A wonderful 1950's French expressionist oil on canvas depicting figures at a busy funfair, by Parisian artist André Beaucé. Excellent quality work painted with thick impasto brush work. Signed lower centre. Artist: André Beaucé (French, 1911-1974) Title: Funfair Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 25.5 x 21 inches (65 x 54 cm) André Beaucé was a French painter born on May 23, 1911 in Rennes and died on January 2, 1974 in Paris . A pupil of the School of Fine Arts in Rennes, a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts where he was admitted in 1932, André Beaucé was a pupil in the workshops of André Lhote and Simon, with Yves Brayer . He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1946 and was a regular at the Salon d'Automne. After having lived for several years in Algeria, and in particular at Villa Abd El Tif where he was a scholarship holder from 1946 to 1948, André Beaucé returned to France in 1949 and resumed his teaching at the Schools of Paris. His painting is then powerfully expressionist, free from any system. In the 1950s, we notice vigorous, uncompromising, intense portraits, captured in an almost caricatural way. The tones, always very mounted, are opposed with force in a composition cut with vigor. After the dark years of the war, Beaucé’s art reflects a violent vision of a certain reality that is always brutal and yet magnificent.

La obra va firmada por el artista en la parte inferior Se presenta enmarcada la pintura El estado de la obra es bueno Medidas obra: 47 x 56 cm. Medidas del marco: 71 x 80 cm. Emilio Grau Sala Nace en Barcelona en 1911. Maestro catalán de la Escuela de París, recordado por sus magníficas escenas realistas. Se forma en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Barcelona. Tras varias exposiciones en su ciudad natal y ya siendo un pintor de éxito, contrae matrimonio con la pintora Ángeles Santos Torroella. De ambos nacerá en 1937 el futuro pintor Julián Grau Santos. En 1936 expuso en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Madrid y, coincidiendo con el inicio de la Guerra Civil Española, se traslada a París. Conoció de cerca las vanguardias inclinándose por una figuración colorista, derivada del impresionismo y el fauvismo. Allí entrará rápidamente en contacto con el núcleo de artistas españoles. Realiza una pintura próxima al postimpresionismo francés, con un marcado acento lírico. En París alcanzó un gran éxito realizando multitud de exposiciones. En 1936 recibe el Premio Carnegie. Grau Sala destaca, además, como creador de escenarios teatrales y como excelente ilustrador. Fallece en Barcelona en 1975. Celebró diversas muestras individuales, sobre todo en Barcelona y París, pero también en ciudades como Nueva York, Toulouse, Londres o los Ángeles. En el 2015, su hijo Julián Grau Santos cede la obra familiar de su padre para la venta a Beatriz Bálgoma como marchante. A partir de este momento la galerista expondrá obras del artista en diversas ferias de prestigio nacionales e internacionales como Feriarte, Lisbon Art...
