Alexandre Blanchet Paintings

Swiss, 1882-1961
Geneva painter and sculptor, author of numerous wall decorations, civil and religious Alongside an apprenticeship in enamel painting, Blanchet completed his training at the School of Industrial Arts in Geneva. The Lissignol scholarship, in 1905, enabled him to make a first stay in Paris, and the Diday competition, in 1906, a trip to Italy. He moved to Paris in 1907, befriending René Auberjonois and Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, for whom he illustrated Nouvelles et Pieces (1910). He therefore exhibited regularly both in Paris, where his items were praised by critics, and in Geneva and Switzerland, where collectors began to show up. His painting Les deux amies was exhibited in Paris at the Salon d'Automne in 1912, then, the following year, as part of the Armory Show in New York, where it was purchased by the collector John Quinn. Returning to Geneva in 1914, he participated in the Premier Salon des Cahiers vaudois and, the following year, in various group exhibitions in Zurich, Winterthur and Bern, where several German-speaking collectors became loyal to him, in particular Max Wassmer, his patron. From 1918, he also devoted himself to sculpture (portraits) alongside his easel work (portraits and self-portraits, landscapes, still lifes). From stays in Valais, he brought back two large paintings and, through them, affirmed his dispositions for monumental painting that he would have the opportunity to practice, as soon as he moved to Confignon in 1922, for the decoration of the Federal Tribunal in Lausanne (1925 –27), then the churches of Christ the King in Tavannes (1930), of Saint Joseph in Geneva (1943) and of the Sacred Heart in Geneva (1947). From 1930 to 1942, he taught at the Geneva School of Fine Arts. In 1944, a retrospective was dedicated to him in Basel. He received the first prize from the City of Geneva in 1947 and, until the end of the 1950s, carried out several portrait commissions. Blanchet enjoyed equal esteem on both sides of the Sarine during his lifetime. During the interwar period, he was certainly, along with the Vaudois René Auberjonois and the Genevan Maurice Barraud, the French-speaking painter most regularly summoned to represent his country in major Swiss art exhibitions organized abroad. The beginnings of his career were marked by the unmistakable influence of Hodler. Cézanne's revelation in Paris in 1907, however, encouraged him to reorient his art in a more "Latin" direction. From the first, he still retains for a few years the outline and certain Symbolist subjects (even if he attributes them purely descriptive titles); the second, it adopts the modulated application of color to build the shape of the interior on an absorbent canvas accentuating the mattness of the material. In 1913, a few paintings even revealed the ephemeral temptation to pursue the analysis of form in the manner of early Cubism. This "hybridization of Swiss art by France" will be greatly appreciated by collectors, especially German-speaking ones.

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Frame size 70x61 cm. José Muntané Balaguer (1889 - 1963) Immerse yourself in the spiritual beauty of "Woman Praying," a sublime work by the acclaimed Spanish artist José Muntané Balaguer. This oil on canvas captures the serenity and introspection of faith, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow reminiscent of great masters such as Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga, and even the emotional restraint of Diego Velázquez in his most intimate portraits. The painting depicts the purity of a devotional moment, where the female figure seems to transcend the canvas, inviting the viewer to reflect on spirituality and human connection. The meticulous attention to detail and subtlety in expressions place Muntané Balaguer in the tradition of artists who immortalized scenes of everyday life with unique sensitivity, much like Julio Romero de Torres...
