About the Item
The aesthetics of the human figure in art offer a captivating perspective for artists and enthusiasts, a delicate balance between simplicity and subtlety. In this oil painting, a young boy who breathes freedom and seems untamable radiates with a singular force of aura. Everything is studied, including the background and subject, in the same way, and similar colors, tones of green-blue and yellow-beige, are highlighted by the hues of the skin and a brighter shirt. The silhouette is outlined in black. The artist chose to integrate a background into the nuances of the pants, abolishing any perspective. There is something sad of a time gone by and a feeling of waiting. His face is at a 3/4 angle. This power of angular incidence possessed by the oblique axis can energize the space, infusing the work with a cinematic atmosphere.
Each portrait harbors a concealed narrative. Then, the story no longer solely belongs to the artist but also to those who become privy to it. The synthesis of figurative work in art is thus not an isolated act of creation but a dance between the artist, the model, and the viewer, each participating, interpreting, and understanding, demystifying a piece of life woven in light and shadows.
The painting is signed, but the artist's name remains challenging to decipher, creating another mystery to unravel.

- Le Cadre Noir de Saumur - Expressionist Oil, Figures on Horse by André BrasilierBy André BrasilierLocated in Marlow, BuckinghamshireSigned oil on canvas circa 1965 by French expressionist painter Andre Brasilier. The work depicts four military men in French naval uniform on black horses. A wonderful piece in the artist's distinctive style. Signature: Signed: Signed lower left Dimensions: Framed size: 28"x32" Unframed: 20"x24" Provenance: Private French collection André Brasilier was the son of the painter Jacques Brasilier. After studying in Saumur and St-Germain-en-Laye, he joined Brianchon's studio in 1949 at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was awarded the Prix Florence-Blumenthal in 1952 and the Grand Prix de Rome in 1953. He lived at the Villa de' Medicis from 1954 to 1957. He also received the Prix Charles-Morellet at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture in 1961 and the Prix de Villeneuve-sur-Lot in 1962. Brasilier's paintings are populated by beautiful, elegant women, respectable nudes and high-class gentlemen and are set in pleasant Val-de-Loire backgrounds, resplendent with landscapes and charming towns. Revealing the distant inspiration of Gauguin and the well-assimilated influence of certain other artists, Brasilier depicts a peaceful, comfortable world, free from care, in a very simple, stylish manner, with delicate harmonies bathed in accommodating sunlight. Brasilier took part in group exhibitions from 1956, including many in Paris: at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture; regularly at the Salon d'Automne; at the École de Paris exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier (1954-1957); at the Paris Biennale (1961 and 1963); and at the Salon Comparaisons (1961-1964). Mainly, however, he showed his work in solo exhibitions, including: at the Galerie Drouet in Paris (1959); at the Galerie Weil in Paris (1960 and 1964); at the David B. Finlay Gallery in New York (1962, 1971 and 1974); at the Atelier Mourlot in Paris (1964); at the Galerie Guiot in Paris (1967); at the Galerie de Paris (1969, 1972 and 1976); at the Yoshii Gallery in Tokyo (1969, 1974 and 1977); at the Galerie Matignon in Paris (1979); a first retrospective at the Château de Chenonceau in Paris (1980); at the Nichido Gallery in Tokyo (1983); a retrospective at the Musée Picasso in Antibes...Category
