Pierre-Laurent Brenot (1913-1998) In 1928, he entered the École Estienne where he attended classes for three years. Then he continued his training as a designer with Fernand Hertenberger. Pierre-Laurent Brenot's gifts of observation and precision in his pencil stroke were immediately noticed.During the fashion years (from 1936 to 1950),he was hired by Monsieur Chatard, a great tailor for men and women, in his Fashionable store, at number 16 boulevard Montmartre. He then created a line of men's suits. On his momentum, he produced numerous fashion designs for other great couturiers (Christian Dior, Jacques Fath, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Nina Ricci, Jeanne Lafaurie ...) as well as for the Lanvin and Rochas houses, or for milliners (Maude and Mano, Legroux, Paulette). From 1944, he began a career as a poster artist and illustrator. However, with the rise of photography in the sixties, this activity was reduced. Pierre-Laurent Brenot then reoriented himself towards his initial vocation as an artist-painter.

- Quiet Contemplation: Rural Serenity in Hagborg's WatercolorBy August HagborgLocated in Stockholm, SEThe artwork we present is a rare watercolor by the distinguished Swedish artist August Hagborg, painted in the later part of his career between 1910 and 1920. This watercolour is a departure from Hagborg's often-seen beach scenes with mussel pickers and instead offers a glimpse into a serene, pastoral moment. The scene is set against a timber house, with a man and a woman standing alongside, their gazes directed away from the viewer, which invites contemplation about the story behind their distant stares. Watercolors by Hagborg are rare, making this piece particularly special. Its fine details suggest a mastery of the medium, likely honed over the years of his extensive career. A written letter from Göteborgs Konstmuseum, dated to the 1940s, suggests a later date for this piece. August Hagborg, born on May 26, 1852, in Gothenburg and passed away on April 30, 1921, in Paris, was a renowned figure in the art world. His education at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1871 to 1874 placed him among peers who would rise to prominence, such as Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. Moving to Paris in the fall of 1875, Hagborg initially painted within the costume genre before finding his niche in coastal landscapes that garnered him accolades and recognition. Hagborg's success was punctuated by his 1879 painting...Category
