On a September morning in 1912, French painter Paul Chabas finished the painting
he had been working on for three consecutive summers. Thus completed, it was
aptly titled "Matinee de Septembre" (September Morn). As was typical of his style,
the painting was of young maiden posed nude in a natural setting. This time the icy
morning waters of Lake Annecy in Upper Savoy formed the natural setting and the
maiden was a local peasant girl. The head, however, had been painted from the
sketch of a young American girl, Julie Phillips (later Mrs. Thompson), which he had
made while she and her mother were sitting in a Paris cafe. Apparently, he had
found her profile to be exactly what he was looking for. The completed painting was
then sent off to the Paris Salon of 1912 to be exhibited. Although the painting won
Mr. Chabas the Medal of Honor, it caused no flurry of attention. Hoping to find a
buyer, the artist shipped the painting overseas to an American gallery.
Two articles are found on the following pages. These are followed by many
September Morn collectibles and postcards for sale.
