Charles Gir was born in Tours, France on November 1, 1883. He was a noted painter, watercolorist, pastellist, sculptor and illustrator.
Gir was married to the well-known actress, Jeanne Fusier-Gir, and attended the Paris Opera every night for 17 years. He made many sketches of dancers and caricatures, and at the end of his wife’s performance used to deliver them to the newspapers he worked for.
He knew Raoul Dufy, Frances Carco and Jehan Rictus.
He sculpted a bronze statue of Don Quixote that now stands near the Prefecture of Cergy-Pontoise; and he also illustrated several books, including Edmond Rostand’s Chantecler, but he was known mainly for his theatrical posters.
Gir exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, Paris. In 1983 the Musée Pissarro in Pontoise held an exhibition of his work entitled Charles Gir et le monde du théâtre.

- L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman, 1928, oval pastelBy Lucien-Victor Guirand de ScévolaLocated in Paris, FRLucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman Pastel on paper 38 x 28 cm (oval) Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please) This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature. This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis...Category

- L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) A Man writing at his desk , Signed pastelBy Lucien-Victor Guirand de ScévolaLocated in Paris, FRLucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) A Man writing at his desk, 18th century interior scene Pastel on paper Signed upper right 20.5 x 15.8 cm Framed under glass : 37 x 31.5 cm It is known that Guirand de Scevola was very interested in the Palace of Versailles and its Old Regime atmosphere, that he often painted it and that he participated in the Versailles Revival movement at the beginning of the century. This probably led him to paint scenes in the 18th century style, for which he was particularly well known and which are still sought after. What is striking is the modernity of the execution of our pastel, which obviously contrasts with its subject in the style of the 18th century. Guirand de Scevoal is a great colourist and he proves it here with eclat, by building up his composition with white pastel highlights, contrasting with brown and black. There is something of the northern painters in this treatment of light. All this, as always with him, is very subtle. The light radiating from the window is almost an abstract notation, but it gives meaning to this interior scene. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter.
