About the Item

ÉTIENNE MOREAU-NELATON (PARIS, 1859 – PARIS, 1927) L’Omnibus 1888 Huile sur toile 62,9 x 80 cm. Signée en bas à gauche Provenance : Vente Sotheby’s, New-York, 24 mai 1995, lot 00256. Du haut de son promontoire, cette femme élégante qui nous fait face adopte une pose parfaitement symétrique, les bras écartés prenant appui sur son parapluie posé à l’horizontal. Assise sur le banc de la plateforme supérieure d’un omnibus «à l’impériale», elle occupe, statique, le centre de la toile. Elle est entourée par deux hommes, assis de l’autre côté du banc, offrant la touche claire de sa veste entre leurs deux habits noirs. Ces Messieurs se retournent pour converser avec la dame. Relégués sur la gauche, deux autres hommes, l’un en veste claire, l’autre en habit sombre, occupent aussi le même banc. Ces silhouettes, aux chapeaux variés, se découpent sur un ciel aux lueurs rosées qui occupe l’arrière-plan. Les teintes alternées de leurs vêtements se fondent dans le paysage urbain, à hauteur des maisons qui, de part et d’autres de la composition, forment les deux côtés de la rue. Le cadrage serré de la scène, qui décèle l’influence de la photographie, procure une certaine intimité à cette conversation dont on comprend la localisation sur la plateforme supérieure d’un autobus, grâce à quelques indices. La trame claire de la rambarde de protection, s’infléchit à droite, suggérant l’escalier de l’autobus; une pancarte mentionne «Ternes», révélant sa destination quand, au-dessous, les inscriptions «St Honoré – 33» nous renseigne sur la ligne qu’il emprunte. Pour autant, le point de vue retenu par le peintre nous assigne à la même hauteur que les personnages, comme si nous étions sur la plateforme d’un autre omnibus. Cette peinture, par son cadrage, photographique, sa palette, restreinte, et son sujet, contemporain, est empreinte des recherches picturales d’avant-garde menées par les peintres Degas ou Manet, que Moreau-Nélaton collectionne par ailleurs.

Forgot 7

By Frank Arnold

Located in Fresno, CA

"Forgot 7" Oil on Canvas features an abstract form surrounded by characters and a surreal landscape. The canvas is painted with shades of green, blue, yellow, and white. Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
