Gustav BOLIN Art
Swedish, 1920-1999
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.

Pierre Coquet – Abstract Composition

67 x 54 cm frame included (62 x 49 cm without frame)
This work is painted with oil on a paper that is mounted on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature 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.
Abstract paintings by Pierre Coquet represent a large part of his production.
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.
His way of painting is strong and thoughtful, the lines stretch out and the harmonious touches, applied with sobriety, reveal a great sense of color.
Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back)
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...

Medieval Castle on a Cliff by the Sea on North Coast of Ireland by Irish Artist
Located in Preston, GB
Medieval Castle on a Cliff by the Sea on North Coast of Ireland by 20th Century Irish Artist, John Wright. An impressionistic impasto original oil painting of Dunce Castle, used in Game of Thrones.
Art measures 24 x 18 inches
Frame measures 34 x 28 inches
This vibrant painting captures the dramatic beauty of a rugged coastal scene, dominated by an ancient castle perched atop a rocky cliff. The artist's dynamic brushwork and bold use of color bring the landscape to life, with the turquoise and blue hues of the sea contrasting against the warm, sunlit rocks and castle walls. The swirling water and textured rocks in the foreground add depth and movement, making the scene both captivating and lively. Encased in a classic gold-trimmed frame, this artwork is a striking piece that will add a touch of historical grandeur and natural beauty to any space.
Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland, the seat of Clan MacDonnell. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland. The castle is surrounded by extremely steep drops on either side, which may have been an important factor to the early Christians and Vikings who were drawn to this place where an early Irish fort once stood.
Dunluce is one of the most picturesque and romantic of Irish Castles. With evidence of settlement from the first millennium, the present castle ruins date mainly from the 16th and 17th Centuries. It was inhabited by both the feuding McQuillan and MacDonnell clans.
Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, built the first castle at Dunluce, In the 13th century. The earliest features of the castle are two large drum towers about 9 metres (30 ft) in diameter on the eastern side, both relics of a stronghold built here by the McQuillans after they became lords of the "an Rúta" (territory) in the early 1500s.
Later Dunluce Castle became the home of the chief of the Clan MacDonnell of Antrim and later John Mor MacDonald the 6th chief Clan Donald of Scotland. In 1584 with the passing off John Mor MacDonald, the Antrim Glens and Castle were seized by Sorley Boy MacDonnell, making it the seat again solely of the MacDonnell Clan. Sorley Boy took the castle, keeping it for himself and improving it in the Scottish style. Sorley Boy swore allegiance to the crown and his son Randal was made 1st Earl of Antrim by King James I.
The Girona, a galleass (Ship) from the Spanish Armada, was wrecked in a storm on the rocks at Lacada Point on the night of 26 October 1588. Cannons from the ship were installed in the gatehouses and the rest of the cargo sold, funding restoration of the castle.
Dunluce Castle served as the seat of the Earl of Antrim until the impoverishment of the MacDonnells in 1690, following the Battle of the Boyne...

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.
