About the Item

Artist: Beatrice Werlie (French, 21st Century) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 19.5 x 19.5 inches Signature: Signed lower right Inscriptions: Titled Contretemps and dated 2004 verso Provenance: From a private collection of the artist’s work, Normandy, France Condition: In very good condition Description A layered and narrative-led composition, where figures, interiors and symbolic elements are brought together in a structured, almost stage-like arrangement. Fragmented scenes sit side by side, from the solitary figure in the lower left to the stylised motifs of flowers, windows and gestures above, each contributing to a sense of quiet tension and movement within the painting. The palette is soft but distinctive. Muted turquoise, terracotta and pale blue tones are held together by gentle outlining and simplified forms, giving the work a slightly naïve, illustrative quality. Despite its apparent simplicity, the composition is carefully balanced, with each section interacting subtly with the next. This is a painting that rewards time and attention. It works well in spaces where it can be properly observed, such as a sitting room, study or hallway, offering something more than a purely decorative presence. It brings a sense of narrative and individuality, particularly suited to interiors that lean towards collected, personal arrangements rather than uniform styling. Werlie’s work sits within a contemporary French tradition of figurative abstraction, where storytelling and composition take precedence over realism. Pieces such as this reflect a thoughtful, expressive approach, grounded in both colour and structure.

"Interior Scene with Figure" Expressionistic Style Oil Painting on Masonite

By Michael Baxte

Located in New York, NY

A strong modernist oil painting depicted in 1969 by Russian painter Michael Baxte. Mostly known for his abstracted figures on canvas or street scenes, this piece is a wonderful representation of his bold still life paintings, with expressive use of color, shape, and form. Later in his career, Baxte explores Expressionism, infusing both European and North American stylistic trends. This piece is from later in his career, but we can feel this underlying style throughout. Art measures 21.75 x 18 inches Michael Posner Baxte was born in 1890 in the small town of Staroselje Belarus, Russia. For the first half of the 19th century it was a center of the Chabad movement of Hasidic Jews, but this group was gone by the middle of the 19th century. By the time the Baxte family immigrated to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish population numbered only on the hundreds. The native language of the Baxte family was Yiddish. It is likely that the death of Michael Baxte’s father triggered the family’s immigration. Three older brothers arrived in New York between 1903 and 1905. Michael and his mother, Rebecca, arrived in 1907. By 1910 Michael, his mother, and brother, Joseph, were living in New Orleans and may have spent some time on a Louisiana plantation. Around 1912, Michael Baxte returned to Europe to study the violin. In 1914 he, his mother, and Joseph moved to New York City. Meanwhile, in Algeria, a talented young woman painter, Violette Mege, was making history. Since for the first time, a woman won the prestigious Beaux Art competition in Algeria. At first, the awards committee denied her the prize but, with French government intervention, Mege eventually prevailed. She won again 3 years later and, in 1916, used the scholarship to visit the United States of America. When Violette came to New York, she met Baxte, who was, by then, an accomplished violinist, teacher, and composer. Baxte’s compositions were performed at the Tokyo Imperial Theater, and in 1922 he was listed in the American Jewish Yearbook as one of the prominent members of the American Jewish community. As a music teacher he encouraged individual expression. Baxte stated, “No pupil should ever be forced into imitation of the teacher. Art is a personal experience, and the teacher’s truest aim must be to awaken this light of personality through the patient light of science.” By 1920 Michael Baxte and Violette Mege were living together in Manhattan. Although they claimed to be living as husband and wife, it seems that their marriage did not become official until 1928. On their “unofficial” honeymoon around 1917, in Algiers, Baxte confided to her his ambition to paint. There and later in New Mexico where the wonderful steeped sunlight approximates the coloring of Algiers, she taught him his heart’s desire. He never had any other teacher. She never had any other pupil. For ten years she devoted all her time, energy, and ambition to teaching, encouraging, inspiring him. Then in 1928, their mutual strivings were rewarded, as his works were being chosen as one of the two winners in the Dudensing National Competition for American Painters. Out of 150 artists from across the country participated in the Dudensing, and Michael Posner Baxte and, Robert Fawcett...
