Born in Grenoble, Léon-Ernest Drivier entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1895 in the studio of the sculptor Louis-Ernest Barrias. He began his career as a practitioner in Auguste Rodin's studio, working alongside other sculptors who soon came to be known as the Bande à Schnegg. In their quest for a new aesthetic, they combined the expressionist force inherited from the master with the fundamentals of classical sculpture from antiquity and the Renaissance.
A founding member of the Salon des Indépendants in 1923, Léon-Ernest Drivier received numerous public and private commissions for monumental works and large-scale decors. He was commissioned by the French government to create a gilded bronze sculpture of Athena for the Musée des Colonies, inaugurated in 1931 (now the Palais de la Porte Dorée in Paris). In 1937, to mark the Universal Exhibition, he created a group sculpted in the round, La Joie de vivre, now in the Trocadéro gardens, as well as two nymphs on the esplanade of the Palais de Tokyo. He also received several commissions from the Argentinian authorities, who drew on Rodin's preferred practitioners.
Léon-Ernest Drivier was part of the modern figurative movement of the 1920s and 30s, which embraced its classical heritage. He concentrated on the human figure, giving pride of place to simplicity. Anxious to achieve an ideal of simplicity, he formulated an artistic proposal based on the purification of volumes.

- Female Nude Study Charcoal and Red Chalk Drawing by Georges Lucien GuyotBy Georges Lucien GuyotLocated in Atlanta, GAFrench 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...Category
