Marc Chagall & His Contemporaries

Pridham's is pleased to offer the important and extensive art collection of Joseph Liverant (1894-1981). This collection will include original works, lithographic posters, and related material (books) by Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Most examples are signed and / or signed and dedicated to Mr. Liverant, Also included in this collection are original works by Pablo Picasso, James Ensor, Raymond Moretti, and Raoul Dufy. Mr. Liverant, an Ex-Pat of Russian Jewish origin, fled Germany to take residence in Canada during the Second World War. Marc Chagall, an ex-Pat of Russian Jewish origin, was fleeing France and the Holocaust to take refuge in New York City during the war years. In the years following his return to France, Chagall took up residence at his famed home in St-Paul-de-Vence while Liverant purchased a residence in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Social circles, shared interests, a common Jewish background including speaking Yiddish along with a proximity in age, transpired into a long, congenial relationship. This warm relationship is evident in the numerous dedications made on the lithographs and books that are in this collection. After Liverant's death, the collection was passed onto his wife Marguerite, and subsequently to his stepson, Mr. Félix Quinet. Mr. Quinet took great pride in his mother and stepfather's collection, donating many pieces to the National Gallery of Canada. Upon Mr. Quinet's recent passing, the family has decided to divest the collection through public auction. Inclusions: Persian rugs, Chagall posters, an impressive Venetian glass chandelier, a pair of Art Deco ceramic nautical figures by Edouard Cazaux (1889-1974, French), several pieces of fine Venetian glass and Austrian stemware (J&L Lobmeyr Hoffman, 1917) from the Lilian M. Stewart Foundation (Montreal), and several monumental, commissioned pieces of fine artwork by well known listed Canadian artists from the Canderel-Ottawa Collection.
