About the Item

Maurice Mendjizky, was born on July 20th 1890 a Lodz in Polonie and died on may 8th in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (Alpes-Maritimes, France).
A museum is tributed to him, the Mendjisky - Ecole de Paris museum, in Paris.
He lived in St. Paul de Vence and good friend with Renoir, Signac, Modigliani and Picasso
Au départ passionné de musique, il part dès son plus jeune âge à Berlin étudier dans une école de composition. Mais, excellent dessinateur, il s’intéresse finalement à la peinture et part pour Paris. Entre 1906 et 1907, il fait un rapide passage dans l'atelier de Fernand Cormon à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris.
Il quitte vite l'atelier pour une vie plus libre où il travaille beaucoup et se fait rapidement remarquer par les grands marchands de l’époque. Il expose chez Georges Petit en 1912. La préface du catalogue est d’André Salmon. Ces mêmes années, il fait la connaissance de Léopold Zborowski, un des grands marchands d'art de l'époque et devient l’ami de Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir.
En effet, c'est en 1913 qu'il rencontre Renoir. Ce dernier l’invite régulièrement chez lui aux Collettes, à Cagnes-sur-Mer. Enthousiasmé par la lumière et l’atmosphère de la Côte d’Azur, Maurice Mendjizky incite ses camarades, Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine, Léonard Foujita à le rejoindre. Après un séjour en Pologne et Russie, il revient à Paris et rencontre la Alice Prin qui deviendra plus tard le modèle Kiki de Montparnasse. Amoureux, ils vivent en couple pendant trois ans jusqu'en 1922.
En 1921, il participe à la première exposition organisée au café du Parnasse par Auguste Clergé et Serge Romoff. Mais après sa rupture avec Kiki, il quitte Paris pour le Sud et se réfugier dans le travail. Il s’installe à Saint-Paul-de-Vence où il rencontre sa future épouse Rose, dont il aura deux fils : Claude né en 1924, mort assassiné par les nazis quatorze jours avant la libération, et Serge, né en 1929, plus jeune résistant de France. Cette même année, Léon Zamaron, commissaire de police et grand amateur d'art, s'engage à lui acheter 50 % de sa production. Après plusieurs expositions à la galerie Georges Petit à Paris, Maximilien Gauthier lui organise une exposition à la galerie Kleiman en 1933.
Peintre révolté par la montée du fascisme, il fonde avec Paul Signac, Paul Langevin et Frédéric Joliot-Curie, le Mouvement des Intellectuels pour la Paix. Engagée dans la résistance, la famille Mendjizky sort meurtrie des années de guerre : sa femme est arrêtée en 1942, son fils aîné exécuté, toute sa famille exterminée en Pologne.
Inconsolable, malade, il consacrera les dernières années de sa vie à peindre et dessiner la résistance héroïque des habitants du ghetto de Varsovie. Entre 1947 et 1951, il s'engage avec ferveur dans la création de son recueil de dessins. 31 dessins seront publiés par ses soins avec en introduction un poème de Paul Éluard. Picasso, après avoir vu les dessins du Ghetto de Varsovie dira : « C'est un chef d’œuvre, c'est une véritable symphonie de noir et de blanc »[réf. nécessaire].
Atteint d'un cancer, il meurt à Saint-Paul-de-Vence en 1951.

Provenance: Deaccession of Hearst Art Gallery, St. Mary's College, Moraga, California Carl Barth was a German visual artist who was born in 1896. Carl Barth has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Galerie Remmert und Barth. Many works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Mythos' sold at Ketterer Kunst Munich 'Old Masters & Modern Art/ Marine Art ' in 2003. There have been many articles about Carl Barth, including 'Getty Brings Together Over 40 Drawings Selected Solo Exhibitions 2017 Carl Barth: Works 1920 - 1970, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Selected Group Exhibitions 2016 Overview 2016, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2014 Überblick 2014, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf Watercolors: Emil Nolde to Otto Dix and Beyond, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf 2011 Spirit of an Age: Drawings from the Germanic World, 1770–1900, J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, USA, Los Angeles Overview 2011, Galerie Remmert und Barth, Germany, Düsseldorf which included artists August Macke,Carl Barth, Conrad Felixmuller, George Grosz,Hannah Hoch, Oskar kokoschka and others CARL BARTH 1896 to 1976 The Rhine painter CARL BARTH has created a work rich in developmental stages that stretches from the 20s to the 70s of the last century. After late-Expressionist beginnings in the 20s, he created in the early 30s, probably the most-respected part of his work, those strictly built, color-sparing tempera images that are the New Objectivity and the Magic Realism assigned, Barth's paintings of the early 1930s seem to express the loneliness of man in the face of a colder and more threatening social situation. The constructivist rigor of these works is transformed in the American paintings of 1936 into a more painterly style with a richer modeling of the subject matter, without abandoning the theme: the images reflect the loneliness and emptiness of the not only American "way of life" - they became repeatedly compared to works by Edward Hopper. Select Exhibitions: 1925 First exhibition of watercolors and printmaking in Munich. Return to the Rhineland. Initially own studio in his parents' house in Haan.
