1961

About the Item

Signed oil on canvas animals in landscape by French expressionist painter Andre Brasilier. The piece depicts goats and birds in front of green trees with a blue sea beyond. This early work was painted by Brasilier when on a painting holiday on the greek island of Lesbos - he painted a number of works in the islands. Signature: Signed lower centre right Dimensions: Framed size: 33"x39" Unframed: 26"x32" Provenance: This work is accompanied by a certificate from Alexis Brasilier Exhibition: Paris, Galerie André Weil, André Brasilier, 1962 André Brasilier was the son of the painter Jacques Brasilier. After studying in Saumur and St-Germain-en-Laye, he joined Brianchon's studio in 1949 at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was awarded the Prix Florence-Blumenthal in 1952 and the Grand Prix de Rome in 1953. He lived at the Villa de' Medicis from 1954 to 1957. He also received the Prix Charles-Morellet at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture in 1961 and the Prix de Villeneuve-sur-Lot in 1962. Brasilier's paintings are populated by beautiful, elegant women, respectable nudes and high-class gentlemen and are set in pleasant Val-de-Loire backgrounds, resplendent with landscapes and charming towns. Revealing the distant inspiration of Gauguin and the well-assimilated influence of certain other artists, Brasilier depicts a peaceful, comfortable world, free from care, in a very simple, stylish manner, with delicate harmonies bathed in accommodating sunlight. Brasilier took part in group exhibitions from 1956, including many in Paris: at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture; regularly at the Salon d'Automne; at the École de Paris exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier (1954-1957); at the Paris Biennale (1961 and 1963); and at the Salon Comparaisons (1961-1964). Mainly, however, he showed his work in solo exhibitions, including: at the Galerie Drouet in Paris (1959); at the Galerie Weil in Paris (1960 and 1964); at the David B. Finlay Gallery in New York (1962, 1971 and 1974); at the Atelier Mourlot in Paris (1964); at the Galerie Guiot in Paris (1967); at the Galerie de Paris (1969, 1972 and 1976); at the Yoshii Gallery in Tokyo (1969, 1974 and 1977); at the Galerie Matignon in Paris (1979); a first retrospective at the Château de Chenonceau in Paris (1980); at the Nichido Gallery in Tokyo (1983); a retrospective at the Musée Picasso in Antibes (1988); at the Galerie Hopkins-Thomas and the Galerie Étienne Sassi in Paris (1988); at the Hammer Gallery in New York (1989); André Brasilier à Bagatelle at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris (1992); at the Galerie Élysée-Matignon in Paris (1993); and at the Galerie Bac St-Germain in Paris (2002).

This painting is sold individually or as part of a diptych or triptych. Linda Holt has been painting koi fish underwater since the 1990s and more recently small and large-scale abstractions. An extraordinary colorist with an exuberant and fluid style, these luscious oils on canvas and wood glimmer and glisten like the koi themselves. With her love of paint and process, the abstractions are a logical evolution of Holt's more figurative work, and the 8" x 8" and 30" x 30...
