Bruno Beran
Pencil Sketch of Girl Nude Posing - Early 20th Century by Bruno Beran

Circa 1930

About the Item

Bruno was born in 1888 in Bruenn, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was the youngest son of a well-to-do family of textile manufacturers. Bruno was a delicate child, but he showed very early great talents for the Arts. He was quite outstanding on the violin as well as showing great ability with pencil and brushes. For his artistic studies he was sent to Vienna - the capital and intellectual hub of the Empire. It was only there that he decided on the paintbrush in favour of the violin. In his own words he preferred to create his own images, rather than relate those of other composers. Bruno was lucky to join a class under the direction of a most famous artist, Claude Monet, now recognised as a father of "Impressionism". This piece was created using pencil on paper and is in a wooden gilt frame under glass. Keywords: Nude, woman, girl, naked, shading, black, white, grey, posing, figurative, figure, model.

  • Female Nude Study Charcoal and Red Chalk Drawing by Georges Lucien Guyot
    By Georges Lucien Guyot
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    French artist Georges Lucien Guyot (1885 - 1972) signed this charming woman nude study. This painting features a lovely design of a woman getting out of the bath and wiping with a towel. Only a few lines in charcoal and red chalk or sanguine mark the silhouette and posture and capture the model's expression. The red color emphasizes the color of the skin and imbues the lascivious movement. The sketches of the bath towel are only suggested, but it gives the whole thing a lot of softness and an incredible illusion of movement. Signed on the bottom left corner: Georges Lucien Guyot. The artist used a technique named "sanguine," or red chalk or crayon. The drawing has a blood-red, reddish, or flesh coloration. It has been popular for centuries for drawing employed by 15th and 16th Century artists such as the great masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The drawing is ornate with a contemporary wood frame with a red and yellow deep-textured pattern and an off-white matte with acrylic glass protection. Measurements: With Frame: 20.87 in. wide (53 cm) x 28.35 in. high (72 cm) x 1 in. deep (2.5 cm). View alone: 11.44 in. wide (29 cm) x 18.94 in. high (48 cm). About: Georges Lucien Guyot (born December 10, 1885, in Paris, where he died December 31, 1972) is a French artist, sculptor, and painter. From an early age, Georges Guyot showed artistic abilities, but the modest conditions of his parents did not allow him to study art. So he did his apprenticeship with a wood sculptor. Guyot excelled in copying works from the 15th, 16th, and 17th Centuries but rapidly showed an attraction for nature. This attraction led him to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where he could study wild animals and translate his observations into sculptures and paintings. A familiar figure of Montmartre, Georges Guyot was the guest of the Bateau-Lavoir from the time of Cubism. In 1931, he joined the group of Twelve, created by François Pompon and Jane Poupelet...
