Pierre Carrier-Belleuse
Ritratto di Attrice Parigi Belle Epoque Pastello Firmato Art Nouveau

1921

About the Item

Pierre Carrier-Belleuse (Parigi, 1851-1931). "Portrait of Actress in Belle Epoque Paris" pastel on canvas signed upper right and dated 1921 in its original gilt wood frame. Bellissimo ritratto che evoca l'atmosfera brillante della Parigi di inizio Novecento; la giovane e affascinante donna che posa di tre quarti, con una fascia che le adorna i capelli ed un abito scollato, ricorda moltissimo le splendide attrici che popolavano le notti parigine che il pittore amava frequentare. Carrier-Belleuse era un contemporaneo di Edgar Degas e i due esposero contemporaneamente nei principali Salon di Parigi. Biography: Pierre Gérard Albert Carrier de Belleuse, known as Pierre Carrier-Belleuse, born January 28, 1851 in the 8th arrondissement of Paris (formerly) and died in the 16th arrondissement of Paris on December 31 , 1932, was a French painter. He is the author of numerous portraits of ballerinas from the Opera as well as singers and actresses from Parisian theaters. Pierre Carrier-Belleuse is the son of sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and Louise Anne Adnot. A pupil first of his father, then of Alexandre Cabanel at the École des beaux-arts in Paris, he first exhibited at the 1875 Salon. Riceve una menzione d'onore nel 1887. Come suo padre, la sua opera si concentra principalmente sulle donne. I suoi disegni di ballerine venivano spesso riprodotti sul Le Figaro Illustré. Partecipò all'Esposizione Universale del 1889 e vinse una medaglia d'argento che lo mise fuori concorso. He joined the Société nationale des beaux-arts in 1890 and was appointed a member in 1893. Every year he exhibited there the pastels that made him successful. In 1895 he was appointed president of the International Society of Painting and Sculpture. Dal 1885 lavorò quasi esclusivamente con i pastelli. In the same year he married Thérèse Duhamel-Surville, great-granddaughter of Honoré de Balzac. From this marriage a daughter, Pierrette, was born. In the 1890s he taught at the Académie Julian in Paris. Pierre Carrier-Belleuse ha dipinto molto sulla Costa d'Opale. Possedeva una villa in cima ad una scogliera a Wissant. The surrounding dunes have been the setting for many of his works. He attended the Wissant School, founded by his painter friends Adrien Demont and Virginie Demont-Breton. From 1885 to 1932, he lived at 31 boulevard Berthier in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, where a memorial plaque pays tribute to him. È sepolto nel cimitero di Carnot a Suresnes, nella stessa tomba della scrittrice Laure Surville, nonna della moglie del pittore.

Attended: San Francisco Art Association School of Design, Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Académie Julian de Paris, New York School of Art "In the past I worked on light and shadow effects.
