“Au Lapin Agile Cabaret” Colorful Pastel Toned Watercolor Townscape

1990s

About the Item

Colorful pastel toned watercolor landscape depicting the historic Au Lapin Agile Cabaret in Montmartre, Paris. Located in the Montmartre area of Paris the Lapin Agile cabaret has been in existence for almost 150 years and this little pastel coloured house located at the corner of Rue Saint Vincent and Rue des Saules has a very rich and famous history, but is still going strong today for future generations to enjoy. It was on the northern slope of the Butte Montmartre on a cobbled street, that this enchanted house became a place for sing-alongs and folk songs in around the year 1850, and in 1875 a painter and caricaturist called Andre Gill painted a sign that had a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan. In French this painting was called Le Lapin a Gill and so the name soon became changed slightly to the Lapin Agile and then the full name of Cabaret Au Lapin Agile, which is still the same name this cabaret in Paris has today. Picasso has a painting named after this famous landmark. Signed "Robert" by the artist (possibly Robert Le Berger). Matted and framed in a carved brass frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 17.13 in. x W 10 in.

  • Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
    By Alexander Calder
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”. Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
