Impressionists Weak in New York

The January 19th sale of impressionist and modern art at Sotheby's New York is unfortunately dominated by the tacky, derivative works of Jean Dufy, but a few of them, not in the style of Raoul Dufy, show Jean as a quietly talented painter. The sale as a whole is downmarket and downpriced. Pretty French pictures by the likes of Camoin, Gleizes, Lebasue, Loiseau, Luce, Montezin, Sidaner and Valtat are on offer. There are two fine busts by Jacob Epstein and a nice little pen drawing by Toulouse-Lautrec and a bronze hand by Rodin. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
