About the Item
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 they give the whole thing a lot of softness and an incredible illusion of movement.
Signed on the bottom left corner: Georges Lucien Guyot.
The artist employed a method known as "sanguine" (red chalk paint) which is red crayon or chalk. The drawing has a blood-red, reddish, or flesh coloration. For centuries, painters from the 15th and 16th centuries, including famous masters like Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci, have used it for drawing.
The drawing has an elaborate off-white matte with acrylic glass protection and a modern wood frame with a deep-textured pattern in red and yellow.

Biography:
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 and which brought together sculptors such as Marcel Lémar, Paul Jouve, André Margat, Jean-Claude de Saint-Marceaux, and Georges Hilbert. After the end of WWII, he was elected mayor of the town of Neuville-sur-Oise. Very fashionable in his time, he had to wait until 1970 for an exhibition devoted solely to his works.
He occupied Picasso's studio at The Bateau-Lavoir where he died on the last day of 1972.

Horses and dogs - Golden bronze - Palais du Trocadéro - Paris (1937)

Georges Lucien Guyot
Georges Lucien Guyot was born on December 10, 1885, in Paris. He died in 1973. He was a 20th century French painter, animal sculptor, engraver and illustrator. He was a student of musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. He exhibited in Paris, first at the Le Salon des Artistes Français, then at the Société du Salon d'automne. He was invited to the Salon des Tuileries and appeared at the Le Salon des peintres témoins de leur temps. In 1943, the Salon des Indépendants devoted an overall exhibition to him. He worked at the "Bateau-Lavoir" on Rue Ravignan for 52 years, until the fire destroyed his place. He waited for 85 years, in 1970, to see the first exhibition of his works. As a painter, he was not limited to animals. He worked during his young age on landscapes of the Rouen region, then views of the Ile de France and Montmartre where he lived. He illustrated De Goupil to Louis Margot by Louis Pergaud, and The Book of Beasts called savage André Demaison. All his life, he leaned over the study of animals, whose moving psychology he knew how to understand.

Biography from Butler Institute of American Art
Emil Ganso
1885-1941
Ganso was born in Germany in 1895. At age 14, he apprenticed to a baker and then worked his way to America when he was 17. He worked in bakeries in Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Cincinnati and Akron, Ohio. By 1916, Ganso was out of a job, and living the life of a bohemian in New York City, sometimes on less than 30 cents a week.
In 1921, Ganso painted on a realistic nude on a bedsheet and was forced by the police to remove it from an exhibition. The bedsheet with the painting was later stolen. He soon had a job baking again at $140 a month, and with time to spare for painting and study. Ganso quit baking in 1925 when a New York dealer game him financial backing of $50 a week. Ganso has prospered from his art ever since.
His work is in over 15 American museums, and the Print Club of Cleveland awarded him a $500 purchase prize for a wood engraving. A versatile artist, he paints a variety of subjects.
