Gustav Bolin studied in Paris with Emile Othon Friesz at L’Académie de la Grande Chaumière. During the first years of the war, he lived in Antibes in the South of France. During this period, landscapes were his greatest source of inspiration, and he made a close study of the work of Paul Cézanne. Returning to Paris in 1943, he worked in the studio of Pierre Tal-Coat and frequented the Café de Flore, where he kept company with members of the first generation of the School of Paris, including Picasso, Nicolas de Staëll and Diego Giacometti. At this time, he painted numerous portraits of his family, friends and the artistic characters of Montmartre. The artist held his first solo exhibition at the Pierre Loeb Gallery in 1948, gaining immediate recognition from both critics and the public. The recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards, Bolin exhibited with success internationally including in Stockholm, New York and Tokyo. His work may be found in the permanent collections of national museums including the Muséed'Art Moderne, Paris. In 2006, Paris honored him with a retrospective of his work at the Salon of Tapestries and at the exhibition hall of the Louvre des Antiquaires. Bolin is listed in all relevant reference works including Benezit Dictionary of Artists, which lists a comprehensive biography that includes a signature sample.

Abstract composition, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Pierre Coquet - Abstract Composition in white shades Reference number A202 Framed with a natural oak floated frame 40 x 45 cm (45 x 50 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a board. It is signed and dated 83 in the bottom right. Pierre was very sensitive to abstract paintings. He did a lot of abstract works melting colors and shapes in different atmosphere and style. Nevertheless he could come back to figuration and again to abstraction with no precise period of time. Provenance : Workshop of the artist Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 1942 and followed the teaching of Antoine Chartres, Henri Vielly and René Chancrin. He won a prize in 1945 and joined a movement that wanted to be outside of any school whose name ends with “ism”, (like impressionism, cubism…) between figuration and the renaissance of Abstract Art, bringing together young generations under thirty and eager not to submit to any technique. The “Sanzism” (literally without « ism ») will bring together, among others, painters: James Bansac, Roger Bravard, André Chaix, Jean Mélinand, Paul Clair, André Cottavoz, Pierre Doye, Jean Fusaro, Jacques Truphémus, André Lauran, Edouard Mouriquand, Pierre Palué, Paul Philibert-Charrin, Antoine Sanner and Françoise Juvin. The latter will become his wife in 1948. In 1949, he participated in an exhibition in Geneva, at the Musée de l'Athénée, entitled "Eleven French painters" with Jacques Truphémus and Jean Fusaro. Françoise and Pierre moved to Paris in 1950. There he met Alexandre Garbell, who encouraged him and whom he attended classes in his academy on Boulevard de Clichy. Working as an art teacher at the Corvisart school in Paris he painted a lot beside this activity. His main subjects are “assemblages of objects” which evoke the memory of Giorgio Morandi, the roofs of Paris, still lifes, characters in situation, and abstraction. This sincere and modest man, turned inward in a climate of deep meditation, likes to express his feeling that “all painters encounter the same difficulties in wanting to express unspeakable emotions with painting. Everything is possible, at the condition it is true ” use to say Pierre. I have known Pierre for a long time and organized several exhibition with their paintings. I am now taking care of the whole workshop providing beautifiul figurative and abstract works, paintings and many drawings with various sizes. Pierre was always working in his workshop, everyday, he needed it, painting was something vital to him. Paintings by Pierre...

The constant search for balance between shapes and colors as well as his passion for Nicolas de Staël, André Lanskoy, Alfred Mannessier… takes him on different paths from what we know of him.

Normandie, pommier en fleurs
By Gustav Bolin
Located in Austin, TX
Oil on canvas. Signed lower left, signed and titled verso. 51.5 x 64 inches 52.25 x 64.75 inches (framed) Custom framed in a solid maple floater. Born in Stockholm in 1920 to a distinguished family of goldsmiths who had supplied the Russian tsars and the Swedish royal family for three generations, Gustav Bolin was taken to France the following year, where he would remain for the rest of his life. At the age of 18, he began working in the Paris studio of Othon Friesz, but that experience was soon interrupted by the Nazi occupation in 1940. Bolin sought refuge in the south of France, where he befriended the artists André Lhote, Alexandre Garbell, Pierre Tal-Coat and Charles Rollier, with whom he exhibited at the Musée de Valence. In 1943, before returning to Paris, he made a pilgrimage through Provence in the footsteps of Cezanne and Van Gogh. The landscapes of this region would serve as his lifelong muse, inspiring the whimsical, abstract landscapes for which he became widely acclaimed. Following Paris’ liberation by the Allies, Bolin returned to the city and immersed himself in the artistic milieu around the Café Dôme, becoming good friends with Alberto Giacometti and Nicolas de Staël. His first post-war exhibitions began in 1947 at the Salon de Mai, followed by a solo show at the avant-garde Galerie Pierre Loeb in 1948. He became a frequent exhibitor at the Galerie Art Vivant, showing with contemporaries such as de Staël, Tal-Coat, Joan Miró, Jacques Germain, and André Lanskoy, on several occasions between 1950 and 1957. This early commercial success afforded him the opportunity to purchase property along the coast in Antibes, where he could work in the Mediterranean landscape he loved. Bolin continued to participate in the Salon de Mai, and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, cementing his reputation as an evocative colorist. In 1960, 61, and 63, he was invited by the Galerie Charpentier to participate in the “Ecole de Paris” exhibitions; and at Galerie Kriegel between 1962 and 1969. Beginning in 1963, Bolin enjoyed further prominence by accepting invitations to exhibit in the U.S. with the David Findlay Gallery in New York, and also in Japan at the Nichido Gallery in Tokyo. In 1973, he was awarded a major exhibition at the Musée Galliera in back home in Paris. Bolin would continue to show widely and steadily over the remainder of his life, including a number of exhibitions in his native Sweden. Bolin died in Antibes in 1999. Today, Bolin’s work can be found in many public collections including the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, the Museum of Luxembourg, the Swedish Embassy (Paris), and the Department des Arts et des Lettres.
