Adolphe Willette
Study with three Angels - Drawing by A. Willette - End of 19th Century

End of 1th Century

About the Item

Study with three Angels is a gorgeous pastel drawing realized by Adolphe Léon Willette, a French illustrator, painter, caricaturist, lithographer, and architect. The state of preservation is very good. The paper is applied on a cardboard measuring 22.8 x 14.3 cm. It represents a figure in three quarters, half naked, with different afterthoughts on the position of the legs, whilst playing a lyre. Above, three puttos throw flowers. The artist Adolphe Léon Willette, with his irreverent art, though elegant and floriated in the style, illustrated the spirit of the Bohemia of the crazy Montmartre in the turn of the 20th century. He realized, for instance, the interior decoration and the sign of the legendary Cabaret du Chat Noir, as well as the aspect of the famous Moulin Rouge. The drawing is beautiful in the strokes and in the movement, realized by an important artist, in the typical taste of Paris of the fin de siecle.

Study for Crucifix - Original Drawing by A. Willette - End of 19th Century
Located in Roma, IT
Study for Crucifix is a splendid drawing in pastel realized by Adolphe Léon Willette, a French illustrator, painter, caricaturist, lithographer, and architect. The state of preservation is very good. The paper presents some fringes on the left margin. On the lower left, in pencil, there is the inscription, probably not coeval, “Willette”. The drawing represents an unusual iconography, in which the crucified Christ has his right hand nailed to the cross whilst his left hand is free, caressing the head of a female figure wearing a veil, presumably the Virgin Mary. The artist Adolphe Léon Willette, with his irreverent art...

Joyce Wieland "Marie Antoinette"
By Joyce Wieland
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Joyce Wieland (1931-1998) is one of the most accomplished and versatile Canadian artists. She achieved a level of commercial and critical success in her lifetime that was exceptional for a woman during an era in a male-dominated field. Notably, she was the first female artist to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery (Ottawa) in 1971 and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) in 1987. Although Wieland was an artist who was always drawing, she launched her career as a painter. Always experimenting, her art practice expanded to incorporate a range of media and materials, from textile works to film. In New York City, she was best known as an experimental filmmaker. In the mid 1960s Wieland began to embrace more representational and narrative elements in her work. Inspired by comic books, and her background in film as an animator, Wieland embraced figuration albeit clearly influenced by Pop Art. One of the reoccurring motifs in Wieland's oeuvre is playing with and subverting icons of femininity. In this work Wieland presents icons inspired by the French Queen Marie-Antoinette: a jewelry or hat box, a hairbrush, a medallion. The artist seems to be willing to give a make-over to the Queen. In the "nice medallion painting...
