About the Item

Oil on canvas 15 x 18 inches (38.5 x 46 cm) Framed: 22 x 25 inches (56 x 64 cm) Signed with a monogram: gdE Provenance: Ader Tarjan, Paris May 1992 Sothebys, NY, June 1996 This painting has a Certificate of Authenticity from Jean-Dominique Jacquemond. Born in Melun in 1870, Georges D’Espagnat’s family moved to Paris when he was a young man. He was largely self-taught as an artist, eschewing the traditional art schools and rejecting the strict formalities of the Paris academies, and instead studying the works of the great masters found at the Louvre. He became involved with prominent Impressionist painters of the time and began his public career at the Salon des Refusées in 1891. In 1895, d’Espagnat had his first solo exhibition at the Le Barc de Boutteville Gallery in Paris. In 1903, along with the architect Frantz Jourdain and critic Ivanhoe Rambosson, d’Espagnat founded the Salon d’Automne with the purpose of creating an alternative exhibition venue for young artists and for retrospectives of the modern artists who had been rejected at the end of the earlier century. In 1907 his work was included in the Marcel Bernheim Gallery Group Exhibition with Bonnard, Cezanne, Matisse, Pissarro, Rouault, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec. He was elected vice president of the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1935 and was an active member at the Salon while teaching at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts until the 1940s. His work is represented in the collections of numerous museums and public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Musée du Theatre National de l’Opera in Paris, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo and the Thyssen- Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
