About the Item

Patrick Boudon. Inner Family. Post-war Expressionism. 1970s. Patrick Boudon. Art Informel. Ecole de Paris. Technique: oil on cardboard. This painting by Patrick Boudon from the 1970s, entitled "Inner Family," depicts a family with a man, a woman, and a child, whose exaggeratedly large heads suggest a deep introspection on human existence. This painting, or inner portrait, painted by Patrick Boudon in the 1970s is very close to Art Informel, or "informal art," an artistic movement that developed in Europe after World War II. Characterized by expressive freedom and a break from traditional forms. Patrick Boudon, a distinguished artist born in 1944 in Florac, Lozère, was recognized for his exceptional talent in drawing from a young age. His artistic journey truly began in 1962 when he enrolled at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, completing his studies in 1965. Boudon's first exhibition took place in 1963 at the Raymond Duncan gallery in Paris. Over the years, Boudon's work has gained international recognition, with exhibitions held in prestigious venues such as the Mafalda Davis Gallery in New York and the Salsomaggiore Gallery in Italy. His global presence continued to expand with a notable exhibition at the Fiera de Santana museum in Brazil in 1982. In the 1970s, Boudon embarked on an ambitious venture by establishing the GAMP (Galleries - Modern Workshops of Paris), a creative hub where artists from various disciplines converged and created. Initially known for his vibrant abstract paintings, Boudon's style evolved significantly after an encounter with Picasso, who introduced figurative elements into his art. His signature style featured exaggerated heads and hands and recurring motifs, often exploring the complexities of human relationships. Tragically, a significant portion of Boudon's work was lost in a fire that destroyed his studio. He died in Montmartre, Paris, in 2019, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and artistic exploration.

  • Spanish school. Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, bishop of Córdoba.
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Portrait of Francisco de Reynoso y Baeza.   Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos and bishop of Córdoba. Francisci de Reynoso. Early 17th century. Small-format portrait from the late Renaissance period. Spanish school. Size: Cm 19 x Cm 13.5 Oil on wooden panel. On the back the fine tablet is strengthened (already in ancient times) by a sheet of parchment. About 1600-1610. As often in Mannerist / Late Renaissance portraits, the image of the character is accompanied by the writing that runs at the top, adding a celebratory, historicising touch to the effigy. Let's bring back the sentence here: DON FRANCISCO DE REINOSO. CAMARERO SECRETO IESCALCO PIO QUINTO OBISCOPO CORDOBA. 68 (? O 7?) (1534, Autillo de Campos, Spain - 1601, Córdoba) Francisco de Reynoso was a Spanish cleric, chief chamberlain, and secretary to Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, and bishop of Córdoba. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father was the seventh Lord of Autillo de Campos, and his mother was Juana de Baeza y de las Casas, daughter of Manuel de Baeza, a lawyer of the Royal Council and at the Court of Valladolid. Francisco de Reynoso was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and showed a strong inclination toward religion and piety from an early age. He studied Latin, arts, and theology at the University of Salamanca. In 1562, he traveled to Rome with his brothers Pedro and Luis. In January 1566, following the death of Pope Pius IV, Cardinal Antonio Michele Ghislieri was elected pope, becoming Pius V. From this period until Ghislieri's death in 1572, Francisco de Reynoso served as his chief chamberlain and secretary. After Pope Pius V died, Francisco de Reynoso returned to Spain and lived for several years in the city of Palencia, where his brother Manuel was a canon. He supported the Society of Jesus when it was established in Palencia, providing alms to the school's clergy and funding chairs of Letters and Theology at his own expense, as well as donating a significant number of books. During the brief outbreak of the Black Plague...
