34 19th June 2010 master pictures Stern Pissarro specialise in Camille and his descendants continued from page 33
drawings. Last year, they concentrated on works by George Grosz and this year they have an exhibition of Karl Hubbuch and the artists of the Neue Sachlichkeit. These ‘New Objectivity’ or ‘New Realism’ artists transformed the German art scene during the troubled inter-War period with their mentally detached, and often pretty grotesque, depictions of banal everyday subjects. Prominent artists associated with the movement, including George Grosz, Rudolf Schlichter and Hanna Nagel, are all represented in this exhibition of watercolours, pencil and ink drawings, where prices range from £1000 to about £30,000.
For the Old Master drawings purists, the Munich-based specialist Katrin Bellinger puts on a show each year at Colnaghi’s Bond Street premises, where she has been a partner since 2002. This year her line-up of Continental names includes Farinati, Fragonard and Tiepolo, and the drawing by Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574) entitled Susanna Led away to her Death; Daniel Denounces the Elders, which was formerly in the collection of the Dukes of Devonshire for over three centuries before

Pissarro Gallery’s specialty is Camille Pissarro and four generations of his descendants, a niche developed in 1988, when owner David Stern married Lélia Pissarro, great grand-daughter of Camille. Previously in Notting Hill, they have now
moved to St James’s Street and from June 21 to July 9, mount their first show here – Camille Pissarro & his Sons: Works on Paper.
The exhibition will include works by each of his five sons, Lucien, Georges- Manzana, Félix, Ludovic-Rodo and Paulémile, but is built around three works
by Camille Pissarro; a gouache from 1890, a pastel from the late 1880s (a preparatory study for a painting which is now in the Detroit Institute of Art) and a larger-than-average drawing from the 1880s. Also included will be a collection of drawings from a sketchbook used by Camille Pissarro during his visit to Venezuela in the early 1850s and an 1890 watercolour of Regent’s Park in London. The Russian contingent is amply
catered for by Sphinx Fine Art, who are normally based in the midst of prime oligarch real estate territory, in Kensington Church Street. This year, as last, they are participants in both MPWand MDLand, rather than be out on a limb, have hired Frost & Reed’s gallery, in the midst of St James’s in King Street, which is spacious enough to accommodate the shows for both events. Their late 19th and early 20th century Russian drawings include pieces by such favourites as Alexei Harlamoff (1840-1922) and Ilya Repin (1844-1930), and a stage design for Igor Stravinsky’s 1910 ballet, The Firebird, by one of the best known of female Russian avant-garde artists, Natalia Goncharova.
