Framed Oil on Canvas, 'Lune Dormeuse Aux Champignons' by Jean Aujame

About the Item

I was delighted to find this evocative and exciting oil on canvas painting by the French Artist Jean Aujame. The piece is entitled 'Lune Dormeuse Aux Champignons', and was exhibited in his retrospective. It was painted in 1955 at the height of his painting career. I am captivated by the textures and shapes and colours used. A simple black frame sets it off perfectly. Pierre François Claude Jean Aujame (May 12, 1905 – July 5, 1965), known professionally as Jean Aujame, was a French painter. Jean Aujame was born on May 12, 1905, in Aubusson in Creuse. In 1923, he created the Society of Norman Artists. He did his military service in Algeria between 1927 and 1929, then moved to Paris in 1930. He made many exhibitions and traveled to the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. Jean Aujame lived in Sauvagnat-Sainte-Marthe in Auvergne from 1949 to 1965. He was buried in Sauvagnat. His works are preserved, among others, at the Museum of Modern Art in the city of Paris, in the museums of Albi, Grenoble and Guéret.

  • Australian Aboriginal Painting by Mabel Juli, Warmun Art Centre
    By Mabel Juli
    Located in Somerton, GB
    A beautiful natural pigment painting on canvas by renowned Aboriginal painter Mabel Juli. This piece is a dreaming story. Glingennayn is the name of the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming ) rainbow. In the Ngarranggarni the rainbow was a man. As he climbed this hill, Glingennayn heard a dog barking and turned his head around to see where the dog was. He is still there on that hill, looking for the dog. The texture created by the natural earth pigment is typical of the ancient heritage of this remarkable art movement. Mabel Juli is one of the most dedicated and iconic of all Warmun artists. Her seniority and status as one of Australia’s most revered painters has emerged from a consistent and growing body of work characterized by bold yet simple compositions that are informed by nuanced and detailed stories passed onto Mabel from her family. Mabel Juli was born at Five Mile, near Moola Boola Station (south of Warmun), and was taken as a baby to Springvale Station, her mother's country. Mabel's' bush name' is Wiringgoon. She is a strong Law and Culture woman and an important ceremonial singer and dancer. Juli started painting in the 1980s, at the same time as well-known Warmun artists Queenie McKenzie and Madigan Thomas. The women used to watch Rover Thomas...
