About the Item

Georges Terzian 1939-2021 French Untitled Signed “G.TERZIAN” (upper right); signed, titled and dated “GEORGES TERZIAN MARS 2005” (en verso) Oil on canvas A thoughtful exploration of color and abstraction, this untitled original painting was created by French artist Georges Terzian. Reminiscent of the works of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the artist’s composition reflects the core tenants of the Cubist movement. Though Terzian sometimes indulged in more figurative geometric abstraction, Untitled is completely non-figural. Instead, the artist's vivid color palette of deep reds, blues and earthen browns and green shines, further complicated by the multitude of textures he produces: crosshatching, polka dots, and even wood grain. Born to parents of Armenian origin mere months before the outset of the Second World War, Georges Terzian enrolled in L'École de Beaux-Arts of Marseille at the young age of 14, where he began his formal training in drawing and painting. The young artist quickly became immersed in creative circles around Marseille but was forced to put his artistic pursuits on hold for the duration of the Algerian War. Finally settling in Paris in the 1960s, he took up his passion once more, painting landscapes in an impressionistic style reminiscent of Paul Cézanne. The artist’s compositions matured over the following two decades. He developed a highly individual post-Cubist style as he began to explore color and geometric abstraction, looking back to the groundbreaking work of artists like Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Terzian's work has achieved wider international acclaim following a highly successful solo exhibition at Galerie Giovanni in Paris, and his dynamic artworks reside in prestigious private collections worldwide.

Aoum II by Auguste Herbin
By Auguste Herbin
Located in New Orleans, LA
Auguste Herbin 1882-1960 French Aoum II Signed and dated 'herbin 1944' (lower right); titled "aoum" 2 (lower left) Oil on canvas This bold and vivid abstract oil on canvas was painted by French painter Auguste Herbin, a pioneer in popularizing Modernist abstraction. Over his expansive nearly 60-year career, Herbin rubbed shoulders with art history greats from Pablo Picasso to Georges Braque before honing his personal and innovative style. Entitled Aoum II, the painting stands apart for its daring color palette and crisp composition. Painted in 1944, Aoum II embodies Herbin’s fully-formed artistic aesthetic and stylistic tenets. Only two years prior to its creation, Herbin developed his “alphabet plastique,” a synergistic visual language of color and form that he described in detail in his published book L’art non-figuratif non-objectif. Though the artist was highly cerebral in his process of creating art, one does not need to perfectly understand his principles to feel Aoum II's magnetism. The geometric shapes visible in the composition — primarily fragmented triangles and circles — are rendered in bold pinks, blues and yellows on a deep black background. His tiered application of color creates a natural three-register visual effect as if to tell a story from the apex of the form to its denouement. Auguste Herbin began his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lille before moving to Paris in 1901. In the early years of his career, he experimented with a variety of styles, exhibiting Post-Impressionistic works at the Salon des Indépendants in 1906 and Fauvist paintings at the Salon d'Automne in 1907. After a brief Cubist period following his introduction to Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Otto...

Emprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) by Raoul Dufy
By Raoul Dufy
Located in New Orleans, LA
Emprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) Signed "Raoul Dufy" (lower right) Gouache on paper This vibrant gouache on paper by the renowned Raoul Dufy is not only a work of exceptional artistry, but also represents an important period in world history. The piece was a special commission ordered by the French government, who sought to encourage the French people to join in the post-war reconstruction efforts. Following World War I, the French government was destitute. The cost of the Great War had been tremendous not only in lives lost, but also in terms of infrastructure and finances. In order to reclaim its place as a great power on the world stage, France needed funds to reconstruct its key industries, and quickly. Thus, the government turned to one of the most famous French artists of the day - Raoul Dufy - to create this gouache on paper as an advertisement for the country's war bonds. The extraordinary work represents Dufy's own sense of patriotic duty. Entirely unique in his oeuvre, it is clear that Dufy wished to create something truly special to help his war-torn country. The artist deftly captures the industry of France in the colorful composition, showcasing bridges, buildings, ships and other key elements of the country's infrastructure in order to evoke the viewers' pride, patriotism and willingness to help. The words Emprunt 6% Souscrivez (War Loan 6% Subscribe) are boldly written across the top, seeking subscribers to a 6% interest loan to help rebuild the country - a very healthy return for the age. The powerful painting represents one of the most effective and extensive patriotic campaigns of all time. France relied heavily on the willingness of its citizens to lend money...

It has charm, expressiveness, abstracted content and idiosyncratic nature! A delight to hang in a smaller intimate spot. The framing is carefully done with silvered 24 karat leafing around the float area of the frame and then a wide panel to allow the viewer to focus in on the composition itself and the texture of the paint.
