About the Item

Camille LOUVET Lille, 1847 – Angers, 1913 Pastel 26 x 32 cm (32 x 38 cm with frame) Signed lower right “Louvet” Exhibition label on the back at the Society of Friends and Arts of Angers in 1930-31 In the newspaper l'Illustration of October 9, 1897, an article on the School of Arts and Crafts of Angers in the West of France speaks about its students who "will work under the orders of their elders, at this exhibition of 1900 where our industry is preparing to deliver the good fight, to maintain, to even increase, if possible, the prestige it has won throughout the world. » ! In Angers there was indeed a School of Arts and Crafts with a foundry, a forge and a fitting workshop. In Angers in 1900 there was the largest automobile construction site in the West of France after the association of the Malinge and Laulan workshops in 1892. Born in Lille but from Angevin by adoption, Camille Louvet studied with Henri Harpignies. He painted landscapes and genre scenes. The topic here is interesting. This is a real document and a charming pastel depicting the interior of a forge with blacksmiths (titled on the back on the exhibition label). We can see the inscription Mining bar in the composition and numerous details which show the blacksmiths' profession around 1900.

  • He Was So in Need of Botany, bright colors, domestic, Latin objects
    By Barbara Rachko
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    Price and size includes frames (maple wood with white mats). Artwork 58" x 38" Her pastel-on-sandpaper series, "Domestic Threats" and "Black Paintings", both use cultural objects as surrogates for human beings acting in mysterious, highly charged narratives.[9][10] Rachko also has created a series of photographs entitled "Gods and Monsters".[11] In these chromogenic prints, she is "painting with a camera," creating variations that free the camera from being a mechanical recording device of what lies before it. She prints all of these images by hand. The earlier "Domestic Threats" pastel-on-sandpaper paintings used her West Village apartment or her 1932 Sears house in Virginia as a backdrop. The "Black Paintings" series grew directly from "Domestic Threats". In the "Black Paintings," the figures (actors) take center stage. All background details, furniture, rugs, etc. have been eliminated and replaced by intense dark black pastel. Each painting takes months to complete as she slowly builds up as many as 30 layers of soft pastel. Her long-standing fascination with traditional masks progressed in the spring of 2017 when she visited the National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore in La Paz, Bolivia where one exhibition included more than fifty festival masks. The resulting series is entitled “Bolivianos”.[12] She has also written an e-book, From Pilot to Painter[13] and writes a regular blog, Barbara Rachko...
