Oliver Foss Paintings

French, 1920-2002

Oliver Foss studied at the Lycée Pasteur, Lycée Janson-de-Sailly, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under Paul Colin and Jean Théodore Dupas and with George Bridgman at the Art Students League of New York. Following his studies, Foss traveled to New York City where he worked with Maria Annot and Ruth Jacoby, who organized his first one-man exhibition at the Riverside Museum. Foss also exhibited at the New School for Social Research, the world's fair in 1964, National Arts Club and Alma Reed Gallery, among others. Foss moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where he taught fine arts at the Elizabethtown College until 1949 when he returned to Paris and settled into an atelier in Villa des Ternes. In 1951, Foss had a one-man exhibition tour of the United States showing in New York City, Boston, Palm Beach and Philadelphia. In 1953, he had a career-changing exhibition at the Galerie Drouant-David on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris that drew wide praise and promoters for international exhibitions that led to one-man shows in Paris, New York, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.

Funfair - 1950's French Expressionist Mid Century Oil on Canvas Painting
Located in Sevenoaks, GB
A wonderful 1950's French expressionist oil on canvas depicting figures at a busy funfair, by Parisian artist André Beaucé. Excellent quality work painted with thick impasto brush work. Signed lower centre. Artist: André Beaucé (French, 1911-1974) Title: Funfair Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 25.5 x 21 inches (65 x 54 cm) André Beaucé was a French painter born on May 23, 1911 in Rennes and died on January 2, 1974 in Paris . A pupil of the School of Fine Arts in Rennes, a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts where he was admitted in 1932, André Beaucé was a pupil in the workshops of André Lhote and Simon, with Yves Brayer . He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1946 and was a regular at the Salon d'Automne. After having lived for several years in Algeria, and in particular at Villa Abd El Tif where he was a scholarship holder from 1946 to 1948, André Beaucé returned to France in 1949 and resumed his teaching at the Schools of Paris. His painting is then powerfully expressionist, free from any system. In the 1950s, we notice vigorous, uncompromising, intense portraits, captured in an almost caricatural way. The tones, always very mounted, are opposed with force in a composition cut with vigor. After the dark years of the war, Beaucé’s art reflects a violent vision of a certain reality that is always brutal and yet magnificent.
