⊕ VERA ROCKLINE (1896-1934) Kiki de Montparnasse: Reclining Nude with Red Necklace oil on canvas 46 x 59 cm Vera Rockline was an important woman artist who lived in Paris in the early 20th century. Along with artists such as Tamara de Lempicka and Sonia Delaunay, Rockline contributed to the École de Paris group, a community of French and international artists living in Paris in the early decades of the twentieth century. Her life was short - Rockline died at the age of thirty-seven - and she achieved significant critical success, exhibiting her paintings at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Tuileries. She had several solo exhibitions in Paris galleries. Initially, she was known for her landscapes and portraits in a cubo-futurist style. In the 1920s, Rockline began to concentrate on female nudes as one of her main subjects, fusing the light and pastel hues of Neo-Impressionism with thick brushstrokes and perspectives influenced by Cubism. Raymond Escholier (1882-1971), journalist, writer, art critic and curator of the Musée du Petit Palais, described Rokhline's series of nudes as a "symphony of the flesh". Born in Moscow in 1897 to a Russian father and a French mother, Rockline, née Schlezinger, moved to Kiev to become Aleksandra Exter's apprentice. Before that, she had studied in the studio of the neo-impressionist Ilya Mashkov. In 1918-1919, still under the name Schlesinger, she took part in exhibitions of Jewish art in Moscow. After spending two years in Tbilisi, Rockline and her husband emigrated to France in 1921. ⊕ This lot is under the temporary import regime and is subject to import tax (5.5%) (EU) and the customs agent's administrative fee. ⊕ VERA ROCKLINE (1896-1934) Kiki de Montparnasse: Reclining Nude with Red Necklace oil on canvas 46 x 59 cm Vera Rockline was an important female artist who lived in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.
