Joséphine Beaudouin (1909-2005) Poetry of the Bird, surrealist painting, 1948 Oil on canvas Signed "Joséphine Beaudouin" and dated "1948" lower left 13,7 x 10,6 inch Born in Albi in 1909, Josephine Beaudouin (née Cals) showed an early interest in drawing. At the age of twelve, she moved to Paris where her mother, Jeanne Ramel-Cals, ran a literary salon that was frequented by art world figures such as Ambroise Vollard. In 1925, while her first drawings appeared in the magazine Crapouillot, the young artist entered the School of Decorative Arts where she studied fresco painting. She married the architect Eugène Beaudouin in 1928, with whom she traveled throughout Europe. Beaudouin, a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, designed a series of buildings that were precursors of modern architecture in France (Clichy, Maison du Peuple; Antony, Résidence universitaire Jean Zay). Josephine Beaudouin exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. The work of the one that Jean Cocteau described as "bewitching" is full of mystery. Her work bears the stamp of an extraordinary personality. Indeed, Josephine Beaudouin developed a penchant for dreams at a very early age and took refuge in the works illustrated by Gustave Doré. Her technical virtuosity and overflowing imagination were praised by the critics of her time who unanimously greeted her Marmorées (ill.1). Named by René Barotte, these are paintings made on marble slabs from 1955. The artist exploits the infinite resources of the veins of this support which inspires him poetic compositions with unusual subjects. Marked by surrealism, she returns to the fantastic by delivering a prodigious creation of the mind made of dreamed cities and trompe-l'oeil. The 1948 painting that we propose probably represents a red-billed chough. The bird is a recurring theme in the work of Josephine Beaudouin, as in her life. An avid ornithologist, she kept an aviary in her Parisian home where many island birds were kept. She also built up a collection of stuffed birds. Still on this theme, the writer Claude Aveline (1901-1992), author of the poem L'Oiseau-Qui-N'Existe-Pas, invited several visual artists to freely interpret what this bird could be. The first series of works was produced between 1956 and 1963. In 1957, Joséphine Beaudouin delivered a work with a pen of great finesse, now preserved at the Centre Pompidou (ill.2). Several renowned artists also responded to the invitation of the poet such as Jean Cocteau and Ossip Zadkine. The precision of the graphics of our painting testifies to an attentive observation of the anatomy of the birds. The artist paints with great delicacy: the technique is impeccable, the drawing is careful, the material is smooth, the details are represented with great finesse and mastery.

Dimensions with frame: 44 x 57 x 5 cm. Signed and dated "Arthur 48" in the lower left corner. A striking and modernist still life depicting three freshly caught fish arranged on a white ceramic platter beside a simple kitchen knife. Executed with confident, textured brushwork and a restrained palette, the composition transforms an everyday subject into a powerful study of form, color, and materiality. The artist emphasizes the tactile qualities of the fish through thick impasto and nuanced earthy tones, contrasting beautifully against the luminous white tablecloth and the deep, almost abstract dark background. The dynamic placement of the fish creates a subtle rhythm across the composition, while the pared-down setting recalls the directness and honesty of early 20th-century European still life painting. Influenced by Post-Impressionist and modern realist traditions, the work balances painterly spontaneity with careful observation. The expressive handling of paint and simplified composition evoke the spirit of French and Continental modernist still lifes of the early to mid-20th century.

One of a kind and spectacular work by the renowned artist Julián Grau Santos, “a master of color in 20th-century Spain.” This is an interesting print on tapestry entitled “Bullfighting Arena,” depicting a bullfighting scene, very much in keeping with Spanish tradition. In the foreground, several bullfighters appear in their suits of lights, and in the background, in the stands, a group of women with mantillas and fans, as well as spectators wearing hats. Both planes are presented with equal importance and prominence, creating a powerful contrast between action and contemplation. This underscores the cultural dimension of the event. It portrays bullfighting and the festival as a social spectacle, which is very consistent with the overall style of his work, particularly interested in capturing everyday life and its traditions, always with a personal use of color and light. Also noteworthy is the fact that the focus is not on individual portraits, but on chromatic harmony and artistic expression itself. He does not seek realistic detail, but rather a festive atmosphere and dynamism. The scene unfolds through quick, fluid movements that reinforce the sense of bustle. Blue, red, and pink tones predominate against an ochre background. Beautifully framed with a wide wooden frame with an aged finish. A truly interesting work due to its subject matter, its exclusivity, and its authorship. A truly interesting work in every aspect.It,s signed Julián Grau Santos, heir to a family of artists Julián Grau Santos is one of the most outstanding painters and illustrators on the national scene. He was born in Canfranc (province of Huesca) in 1937. Heir to a family tradition, he is the son of the painter Emilio Grau Sala, a significant artist of the School of Paris, and of the equally extraordinary painter Ángeles Santos, a prominent member of the Surrealist group of painters of the 1920s and of the Las Sinsombrero (The Hatless Ones). In 1954, he moved with his family to Barcelona, ​​where he attended the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts. In his early years, he was greatly influenced not only by Van Gogh, but also by Impressionists and Post-Impressionists such as Sisley, Cézanne, Renoir, Seurat, and Vuillard, whom he discovered during his first visits to Paris, the city where his father lived. In the 1960s, he was closely associated with Cuenca, where he lived temporarily. At that time, he was experiencing a period of intense artistic activity, and there he produced numerous works characterized by strong expressiveness and a highly textured brushstroke. In 1978, he settled permanently in Madrid, where he currently lives, working not only as a painter but also as an illustrator and draftsman, contributing to several magazines, including ABC Cultural, La Razón, and El Cultural of El Mundo, among others. Since 1980, he has been a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. A painter not affiliated with any particular artistic movement, he has nevertheless contributed to the renewal of the figurative art tradition. He is considered by some to be a master of color in 20th-century Spain. Throughout his artistic career, he has participated in numerous solo exhibitions in various galleries both nationally and internationally, including Sala Parés, Galería Biosca, Galerie Saint Placide (Paris), Grand Palais (Paris), Justin Lester Gallery (Los Angeles), and Art Expo (New York). In 1993, the Mapfre Vida Cultural Foundation organized a retrospective exhibition of his work. Since 2004, he has exhibited permanently at the Beatriz Bálgoma Gallery, participating with them in several prestigious national and international art fairs such as Feriarte, the Lisbon...
