About the Item

'Theatre in the Park' gouache on art paper, French School (circa 1930s, signature unknown). A charming vignette of costumed performers in an open air theatre delights the viewer. There is something akin to the work of Marc Chagall in this depiction. Perhaps it is the dreamlike imagery and the colour palette used by the artist. We can say for certain that it transports the viewer to a better place and would cheer up a needy niche in any home or workspace. Overall, the piece is in good condition having been recently cleaned by an art restoration specialist. The work has been newly framed and is glazed with anti-reflective glass. The work is signed in the upper left hand however the handwriting is undecipherable. It was acquired in the South of France near Montpellier. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided. Dimensions with frame: H 46 cm / 18.1" W 38.5 cm / 15.2" Dimensions without frame: H 31 cm / 12.2" W 24 cm / 9.4"

Le Jardin du Luxembourg
By Marie-Anne Nivoulies de Pierrefort
Located in London, GB
'Le Jardin du Luxembourg', oil on canvas, by Marie de Nivouliès de Pierrefort (circa 1910). Parisians are not equivocal about their park preferences. Some clearly favour the Tuileries, while others stand firmly with feet planted in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Perhaps this is analogous to residents' strongly-held preferences for either the Café Deux Magots or the Café de Flore, just down the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Back to the gardens though, I have always been captivated by the Luxembourg Gardens. It's the lawns, tree-lined promenades, tennis courts, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its octagonal Grand Bassin, as well as the picturesque Medici Fountain...

Characters in a Surrealist Landscape
By Lucien Coutaud
Located in London, GB
'Characters in a Surrealist Landscape', oil on canvas, by Lucien Coutaud (1931). A couple entwine with the male character seemingly in grief, the female not returning with a comforting embrace. In the distant landscape a sole character meanders. This painting seems to be a creation of the artist's dreams, perhaps reflecting events in his personal life. It seems there is a relationship problem. In the world of Surrealists, there is a focus on the unconscious mind through Freudian methods of free association, trance-like states or dreams. Some Surrealists practiced psychic 'automatism' which was automatic writing or drawing, turning off the conscious mind and producing streams of words or images directly from the unconscious. In unlocking the unconscious in this way, Surrealism was individually expressed (Ref. 'The Short Story of Art...
