About the Item
There is a great exhibition on in Paris at the Petit Palais at the moment, entitled "Modern Paris/Le Paris de la Modernité 1905-1925" . Here is a painting that would fit into the exhibition perfectly!
Its audacious and purist composition depicts one of the stages of the modernist Champs Elysées Theatre.
Built between 1911 and 1913 on Avenue Montaigne, it became the first example of Art Deco architecture in Paris. Less than two months after its inauguration, the theatre hosted the world premiere of the Ballets Russes' Rite of Spring, which provoked one of the most famous classical music riots. Josephine Baker caused a sensation there with the Revue Nègre in 1925.
Our painting was exhibited in the salons of one of the Champs Elysées Theatre in 1928. An invitation to this exhibition is still attached to the verso of the canvas. The artist is Jean Priet, a painter and illustrator, best known for his drawings in the "Conversation du Maréchal d'Hocquincourt".
The painting must have held a special place in the heart of the artist. According to a touching label on the back of the stretcher, the work never left the family: over the decades, it was passed on from Jean Priet to Cécile Priet and then on to Nicole Priet.
Measuring 65 x 54 cm without the frame, the painting on thick jute is signed at the lower right and presented in a modernist oak box frame.

- Surrealist Carom Billards large and bold abstracted mid century modern games oilBy Guy BourdinLocated in Norwich, GBIf Carom Billards is your game, this is the ultimate painting for you. If it is not, you will simply marvel at the artist's playfulness, adventurousness and style. Large and bold, the artwork includes a Margritte-esque surrealist figure with a bowler hat, grattage - note the intricate herringbone structure of the background - and sculptural fissure of the red ball to represent the end grain. The result is breathtaking. If you want a focal point for a room, this one is for you. Guy Bourdin, the ground breaking fashion and advertising photographer, specialised in fascinating narratives, dramatic effects with intense color saturation, hyper-realism and cropped compositions. He often incorporated fantastical elements, vivid colors, and bold compositions into his images, creating a captivating, dreamlike atmosphere Bourdin's style was influenced by his background in surrealism and painting...Category
