Artist Biography: Alexandre Pavlovitch Chemetoff (aka Chem) (1891 - 1981)
Chem was a tireless all-rounder, illustrator, graphic designer, typographer, art book designer, and painter.
The twists and turns of an adventurous life that embraces the dramas of the 20th century have created fertile ground for this abundance of talent.
Alexander Chemetoff was born in Russia in 1891, in Rostov-on-Don. He studied chemistry in St. Petersburg. In 1917 he was mobilized, and The Bolshevik revolution turmoil caught him.
The civil war prevailed in its whirlwind, and with the remnants of the white army, he left Sevastopol and arrived in Tunisia, where to survive, he used his artistic gifts for drawing.
When he arrived in Paris, he experienced a difficult period, requiring him to work in all areas, from advertising to caricature in the press of Russian exiles, through the illustrations for the albums of Father Castor. During the war, refusing to make a deal with the occupier, he moved to Châteauroux. He will participate in the Resistance, putting his graphic virtuosity to make false papers.
At the Liberation, back in Paris, he is a model maker, creator of beautiful books, and works for movie sets. With no doubt of nostalgia for Russia, he gets closer to communist artists and works on an exhibition on Mayakovsky mounted by Elsa Triolet. Installed in Ardeche (south of France) at the end of his life, he can finally devote himself to painting and a series of surrealist collages, which, according to his son, "exceed in quality, in precision, in invention and humor those of Max Ernst." He died in 1981.

- Female Nude Study Charcoal and Red Chalk Drawing by Georges Lucien GuyotBy Georges Lucien GuyotLocated in Atlanta, GAFrench artist Georges Lucien Guyot (1885 - 1972) signed this charming woman nude study. This painting features a lovely design of a woman getting out of the bath and wiping with a towel. Only a few lines in charcoal and red chalk or sanguine mark the silhouette and posture and capture the model's expression. The red color emphasizes the color of the skin and imbues the lascivious movement. The sketches of the bath towel are only suggested, but it gives the whole thing a lot of softness and an incredible illusion of movement. Signed on the bottom left corner: Georges Lucien Guyot. The artist used a technique named "sanguine," or red chalk or crayon. The drawing has a blood-red, reddish, or flesh coloration. It has been popular for centuries for drawing employed by 15th and 16th Century artists such as the great masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The drawing is ornate with a contemporary wood frame with a red and yellow deep-textured pattern and an off-white matte with acrylic glass protection. Measurements: With Frame: 20.87 in. wide (53 cm) x 28.35 in. high (72 cm) x 1 in. deep (2.5 cm). View alone: 11.44 in. wide (29 cm) x 18.94 in. high (48 cm). About: Georges Lucien Guyot (born December 10, 1885, in Paris, where he died December 31, 1972) is a French artist, sculptor, and painter. From an early age, Georges Guyot showed artistic abilities, but the modest conditions of his parents did not allow him to study art. So he did his apprenticeship with a wood sculptor. Guyot excelled in copying works from the 15th, 16th, and 17th Centuries but rapidly showed an attraction for nature. This attraction led him to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where he could study wild animals and translate his observations into sculptures and paintings. A familiar figure of Montmartre, Georges Guyot was the guest of the Bateau-Lavoir from the time of Cubism. In 1931, he joined the group of Twelve, created by François Pompon and Jane Poupelet...Category
