About the Item
Unique Mid-century original mixed-media newsprint and crayon collage/drawing by French artist Max Papart, signed with dedication and dated 1967 to the bottom right. The work is on the 1966 Christmas catalogue for the 13th Salon in the town of Bollène in the Vaucluse.
This collage was created by Max Papart for and given to Denise David a well-known and well respected gallerist from Lyon.
Provenance:
Gift of the artist to Denise David, thence by descent within the family.
Max Papart was a French painter and printmaker. He is best known for his depictions of circus performers, birds, figures, still lifes, and landscapes in a colourful Cubist style. Papart’s work captured the joy of life through a sense of movement, cheerful hues, and lighthearted subject matter.
Born on December 19, 1911 in Marseilles, France, the artist studied at the School of Fine Arts in Marseilles before moving to Paris in 1936, where he began exhibiting at the Salon des Indepedants. In the years 1969–1973, he taught printmaking at the University of Paris VIII in Vincennes. The artist died on August 29, 1994 in Paris, France. Today, Papart’s works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the National Gallery in London, among others.
A wide array of artists had an influence on Papart's work, such as Cranach, Delacroix, Matisse, and Klee and inspired by his friend Jacques Prevert.
Max Papart could never imagine that his images would create such thought and enjoyment. His subjects include the legendary landscapes of the South of France as well as thought provoking collaged portraits.
Often working in the realm of cubism, he depicted circus scenes, flirting couples, soaring birds, and other cheerful subjects with flat, overlapping planes of contrasting colours and textures which suggest many levels of depth. He often achieved what has been called a "time window" effect, through which the viewer senses the past or future. This is not to say that Papart is simply a purveyor of superficial entertainment.
For all its decorative gaiety, his work also forces the viewer to think. As the noted critic André Parinaud put it, "We are going to rediscover Papart as one of the masters of the second cubist generation, born from colour and from the geometric demand of the composition...His radiating warmth will be much appreciated."
Papart's work is widely recognized by critics and connoisseurs alike. Since his first one-man show in 1946, he had over 300 museum and gallery exhibitions around the globe, and is the subject of dozens of books and catalogues.

Max Papart
Max Papart (1911-1994), was born in Marseille, France and later moved to Paris where he learned the techniques of classic engraving. One of the most intriguing intellectual concepts which Papart achieved is a "window" through which the viewer senses the past or future, or even another time or place. It has been said that Papart does not "paint," he "composes." His compositions come together in a symphony of line, shape and colour. Papart always believed that each painting has its own meaning and needed no interpretation from him. His paintings, in his own words, 'force the viewer to think, and it is for the viewer to respond to the art based on his own personal experiences (Rogallery). Papart's original art pieces such as this one are auctioned at the world's most prominent houses and are eminently collectible. You will find his works often sold side-by-side with Picassos, Chagals and Braques.

Mermet. Mid-Century Design for a Sculpture. Acrylic and Crayon on Paper.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A mid-century design for a sculpture, signed or titled Mermet bottom left corner. Presented in period metal frame.
A very strong image which is almost certainly a design for a sculpture due to the three dimensional nature of the piece accentuated by the lines of the image extending beyond the subject itself showing the different planes to be worked.
This extremely energetic and forceful application of the crayon and the extension of the lines is highly reminiscent of the work of the expressionist Bernard Buffet who lived and worked in Tourtour in the South of France. The angular features of the figure and the dark intense lines are particularly in line with the style of his work. Expressionism was a form of art less interested in the correct anatomical representation of the subject but more in portraying the feelings and emotions that the subject evoked.
The model appears to be for a sculpture quite possibly inspired by African art as the image is reminiscent of African fetish...

'Homage to Kandinsky: Before Spring' original signed mixed media watercolor
By David Barnett
Located in Milwaukee, WI
David Barnett’s ‘Homage to Wassily Kandinsky after 1911 orig. Woodcut from the Klänge (Sounds) Series, title: Before Spring,’ is an original mixed media watercolor painting, signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Part of the artist’s ‘Famous Artist Series,’ Barnett stages a collaboration between himself and the Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky by scanning the original woodblock print from Kandinsky's Klänge series and printing it as a giclée on watercolor paper. The composition sees a hatted figure with a staff as they journey through hills and canyons into the night; colors pass from the inside of the woodcut to the surrounding paper where they form a rotating cycle, perhaps indicative of the cycle of influence from Kandinsky to Barnett and back again.

'No Way Back #3, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Mixed Media Pastel Drawing
By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
In this 16" x 20" ink and pastel drawing on paper, Simon-Gestin depicts what appears to be a young woman isolated within the darkened archway of an architectural setting. The smiling face of a larger female figure looks on from the left margin of the work - a possible 'guardian' or 'protector' of the younger girl. The ground of geometric shapes surrounding the figures are filled with organic shapes and contouring lines in warm tones or dark line.
This work is from Simon-Gestin's "No Way Back...
