About the Item

'The Racing Horses', gouache on art paper (circa 1970s), by Pierre Gaillardot. France has produced some of the world’s greatest horses and riders, with an equestrian tradition that dates back through the centuries. Today there are nearly two million riders in France. With this tradition and level of engagement, French equestrian subjects are prominently depicted in their art. Pierre Gaillardot lived in Deauville, home of a major harness racing track where he was inspired to paint the world of competition horses. In this artwork, the artist portrays jockeys on their horses parading before a race. The always colourful sport lends itself well to depictions by artists who clearly are passionate followers. The artwork is in good overall condition and is newly framed and glazed with anti-reflective glass. It is signed in the lower right hand corner: 'Pierre Gaillardot'. Upon request a video of the artwork may be provided. About the Artist: Pierre Gaillardot (1910-2002), French painter from the new school of Paris whose origins were from the Burgundy region. He mostly depicted scenes of vineyards and winemakers as well as horse races, as he later lived and worked in Deauville. Employing a rather expressionist style, his depictions of horses and their riders perfectly capture the swift movement and the beauty of the sport. In 1966 Gaillardot was awarded the ‘Prix Pierre Puvis de Chavannes' upon the recommendation of the Committee of the ‘Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts’ and the City of Paris. A retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the ‘Musée d’Art Moderne’ in Paris in 1967. His works appear for sale at the major international auction houses and reside in collections around the world.

Horses at the Edge of the Pond
By Yves Brayer
Located in London, GB
'Horses at the Edge of the Pond', pencil, ink and watercolour on art paper, by Yves Brayer (1980). Brayer loved the Camargue region of France and painted it widely. The Camargue is a vast, swampy delta near Arles, very exotic, with tall marsh grasses where pink flamingos, black bulls and white horses roam freely. This image depicts three horses in the Camargue near pond's edge. Although there are many horses that still run free in the area, there are cowboys — called gardians — who ride the white horses on the beaches...
