About the Item

GENIS René (1922-2004) untitled, landscape view of the Eiffel Tower from my window. Oil on hardboard, signed lower right. Dimensions: 65x46 cm - Frame: 76.5x58 cm (30.125x52.8 in). Perfect condition. A superb painting by the French painter René Génis, a specialist in still life and landscapes, his art demonstrates an ease and rigor of drawing, drawing on the talent of a colorist who asserts himself with delicacy and elegance. The density of contrasts is enhanced by a certain simplification of forms and a flattening of pure colors where light shines. In 1950, René Génis obtained his first painting diploma (Albert Marquet class) in the studio of Marcel Gromaire (1892-1961). He assisted Jean Lurçat for a time in the creation of his tapestry cartoons. René Génis was a member of the Paris Salon d'Automne. He soon achieved international renown, and his paintings were exhibited in galleries in New York, Tokyo, Essen, Lausanne, Geneva, and Taipei. His works are now held in numerous museums, both French and foreign. René Genis was influenced by the Poetic Reality group, which included Christian Caillard, Jules Cavaillès, Raymond Legueult, Roger Limouse, Roland Oudot, and André Planson. The Swiss painter Andry acknowledges his influence.

Jean-Emile Buland studied under the painter Alexandre Cabanel and the engraver Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont. He won the 1st Grand Prix de Rome for engraving in 1880.

Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier by Édouard-Antoine Marsal (1845-1929), where he learned drawing, this draftsman and illustrator, a painter of nudes and romantic scenes, was sought after during his lifetime. He was then admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the studio of Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). He was a member of the Fine Arts admissions jury from 1913 to 1930. He began exhibiting in 1880 and became a member of the Society of French Artists. He was a friend of French President Armand Fallières. He received several medals at the Salon des Artistes Français and a silver medal at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition for his work on a panel for the pavilion of the Ministry of Colonies. The French Society of Friends of the Arts was founded in 1885 at the Palais de l'Industrie for the development of the arts, supported by numerous distinguished subscribers: Messrs.
