About the Item
Mid Century French feutre drawing on paper of a Provençal stable with horses by Jean Arène. Signed and dated bottom left and presented in a wooden frame under glass.
This evocative artwork is a monochrome pen or ink drawing depicting a rustic barn interior, where two horses stand amidst a textured environment. The artist utilizes bold, expressive lines to craft a dynamic sense of depth and movement, capturing the raw essence of rural life. The detailed rendering of the horses and the barn’s weathered wood highlights the skillful interplay of light and shadow, drawing the viewer into the serene yet gritty scene. The use of cross-hatching provides intricate detailing, enhancing the tactile quality of the work. This compelling piece invites reflection on themes of simplicity and the quiet dignity of animals within their natural settings, all framed with precision to complement its nuanced composition.
Jean Arène was a student of August Chabaud, a highly sought after French artist in Provence who in turn took his inspiration from Cezanne.
After a stint in 1949 at the School of Fine Arts in Marseille, then a year in Paris in 1950 with the poster artist Paul Colin, Jean Arène returned to Marseille the following year where he founded the "Group of under 30' with Trofimoff, Trabuc, Zutter and Mela and began painting as an autodidact, while earning a living in advertising and decoration.
His first exhibition dates from 1956. Then, from 1957, Jean Arène left the city for the countryside, which served as his base for many trips, often hitchhiking and backpacking, but always accompanied by a pencil and a sketchbook: Spain, Morocco in 1957, West Africa in 1960, (followed by an exhibition in Dakar), Northern Europe (Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Lapland , Lofoten, Netherlands and Belgium) In 1963 a trip to Tunisia. Then in 1966 his first retrospective in Toulon.
In 1970 Arène left for the United States and Mexico, followed two years later by West Africa again: Tassili, the Sahara and Algeria.
He exhibited extensively in Provence and the Gard: Aix-en-Provence, Uzès, Avignon, La Ciotat and Cassis. But his travels also lead him to exhibit abroad: Dakar, Ouagadougou, French cultural centers in Algeria, Morocco and Indonesia, where he also started preparing one of his books which later became a series.
