About the Item
Charles Despiau (French, 1874 - 1946), "Female Nude", Figurative/Nude Red Chalk Drawing signed on Paper, 15 x 10.75, Early 20th Century
Colors: Red Chalk
Charles Despiau, who was born in Mont-de-Marsan on the fourth of September 1874, issued from a family of plasterers. In 1891, at the age of seventeen, he settled in Paris to study at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and take a stone-cutting apprenticeship. Three years later, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. At that time, he admired Rodin’s work but wasn’t influenced by it however.
From 1898, he was a regular participant in the Salon des Artistes Français, where he exhibited figures and busts, but he quit it in order to join the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, which he found younger in spirit. The works he showed drew the attention of Claude Roger-Marx, an art critic, and of Georges Werner, a friend of Rodin who was also an important member of the Beaux-Arts ministry. In 1901, Despiau joined in the group of independent sculptors and became a member of the “bande à Schnegg”. In 1907, Rodin, who had seen many of his works and was confident with his talent, employed him in his studio.
Despiau was drafted into the army from 1914 to 1919. In the years that followed the war, he endured severe financial problems but managed to regain a steady income, thanks to his friends André Derain, Maurice Wlaminck and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. At that time, Despiau worked under contract for the Barbazanges Gallery. Paulette’s Bust (1907), The Faun (1912), the Mont-de-Marsan war memorial (1920-1922), Eve (1925) and Assia (1937) were the major works he achieved throughout his career. His growing fame won him upper class clients who commissioned him numerous busts, including the portraits of Mrs Boisdeffre (1920), Mrs Zunz (1921), Miss Marie-Zéline Faure, also called Zizou (1924)…
In 1923, he took a part in the founding of the Salon des Tuileries, along with Bourdelle, Maillol and some of the members of the “bande à Schnegg”. He also joined in the Salon d’Automne exhibition, and started teaching at the Grande Chaumière. In 1927, the Brummer Gallery in New York hosted his first personal exhibition abroad, and he was appointed teacher at the Scandinavian Academy. His works then travelled from Brussels to Chicago, The Hague or London. In 1937, the Petit Palais held an exhibition entitled Masters of Independent art, which included fifty-two sculptures by Despiau. A Despiau-Wlérick Museum was founded in Mont-de-Marsan in 1968.

Study of a Fate at mid-body, a red chalk attributed to Giovanni da San Giovanni
Located in PARIS, FR
This spectacular red chalk drawing depicts an elderly woman, her eyes bulging, her hand stretched out towards the sky. This disturbing character, who seems close to dementia, and the elongation of her arm with its Mannerist overtones, plunge us into the Florentine artistic milieu of the first half of the 17th century. The proximity of this drawing to some characters in the fresco in the Pitti Palace representing The Muses, Poets and Philosophers chased from Parnassus, the last masterpiece of Giovanni da San Giovanni, leads us to propose an attribution to this artist and a dating of around 1635-1636.
1. Giovanni da San Giovanni, the painter of contradiction
We take here the title of the monography dedicated to the artist by Anna Banti in 1977, which remains the reference book for this artist. The son of a notary, Giovanni Mannozzi, known as Giovanni da San Giovanni, abandoned his studies to go to Florence at the age of sixteen, where he entered the studio of Matteo Rosselli (1578 - 1650) around 1609 and enrolled in the Academy of Drawing Arts in 1612. Around 1615 he produced his first known works, mainly frescoes for the city's tabernacles. He became famous in Florence for his originality, combining an obsessive application to the study of drawing and the reading of poetry and history with a disheveled appearance. Between 1619 and 1620 he decorated the facade of the Antella Palace in Piazza Santa Croce, a decoration that still partly survives today.
The death of Cosimo II in 1621 put an end to the Florentine building activity and Giovanni da San Giovanni left for Rome to find other sponsors with the painter Francesco Furini...
