About the Item

A large and elegant still life with grapes and pears on a table which also features a pristine white bowl and a candle stick. Painted with simplicity, clarity of structure, and restrained emotion, this is a superb modernist work by Jean Chauffrey (1911-) dating from circa 1950. At the time, Chauffrey had a contract with mythical Paris art dealers Bernheim-Jeune, who promoted and exhibited his work in the post war years. Bernheim-Jeune had started by presenting works by Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Paul Cézanne, Henri-Edmond Cross, Kees van Dongen, Henri Matisse, Le Douanier Rousseau, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Amedeo Modigliani and Maurice Utrillo. From 1906 to 1925, art critic Félix Fénéon was the director of the gallery and was instrumental in bringing in the art of Georges Seurat. The gallery became one of the centres of the artistic avant-garde. Chauffrey also exhibibited at the Salon des Tuileries, thé Salon de Mai ,and the Salon d'Automne.
