About the Item
Bernard BOUTET de MONVEL (1881-1949)
Study of erotic scene, c. 1940
Pencil on paper
Studio stamp lower right
47.5 x 31.2 cm
Provenance: artist's family
Painter, engraver, illustrator and decorator born in Paris in 1881, Bernard Boutet de Monvel died prematurely in an air crash in the Azores in 1949. Introduced to drawing by his father, the illustrator Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel, the young man was destined for an artistic career from an early age. From 1897, he took classes with the painter Luc-Olivier Merson and the sculptor Jean Dampt and presented his first paintings at the Salon in 1903. He also produced numerous illustrations which appeared in various fashion magazines.
Mobilized as a reservist when the First World War broke out, he took part in the Salonika expedition as an aviator. Falling under the spell of Morocco, he stayed there until 1925 and delivered a singular and powerful vision through landscapes and animated scenes far from the clichés of Orientalist paintings.
The artist, described as a worldly painter, produced a very personal figurative work. He is aware of all the artistic trends of his time without ever fully assimilating to any of them. The drawing on tracing paper that we are proposing, rare in Bernard Boutet de Monvel's output, is one of a series of drawings probably made around 1940 in connection with an illustration project that was never published. The very free line of our drawing shows a spontaneity that stands out from his graphic production.
