About the artist:
Maurice Brianchon was born in 1899, in the town of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe. Very early on, he showed many plastic predispositions. As a result, he was accepted in 1917 at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris and joined the studio of Fernand Cormon, renowned for his history painting. A year later, he moved to the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. There he followed the education of Paul Renouard - a painter and engraver renowned for his portraits and figures of dancers - and that of Eugène Edouard Morand, a teacher since 1908. In this context, he frequented artists such as Joseph Inguimberty, or Roland Oudot, painter and lithographer, producing engravings, murals, theatre sets and book illustrations. He became friends with Raymond Legueult. He also met François Desnoyer, a figurative painter of the early 20th century, whose artistic production tended towards Fauvism and Cubism, and Jacques Adnet, a furniture designer known for his contribution to French modernism.
In 1919, his work was presented for the first time at the Salon d'Automne - an art exhibition held annually since 1903 - providing opportunities for young artists. During a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands, while surveying the cities of Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Amsterdam, the artist discovered the great figures of Dutch and Flemish painting. Having completed his training in Decorative Arts, he became a member of the committee of the Salon d'Automne in 1922. Brianchon then settles in a Parisian studio, which he shares with his friend Raymond Legueult. With him, he created the costumes for Grisélidis, at the Paris Opera, as well as the sets for the ballet La Naissance de la lyre, in 1925. The same year, he was appointed professor at the École Estienne in Paris, then at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris in 1936. His artistic production was honoured by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a scientific research foundation founded in 1902,: he received the Garden Club Prize.
In this context, his work is gaining increasing renown. However, when the Second World War broke out, Brianchon, like many of his confreres, was mobilized. He is devoted to the camouflage section of the French army. His courage and actions were then rewarded by the insignia of the Legion of Honour, a ribbon consecrating his talent and actions during the occupation.
Subsequently, in 1949, the artist was nominated professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work was noticed by the President of the Republic, Vincent Auriol, a fervent admirer of the artist, who regularly invited him to the private and official receptions he gave at the Élysée Palace. These events provide inspiration for a number of subjects, which Brianchon does not hesitate to translate on his canvases. During these events, he multiplies preparatory sketches, intended to produce finished paintings. The President of the Republic chose to reward Brianchon's work at the Paris Opera, notably the design of the sets and costumes for the Aubade ballet in 1952. He was awarded the insignia of Officer of the Legion of Honour.
His work, gaining international fame, attracts the United Kingdom. He was appointed by the Directorate of Arts and Letters to take part in the ceremonies of the coronation of Elizabeth II, to which he dedicated 8 paintings. A few years later, accompanied by his wife, Maurice Brianchon set off to explore the streets of New York in search of new sponsors. It is in the gallery David B. Findlay, that he chose to deposit thirty paintings, on the occasion of an exclusive exhibition. Deeply marked by the aesthetics of this oversized city, he endeavours to retranscribe these immense skyscrapers in his productions. Upon his return to France, Maurice Brianchon became a member of the Société des Peintres Graveurs Français.
After New York, the painter chose to exhibit in Japan in 1969. Indeed, a Japanese gallery owner.
His paintings can be found in many private and public collections, not least the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.

Verdes, Loir et Cher, France
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork titled "Verdes, Loire et Cher, France" is an original lithograph by American artist Teall (La Verne Teall) Messer, 1897-1977. It is hand signed, titled, dated and numbered 36/40 in pencil by the artist. The image size is 10.65 x 13.65 inches, the sheet size is 14 x 21.5 inches. It is in excellent condition, especially considering the age of this piece.
About the artist:
Born in Dixon Illinois in 1897, Teall Messer dropped the name Lavern as soon as he came "of age". He went to New York to be an artist and intellectual. He hung out with the playwrights of the time and ended up with an award from the Rockefellers to go to Paris and study painting. This was in the 1920's. He stayed for several years in Paris being the stereotypical American painter there. He had contact with at least some of the famous painters and shared a studio with Alexander Calder. One story was that he and Alexander were dating two French sisters. The girls' mother told them to drop the Americans as they would never make much money. That was true for Teall, not so for Calder. He also knew Brancusi well enough to have a signed sketch dedicated "á Teall Messer avec amour". He knew Gertrude Stein well enough to heartily dislike her, considering her a phony.
In France Teall married a member of the Byrd...

The Beach in Normandy, France, Near Bayeux: A 19th C. Etching by Maxime Lalanne
By Maxime Lalanne
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a mid 19th century etching entitled "Point de Depart de Guillaume de Normandie, Beuzeval, Emboucher de la Dives Calvados (The point of departure of William of Normandy (William the Conqueror)), created by Maxime Lalanne and published in 'L'Illustration Nouvelle' in 1868 by Alfred Cadart. The etching depicts the beach at Beuzeval in Normandy; with the shore in the foreground on the right lined by a row of houses, the sea at the left, and an expansive sky above. There are people on the beach and sailboats in the water. This is the point of departure of William the Conqueror for his voyage to England in 1066, resulting in his victory over the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and the establishment of Norman rule. The events are memorialized in the Bayeux tapestry, created by William's wife.
This etching is presented in a white mat that is suitable for framing. This excellent impression is printed on thick chain-linked, laid cream-colored paper with wide margins. It is signed in plate in the lower right and titled in the plate in the lower left. There is a collector's stamp (either an "NC" or a "CN") in the lower right corner. The sheet measures 9.5" high by 12.75" wide and the mat measures 13.5" high by 16" wide. There are two tiny faint spots in the periphery of the upper margin, but the print is otherwise in excellent condition. This etching is held by many museums and institutions, including The British Museum, The Yale University Art Gallery, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Columbia University Libraries and The William Morris Gallery...
