Maurice Denis
Painter, engraver and decorator, Maurice Denis. French artist, born in November 1870 in Granville in Normandy and died in November 1943. He studied at the Lycée Condorcet in Paris, then simultaneously at the École des beaux-arts and at the Académie Julien.
However, Denis did not recognize himself in the naturalist style promoted by his teachers, so he formed Les Nabis with other artists such as Paul Sérusier, Pierre Bonnard and Paul Elie Ranson. This group and artistic movement claims symbolism, partly inspired by Paul Gauguin and Émile Bernard. Denis and the Nabis have a characteristic style which consists of the application of large areas of paint and the use of radical and unusual colors. Denis is a very productive painter. He exhibited numerous works alongside those of other Symbolists and Neo-Impressionists during the 1890s. A characteristic work of this period is Spring (1897) which is now part of the permanent collection of the Met in New York. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Denis exhibited his work regularly, both at the Salon de la Société Nationale and at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914, he purchased and began the restoration of a 17th century priory in Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris. In 1980, the priory was transformed into a museum, dedicated to the works of Denis and more generally to the Nabi movement. The priory is renamed the Priory Departmental Museum. Denis' works have also been exhibited at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England.

- Nu Assise by Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro - Nude drawingBy Ludovic-Rodo PissarroLocated in London, GBNu Assise by Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro (1878-1952) Charcoal on paper 31.3 x 24.2 cm (12 ⅜ x 9 ½ inches) Signed lower right, L.Rodo This work of art is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed and dated by Lélia Pissarro. Artist biography: Ludovic-Rodolphe Pissarro, born in Paris in 1878, was Camille Pissarro’s fourth son. Encouraged by his father, he began drawing from nature at an early age. He was familiarly known as “Rodo” and generally signed his works "Ludovic-Rodo", or early on in his career simply "Rodo". The impact of Camille’s art and teaching on Rodo was considerable. His artistic production encompassed a wide range of media, including oil painting, tempera, watercolour, gouache, wood engraving, drawing and lithography. Rodo exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants over a forty-year period. In 1894, at the age of sixteen, Rodo published his first wood engravings in the anarchist journal, Le Père Peinard. When Camille left France for the safety of Belgium during the anarchist upheavals of the same year, Rodo joined him there. Rodo moved into his first studio in Montmartre with his brother Georges in 1898. Works of this early important period until just after the death of his father in 1903 were post-impressionist and clearly painted under the influence of his father. By 1904 living in Paris, he found the nightlife and the habitués of the cafes, theatres, circuses and cabarets compelling subjects for his work and changed dramatically the style of his painting, affiliating himself to the Fauve artists. Rodo became close to artists such as Kees Van Dongen, Maurice de Vlaminck and Raoul Dufy. In 1905 he participated in the first Fauve exhibition at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1907 he visited Van Dongen in Rotterdam and the two artists continued to paint together, something they often did in Paris. In 1914 he married, though he never had children. Later that year at the outbreak of the War Rodo moved to England. Over the next seven years he lived mainly in and around West London. He worked closely with his brother Lucien to establish in 1915 the Monarro Group, formed with the aim of exhibiting work by contemporary artists inspired by Impressionism. Many of the works produced by Rodo while he was in England were of London landmarks but, he was also interested in the urbanisation of West London. After 1921, when Rodo had already returned to France, he divided his time between Paris and Les Andelys in Normandy, living and working closely with his elder brother Georges Manzana. Despite his rich artistic heritage and his achievements as an artist, Rodo is perhaps best remembered for his contribution to art history. For ten years he researched and compiled a catalogue of his father’s paintings...Category

- 'The Agony in the Garden', Paris, Salon d’Automne, Section d'Or, GethsemaneBy Jais NielsenLocated in Santa Cruz, CASigned lower left, 'Jais' for Johannes Knud Ove Jais-Nielsen (Danish, 1885-1961) and dated 1938. A powerful figural work showing a view of Jesus kneeling in the Garden of Gethsemane on the evening before his trial and execution. Born in Denmark, Jais Nielsen initially studied at Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler under Kristian Zahrtmann and exhibited for the first time at the 1907 Autumn Salon at the Charlottenborg Palace. Nielsen participated in the early and groundbreaking, “Group of Thirteen" Modernist show, where his focus on dynamic figural painting and his bold use of color set him dramatically apart from his contemporaries. From 1907-11, Nielsen's use of 'primitive' Fauve colors would continue to reinforce his break with traditional Danish painting. During this period, he made study excursions to important art centres, including, in 1909, to Berlin. In 1911, he moved to Paris where he settled in the Latin Quarter near the Musée Cluny. His first formal Paris exhibition was at the Salon d’Automne of 1912. During this first Paris period, Nielsen attended meetings of the Section d’Or at the studio of Jacques Villon and, as a result, began to incorporate subtle, yet distinct, Cubist elements into his work. With the outbreak of World War One, Nielsen returned to Copenhagen, taking with him both his increasing compositional sophistication and a thorough understanding of the principles of Modernism. During this period, ports, dance and circus life became subjects of interest and he painted many canvases in the style of Analytic Cubism, of which he became the earliest and, arguably, the finest Danish exponent. From 1915 onwards, Nielsen also created Cubist sculptures and, from 1922-28, was employed as a sculptor by the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory. Here, he produced a series of ceramic sculptures on Biblical themes which included the Good Samaritan and several versions of Jacob Wrestling with the Angel...Category
