About the Item

MAXIMILIENNE GUYON "BEAUTY" PASTEL AND WATERCOLOR, SIGNED FRANCE, C.1895 18 X 10.5 INCHES FRAMED 27 X 19 INCHES Maximilienne Guyon was born in Paris on May 24, 1868. Her parents were artists. As a young woman, she attended the Academie Julien, having as teachers Robert Fleury, Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. In 1887, at the age of twenty, she made her debut at the Salon de Paris with the painting Mlle Jeanne G. , a portrait of her sister, who was also a painter. At the Salon of the following year she presented two works on canvas, Portrait de Femme and The Violinist, for which she received a third-class medal. Until 1903, the year of her death, her works were consistently found in all the Salon exhibitions, both in the painting and in the watercolor and drawing sections. In 1890 she obtained an "honorable mention" and a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. In the catalogues illustrè du Salon of 1891, 1892 and 1893, she, having married, was listed with the name "Goepp-Guyon". In the following years she was registered as Mlle or Mme Guyon. Probably she had lost early her husband. From 1892 to 1899 her address was 9 rue Alphonse de Neuville. From 1900 she lived in Neuilly-sur Seine, boulevard Bineau, 82. In 1892 she exhibited six works ( three portraits) at the "Exposition des arts de la femme" at the Palais de l'Industrie in Paris. In 1893 she participated in the World Columbian Exhibition of Chicago with the work Music, exhibited in the women's building. In 1894, with Un rôdeur, oil on canvas 100 x 80 cm, presented at the Salon, she gained a Bourse de voyage of 4,000 francs, (first to a woman) which allowed her to make a trip of some months to Italy. The same work was exhibited at the Salon de Lyon one year later. Maximilienne Guyon became a member of the Societe des Artistes Francais and hors concours at 28 years. She was also member of the Societe des Aquarelistes Francais and of the Societe des Prix du Salon et Boursiers de Voyage. She participated with hors concours in the Salon in Paris as well as in Lyon, Versailles, Ruen. In 1897 she presented a self portrait at the Salon and works at the "Esposition annuelle des Aquarellist". In this occasion, she was given the task of welcoming the president Felix Faure and his daughter with a bouquet of flowers when they came to visit the exhibition. This was reported in La Press, Paris, 4 Mai 1897. In the same year, she participated in the International Exhibition in Brussels. In the last years of her life the artist was a successful portrait painter. She got the bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1900 with the portrait La Toilette. She also received a silver medal in Amiens. In 1903 she obtained the gold medal at the Exposition of Blak and White in Paris. In the same year she presented a large portrait of Mme d'Hauterive (Jeannine Dumas) at the Salon de la Societè des Aquarellistes Francais and two works at the first Salon d'Automne: Nature Morte and A l'eglise. Maximilienne Guyon was a much esteemed art teacher and had Princess Mathilde of Saxony among her pupils. She was also an illustrator. Among others she illustrated works by Balzac, Enault and Theuriet. Conversations with the artist on the feminism and the difficulties of women in the art world were reported by Gabrielle Reval on the newspaper Femina of May 1, 1903, and on the book L'avenir de nos filles. Edition illustree de portraits des principales personnalites feminines". The article on "Femina" includes a photograph of the artist while she paints the portrait of Madame d'Hauterive Dumas. The interview reported in the book was made at the "maisonette" of the artist in Sauzon. From the text it is understood that the artist had a child." Maximilienne Guyon died in Neuilly-sur Seine in the first days of December 1903. The cause of her death is unknown. A necrology appeared in La Chronique des Arts et de la Curiositè, supplement a la Gazette des Beaux-Arts on January 10, 1904. A judicial auction was held at the home of the artist on January 10-11, 1904, where works, furniture and objects present in the atelier were sold. The auction catalog contained a list of 48 canvas paintings, 62 watercolors, 15 drawings and pastels, and reported a photograph of the artist and images of two her works: The rôdeur and The Ribandelle, a watercolour.

PHILIPPE NOYER "AU BAR" WATERCOLOR, SIGNED FRANCE, C.1960S 25.5 X 19.5 INCHES Philippe Henri Noyer 1917-1985 Philippe Henri Noyer was born on June 28, 1917 in Lyons, France. After a traditional education at the elite Ecole des Roches, Noyer enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon. Next he moved to Paris, where he worked in decorative arts and advertising. It was during this time, he discovered his talent for oil painting, officially starting his painting career in 1943. That same year, Noyer met the famed Parisian art deal, Emmanuel David, who would promote his work and career. Noyer produced many portraits, for which he quickly gained an international reputation, but he also painted dream figures in rural or maritime settings, compositions that were classical in technique but surreal in concept. In 1947, Noyer held his first one-man show at the prestigious Drouant-David Gallery in Paris. In 1949 the gallery consigned twenty of Noyer’s paintings to an American art dealer who had agreed to organize an exhibition of them in the United States. However the American dealer sold the paintings at cost, in order cover a gambling debt, to Robert Goldstein...

The brain of the monster #1636- Geneviève Seillé, 21st Century, Outsider art

By Geneviève Seillé

Located in Paris, FR

Graphite, coloured pencil and collage on paper Signed and dated on the back Unique work In Geneviève Seillé’s works, the word reigns in master. It fascinates her for its own appearance and becomes an esthetic entity in itself. When she was a child, she experienced an intense pleasure to hear the sound of the nib filled with ink on the paper. Later, she tried to experience this feeling again while creating. Since 1995, she started inventing her own words and was led by her mental fascinations. Lines and colours melt symmetrically and repeatedly. She leaves no place for emptiness. In the mysterious zone of creation, full of improvisations and chaos, she entirely fills the space with all sorts of signs and collages and it all harmonizes in the end. She offers a vision of creatures, invented anatomies and words that fit together and show a new way of seeing, fascinating and dizzying. Geneviève Seillé was born in France in 1951. From 1970 to 1977, she taught in primary and secondary schools in France and England. In 1981, she graduated in Fine Art (BA) at Wolverhampton Polytechnic. From 1979 to 1988, she worked on performances as Le Banquet & Le Jardinier...
