Flower by Caroline Rennequin 2021 Gouache on Handmade Indian Paper
By Caroline Rennequin
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
In 2020, Caroline Rennequin painted 350 flowers. Including a series of 301 gouaches on handmade Indian paper, in a work that narrates the aesthetics of the feminine and its relationship with nature, which she endlessly colors with a living palette. Flowers with rounded and feminine contours, influenced by the 1970s. She uses gouache, an impulsive and immediate technique. A sometimes childish vocabulary in the gesture, without being regressive. Her artistic work revolves around her relationship to nature, whether real or fictitious. This work has been shown for the first time in October 2021 at Galeria Tambien...

Georges Braque Framed 'Paysage à l'Estaque' Color Lithography, circa 1906
By Georges Braque
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Step into the enchanting world of Georges Braque with the original 'Paysage à l'Estaque' color lithograph, a masterpiece painted in France circa 1906. This lithograph, edited and printed in France in the 1970s, captures the essence of Braque's artistic brilliance and is a testament to his significant contributions to Fauvism and the development of Cubism. Framed to perfection and signed in the stone, this lithograph is not just a piece of art; it's a window into the mind of a major 20th-century French painter. Georges Braque's work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso, and this piece reflects the indistinguishable nature of their Cubist works...

Oil on Canva Polo Game by Pierre Bosco-Circa 1960
By Pierre Bosco
Located in Saint Rémy de Provence, FR
Oil on canva Polo Game by Pierre Bosco (1909-1993)- Circa 1960 Signed lower right Pierre Bosco, born January 29, 1909 in Visco, in the province of Udine, and died March 3, 1993 in Vernouillet, was an Italian painter and lithographer. He is best known in the 1970s as the painter of sport and horse racing. In the 1950s, he began to achieve greater success by participating in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, where his paintings received praise. The following year, he exhibited fifty paintings at the Galerie du Hérisson in front of an enthusiastic public. The French press associates paintings from this period with "bewitching magic", and according to the poet Guy Lavaud, "Bosco is a powerful painter and a visionary." For three consecutive years, the painter was selected for the prestigious prize of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. 1956, Bosco signs a fifteen-year contract with the famous Galerie de l'Elysée in Paris for an exclusive representation. At this stage of his career, Pierre Bosco has reached a maturity appreciated by art connoisseurs as well as by the press which is unanimous in praising his "dazzling visions"; Le Figaro considers him "as one of the greatest painters of his generation" and the New York Herald sees him as "the last Picasso in perspective, and very fashionable" (May 14, 1957). In 1964, he exhibited at the Max Bodner Gallery in New York Pierre Bosco occupies a privileged place among American and European collectors, particularly in France and Italy, but also in Scandinavian countries. Many Hollywood celebrities such as Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, Jack...

André Derain Framed 'Fish and Still Life' Color Lithography, circa 1970
By André Derain
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Original 'Fish and still life' color lithograph by André Derain. Lithograph printed from an original painting made by the author in France, circa 1939. Published by Mourlot in Collection Pierre Levy in 1970, Paris. Framed and signed in the stone. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. About the Artist: André Derain (10 June 1880 – 8 September 1954) was a French artist, painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse. Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauvist movement. In March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to produce a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of which are still extant), Derain presented a portrait of London that was radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among his most popular work. Art critic T. G Rosenthal: "Not since Monet has anyone made London seem so fresh and yet remain quintessentially English. Some of his views of the Thames use the Pointillist technique of multiple dots, although by this time, because the dots have become much larger, it is rather more simply the separation of colours called Divisionism and it is peculiarly effective in conveying the fragmentation of colour in moving water in sunlight." He experimented with stone sculpture and moved to Montmartre to be near his friend Pablo Picasso and other noted artists. Fernande Olivier...
