About the Item
Late Mid Century French feutre drawing on paper of a Provençal lady sitting in her kitchen by Jean Arène. Signed and dated bottom left.
This artwork is a striking pen-and-ink drawing that vividly captures a cluttered interior scene filled with an assortment of teapots and household objects. The central figure, an elderly lady with an expressive face, sits at a table surrounded by an overwhelming array of details. The artist uses bold, dynamic lines to convey a sense of chaos and charm, creating an atmosphere of cozy clutter. The composition’s intricacy draws the viewer's eye around the room, showcasing shelves overloaded with teapots, cups, and various vessels. The inclusion of these everyday items adds a layer of narrative depth, suggesting the lady's fondness for collecting or an obsession with the rituals of tea. The combination of detailed line work and the seemingly haphazard arrangement of objects lend the piece a whimsical and lively quality. This artwork stands out for its ability to invite viewers into a busy, intimate world.
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.
