka for inviting to the correct pronunciation of her name in French.
The openly bisexual young woman appeals the wealthy clients to whom she proposes to realize their portraits. She studies the paintings of the Italian Renaissance and offers soft colors and sharp realistic lines barely altered by the cubism that André Lhote had taught to her.
The elite conquered by Tamara dresses according to fashion. In addition to their pictorial quality, her paintings remain a testimony and even a symbol of the Roaring Twenties.
The reputation of sexual freedom of the Italian aristocracy suits her purpose. In 1925, she leaves for new adventures. It succeeded : the young dandies invite her in their bed.
The portraits are made with bold angles. The Marquis d'Afflito is nonchalant, slumped on a sofa, but he is handsome and ready to intervene. This oil on canvas 81 x 130 cm was sold for $ 4.6M by Christie's on November 7, 2012, lot 61.
Tamara made two portraits of the Marquis Sommi who was one of her lovers in the same Italian getaway. The vertical format is more sober and may be compared with Zborowski's friends painted by Modigliani in the previous decade.
One of them, 100 x 73 cm, was sold for $ 4.3M by Christie's on 3 November 2009. The other portrait of Sommi, 135 x 71 cm, passed at Sotheby's on November 14, 2016, lot 31.

1925 La Femme à la Toilette by Léger
2021 SOLD for $ 4.7M by Christie's
After the war Fernand Léger restarted figurative themes with the femme à la toilette, staging one or two women in their daily toilette occupation with the table and the mirror. At that time the figuration was still hard to decipher.
La Femme à la toilette, oil on canvas 92 x 73 cm painted in 1925, is an iteration with recognizable simplified forms but against without depth effect. The flat use of pure colors within black lines is inspired by the De Stijl movement of van Doesburg and Mondrian. In line with Purisme, Léger had opened an atelier with Ozenfant in 1924. He assimilates at that time the body to a machine subjected to constructed forms.
The atmosphere is surrealist. The brunette with a very long hair is only visible in an interrupted mirror that reflects half her back and a raised hand. That mirror is partly masking another one with a different frame that reflects a piece of furniture. Objects for a daily use are placed on the tablette but their reflection does not appear.
The final version, sub-titled "définitif", was sold for $ 4.7M from a lower estimate of $ 1.5M by Christie's on November 11, 2021, lot 48C.
