About the Item

Late 20th Century French drawing on Canson paper by Gilbert Pastor. Signed bottom right. Acquired directly from the artist. Born in Marseille, Gilbert Pastor settled in Aups, the southern gateway to the Gorges du Verdon. Discreet, self-taught artist, drawing and painting since adolescence, he met in 1948 the Russian painter and poet Boris Bojnev who would become his mentor. With him he enters "into the religion of painting". In 1975, he met the Lyon gallery owner Paul Gauzit, who became his friend and with whom he exhibited regularly. The number of works by Gilbert Pastor is estimated at around 800 canvases and 1,500 drawings, but he never dated or titled them. He is an artist of intimacy, of hidden suffering, of internalization, of closed houses where darkness reigns and where one is careful not to let the sun enter. If Gilbert Pastor's palette is rich, everything on his canvases blends into dead-leaf tones, wise and light ochres and drowsy greens where the rebellious brilliance of a harsh blue sometimes emerges; painter of stripping, he always emerges in his work an atmosphere that is both bewitching and magical which encourages contemplation. The artist died in the middle of summer 2015.

Woman at Rest, Signed Charcoal Sketch, 20th Century British
By James Stroudley
Located in London, GB
Charcoal on paper, signed lower left Image size: 15 3/4 x 21 inches (40 x 53.5 cm) Contemporary frame James Stroudley Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker, paid homage to Stroudley by including his work in the exhibition ‘Pupil & Masters’, held at Westgate House, Long Melford, Suffolk. Stroudley married three times, and his wives included the fashion artist to the Sun newspaper...
