JOHN YOUNG JOHNSTONE, A.R.C.A.CHÂTEAU DES COMTES, GHENToil on canvassigned 10.25 ins x 13.75 ins; 26 cms x 34.9 cms Provenance:Private Collection, MontrealExhibited:John Y. Johnstone (1887-1930) Retrospective Exhibition, September 2006, Walter Klinkhoff Gallery, Montreal, no. 1.Literature:A.K. Prakash, “Misplaced Painter Among Moderns,” John Young Johnstone Restrospective Exhibition (catalogue), Walter Klinkhoff Gallery, Montreal, 2005, pages 2-7.Note:A.K. Prakash refers to a certain stoicism that can be appreciated in Johnstone’s painting, and aptly refers to “a preternatural stillness” or mystery so well exemplified in a work such as this lot. Johnstone, who at times lived a somewhat dissipated life, embodied a silver screen version of the peripatetic artist. Born in Montreal, he travelled throughout Quebec as well as northern Europe and died in Havana in 1930.Estimate: $8,000–12,000

Est: $7,000 - $9,000
JOHN YOUNG JOHNSTONE, A.R.C.A.PARIS, 1914oil on panelsigned and dated ‘14 8.75 ins x 7.25 ins; 22.2 cms x 18.4 cms Provenance:Galerie Walter Klinkhoff Inc., MontrealPrivate Collection, FloridaLiterature:Hugh Scholfield, “La Belle Epoque: Paris 1914,” BBC News, Paris (7 January 2014), bbc.com.Note:Johnstone vacillated between wanting to be appreciated and wanting to be left alone. As such there is a paucity of information published about him given his obvious talent. In this delightful painting, Johnstone has chosen to observe the world from afar, keeping a safe distance from the quayside action. In 1914, Paris was nearing the end of the Belle Epoque and was as Scholfield put it: ”a city giddy with the pace of industrial, scientific and cultural change...”Estimate: $7,000–9,000

JOHN YOUNG JOHNSTONE, A.R.C.A.LIGHTHOUSE WITH MOORED BOATSoil on panelsigned 5 ins x 7 ins; 12.7 cms x 12.7 cms Provenance:Private Collection, TorontoLiterature:A.K. Prakash, John Young Johnstone (1887-1930): Retrospective Exhibition (catalogue), Galerie Walter Klinkhoff, Montreal, 2005, page 2.Note:A lighthouse with moored boats is a typical choice of subject for an Impressionist painter, yet John Young Johnstone infuses this work with unexpected suspense not so typical of his confrères. As A.K. Prakash observes, Johnstone “Instinctively was now rendering not a fleeting moment like the Impressionists, but an immeasurable duration that emphasizes the suspension of time.”

JOHN YOUNG JOHNSTONE, A.R.C.A.QUEBEC FARMHOUSEoil on panel, mounted to boardsigned and dated 1915 5.5 ins x 7.25 ins; 14 cms x 18.4 cms Provenance:Estate of a Private Collector, Illinois, U.S.A.Literature:A.K. Prakash, John Young Johnstone (1887-1930): Retrospective Exhibition (catalogue), Galerie Walter Klinkhoff, 2005, pages 2, 3, and 5.Note:According to A.K. Prakash, John Young Johnstone’s early work (1911-1915) “shows a delicacy of perception indicating that like most foreigners of his generation who trained in Paris, Johnstone studied not only the original Impressionists, but also the followers. For instance, the work of Suzor-Coté was surely influential in his treatment of perspective.”Working on little panels, mirroring the practice of J.W. Morrice, Johnstone accentuated the intimacy of the settings he depicted.
