Gerard Valcin Art

Haitian, 1925-1988
Gérard Valcin was born in Port-au-Prince in 1925 and died on May 15, 1988. A poor young man, his first job as a tile setter helped him support his painting until he could sell. Undoubtedly this job also influenced his art, as one can witness his tightly geometrical placement of figures, blades of grass, or trees in many of his paintings. He joined the Centre d'Art in 1950 and is considered one of the most significant of Haiti's second generations of artists, an icon. His frequently concerned with voodoo imagery flows from his rich imagination. He introduced Dewitt Peters, his half-brother, Pierre-Joseph Valcin, and his nephew Favrange Valcin (Valcin II). Gerard Valcin had formed several artists, such as Madsen Mompremier, Dieudonné Rouanez, and Louis Joseph. Today, Valcin's work is included in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Art Nader and Musee d'Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in Port-au-Prince, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa. "Valcin has participated in most important exhibitions of naïve painting organized by Oto Bihalji-Mérin, museums of England, Germany, Zagreb, and Paris, and those organized by Mr. Georges S. Nader in Caracas, Santo Domingo, and New Jersey; he ranks in a good position in the book of Bihalji-Mérin entitled "Masters of Naïve Art" (Peintures Haitiennes, Editions Delroisse, VILO)

I am inspired by modern architecture as I love painting the straight lines against the softness of nature with its trees and plants and cactii.

New Orleans Packet - Eclipse

By Julian Nemethy

Located in Saratoga Springs, NY

Julien Nemethy (b. 1948) New Orleans Packet – Eclipse, 1999 Oil on canvas Sight: 22 x 28 in.; Frame: 26 x 32 in. Julien Nemethy’s New Orleans Packet – Eclipse is a richly detailed and atmospheric tribute to the golden age of American river travel, rendered with the artist’s characteristic precision and historical sensitivity. Set against a softly illuminated shoreline, the steamboat Eclipse emerges as both a technological marvel and a cultural emblem, its tiered decks, plume of smoke, and bustling activity captured with documentary clarity. Nemethy’s controlled palette—warm umbers, riverine blues, and the glow of late‑day light—infuses the composition with a sense of nostalgia, transforming the vessel into a symbol of movement, commerce, and the romance of the Mississippi. A superb example of the artist’s mature work, the painting demonstrates his ability to merge narrative realism with painterly refinement, offering a scene that is at once historically grounded and visually compelling. Provenance: Private collection, United States. Condition: The canvas presents in excellent overall condition with strong surface integrity and no visible restoration under normal viewing. Notes: Nemethy’s riverboat...

Japan Japanese Garden by French naive outsider folk art primitive artist

By Maurice Loirand

Located in Norwich, GB

A perfect painting for lovers of Japan, and for admirers of naïve or outsider art. Painted during Maurice Loirand's long residence in Japan, this charming composition reflects the deep affection he developed for his adopted country and its distinctive landscape and architecture. Maurice Loirand (1922–2008) led a remarkable life and is today recognised internationally as one of France's important naïve painters. Born into a working-class family in Brittany, near France's Atlantic coast, he began work in the shipyards at the age of fifteen. During the Second World War, he joined the French Resistance, where he met painters, poets and intellectuals who introduced him to an artistic world far removed from his origins. Entirely self-taught, Loirand devoted every spare moment to painting and soon began exhibiting alongside established artists. After moving to Paris in the 1950s, he continued to earn his living as a technician while painting through the night. In 1968, he finally became a full-time artist. International travel and numerous exhibitions followed. He exhibited in Brazil, Argentina and New York, including with the Jean Tiroche Gallery. His work has been shown alongside paintings by Léger, Matisse and Picasso, and The Collector's Guild of New York commissioned him to produce a series of lithographs. A visit to Japan transformed his life. Captivated by the country, he remained there for eighteen years and married the Japanese poet...
