Georges Lucien Guyot was born on December 10, 1885, in Paris. He died in 1973. He was a 20th century French painter, animal sculptor, engraver and illustrator. He was a student of musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. He exhibited in Paris, first at the Le Salon des Artistes Français, then at the Société du Salon d'automne. He was invited to the Salon des Tuileries and appeared at the Le Salon des peintres témoins de leur temps. In 1943, the Salon des Indépendants devoted an overall exhibition to him. He worked at the "Bateau-Lavoir" on Rue Ravignan for 52 years, until the fire destroyed his place. He waited for 85 years, in 1970, to see the first exhibition of his works. As a painter, he was not limited to animals. He worked during his young age on landscapes of the Rouen region, then views of the Ile de France and Montmartre where he lived. He illustrated De Goupil to Louis Margot by Louis Pergaud, and The Book of Beasts called savage André Demaison. All his life, he leaned over the study of animals, whose moving psychology he knew how to understand.

EMIL GANSO "SEATED NUDE" CHARCOAL WITH COLOR WASH, SIGNED AMERICAN, C.1930 21.5 X 15.5 INCHES Biography from Butler Institute of American Art Emil Ganso 1885-1941 Ganso was born in Germany in 1895. At age 14, he apprenticed to a baker and then worked his way to America when he was 17. He worked in bakeries in Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Cincinnati and Akron, Ohio. By 1916, Ganso was out of a job, and living the life of a bohemian in New York City, sometimes on less than 30 cents a week. In 1921, Ganso painted on a realistic nude on a bedsheet and was forced by the police to remove it from an exhibition. The bedsheet with the painting was later stolen. He soon had a job baking again at $140 a month, and with time to spare for painting and study. Ganso quit baking in 1925 when a New York dealer game him financial backing of $50 a week. Ganso has prospered from his art ever since. His work is in over 15 American museums, and the Print Club of Cleveland awarded him a $500 purchase prize for a wood engraving. A versatile artist, he paints a variety of subjects. Source: from a profile written by Clyde Singer...

Mid Century French School Male Female Nude Figure Studies Drawing
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Mid Century French School Male Female Nude Figure Studies Drawing Medium: Charcoal and graphite on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Good overall with visible age toning light creasing minor edge wear and slight surface marks consistent with age and studio handling Description: A compelling mid century French School academic life drawing depicting a seated male and female nude figure study rendered in expressive charcoal and graphite. The composition presents both figures in a natural seated pose, their bodies angled toward one another, creating a subtle sense of interaction and structural balance. The female figure is modelled with soft tonal shading and careful contour, her posture relaxed yet grounded. In contrast, the male figure is defined through sharper linear construction and angular modelling, highlighting musculature and anatomical structure. The interplay between the two forms gives the sheet compositional depth and visual rhythm. The artist employs confident cross hatching and layered charcoal strokes to build volume, while retaining the immediacy characteristic of a working atelier study. The restrained monochrome palette focuses attention on form, proportion and movement. Likely produced during a formal life drawing session in a mid twentieth century French studio, the sheet retains visible paper toning and light handling wear that reinforce its authenticity. This dual figure composition will particularly appeal to collectors of mid century modern works on paper, French academic nude...
