Georges Dayez Art

French, 1907-1991

Georges Dayez was a well-known and prolific, mid-century French painter, who produced figurative and abstract compositions executed in his own unique modernist, Cubist-inspired style. Dayez was born in Paris in 1907 to a commercial printer, who moved the family to Vaires-sur-Marne in 1909. He received a traditional French education through which he was introduced to drawing, painting and fine art. Dayez worked with his father in a print shop and took evening drawing classes taught by the sculptor Henry Arnold (the future artists Yves Brayer, Robert Humblot, Raymond Corbin and Raymond Martin were his fellow students). Unable to afford the tuition of the academies of Montparnasse, the popular painter Lucien Smith permitted Dayez to audit his atelier in 1926. While in Paris, Dayez attended the prestigious yet free École des Beaux-arts. The artist debuted at the Salon d’Automne, the first independent and progressive exhibition venue in Paris in 1928, and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon de Mai throughout his long and prolific career. Dayez also used his artistic proficiency in painting and drawing to design tapestries for the Mobilier National, which governs the Gobelins and Beauvais manufactories, and a vast mosaic for the Lycée Français in Lisbon.

"Venice Canal, Italy" Claude Venard, French Post-Cubist Mid-Century Modern

By Claude Venard

Located in New York, NY

Claude Venard (French, 1913 - 1999) Venice Canal, Italy, circa 1950-55 Oil on canvas 24 x 24 inches Signed lower center Provenance: Private Collection, Massachusetts The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Galerie Felix Vercel. Claude Venard was a notable exponent of the French mid-century post-Cubist movement. He was born to bourgeois parents from Burgogne in Paris, on March 21, 1913. At the age of 17, he enrolled and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, but remained for only two days, not adhering to the school's academic style. Instead, he spent the following six years at the École des Arts Appliqués, taking evening classes and embracing the contemporary Parisian art scene, all the while becoming recognized in its circles. Not able to support himself as an artist, by 1936 he found employment as a restorer at the Louvre, further honing his artistic skills. Paris of the period was dominated by an art trend that strongly favored abstraction. Following a group show at the Galerie Billet-Worms in 1935, art critic Waldemar George declared: "Let's be young again! Painting is not dead… Its course has not stopped. Forces Nouvelles is born." Venard contributed and initially adhered to the strict disciplines of the Forces Nouvelle group. But as with many of his fellow members, he soon abandoned it seeking individual expression. Following WWII, Venard rekindled friendships with past Forces Nouvelles members, joining Pierre Tal-Coat, André Marchand, André Civet...
