CHICAGO – Hindman‘s May 3 auction of American and European art delivers a delightful and invigorating lineup of paintings, sculptures, and other works from a wide range of American and European artists — some well-known, and some that deserve to be better known. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

An oil-on-canvas by the influential Pennsylvania Impressionist artist Daniel Garber stands out from an already strong roster. Near Solebury, 1917 (shown at top) is a powerful example of his early-20th-century style and displays exquisite and subtle mastery of color. The Garber painting carries an estimate of $70,000-$90,000.

Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita, ‘Les Deux Amies (The two friends),’ estimated at $150,000-$250,000

Les Deux Amies (The two friends), a beguiling 1957 canvas by the French-Japanese artist Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita, is estimated at $150,000-$250,000. Though it depicts two young girls, Foujita keeps the oil-and-ink image entirely free of any saccharine qualities and even comes off as a tad unsettling; each child seems to be in her own world.

Henri Le Sidaner, ‘Jets d'eau sur le ciel (Jets of water against the sky)’, estimated at $60,000-$80,000

Jets d’eau sur le ciel (Jets of water against the sky), a 1937 painting by Henri Le Sidaner, could sell for $60,000-$80,000. Its cool palette, dominated by shades of white and mint greens, relays a forcefully vertical image of pale, slim trees.

Lawrence Lebduska, ‘Cows Grazing,’ estimated at $3,000-$5,000
