About the Item
Jean Helleu (French, 1894-1985)
A painter, watercolorist and designer born in Paris, France.
The son of Paul-César Helleu.
(a French oil painter, pastel artist, drypoint etcher, and designer, best known for his numerous portraits of beautiful society women of the Belle Époque. He conceived the ceiling mural of night sky constellations for Grand Central Terminal in New York City. He studied with Jean-Leon Gerome and was friends with John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, and Claude Monet.) Jean shared with his father a love of the sea and sailing. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Grande Chaumière. (Kurt Seligmann, Yolande Ardissone, Balthus, Jacques Bouyssou, Gabriel Dauchot, Étienne Hajdu, Jean Helleu, Claude Lazar, Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat, Paul Rebeyrolle all studied there around that time) His first exhibition took place in 1922 at the Galerie A. Decour Though the Impressionist influence is evident, Jean Helleu especially admired the work of Dutch artist Johan Barthold Jongkind. There followed exhibitions at the Galerie E. Druet (March to April 1926), the Galerie Jean Charpentier (February 1929), the Galerie Peltier (November 1943) and at the Musée de la Marine in 1949. Jean Helleu was appointed the official painter of the French Navy in 1946 and received with this title several commissions from the French State.
Critical reception in L’Intransigeant:
“Helleu's son continues the teaching of Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Camille Pissarro, without seeking to imitate his favorite masters, but also without diminishing the influence they have on him. He holds the torch that the elders gave him”
He did commercial graphic work for noted brands and worked on bottles and packaging for the brands Coty, Bourjois and Chanel. He signs his painted works “Helleu-Guérin”, “Jean Helleu” or “J. Helleu”.
He served as artistic director at the famed fashion house of Chanel as did his son Jacque Helleu. Under their direction Chanel had a long history of cinematic and fantasy-themed advertising, counting Catherine Deneuve, Ali MacGraw, Candice Bergen, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman and most recently Keira Knightley among its celebrity pitchwomen. Filmmakers and photographers immortalizing Chanel fragrances in commercials include Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Jean-Paul Goude, Baz Luhrmann, Luc Besson and Ridley Scott.

Provenance: The Estate of the artist Ralph Della Volpe

Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe's semi-abstract paintings of often simplified, minimalist, beach scenes and anonymous portraits "convey profound awareness of mood and character", and his paintings are hardly as literal as they may first appear (Arts Magazine. "New York Exhibitions". 1965). His brightly-colored, light-infused, ornamental compositions bring together aspects of many modernist art movements including Fauvism, Impressionism, Symbolism, and abstraction. Della-Volpe first studied painting at the prestigious National Academy of Design before joining the Army during World War II. As a soldier, the artist saw action on Utah Beach, winning a Purple Heart, and his experiences undoubtedly affected his later artistic style. The Fauvist "coloristic exuberance" found in the works beginning in the mid 1960's, with their vibrant fuschias and yellows, seem to offset what could be an otherwise solemn tone to many of his works at the time. Upon his return from military service, Della-Volpe’s style evolved significantly. In the years following the second world war, his work was solemn, imbued with a quiet darkness. Over time, this darkness faded: by the 1950s, influenced by his time at the Art Students League, his oeuvre was overtaken by the tenants of Abstract Expressionism. Paintings from this period boast bold brushwork, energetic compositions, and strong color. Although the next decade saw Della-Volpe trade expressionist abstraction for figuration, his love of color continued to shine through his work.Della-Volpe took a teaching position as the first artist-in-residence at Bennett College in Millbrook, New York where he remained for 28 years, serving as chairman of the Art Department for most of that time. Obviously influenced by impressionism 's preoccupation with the treatment of light, Della-Volpe's own works have a "faultless tonal quality, with its sense of failing light—the areas of silvery gray deepening into rosy tans" (Arts Magazine. "In the Galleries". 1960). Della-Volpe has exhibited widely throughout his career and has lectured on art at colleges, universities, and galleries across the country.

Reflections - Large Impressionist Landscape Lake Vibrant Textural Oil Painting
By Katharina Husslein
Located in Los Angeles, CA
With a contemporary perspective on landscape painting and inspired by paintings created by old masters, German artist Katharina Husslein paints in a representational manner to capture saturated idyllic landscapes. Her passion for natural beauty is seen in her work as she transforms vistas familiar and rare into stunning interpretations of bold color, playful rhythms, and emotional impact.
Within her impressionist landscape paintings, her experiences abroad truly come to light. These textural and abstract paintings perfectly capture the vibrancy and movement included in a wide open landscape sunset. This series differs from Husslein’s more controlled and smoother hyperrealist still-life floral series which derives a more direct inspiration from art history and flower photography.
This large one-of-a-kind oil painting on canvas measures 39 inches high by 59 inches wide. This textural artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front. It is signed by Husslein on the back. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
“I create paintings that capture the joy of the moment in time where everything seems quietly perfect and the flowers are in full bloom. A metaphor as old as time, to seize the moment and enjoy it to its fullest extent.” When you look closely at these paintings you will see all kinds of amazing plants arranged together in a vase, some of which may not flower at the same time. The artworks focus more on the colors, lighting, textures, and botanical details which make Husslein's paintings so intriguing.
Born in Wertheim, Germany, Husslein grew up in a quaint village surrounded by luscious hills and flowing rivers. To grow her practice and widen her perspective, she left Germany to study art in London, UK. As part of her studies, she lived in Los Angeles, New York, and Australia. Now based in Munich, Germany, Husslein has exhibited her artworks across Europe, gaining collectors internationally. Her original oil paintings have been exhibited at Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles since 2022.
Artspace Warehouse has been representing and exhibiting Katharina Husslein's original artworks since 2022. The gallery has been a 1stdibs partner since 2014 with consistently excellent reviews from clients worldwide.
