About the Item
Jean Lafon, alias Keuleyan-Lafon (1886 Paris - 1973)
SUNSET AT AGAY
Painted in the 1910s
Oil on canvas, 38 x 54 cm
signed lower right: Keuleyan
Jean Lafon was born into a family of artists. He was the son of the history and church painter François Lafon and grandson of the history painter Jacques-Emile Lafon. To avoid being confused with his father, he called himself Keuleyan-Lafon or just Keuleyan and worked exclusively as a landscape and marine painter. He specialized in picturesque sunsets by the sea and coasts in the moonlight. His paintings hang in French museums and are regularly traded. They often depict the bizarre coast near
Agay on the Côte d'Azur with its red rocks, which was painted by all the great Impressionists including
Monet, Guillaumin and Valtat. The fact that the color of the rocks in the present painting tends towards violet is due to the evening or moonlight. This painting, signed Keuleyan at the bottom right, was probably painted around 1910, but certainly before the First World War. After the war, during
which he was taken prisoner by the Germans, the artist signed Lafon.
Jean Lafon, alias Keuleyan-Lafon (1886 Paris – 1973)
SONNENUNTERGANG BEI AGAY
Gemalt in den 1910er Jahren
Öl auf Leinwand, 38 x 54 cm
Signiert rechts unten: Keuleyan
Jean Lafon wurde in eine Künstlerfamilie hineingeboren. Er war der Sohn des Historien- und
Kirchenmalers François Lafons und Enkel des Historienmalers Jacques-Emile Lafon. Um nicht mit seinem Vater verwechselt zu werden, nannte er sich Keuleyan-Lafon oder nur Keuleyan und arbeitete
ausschließlich als Landschafts- und Marinemaler. Spezialisiert war er auf malerische
Sonnenuntergänge am Meer und Küsten im Mondlicht. Seine Gemälde hängen in französischen Museen und werden regelmäßig gehandelt. Häufig zeigen sie, wie auch das vorliegende, die bizarre Küste bei Agay an der Côte d’Azur mit ihren roten Felsen, die von allen großen Impressionisten wie
Monet, Guillaumin, Valtat gemalt wurde. Dass die Felsfarbe auf dem vorliegenden Bild ins Violette tendiert, ist auf das Abend- bzw. Mondlicht zurückzuführen. Dieses rechts unten Keuleyan signierte
Gemälde dürfte gegen 1910, mit Sicherheit aber vor dem 1. Weltkrieg gemalt worden sein. Nach dem Krieg, in dem er in deutsche Gefangenschaft geriet, signierte der Künstler mit Lafon.
