Bernard Karfiol New York, New Jersey / Hungary, (1886 - 1952) Portrait of a Woman in Red Blouse oil on canvas signed lower left. Biography from the Archives of askART: Painter Bernard Karfiol grew up in Brooklyn and Long Island, New York, an American who was born in 1886 in Budapest, Hungary. He attended the National Academy of Design, New York City, when he was only fourteen. He traveled by himself to Paris at the tender age of fifteen to study at the Academie Julien with Jean-Paul Laurens, and the Ecole de Beaux-Arts. He exhibited at the Grand Salon and the Salon d'Automne. In Paris, Karfiol was influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne and Pierre Auguste Renoir. Karfiol was also attracted to the painting of Andre Derain. Karfiol returned to the United States in 1906. In 1913, he participated in the famous New York City Armory show, on Lexington Avenue, where European modernism was introduced to the American public for the first time en masse, along with American artists well-known at the time. Karfiol painted nudes and still lifes in the manner of Picasso's pink and blue periods. By the late 1920s, Karfiol's style had moved toward Renoir. Karfiol, an author and teacher, as well as a painter, spent his summers in Ogunquit, Maine from 1914 until his death at Irvington-on-Hudson, New York in 1952. He was a member of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Art. His work is in the Addison Gallery, Andover, Massachusetts; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Detroit Institute of Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; Newark Museum, New Jersey; the Phillips Collection and National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

Bernard Karfiol is best known for his simple gestural drawings, as well as striking portraits and nudes. Raised and educated in New York, Karfiol was inspired by the landscapes of Maine, environments that informed his scenery and early landscape paintings. Heavily influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, Karfiols early work was characterized by tenderness toward his subjects, sensuous forms, and a soft palette of muted pinks, oranges, and blues. His travels in Cuba, Mexico, and Jamaica in the mid-1930s inspired stronger, more intense colors and new

BERNARD KARFIOL Landscape with Marie and Cows.
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
BERNARD KARFIOL Landscape with Marie and Cows. Oil on canvas, 1928. 712x914 mm; 28 1/4x36 inches. Signed in oil, lower left recto. Original Husar Picture Frame Co., Chicago, gilt wood frame, marked "H.P.F.CO." with an ink stamp. Ex-collection George H. Davis, New York; private collection, Pennsylvania. Published Slusser, Bernard Karfiol, New York, 1931, number 26; Rothe, Current Biography, New York, 1947, page 343. Karfiol (1886-1952) spent his childhood in Brooklyn and studied at the Pratt Institute and the National Academy of Design in New York. At the precocious age of 15, he continued his training at the Académie Julian in Paris. During his studies, Karfiol came into contact with the Parisian avant-garde movements such as Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. He attended Gertrude Stein's (1874-1946) gatherings, where he met Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) and Henri Matisse (1869-1954). This exposure to European modernism guided Karfiol's style of alternating intense spontaneity and expressive tenderness. He exhibited at the Parisian salons in 1904 and 1905 before returning to New York. Karfiol supplemented his artistic career as an art instructor. He exhibited nine works at the landmark Armory Show in 1913, known as a watershed exhibition for American Modernism. Karfiol seemed to treat his nude subjects as Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) or Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) would; as exotic odalisques and virginal Aphrodites. Slusser notes, 'They carry with them the suggestion of grander horizons and more southern airs.' Like both artists, Karfiol used swathes of color to flatten his perspective, fusing the foreground and background. Though Karfiol lived and worked in New York and Ridgefield, New Jersey, Landscape with Marie and Cows is likely from Karfiol's summers in Ongunquit, Maine. Karfiol had summered in Maine annually as early as 1914 at the bequest of patron Hamilton Easter Field, yet he painted these scenes with emotional vigor and a rich lushness of fresh color throughout his career.
