Notes:
Maurice Estéve was a French painter celebrated for his lyrical experiments with bright interwoven forms. His painting was automatic, once saying, "I never use a sketch, painting directly on the canvas, without a preparatory drawing... Each work is a series of transformations."
Born in 1904 in Culan, France, Estéve moved to Paris with his parents in 1913. He worked for a year as a designer in a textile factory in Barcelona in 1923, before attending the Académie Colarossi in Paris the following year. Prior to this he was largely self-taught, but visited the Louvre regularly and was impressed by painters Jean Fouquet and Paolo Uccello. However, of the modern artists it was Paul Cezanne who had the greatest influence on Estéve. During his studies he was exposed to the Cubists and became influenced by the work of Georges Braque and Fernand Léger.
Estéve's first one-man exhibition was held at the Galerie Yvangot, Paris in 1930 and in 1937 he worked as an assistant to Robert Delaunay on huge decorative panels for the Paris International Exhibition. From the 1940s his work became more abstract and his stylised figures, still-life and landscape compositions evolved into interlocking shapes in rich, bold colours. Estéve worked in a number of mediums including oil, watercolour, lithography, textile design and murals. In 1959 he took part in the II. documenta exhibition in Kassel: a presentation of contemporary art founded by Arnold Bode in an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art. In 1970 he received the Grand Prix National des Arts and in 1987 the Estéve Museum was opened in Bourges, France to which Estéve donated a large collection of his work.
Estéve settled in his hometown of Culan in 1995 and died there aged 97 in 2001. Today his work is held in collections, such as the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, the Tate Gallery, London and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Maurice Estève
Maurice Estève was born May 2, 1904 in Culan in the Cher where he spent his childhood with his grandparents. He joined them in 1913 in Paris, where he discovered the Louvre Museum (he is particularly impressed by the Battle of San Romano by Paolo Ucello). Returning to Culan for the summer, he stayed there during the war years, began painting as early as 1915. He lived in Paris again from 1918. Apprentice to a typographer then to a modern furniture design studio, he followed Drawing evening class, discovers in 1919 the painting of Cézanne. Back in Paris he attended Montparnasse the free workshop of the Academy Colarossi. Marked until then by the painting of the Primitives and the work of Cézanne, it passed temporarily in 1927 the influence of surrealism, including Giorgio de Chirico. He presents his first solo exhibition in 1930 before becoming interested in film and directing. On the advice of Braque who participates, he is asked in 1936 to exhibit in Stockholm with Matisse, Picasso, Juan Gris and Fernand Léger. He participated the following year in the realization of the wall decorations of Robert and Sonia Delaunay for the pavilions of the Aviation and Railways at the Universal Exhibition of Paris. Estève, who works regularly during the summer in Culan, makes lithographs, regularly practices watercolor but also charcoal, monotype, collage. In 1970, he received the Grand Prix National des Arts. From 1981 are organized several retrospectives of his work. The City of Bourges decided to present all the works (more than a hundred) which the painter donated to him in 1985 in the Hotel des Echevins, restored with the assistance of the Historic Monuments and the Direction of the Museums of France to become the "Estève Museum", inaugurated in 1987. Estève moved permanently to Culan in 1995. He died on June 27, 2001.

Price:
$14,000 USD
Provenance:
Barry Friedman Ltd, New York (stock no. BF11410)
Notes:
Mathieu Matégot was a Hungarian-born French designer, architect and artist. After studying at Budapest's School of Fine Arts in 1929, Matégot travelled across Italy and the USA until settling in Paris in 1931 where he worked as a set designer, window dresser and tapestry maker.
Matégot volunteered for the French resistance at the start of the Second World War, only to be captured by the Nazis. A dreadful fate for most, however, it was during his time as a prisoner of war that the artist discovered metalworking techniques (such as Rigitulle) which he later patented and became renowned for. Upon his release, Matégot was awarded French citizenship.
After the war, the artist's interest in tapestry was renewed after being introduced to contemporary tapestry revivalist, Jean Lurçat. However, in order to make ends meet, Matégot pursued furniture design; he established a workshop in Paris and dedicated his time to translating the groundbreaking metal techniques into popular handcrafted objects.
In 1959, Matégot abandoned furniture design and focused exclusively on his passion for abstract tapestries. He continued his work as a pioneer of French Modern tapestry...
