Mid-20th Century

About the Item

Sympathy is a watercolor on paper realized by Pierre Laurent Brenot (1913-1998). Good conditions, aged. Included the Passepartout: 32 x 24. There is the lithograph of the same artwork included: 18.4 x 14. Here the artwork represents a couple sitting together in a candlelight. The artwork is depicted skillfully through confident and soft strokes in a well-balanced composition and harmonious colors. Pierre-Laurent Brenot (1913-1998) In 1928, he entered the École Estienne where he attended classes for three years. Then he continued his training as a designer with Fernand Hertenberger. Pierre-Laurent Brenot's gifts of observation and precision in his pencil stroke were immediately noticed.During the fashion years (from 1936 to 1950),he was hired by Monsieur Chatard, a great tailor for men and women, in his Fashionable store, at number 16 boulevard Montmartre. He then created a line of men's suits. On his momentum, he produced numerous fashion designs for other great couturiers (Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Nina Ricci, Jeanne Lafaurie ...) as well as for the Lanvin and Rochas houses, or for milliners (Maude and Mano, Legroux, Paulette). From 1944, he began a career as a poster artist and illustrator. However, with the rise of photography in the sixties, this activity was reduced. Pierre-Laurent Brenot then reoriented himself towards his initial vocation as an artist-painter.

  • Clifford Ellis Corsham Court Hens Chicken Shed c. 1950 mid century watercolour
    By Clifford Ellis
    Located in London, GB
    We acquired a series of paintings and posters from Clifford and Rosemary Ellis's studio. To find more scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Clifford Ellis (1907-1985) Hens by a chicken shed at Corsham Court Watercolour 37x56cm Provenance: the family of the artist, by descent. Here Ellis paints the hens at Corsham Court together with their chicken shed. Born in Bognor in Sussex and trained at St Martin’s School of Art and Regent Street Polytechnic, Ellis was a graphic artist and illustrator who is best known for the posters he produced for London Transport during the 1930s. He generally collaborated with his wife Rosemary – whom he married in 1931 – on their posters. The General Post Office, Shell, and The Empire Marketing Board were also clients for their posters. They signed their posters C&RE, their initials being in alphabetical order and they are readily recognisable by their ebullient use of colour and form. Employed during the war as a camoufleur, along with so many other artists, Clifford was also an official war artist, serving with the Grenadier Guards. Rosemary, meanwhile, was an artist for the Recording Britain project. Following the war they trained art teachers at Bath Academy of Art. They also designed a series of nearly one hundred book jackets for Collins New Naturalist series, published between 1945 and 1982. Clifford Ellis studied illustration at the Regent Street Polytechnic, an institution that specialised in ’practical trade classes’, from 1924-27. He went on to design book covers (notably for Collins’ ‘New Naturalist’ series) and posters for London Transport, the General Post Office, Shell-Mex, the Empire Marketing Board and J. Lyons & Co., along with his wife, Rosemary Ellis, whom he married in 1931 while he was teaching at the Polytechnic. The couple’s poster designs combine striking colour with bold typography and depict stylised scenes of the countryside, birds and animals. In the 1930s London Transport commissioned over forty posters a year from well-known artists such as Laura Knight, CRW Nevinson...
