About the Item

*PLEASE NOTE UK BUYERS WILL ONLY PAY 5% VAT ON THIS PURCHASE. La Tarte aux fraises by Jean-Pierre Cassigneul (b. 1935) Oil on canvas 130 x 97 cm (51 ¹/₈ x 38 ¹/₄ inches) Signed lower left, CASSIGNEUL Executed in 2017 This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Provenance: Studio of the artist Artist biography: Born in Paris on 13 July 1935, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul was raised in the exciting world of Parisian haute couture. His family's ties to the Jean Dessès fashion house, co-founded by his grandfather and directed by his father Jacques Cassigneul, exposed him to a world of elegance. This prestigious fashion house catered to European royalty and movie stars, shaping Cassigneul's aesthetic sensibilities. Influenced by the contemporary designs and stylish figures around him, these themes became central to his practice, often portraying fashionable women adorned with hats. Studying at the Académie Charpentier in Montparnasse, Cassigneul was soon introduced into the art scene of the neighbourhood. Notably, he made a good impression on the model and gallerist Lucy Krohg, who offered to exhibit his artworks in her own gallery. He was only seventeen when in 1952 he had his first solo exhibition at Galerie Lucy Krohg in Paris. It was in the 16th arrondissement, however, that Cassigneul met another significant figure in his life and artistic career, namely Jean Souverbie (1891-1981). As his friend and mentor, French painter Souverbie had a great influence on the young Cassigneul, introducing him to the work of artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard, also known as Les Nabis. Soon after, Cassigneul was accepted into the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he worked for the well-established artist Roger Chapelain-Midy (1904-1992) from 1956 to 1960. In 1958, the Galerie des Beaux-Arts exhibited his works, while in 1963 Cassigneul took part in the Salon de la Jeune Peinture alongside French painters Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) and André Minaux (1923-1986). Unlike many artists who throughout the 1920s and 30s shifted their style to abstraction, Cassigneul was always faithful to figurative painting. His elegant women stand out as the primary focus of attention against vague maritime backgrounds. Lively and colourful in his earliest works, the solitary women adopt more sombre and pensive moods in his adult compositions, proof of the artist’s greater experience and deeper awareness of the world. It was the encounter with Japanese art dealer Kiyoshi Tamenaga, later to become the artist’s representative in Japan, that launched Cassigneul’s career in the international art market. In 1966, his paintings were exhibited at the International Exhibition of Figurative Art in Tokyo, while in 1969 the Mitsukoshi Gallery in Tokyo showed his lithographs. Since his first trip in 1970, Cassigneul has been travelling increasingly both to Japan and the United States, where he had numerous exhibitions. One of the most well-known living French artists, Cassigneul now lives and works in Paris, where he continues to paint the fashionable women who are now widely known and appreciated around the world.

"Théâtre de 'Atelier" 20th Century Impressionist Parisian Scene Oil on Canvas
Located in New York, NY
A charming Parisian scene oil on canvas painting by the French artist, Johanne Schiefer. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here you see figures walking in front of the Théâtre de l'Atelier with an abundance of color and life. The magic is being felt with all the magnificent details, as Schiefer captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The piece is signed by the artist lower right and titled lower left and it comes housed in a gold tone French style carved wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 14 x 18 inches Frame measures 18 x 22.5 inches Johannes Schiefer was born in 1896 in the Netherlands, and quickly gained notoriety for his landscapes, still life’s and portraits. Schiefer won the Prix de Rome at the age of 19 and studied at the Düsseldorf Academy in Germany, and then moved to Paris where he continued his studies in art at the Beaux Arts, and later at the Villa Medici in Rome. He traveled to paint across Europe, primarily France and Italy and also Latin America. When he married, he settled down in Nice France, and during the late thirties, he traveled and painted the coastline of the South of France, as well as Venice and the Adriatic. He remained in France until 1942, when he moved to New York with his family after the birth of their daughter, future actress Joanna Miles. Already an artist of stature when he arrived in New York, he settled with his family on Long Island, and for the next 30 years, Schiefer kept on painting and built a solid reputation as an important American artist. The Schiefers also had a son, Johannes Jr. After the war, Schiefer maintained a Paris studio and became a resident of Los Angeles for a time in the 1950s. For the next 30 years Schiefer kept on painting and during his career had numerous one man shows, having exhibitions at: Gallery Zak in Paris; Kunsthaus in Hamburg; Kunsthalle in Munich; Stiebel Galleries in Paris; O'Connor Gallery in Ontario; Museum of Modern Art, Wildenstein & Co, Carol Carstairs Gallery and Schoeneman Galleries in New York City; Esther Robles Gallery, County Museum and Vigoveno Galleries in Los Angeles; and the San Francisco Museum. Like Picasso, Schiefer never permitted himself to be “type-cast” in a single monotonous style. If there is anything that typifies his work, it is his versatility, his deft handling of subdued tones to create a unique brilliance of light and color that stamps every painting with his own individuality. In February 1964, Ethel Kennedy...
