Renée JullienParis School Pastel, The Resting Cat, Circle of Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita
About the Item
French pastel on paper portrait of a sleeping cat by Renée Jullien. The drawing is signed bottom left and presented in a custom wood frame with cut card mount under glass.
A charming portrait of a cat resting on a plump cushion. Their eyes half open regard the viewer inviting you to stretch out and give them a stroke. You can almost hear the purring. Jullien has captured all the charm and character of the cat and the scene. The composition and form are very reminiscent of the works of Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita who was painting at the same period and whose work she may have encountered whilst studying in Paris.
Renée Jullien was the daughter of the composer Georges-Maurice-René Jullien and Madeleine Gretillat. She entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1919, presented by the painters Louis-François Biloul and Jules Adler.
She was the first woman to be distinguished in the "Prix de Rome" competition, receiving the second grand prize in 1923 with a painting on the theme of Golgotha. The following year she travelled to Indochina and China thanks to a state scholarship. Renée Jullien moved to Aix-en-Provence in 1940, the landscapes she discovered became a source of inspiration. She opened a sculpture workshop at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts at the request of Marcel Arnaud. In 1954, she was awarded the Paul Liot Prize at the Salon of the Society of French Artists in Paris
(While there are many artists who can be called cat-lovers, only one can be called the master of cats. Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita was a Japanese–French painter and printmaker born in Tokyo, Japan. He applied Japanese ink techniques to Western-style paintings. He has been called “the most important Japanese artist working in the West during the 20th century”.)
