MONROVIA, Calif. — More than 500 lots of fine American, Californian and Western art arrive in two sessions at John Moran Auctioneers on Tuesday, November 14 and Wednesday, November 15, headed up by works from Edgar Alwin Payne, Gerald Cassidy and David Lemon. The catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers (Californian and American Fine Art, Art of the American West).

Beloved California Impressionist Edgar Alwin Payne (1883-1947) is a feature of Day 1, with four originals headed to the block. Though known for his bucolic views of the California coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains, it is The Water Front, Sottomarina, Italy that commands the highest estimate among his works, created during one of his and wife Elise Phillippa Palmer’s frequent trips to Europe. It is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

A bout of pneumonia brought Gerald Cassidy (1879-1934) to the American Southwest, where he fell in love with the people and geography, devoting his life to capturing these views in both paintings and murals. Church in New Mexico presents a haunting view of an old woman facing the adobe structure with a foreboding sky above. It is estimated at $25,000-$35,000.

Robert Daughters (1929-2013) left a successful career in advertising to embrace art, co-founding an artists’ group known as the Taos 6. Aspens is an oil on canvas dated 1993 that captures Daughters’ late-career interest in post-Impressionism. It is estimated at $5,000-$7,000.

The American West session is topped by Horses pulling a stagecoach, an oil on canvas by Olaf Wieghorst (1899-1988). Originally from Denmark, Wieghorst arrived in the United States in 1918 and rose to become one of the most renowned painters of the American West. The 28 by 38in work is inscribed on the reverse Mail Going East and West, suggesting his original title for the piece. It is estimated at $12,000-$16,000.

The sale also features a selection of David Lemon (b. 1945-) bronze sculptures of various Western themes. Out of Arrows depicts a fierce battle between a bison and an American Indian on horseback. The dramatic patinated bronze carries an estimate of $1,500-$2,500.
