About the Item
Jacques BERLAND (1918-1999)
Portrait of a woman, circa 1950
Oil on canvas
34 × 25 cm
A figurative painter of the Paris School, Jacques Berland's work was brought back into the limelight by an exhibition held in 2005 at the Musée-Château Saint-Jean in Nogent-le-Rotrou.
A native of Eure-et-Loir, Jacques Berland was born in Pré-Saint-Evroult in 1918 to farming parents. He graduated from the Châteaudun agricultural school and initially planned to take over the family farm. World War II decided otherwise. He was taken prisoner in Germany on June 17, 1940, where he remained until 1945. During these five long years of captivity, he drew, painted, learned several languages and deepened his knowledge of art history and literature. His wartime godmother, Marie Laurencin, strongly encouraged him to enroll in the fine arts.
In 1946, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in the studio of Jean Souverbie (1891-1981). He also took courses at the Ecole du Louvre in 1949, before traveling to Italy on a scholarship. In 1953, Jacques Berland became a boarder at Casa Velazquez in Madrid, where he studied for two years before returning to Paris and exhibiting at the famous Galerie Charpentier in 1955-1956 (Exposition Découvrir) alongside Jean Bazaine, Bernard Buffet, Nicolas de Staël and Kees van Dongen.
His extensive knowledge of art history enabled him to become a lecturer at national monuments in 1962, with a particular interest in the Louvre. He gave up painting that same year at the age of 44, despite his talent and the praise he received from critics.
His paintings, which mainly comprise still lifes, portraits and landscapes, bear witness to a solid line, a firm touch and a palette restricted to the essentials. The expressive portrait we present shows a female model with large, clear eyes, portrayed in a three-quarter view.
