Lucien Boulier
Auguste Renoir"s last student: impressionist female nude the Statuesque Bather

circa 1910

About the Item

If something about this painting seems familiar, it is for good reason! Dating from circa 1905-10, it is a work by Lucien Boulier (1882-1963), who was effectively Renoir's last student. Perhaps the Master even helped a little? Boulier had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he won a first prize medal before withdrawing to study on his own at the Louvre. He was particularly attracted to the work of the Impressionists, especially the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, with whom he went on to study privately. Boulier's work was shown in a number of exhibitions during the 1920s, most notably at Galerie Charpentier in Paris in 1923; and at Wildenstein Gallery in New York in 1924.The delightful statuesque bather presented here is an oil on canvas relined measuring 22 x 27 cm. It bears the Lucien Boulier estate sale stamp at the lower right, and hence comes directly from the artist's studio. Boulier's studio was dispersed in 1963. The overall size including an attractive frame is 35 x 40 cm.

Lilac flowers at the door, 1901 uplifting floral still life large oil on canvas
Located in Norwich, GB
Here is a painting that will lift you - one feels happy every time one looks at it. It is such a lovely, unusual twist to the theme of the floral still life: here we have flowers, not in a vase, but attached to a wooden front door. I wonder if the artist did this with actual flowers, perhaps for a sweetheart, and then decided to paint the scene? At any rate: who wouldn't want to come home to find a large bunch of glorious lilac as they come home? The artist is Emile Baudoux (1850 -1929), who studied with Humbert and Cabanel. Paris-born, he liked to work in Normandy, where he had his studio. He exhibited his work at the "Salon des Artistes Français" until 1927, where he obtained a gold medal in 1910. The important oil on canvas presented here, dating from 1901, may have been shown at the Salon, as it bears an exhibition number "30" at the upper right of the canvas. Measuring 81 x 60 cm, the overall size including its original large oak frame...
