About the Item

Metz. Fin Juillet 1870 is a black and white etching realized by Auguste Lançon (1836-1887) in 1870. Remarkable and original example of Lançon's etched art. Beautiful artist's proof describing an ordinary life scene in the city of Metz at end of July. Hand-signed and dated by the artist on plate. Dimensions: cm 39,5 x 56. Overall good conditions, except for some discoloration on margin due to aging. Auguste Lançon (1836-1887) was a great French painter and etcher. He became famous especially for his artworks picturing military scenes, warfare and animals. During the Franco-Prussian war (1870-1871) he was appointed sergeant of a battalion; he was captured and imprisoned for a period of six months. These war-experiences inspired the creation of numerous etchings on this conflict.

Chatter by Orovida Pissarro (1893-1968) Etching 26 x 19 cm (10 ¹/₄ x 7 ¹/₂ inches) Signed and dated lower right Orovida 1927 Inscribed lower left Trial proof no. 18/25 and titled lower middle Artist biography: Orovida Camille Pissarro, Lucien and Esther Pissarro’s only child, was the first woman in the Pissarro family as well as the first of her generation to become an artist. Born in Epping, England in 1893, she lived and worked predominantly in London where she became a prominent member of several British arts clubs and societies. She first learned to paint in the Impressionist style of her father, but after a brief period of formal study with Walter Sickert in 1913 she renounced formal art schooling. Throughout her career, Orovida always remained outside of any mainstream British art movements. Much to Lucien's disappointment she soon turned away from naturalistic painting and developed her own unusual style combining elements of Japanese, Chinese, Persian and Indian art. Her rejection of Impressionism, which for the Pissarro family had become a way of life, together with the simultaneous decision to drop her famous last name and simply use Orovida as a ‘nom de peintre’, reflected a deep desire for independence and distance from the weight of the family legacy. Orovida's most distinctive and notable works were produced from the period of 1919 to 1939 using her own homemade egg tempera applied in thin, delicate washes to silk, linen or paper and sometimes embellished with brocade borders. These elegant and richly decorative works generally depict Eastern, Asian and African subjects, such as Mongolian horse...
