Jules Tavernier Catalog

(Part 3 of 4)
First San Francisco Period
Monterey Period

 

 

Jules Tavernier

born: Paris, France; 27 April 1844
died: Honolulu, Hawaii; 18 May 1889

 

Tavernier and Frénzeny are on a trip across the US, Part 2 documented this trip.

1873/4
Western Trip
with Paul Frénzeny

Woodcuts from the Western sketching trip for Harper's Weekly are documented separately in Part 2, the Western Trip Catalog

pub: G v17-19 1873-75

The Harper's Weekly pictures were all pencil/pen sketches. Some of them may exist as separate signed or unsigned works of art. If anyone has one we would love to hear about it.

PART 2 concluded

Following are pictures and sketches from the trip
that are attributed only to Tavernier.

1873
watercolor/paper

Clearwater, Kansas

[Watercolor has image similar (but mirrored) to woodcut published in Harper's Weekly v18, 2 May 1874, pp.386,387]

6 October 1873
pencil sketch with ink wash/paper
?×?

[Just for fun: a modern colorized version of this picture is available.]

Main Street from Eagle Block, Wichita.

First referred to by Robert Taft in his article about Frenzeny and Tavernier in the Kansas State Historical Society Quarterly Feb 1946, reprinted as ref J in 1953. He refers to this item as "an original pencil sketch" in the Wichita Public Museum with the date in the upper left corner.

The problem is obvious from the picture that the date is lower left not upper left. This can be explained by V2 of the picture. In which the bottom notation has been truncated and the date moved to the upper left by another hand. If this were to have been done to the original, which is highly probable, then Robert Taft saw this modified version of the picture.

'The Wichita Public Museum' probably refers to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum under a previous name. It is believed by Bob Puckett, director, that they once owned the pencil sketch referred to in last paragraph on p. 102, but was loaned for the publication "Wichita Century: a pictorial history of Wichita, Kansas, 1870-1970," by R.M. "Dick" Long (p. 37), and not returned. They (Wichita-Sedgwick Co. Historical Museum) have a copy (photoreproduction) made before the loan. [Information from Lois Crane, Wichita Art Museum librarian.]

In reality the Wichita-Sedgwick County Museum has four photographs related to this image. This picture on the left is derived from the third of the four, because it appeared the most compete, and was the earliest and cleanest as well. V1 is heavily trimmed, but appears to be a photo of the same original. V2 and V3 are independent photos of the same source; V4 is a photo of a printed copy. V1 has the typed notation: "from the collection of John P. Davidson". [Information from Jami Frazier Tracy, registrar, Wichita-Sedgwick County Museum]

Photos courtesy of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Museum, who were most helpful by scanning and sending all four images for this catalog.

Rocky Mountains

Description: The painting is a landscape with narrative overtones. Through a rugged mountain setting two mule-drawn covered wagons are seen at mid-distance proceeding toward the viewer; they are approaching in the more immediate foreground a log bridge which has quite obviously tumbled and broken - hence the narrative drama. The overall lighting of the scene tends to be dark as the artist seems to have been equally fascinated with atmospheric effests - fog in the valley behind the wagons and a sun, blocked by a carefully placed patch of cloud so that an irregular rim of direct illumination is suggested. The artist's oil technique is moderate and painterly, neither thin nor heavily applied.

Signed and Dated LL:
Jules Tavernier 1876

Provenance: The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center purchased the painting from the Rosenstock Gallery of Western Art in Denver in 1979; according to the file, for most of its history the work belonged to the famous Tabor family of Denver.
The painting conserved in 2003. The painting was removed from its frame, grime and some varnish were removed, losses and abrasions were inpainted and a very slight final varnish was applied. A protective backing was put on the work and the frame was cleaned.

• Sweat House Scene
• Indian Dance
• Dance in a Digger Sweat House
• Indian Sweat House near Clear Lake

Depicts a very large lodge supported by a tremendous tree trunk and covered with rafters, which in turn were covered by earth. Light was thrown into the dark interior from three different sources (a square hole at the top; a descending ramp entrance, and a third unidentified source). Within were 90 to 100 figures, some as high as 24 cm. Sketches of the figures were taken from life. In the center two semi-nude figures danced about the huge tree trunk. Behind the observers were a few white men, among them were Parrott and the Baron de Rothschild.

[Started in May 1876 on a commission from Tiburcio Parrott as a gift for the French Banker Baron de Rothschild (unknown as to which one). It was eventually shipped to Paris without being displayed publically in San Francisco.]
