About the Item

Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) A young naked woman standing Pastel on paper Signed lower right and dedicated, "à JM Fournol (?)" 63 x 40 cm In fairly good condition: traces of wetness in the upper part, the paper is wavy, folds and any small tears in the lower part (please refer to the detail photographs) Framed under glass, with a green velvet mat : 88 x 63.5 cm Even if it is not in perfect condition, this is a very beautiful pastel, which shows another facet of Guirand de Scévola's art and personality. We are not far from his symbolist period and he still shows his mastery of pastels to create an atmosphere of dreamy intimacy. The play of light and shadow on the young woman's body is particularly suggestive. The fact that he offered it and dedicated it to one of his friends (unfortunately not identified) also proves that it was a work he intended for a restricted circle. There is definitely a question of intimacy here and it remains quite intelligible to us. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. De Scévola art is remarkable for his silky, velvety and smooth style. The very first part of his career was marked by symbolism, but he later developped his own language, his Art Deco like bunches of flowers are the best known. He was also a great portraitist for the socialites and aristocrats of the period. He was involved in several important art movements during his lifetime, and his style evolved to reflect the changing trends in French art during the first half of the 20th century. His work is often described as a fusion of Symbolism, Post-Impressionism, and elements of modernism, though he remained deeply rooted in traditional French artistic practices. He is also known for his pioneering leadership of the Camoufleurs (the French Camouflage Department) in World War I.

Henry Ottmann (1877-1927) Nude in the studio, drawing signed
By Henri Ottmann
Located in Paris, FR
Henry Ottmann (1877-1927) Nude in the studio signed lower right Charcoal on paper 37.5 x 31.5 cm In good condition In a modern frame : 53 x 46.5 cm Published under n°414 of the artist's catalogue raisonné (p 167 reproduced) published by Bernard Toublanc-Michel, Paris 2020 This drawing is a particularly interesting and touching example of Henry Ottmann's art. It shows his special technique, which gives priority to a kind of blur, and in this case it serves very well this scene of intimacy as if captured by stealth. Henry Ottmann was born on 10 April 1877 in Ancenis. He made his debut at the Salon La Libre Esthétique in Brussels in 1904 and took part in the Salon des Indépendants in Paris from 1905, the Salon d'Automne, the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the Salon des Tuileries. In 1911 and 1912, Ottmann exhibited at the Artistes de la Société Moderne at the Gallery Paul Durand...
