José María Sert (1874-1945)

'Vision de Naples'

Catalogue Note:

José Maria Sert (1874-1945), the "Tiepolo of the Ritz", is part of the closed circle of the great society artists of the 20th century. He married the famous Misia Godebska whom Forain introduced to him, better known as Misia Sert, a central figure in artistic and literary Paris at the end of the 19th century and between the wars. Muse successively of Mallarmé, Vuillard, Renoir, Proust, Diaghilev and Cocteau, Misia was also the confidante of Gabrielle Chanel for whom Sert created this screen.

Undermined by the Parisian avant-garde, he is part of a primarily decorative painting tradition influenced by Goya, Manet and of course Tiepolo. In his studio in the rue Barbet de Jouy, Sert created a grandiose decor in the image of his painting, mixing baroque furniture, gilded bronzes, crystals and Coromandel screens. Gabrielle Chanel retained this lesson in decoration and applied it in all her Parisian residences thereafter, as her apartment on rue Cambon still testifies. Sert held a salon there where he received the entire Café Society of the time, who commissioned him for multiple projects. Specializing in very large wall decorations and screens, he went from polychrome painting to monochrome painting on a gold background, which better suited his exuberant style. He received important commissions at the turn of the century throughout Europe and more particularly in England (between 1914 and 1915 for Lady Ripon at Combe Court and Sir Philip Sassoon at Lympe and between 1918 and 1919 for Sir Saxton Noble at Wretham Hall). He received his first commission in the United States in 1924 for Mr. Joshua Cosden's music room in Palm Beach. An exhibition in New York at the Wildenstein Galleries completed his launch across the Atlantic. He then undertook grandiose projects such as an entire room at the Waldorf Astoria in New York in 1930, and the entrance main building of Rockefeller Center, built in 1933.

"Art loses the last representative of great painting", wrote Paul Claudel in Le Figaro on 14 December 1945, on the death of his friend José María Sert. The monumentality of his work and the power of his personality made Sert an artist unanimously admired in his time.

Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers. They are too lovely. I am rushing off to Paris in a few minutes to attend the Glace de l'Union tonight & then will return tomorrow evening just in time for a Girl Scout Kermesse—My week-end is rather entangled & hectic & I am afraid that we won't be free during the short time that you are here to get together—I hope you have a wonderful time & that your new life will fill all your desires."

The Murder of Katherine Devine

Katherine Merry Devine, Kathy to friends, was a 14-year-old schoolgirl. Described as soft-hearted and poetic she lived in Seattle with her family.

On 25th November 1973, Katherine was last seen hitchhiking by friends in Seattle, she had just broken up with her boyfriend and wanted to visit relatives in a neighbouring city. Her family realised she was missing but reported her as a runaway.

Katherine's sister, Sherrie, was watching television weeks after her younger sister disappeared and saw a body had been found in a campground. Sherrie recognised the clothing as Katherine's and the body was able to be identified.

Katherine's throat had been slashed and she was laying face down, her underwear had been ripped and cut open and she had been subjected to a violent assault.

For years the case remained unsolved and it was heavily speculated that Katherine had been a victim of serial killer Ted Bundy despite Bundy's denial. 28 years after Katherine went missing the case took a surprising twist- authorities revealed DNA testing had identified 55-year-old William E Cosden Jr as Katherine's killer. Cosden was already in prison for rape and had a history of sexual violence.

Further evidence revealed that Cosden had been seen with what looked like bloodstains on his shirt in the early hours of 26th November at a truck stop frequented by young hitchhikers. Cosden had been a suspect for a long time but finally, the DNA evidence was strong enough for a conviction- he was charged and found guilty of Katherine's murder.

Remembering 100 Years of Zsa Zsa Gabor

The one and only: Zsa Zsa Gabor

This February would have marked the 100th birthday of Princess Sari Gabor Belge Hilton Sanders Hunter Cosden Ryan O’Hara de Alba von Anhalt, Duchess of Saxony (better known as Zsa Zsa Gabor), who died last December as one of the last victims of 2016.  In a year we lost such beloved icons as David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, Carrie Fisher and Sartle favorite Marisol Escobar, it was easy for Zsa Zsa to get lost in the headlines.  Nonetheless, her passing truly marked the end of an era.  Zsa Zsa will always have a special place in the Sartle hall of fame as Jane Avril in the original Moulin Rouge (1952), which also featured Jose Ferrer as Toulouse-Lautrec, and the late Christopher Lee as Georges Seurat.

Jane Avril (1899 Poster) by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, in the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum (left).  Zsa Zsa Gabor as Jane Avril (right).

Zsa Zsa worked with John Huston and Orson Welles, but the star of such gems as Queen of Outer Space was above all famous for being famous.  The Gabors were pioneers of celebrity bad behavior, making the Kardashians look like Donny and Marie Osmond.  Between the four of them, the Gabor women married 23 times, and Zsa Zsa was responsible for nearly half of those with her total of nine.  They even shared men.  Zsa Zsa and her sister Magda both married the same man, actor George Sanders, but in their defense, when you get up to double digits it’s hard to keep track.  Zsa Zsa also banged both Conrad Hilton and his son Nicky, who later married Elizabeth Taylor.

The notorious Gabor women: Matriarch Jolie Gabor (bottom-center); sisters Magda (left), Zsa Zsa (center), and Ava (right).  Give up Kardashians, you ain’t got nothin’ on these girls.

Zsa Zsa’s most enduring role was undoubtedly as herself, in the epic 1989 trial of Zsa Zsa Gabor.  Arrested for assaulting a cop in Beverly Hills, Zsa Zsa maintained that the cop had assaulted her.  The #HungarianSocialiteLivesMatter movement never caught on, but in a weird way Zsa Zsa’s glamorous brand of resistance to police brutality did strike a chord with a pre-Rodney King generation.  And while it would be a bit of a stretch to make the case that a woman who once said, “I’d rather be hit by a gorgeous man than an ugly one,” was a feminist icon, she did speak to an Anita Hill era of women fed-up with abusive male authority figures.

Zsa Zsa’s mugshot.

If nothing else, Zsa Zsa taught us at least three valuable lessons; you can never have too many husbands, too many diamonds…and how to roll off a one-liner like a boss.  Despite her airheaded blonde image, she proved herself a veritable a Dalai Lama of boudoir philosophy.  In honor of a life fabulously lived, and perhaps the most underrated wit of the 20th Century, we’ve compiled the best of Zsa Zsa quotes with some of our favorite art.

Portrait of a Woman by Nicolas de Largilliere.

Into the World There Came a Soul Called Ida by Ivan Le Lorraine Albright, in the Art Institute of Chicago.

Turkish Bath by Sylvia Sleigh, in the Smart Museum of Art.

Chair by Allen Jones, in the Tate Modern.

Kitty Fisher as Cleopatra Dissolving the Pearl (no, it’s a diamond…alternative fact!), by Joshua Reynolds, in Kenwood House.

Stay tuned for more wisdom from the legendary Zsa Zsa Gabor!
