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
