About the Item

LUCIEN ROUDIER ELLER 1894-1940 “CHANTEUSE ESPAGNOLE” MIXED MEDIA, SIGNED FRENCH, C.1925 27.25 X 38.5 INCHES Lucien Roudier Eller 1894-1940 It is thought the name Eller was a combination of his first and last names. Lucien Roudier was born in Marseilles; he worked under the name Eller. He lived most of his life in Marseilles; his works depict the life of this large Mediterranean port city. Nightlife, street life, the elegant nightclubs, sailor bars, prostitutes, and Gypsy street musicians were among his favorite subjects. Eller was a laureate of l'École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. He was a member of Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. His style and technique was purely modern in the tradition of Von Dongen and Rouault. His imagery is powerful; his expressive style was intended to capture the romantic and the desperate. His first paintings appeared around 1914. When he came to Paris after World War One, he witnessed the Jazz bars with the Black musicians, circuses, and nightclubs, and these became the direction of his artistic adventure. Eller exhibited at Galerie Devambez in Paris, the Salons des Indépendants, and at the Salon Humoristes. Maybe because he died at such a young age, possibly in World War Two, his work fell into obscurity, but in 1956 a collection of more than seventy paintings, gouaches and watercolors were sold at auction in Nice. Paul Reboux wrote the preface of the sale.

PHILIPPE NOYER "AU BAR" WATERCOLOR, SIGNED FRANCE, C.1960S 25.5 X 19.5 INCHES Philippe Henri Noyer 1917-1985 Philippe Henri Noyer was born on June 28, 1917 in Lyons, France. After a traditional education at the elite Ecole des Roches, Noyer enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon. Next he moved to Paris, where he worked in decorative arts and advertising. It was during this time, he discovered his talent for oil painting, officially starting his painting career in 1943. That same year, Noyer met the famed Parisian art deal, Emmanuel David, who would promote his work and career. Noyer produced many portraits, for which he quickly gained an international reputation, but he also painted dream figures in rural or maritime settings, compositions that were classical in technique but surreal in concept. In 1947, Noyer held his first one-man show at the prestigious Drouant-David Gallery in Paris. In 1949 the gallery consigned twenty of Noyer’s paintings to an American art dealer who had agreed to organize an exhibition of them in the United States. However the American dealer sold the paintings at cost, in order cover a gambling debt, to Robert Goldstein...
