Jean ArèneFrench Expressionist Oil on Panel, La Tauromaquia
About the Item
French Expressionist oil on wood panel view of a bull in an arena by Jean Arène. The painting is signed bottom left, is painted on an antique wood, chamfered cornered, table top that the artist has reused and is in the original Arène frame crafted by the artist.
Jean Arène was a student of August Chabaud, a highly sought after French artist in Provence who in turn took his inspiration from Cezanne.
A strong and engaging view of a traditional Camargue, South of France scene where a bull is in an arena and is being trained for 'Free Running'. The audience watch on in awe as the 'subalternos' in the ring avoid being caught by the bull, one of them is seen jumping over the protective wooden wall surrounding the ring. Arène has captured the scene from his own experience of visiting such events which have been such an inspiration to artist such as Goya and Picasso. He has used a limited colour palette to great effect, highlighting the audience figures and central area in greys and whites. The handling of the figures around the outside of the scene is very reminiscent of the works of Raoul Dufy.
Bullfighting (from the Greek tauros, "bull" and makheia, "fight") is the way of confronting the bull, either during fights, or during sports or burlesque games such as bull training.
The reality of bullfighting shows vary according to practice and country. Bullfighting practices have acquired a stable form, codified rules and real institutionalization. These include the course landaise, the Camargue race in France, the toros coleados in Venezuela and Colombia, the jaripeo in Mexico, the rodeo chileno in Chile, the race de recortadores in Portugal or El rodeo en su salsa de Cuba which is a form of alternative bullfighting.
These races are most often sports recognized by national federations in France and America, or fanciful shows.
The Camargue race is a sport practiced in France, in the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône, Vaucluse, Gard, Aude and Hérault. It has also been called "free running" since the nineteenth century.

Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by José Benito Ortega

Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by Spanish Artist Ortega
Spanish, early 20th Century
Frame: Height 51cm, width 59cm, depth 2cm
Board: Height 44cm, width 53cm, depth 0.5cm
Fluidly painted, this vibrant oil on board depicts a dusty Orientalist scene. Four Bedouin ride camels alongside a flurry of goats, carrying lambs and hens in saddlebags. Other figures clothed in Middle Eastern garments walk with them, and the busy scene fades into a dusty, evening landscape. The colour palette is vibrant and hued with dusky pinks and oranges, giving the impression that these Bedouin are returning back to camp. The cropped composition also gives a dynamic feel to the picture: a glance into early 20th Century desert life.
The present painting was created by Spanish artist José Benito Ortega...
