Suzanne Tourte
The Star Press - Drawing by Suzanne Tourte - 1950s

1950s

About the Item

The star press is an artwork realized by Suzanne Tourte, in 1950s. Original watercolor. 33 x 25 cm. Good conditions, except for some yellowing on paper, due to time. Suzanne Tourte, born December 16, 1904 in Cormontreuil (Marne) and died in Argenteuil on April 18, 1979, was a French painter and lithographer. She moved to Paris in 1924, where she evolved in the artistic and literary world. André Maurois, Hervé Bazin, Paul Guth, Armand Lanoux, Louise de Vilmorin, Robert Mallet, Paul Fort cultivated his friendship and sang his praises. At the beginning of the 20th century when the fundamental concepts of art were called into question, Suzanne Tourte witnessed an unrestrained competition between artists who were looking for new ways of expression: the audacity of Fauvism, the affirmation of Cubism, the birth from abstraction, aggressive expressionism and so many others, then the "return to order" to the Second World War. At the heart of this turmoil, Suzanne Tourte knew how to create her own universe. His early works are frankly figurative. It then evolved towards a so-called "winding" period where the modeling of its characters is outlined in one line. But it was around the 1950s that, her painting reaching the full maturity of her art, she gave the best of herself. This very personal work, the most constructed, corresponds to the so-called geometric period. A so-called “serene” period followed.

  • Au Cimetière Monsieur- Pencil and Watercolor on Paper by F. Picabia - 1931
    By Francis Picabia
    Located in Roma, IT
    Au Cimetière Monsieur... is a black pencil and watercolor drawing realized by Francis Picabia in 1931. Hand signed lower left, with title lower right. A certificate of inclusion in the Catalog Raisonné being prepared by the Picabia Committee, dated 30 October 2019, will be delivered in original along with the work. Drawing originally realized by Picabia to illustrate the important volume "Le Peseur d'Ames" by André Maurois, published by Editions Antoine Roche in 1931. Though specifically realized for the volume, the drawing was not selected for publication and remained in the artist's personal collection. Cm. 27,4x22. Good conditions. Francis Picabia (1879-1953) was born in Paris to a french mother and a Spanish father who was chancellor at the Cuban embassy in Paris. He had a comfortable childhood, even though he was emotionally troubled. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts. At the beginning of his career, from 1908 to 1913, he was strongly influenced first by the Barbizon School and by Alfred Sisley and Camille Pissarro, then by impressionism, cubism and finally abstractionism. Around 1911 he joined the Puteaux Group which he met in the studio of Jacques Villon in the village of Puteaux. He then became friends with the artist Marcel Duchamp. Some members of the group were Apollinaire, Albert Gleizes, Roger de La Fresnaye, Fernand Léger and Jean Metzinger. From 1913 to 1915 Picabia was often in New York. These years can be identified as the proto-Dada period, which consists mostly of the so-called mechanical portraits (portraits méchaniques): these works ironically proposed mechanistic themes of random tangles of metal parts, paintings and drawings of machines. All these mechanisms on the one hand mocked the cult of the machine, on the other they alluded to sexual intercourse...
