  • An attractive original sketch celebrating Marechal Foch
    au Marechal Foch Ta France reconnaissante by LESUR, Henri Victor.
    LESUR, Henri Victor.
    au Marechal Foch Ta France reconnaissante To Field Marshal Foch, from a grateful France

    Paris: N/P. A skilfully executed ink sketch done by Lesur in August 1918. The victory over Germany is coming closer, and Marechal Foch is presented to France, represented and embodied by Marianne. In the background to the right is a soldier, with an angel standing by him, hand on his shoulder (presumably he is a fallen son of France). The angel also holds his other hand above Foch, pointing at him. To the left, is a triumphal arch, with the sun setting below it. General Foch was promoted to Marechal in August 1918, and it is likely that this is what is celebrated here. The paper is slightly darkened, and there is a crease to the centre. A simple…

General Foch was promoted to Marechal in August 1918, and it is likely that this is what is celebrated here. The paper is slightly darkened, and there is a crease to the centre. A simple celebration of victory by a significant French artist. The frame is an ornate gilt frame, with glass. In very good condition, with a few bumps / nicks to the the frame only. Overall in very good condition. Sketch is 20cm x 29cm, Frame is 26cm x 35cm.

    Henri Victor Lesur (1863-1937), was a French artist born in Roubaix. Lesur trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and was a pupil of François Flameng. He was active in the French art scene, particularly towards the end of the 19th century, and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1887 to 1895. Lesur's work is characterized by elegant genre scenes and portraits, often inspired by the style of 18th-century French artists such as Watteau, Boucher, and Fragonard. Lesur's paintings often depicted scenes reminiscent of bygone luxury and playful Parisian society, created as a form of escapism for viewers and collectors. He continued to produce art until his death in 1937. Lesur's work is sometime signed as V. H. Lesur.

    . Une esquisse à l'encre réalisée avec talent par Lesur en août 1918. La victoire sur l'Allemagne se profile, et le maréchal Foch est présenté à la France, incarnée par Marianne. À l'arrière-plan, à droite, se tient un soldat, aux côtés duquel se tient un ange, la main posée sur son épaule (il s'agit sans doute d'un fils de la France tombé au combat). L'ange tient également son autre main au-dessus de Foch, le désignant du doigt. À gauche, on aperçoit un arc de triomphe, avec le soleil se couchant en dessous. Le général Foch a été promu maréchal en août 1918, et c'est probablement cet événement qui est célébré ici. Le papier est légèrement foncé et présente un pli au centre. Une célébration simple de la victoire par un artiste français de renom. Le cadre est un cadre doré orné, avec du verre. En très bon état, avec quelques bosses / éraflures sur le cadre uniquement. Dans l'ensemble, en très bon état. L'esquisse mesure 20 cm x 29 cm, le cadre mesure 26 cm x 35 cm.

    Henri Victor Lesur (1863-1937) est un artiste français né à Roubaix. Lesur a été formé à l'École des Beaux-Arts et a été l'élève de François Flameng. Il est actif sur la scène artistique française, en particulier vers la fin du XIXe siècle, et expose régulièrement au Salon de Paris de 1887 à 1895. L'œuvre de Lesur se caractérise par des scènes de genre et des portraits élégants, souvent inspirés du style d'artistes français du XVIIIe siècle tels que Watteau, Boucher et Fragonard. Les tableaux de Lesur dépeignent souvent des scènes rappelant le luxe d'antan et la société parisienne enjouée, créés comme une forme d'évasion pour les spectateurs et les collectionneurs. Il a continué à produire des œuvres d'art jusqu'à sa mort en 1937. Les œuvres de Lesur sont parfois signées V. H. Lesur.

À l'intérieur, le portfolio contient un titre et 24 autres feuilles, certaines imprimées recto verso, mais la plupart uniquement au recto. La page de titre (à l'intérieur) est une plaque gravée, avec une jolie vignette. Elle présente quelques rousseurs. En plus des feuilles gravées, il y a sept pages gravées imprimées sur un fond crème/jaune. Le portfolio semble contenir plus que ce que suggère la page de titre. La plupart des pages sont propres et bien rangées à l'intérieur, avec seulement quelques rousseurs et marques. À l'intérieur de la couverture avant se trouve l'ex-libris de Friedrich Preller le Jeune (1838-1901).

Akt 29. Szene); #12. Schluss-Apotheose, (2. Akt 31. Szene). Schwind, the Romantic, was himself devoted with all his soul to the sister art; Not only did he like to practise, his whole being was absorbed in music. The laws of beauty seemed to him to be fulfilled more nobly than in the works of contemporary visual art in the classical musical compositions of Mozart and Beethoven, with whom he was well acquainted. What he sought there in vain: depth of feeling, clarity of expression, nobility of form, here he found it expressed. Schwind was influenced by his circle of friends with and around Franz Schubert and Franz von Schober. He took part in the "Schubertiades" (1821-1828), belonged to a reading society founded in 1822, whose members gave themselves names from the Nibelungenlied - Schubert was called "Volker the Singer" and Schwind "Giselher the Child" because of his youth - and repeatedly illustrated the same originals "that had also inspired his friend Schubert to musical utilisation" (e.g. Goethe's ballads "An Schwager Kronos", "Der Erlkönig", "Der Schatzgräber").

Brangwyn's relationship with one of his admirers and supporters, the Belgian poet Emile Verhaeren, led to his being commissioned to create multiple illustrations for Verhaeren's poetry book, Les Villes Tentaculaires

Bien que né en Belgique, sa famille est retournée au Pays de Galles en 1875 où il a reçu son éducation artistique, d'abord avec son père, puis avec le célèbre artiste William Morris. La relation de Brangwyn avec l'un de ses admirateurs et partisans, le poète belge Emile Verhaeren, lui vaut d'être chargé de créer de nombreuses illustrations pour le recueil de poèmes de Verhaeren, Les Villes Tentaculaires.

Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939) was a pioneering French art dealer, collector, publisher, and writer, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the promotion of modern art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vollard played a crucial role in shaping the careers of many now-renowned artists. He is credited with discovering and promoting figures such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Vincent van Gogh. His gallery on Rue Laffitte in Paris became a hub for avant-garde art exhibitions, hosting groundbreaking shows such as Cézanne's first major exhibition in 1895, Picasso's first solo exhibition in 1901, and Matisse's exhibition in 1904. In addition to his work as a dealer, Vollard was an avid publisher of illustrated books and print series. He collaborated with artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Marc Chagall to produce works like Les Fleurs du mal and Fables de La Fontaine. Vollard also commissioned Picasso to create the celebrated "Vollard Suite," a set of 100 etchings.

    . Première édition. Un des 625 exemplaires (ici 289), sur vergé de Rives. Avec le portrait de Vollard par Raoul Dufy, signé dans la plaque de cuivre, en frontispice et avec un second portrait de Vollard par Auguste Renoir reproduit plus loin dans le texte. Un catalogue raissonnee complet des "éditions Vollard" superbement éditées jusqu'à l'année 1930, y compris les œuvres illustrées publiées par Vollard. Couvertures originales en papier crème. Celles-ci sont un peu froissées sur les bords et il y a un petit trou / déchirure avec une légère perte, sur le bord arrière. Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est en très bon état. L'intérieur est en bon état, propre et bien rangé. Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) était un marchand d'art, collectionneur, éditeur et écrivain français pionnier, largement considéré comme l'une des figures les plus influentes dans la promotion de l'art moderne à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. Vollard a joué un rôle crucial dans l'orientation de la carrière de nombreux artistes aujourd'hui renommés. On lui attribue la découverte et la promotion de personnalités telles que Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault et Vincent van Gogh. Sa galerie de la rue Laffitte à Paris est devenue une plaque tournante pour les expositions d'art d'avant-garde, accueillant des expositions révolutionnaires telles que la première grande exposition de Cézanne en 1895, la première exposition personnelle de Picasso en 1901 et l'exposition de Matisse en 1904. En plus de son travail de marchand, Vollard était un éditeur passionné de livres illustrés et de séries d'estampes. Il collabore avec des artistes tels que Pierre Bonnard et Marc Chagall pour produire des œuvres comme Les Fleurs du mal et Fables de La Fontaine. Vollard a également commandé à Picasso la célèbre "Suite Vollard", un ensemble de 100 eaux-fortes. 72 pages. En grande partie non coupé. 29 cm x 23,5 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 31881929.
