About the Item

Title: Menton Lighthouse and Coastal Promenade French Riviera Study Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on artists paper, unframed Size (H x W): 4 x 6 inches Signed: Lower left, inscribed “Menton” Condition: good overall; light handling marks, perforated edge from sketchbook removal, colours bright and stable. Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: A luminous and architecturally balanced study by Pierre Neveu depicting the lighthouse and sea wall at Menton, on the French Riviera. Painted with expressive washes of ultramarine, ochre, and violet-grey, this work captures the dramatic interplay of mountain, sea, and coastal structure unique to this border town between France and Italy. Neveu’s composition demonstrates his characteristic understanding of design and rhythm — the red-topped lighthouse provides a vertical accent against the diagonal sweep of the promenade, while transparent layers of gouache and watercolour describe shifting light across the bay. The artist’s confident, gestural mark-making evokes the immediacy of plein-air observation and the cool brilliance of Mediterranean light. Executed on sketchbook paper, complete with its perforated margin, the work exemplifies Neveu’s modernist approach to travel studies: spontaneous yet refined, painterly yet architectonic. Collectors of mid-century French coastal scenes and Riviera modernism will find this piece a particularly strong example of his vivid observational style.

"The Tower, Cannes" - Urban Landscape
By Shelley Lazarus
Located in Soquel, CA
Lively depiction of Cannes, France by California artist Shelley Lazarus (American, b. 1936). Artist's info on verso (redacted for privacy). Presented in a red wood frame with a double mat. Paper size: 10.5"H x 7"W Shelley Lazarus (American, b. 1936) is a Los Angeles based artist who studied at Syracuse University, Pratt College, and Parsons School of Design, and has been teaching art for over 20 years. Lazarus’ main goal as an artist is to bring a sense of movement and a sense of emotion to her paintings through the use of color. Her landscapes are done mostly on location, where she can feel the power of the atmosphere around her and through the use of color, composition and the movement of space, capture the subtle nuances that reflect in the light. Lazarus was born and educated in New York, where as a teenager she began her art studies at Pratt College while still attending Lincoln High School. She later was a student at Syracuse University and Parsons School of Design. In 1973 she relocated to the Los Angeles area with her husband and their three sons. Although her art career was interrupted for a time, in 1981 she became involved with the Brentwood Art Center. Since then, she has been actively pursuing her art career. Her works have been shown annually in both local and national shows. These works have received numerous awards including a Diptych and a Triptych that were in the International Art Competition for the Olympics in 1984, first place from the San Fernando Valley Art Club for a watercolor in the Santa Monica Mountain Celebration, and the recent Oklahoma National Watercolor investment award. She is a member of the Watercolor Honor Society and a signature member of the Oklahoma National Watercolor Society. Her paintings are in the collections of private, corporate, and public sectors in the US and abroad, including the library at Los Angeles County Museum of Art. She is an active participant in Women Painters West, Valley Watercolor Society, Gallery 825 and Valley Institute of Visual Arts (VIVA). Lazarus has taught art to both children and adults. At the present time she is teaching advance watercolor painting studies to adults at the Brentwood Art Center. She also teaches plein-air painting during the summer months and has given private lessons to those in the entertainment industry as well as to royalty. In 1993 she became involved in the formation of TAG Gallery, a co-op gallery located in the Miracle Mile...
