About the Item

Jean CLUSEAU-LANAUVE (Périgueux 1914 - Paris 1997) The Pianist Oil on canvas H. 46 cm; W. 38 cm Signed lower right. Countersigned, titled, and dated on the back - 1962 Provenance: Exhibited in Cannes at Galerie 65 Jean Cluseau-Lanauve was born in 1914 in Périgueux into a family from the department. It was here that he "encountered" the arts, encouraged by his parents, before leaving to study them in Paris, where he would settle. He entered the army in 1933, leaving shortly before the war, during which he was taken prisoner in Germany. Training as a lithographer and draftsman marked his early career, and in the 1950s to 1980s, he became a recognized figure both among his artistic contemporaries and a devoted clientele. Although he was the head of the school at the post-war Paris school, Cluseau-Lanauve did not abandon his native Périgord. He owned a house near Les Eyzies, where he set up a small studio, offering a view of the colors of this land he loved so much. His first painting, presented at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1935, was a Périgord Landscape. It was later purchased by the French government. Cluseau-Lanauve constantly included this beloved Périgord in his works, which he created from sketches taken on location. Many notebooks of these sketches have been dispersed since his death and can now be found on the art market, sheet by sheet. His oils, which became Cubist in the 1950s, are images with clean lines that seek only to highlight the idealized subject through luminous facets. Our painting, dated 1962, is a rare subject in the painter's oeuvre. This pianist, attached to his instrument, seen from the audience, is depicted under spotlights. These are materialized by luminous axes, but also by a slight suppression of material (blue area). The composition is powerful, centered on the virtuoso in a bath of rich tones.
