Biographical notes on the artist:
Gustave Guetant.
Originally from a Marseille family whose father Louis was a relief artist, Gustave Guétant was initially attracted to drawing and wanted to become a painter.
From 1893 he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Marseille.
In 1896 he became his city's retired artist after winning the sculpture competition.
From 1896 to 1900 he was a student at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris.
He has exhibited regularly since 1903 at the Salon des artistes français, of which he is a member. Sensitive to the artistic development brought about by the Nancy School, whose leading representatives he attended, as well as to the evolution of the Decorative Arts, he became a member of the jury in 1913 and remained so throughout his life.
He was also a member of the Society of Aquarellists, where he exhibited in 1908. In 1909, the artist recognized by his peers became an officer of the academy.
He illustrates many books.
His patiently acquired knowledge from observing animals, his deep admiration for living, secret beings-he attributes specific feelings and sensations to them beyond their sophisticated instincts-his intense discussions with like-minded artists generate the drawings and sculptures of his maturity. Guétant's fluid or animal art is the exact opposite of the caricatured illustration or shocking or provocative expressionism that characterizes the pencils of war propaganda.

- The King's CamelopardLocated in Amsterdam, NLCharles Frederick de Brocktorff (1775–1850) ‘Camelopard – a present from the Pacha of Egypt to the King – at Malta on its way to England’ Signed and dated C.F. de Brocktorff. / 1827. lower right, inscribed as titled in the painted margins lower centre. Pencil and watercolour heightened with gold paint and gum arabic on paper, 36.8 x 27.9 cm A gift so majestic, it made kings blush, and a gift so grand, it would startle Europe into a craze. Pasha Muhammad Ali of Egypt (1805-1848) did it in 1827: he sent to Europe three magical spotted, horned creatures, each with a neck reaching the skies and legs as long as a house is high. One giraffe to King Charles X of France, one to Francis I of Austria and the most fabled one to King George IV of England. A curious sight for Europeans, who had not seen such a beast since the Medici giraffe in 1487. Few animals created more of a stir in Europe than these royal...Category
