About the Item
This elegant wood-engraving charcoal drawing lithograph print was designed by John Buckland-Wright (1897-1954). The piece is signed, dated, titled, and numbered in pencil on the margin. The drawing has a signature inside the scene with a Buckland-Wright monogram on the top right corner.
This superb lithograph print with full margins features a group of nude bathers ("baigneuses" in French) in a luxuriant environment with cubist influence. This work was engraved to appear in the Album de La Gravure Originale Belge, printed by Pichon.
Our impression is numbered "10" from an edition of 65.
This exceptional work shows the artist at his best as a figurative artist. Buckland-Wright was a master wood engraver, and this work exemplifies his mastery.
The lithograph is ornate with a contemporary wood framing complimented with an ivory-color matte and acrylic glass protection.
Measurements:
With frame: 17.50 in wide (44.5 cm) x 20.50 in high (52 cm)
Opening view: 7.69 in wide (19.5 cm) x 10.63 in high (27 cm).
Biography: Buckland Wright was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, on December 3, 1897. He moved to England in 1908.
Buckland Wright studied history at Oxford and then architecture in London. He soon realized he wanted to be an artist more than an architect. By 1921 he was living in Belgium and was elected a member of the Gravure Originale Belge in 1925. During the 1930s, Buckland Wright lived and worked in Paris. He had several single exhibitions in London and throughout the continent.
The "JBW" monogram is the signature commonly found in his work.
Several museums in England held his work: the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. Many galleries and museums in Europe and America also have his works in their collections.
A master printmaker with an assured, swirling line, Buckland Wright passed on his skills after World War II when he taught at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1948 and the Slade School of Fine Art, from 1953, the year that his book Etching and Engraving: Techniques and the Modern Trend was published. He illustrated over 50 books.
Buckland Wright died on September 27, 1954.

Female Nude Study Charcoal and Red Chalk Drawing by Georges Lucien Guyot
By Georges Lucien Guyot
Located in Atlanta, GA
French 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 they give the whole thing a lot of softness and an incredible illusion of movement.
Signed on the bottom left corner: Georges Lucien Guyot.
The artist employed a method known as "sanguine" (red chalk paint) which is red crayon or chalk. The drawing has a blood-red, reddish, or flesh coloration. For centuries, painters from the 15th and 16th centuries, including famous masters like Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci, have used it for drawing.
The drawing has an elaborate off-white matte with acrylic glass protection and a modern wood frame with a deep-textured pattern in red and yellow.
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).
Biography:
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...
