"You've tried to alienate yourself but, Mal, I'm here, you -"

"Why? For two years I have been trying to live alone and to be able to accept this. Why are you here?"

Is a Painting Found at a Garage Sale a Van Gogh?

During Vincent van Gogh’s year-long stay in a French asylum, he created some 150 paintings—including Irises and The Starry Night. He also painted many interpretations of other artists’ work, calling them “translations.” As van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother Theo, he was “not copying pure and simple” but rather “translating into another language, the one of colors, the impressions of chiaroscuro and white and black.”

Now, experts say they’ve identified a long-lost van Gogh translation: an oil portrait of a red-cheeked fisherman, which an antiques collector purchased at a garage sale in Minnesota for under $50.

The collector sold the piece to the art research firm LMI Group International for an undisclosed amount in 2019. Since then, the company’s researchers have been investigating the painting, and they recently released a 450-page report detailing their conclusion: It’s a van Gogh.

When art historian Maxwell L. Anderson, chief operating officer of LMI Group, first laid eyes on the painting, he was “struck by what [he] saw,” as he tells the Wall Street Journal’s Kelly Crow. “Was I all in? No,” he adds. “But I was super intrigued.”

At the garage sale, the collector had been intrigued by the painting’s impasto, a technique involving thickly laid paint. The 18-inch-tall portrait depicts a white-bearded man by the sea who is smoking a pipe and repairing a fishing net. His downcast eyes betray contemplation, and his face is marked by ruddy coloring and deep smile lines. In the work’s bottom right corner is a signature: the word “Elimar.”

Though the piece lacked van Gogh’s famously vivid colors, Anderson saw “telltale signs of a deft painter at play,” per the Wall Street Journal. He also noticed a hair embedded in the brushwork.

In its analysis of Elimar, LMI Group combined science and technology with “traditional tools of connoisseurship, historical context, formal analysis and provenance research,” as chairman, president and CEO Lawrence M. Shindell says in a statement.

The company hired Jennifer Mass, president of Scientific Analysis of Fine Art, to analyze the canvas’ fibers and pigments. One particular red—geranium lake, or PR-50—introduced doubts. Van Gogh died by suicide in 1890, and researchers have always thought geranium lake was first patented around 1905.

Mass brought in patent lawyer Ben Appleton to search for an earlier patent. After a month of research, his firm found an 1883 patent for PR-50—a “find-within-a-find for conservators, who can now date and authenticate works containing this red pigment to the late 19th century,” writes the Wall Street Journal.

A genetic analysis of the hair embedded in the painting revealed that it had belonged to someone with red or red-brown hair. As van Gogh’s 35 self-portraits illustrate, the artist had ginger locks. Additionally, researchers found that the letters in the painting’s “Elimar” inscription—particularly the Es, Ms and As—match those in an 1885 van Gogh painting.

Van Gogh regularly neglected to sign his paintings, but why mark this one “Elimar”? According to LMI Group, Elimar is the name of a character in the 1848 Danish novel The Two Baronesses by Hans Christian Andersen—one of van Gogh’s favorite authors.

According to the report, van Gogh painted Elimar in 1889, during his first year at the sanitarium in southern France. Experts think Elimar is a so-called translation of Danish artist Michael Ancher’s portrait of fisherman Niels Gaihede, “a subject to which both [painter Paul] Gauguin and van Gogh were drawn,” per the statement.

“As soon as we saw the Ancher, I knew we were right,” art historian and LMI Group researcher William Havlicek tells the Wall Street Journal.

Experts think Elimar was inspired by Michael Ancher’s portrait of fisherman Niels Gaihede

The analysis has provided “fresh insight into the oeuvre of van Gogh, particularly as it relates to his practice of reinterpreting works by other artists,” Anderson says in the statement. He thinks Elimar is “a form of spiritual self-portrait, allowing viewers to see the painter as he wished to be remembered.”

LMI Group will soon begin showing Elimar to major van Gogh scholars and dealers. They think the artwork is worth at least $15 million. Still, the painting’s authorship is not yet widely accepted, and art experts are generally hesitant to draw conclusions about newly discovered works’ authenticity.

“People love it when things fall through the cracks, and it would be wonderful if they found a van Gogh,” Richard Polsky, an art authenticator who wasn’t involved in the project, tells the Wall Street Journal. “But they’ve got to pin everything down and get a scholar at the Van Gogh Museum [in Amsterdam] to sign off on it.”

The Van Gogh Museum has seen the painting before. The anonymous buyer submitted it to the museum in 2019, and experts ruled that it wasn’t the real deal. However, the museum hasn’t yet responded to the new report.

“At the end of the day, the most important thing is what the experts in Van Gogh think of the artwork,” Robert Snell, co-owner and fine arts specialist at Revere Auctions in St. Paul, tells KARE’s Kent Erdahl.

Snell is particularly interested in the painting’s provenance. “Trying to figure out how that piece ended up at a garage sale in Minneapolis is really the $15 million mystery,” he adds.

Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Sebastian Stan to Be Honored at Deauville Film Festival

Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams and Sebastian Stan will be honored at the Deauville American Film Festival which celebrates this year its 50th anniversary in the seaside town of French Normandy.

Portman and Williams will receive the Deauville Talent Award for their career achievements, while Stan will be honored with the Hollywood Rising Star Award.

“Portman has always taken on demanding roles (…) that are marked by this ambivalent presence, a mixture of strength and fragility. She has proven throughout her career that she can play all kinds of characters with depth and accuracy,” stated the Deauville Film Festival which is under the new leadership of Aude Hesbert.

Portman earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Todd Haynes’ “May December” which was presented at the Deauville Film Festival in 2023. The actor was already celebrated last year with a Deauville honorary tribute but was not able to attend the festival due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

She previously won an Oscar for her performance in “Black Swan” and earned two Oscar nominations for her parts in Pablo Larrain’s “Jackie” and Mike Nichols’ “Closer.”

Williams, who will also be on hand in Deauville to receive the career tribute, has earned five Oscar nominations, most recently for her role opposite Paul Dano in Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans.” She has also delivered acclaimed performances in “Blue Valentine,” “Wendy and Lucy,” “My Week With Marilyn” and “Manchester by the Sea.”

“From Wim Wenders to Martin Scorsese, from Todd Haynes to Steven Spielberg via Kelly Reichardt, she stands out as one of the most emblematic contemporary actresses with a magnetic gesture, as intense as it is delicate,” stated the Deauville Festival, who also praised Williams for her “admirable artistic freedom.”

Stan, meanwhile, recently delivered a buzzed about performance as a young Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice” which world premiered at Cannes, and also starred in Aaron Schimberg’s “A Different Man.” Deauville Festival praised Stan for his “talent and audacity.”

This year’s Hollywood Rising Star honorees also include Daisy Ridley. The festival previously feted Emilia Clarke, Ana de Armas, Paul Dano, and Robert Pattinson, Ryan Gosling and Jessica Chastain.

Another anticipated highlight of this edition will be the ‘Focus’ on Cannes’ Palme d’Or winner Sean Baker who will present his award-winning movie “Anora,” in addition to four films he directed and have never been released in France, “Four Letter Words,” “Take Out,” “Prince of Broadway” and “Starlet.”

As previously announced, Michael Douglas will be honored at this year’s 50th edition as guest of honor. He will feted on opening night of the festival, on Sept. 6. James Gray will also be celebrated and is set for a masterclass on Sept. 9.

Before joining the Deauville Film Festival, Hesbert worked at Unifrance and most recently headed French film and TV residency program Villa Albertine in Los Angeles. Backed by Chanel, the festival will wrap on Sept. 15.
