André Beaucé
The Fairground - 1950's French Expressionist Mid Century Oil Canvas Painting

c.1950

About the Item

A wonderful 1950's French expressionist oil on canvas depicting figures at a fairground, by Parisian artist André Beaucé. Excellent quality work painted with thick impasto brush work. Signed lower left. Artist: André Beaucé (French, 1911-1974) Title: At The Fairground Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 18 x 25.5 inches (46 x 65 cm) André Beaucé was a French painter born on May 23, 1911 in Rennes and died on January 2, 1974 in Paris . A pupil of the School of Fine Arts in Rennes, a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts where he was admitted in 1932, André Beaucé was a pupil in the workshops of André Lhote and Simon, with Yves Brayer . He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1946 and was a regular at the Salon d'Automne. After having lived for several years in Algeria, and in particular at Villa Abd El Tif where he was a scholarship holder from 1946 to 1948, André Beaucé returned to France in 1949 and resumed his teaching at the Schools of Paris. His painting is then powerfully expressionist, free from any system. In the 1950s, we notice vigorous, uncompromising, intense portraits, captured in an almost caricatural way. The tones, always very mounted, are opposed with force in a composition cut with vigor. After the dark years of the war, Beaucé’s art reflects a violent vision of a certain reality that is always brutal and yet magnificent.

  • Fishermen on a River - Mid 20th Century French Naif Landscape Oil Painting
    By André Bouquet
    Located in Sevenoaks, GB
    A beautiful mid 20th century French naif oil on canvas depicting two men fishing on a river by André Bouquet. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters. The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame. Artist: André Bouquet (French, 1897-1987) Title: Fishermen on a River Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 16.5 x 19.5 inches (42 x 50 cm) including the frame André Bouquet was a butcher by trade, who had his stall in open air markets. In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory. He lived only for his painting, which once he stopped working he did every day of the week, including Sundays. He is a sensitive and delicate artist, especially when depicting Parisian suburbs, of which he has caught the atmosphere remarkably. He also painted numerous snow landscapes.

  • Edith Desternes, The Church Notre-Dame de l'Assomption in Auvers-sur-Oise, 1920s
    Located in Saint Amans des cots, FR
    Oil on canvas by Edith Desternes (1901-2000), France, 1920s. The Church Notre-Dame de l'Assomption in Auvers-sur-Oise. This church has been painted in 1890 by Vincent van Gogh. At first glance, one is struck by the strength of this work. Then, on examination, one is captivated by this depth of soul and technique. Edith Desternes uses a thick paint here where black, and dark colors, play a privileged role. Thus the contrast between the warm and cold tones, surrounded by black, create an intense luminosity reminiscent of stained glass windows from the Middle Ages. Georges Rouault is present in this powerful work. With frame : 87x66 cm - 34.25x26 inches ; without frame : 81x60 cm - 31.9x23.6 inches ; 25P Format. Signed "E. Desternes" lower right (see photo). On the back, we notice the pictorial material dropped by the artist, it is not a restoration. The condition is excellent ! Céline Édith Desternes was born in Paris on February 21, 1901. She was the daughter of Louis Desternes (1864-1936), professor at the Lycée...
