Jacques Emile Blanche
Sunflower Floral Arrangement - French 1930's Art Deco flower oil painting

Circa 1930

About the Item

This vibrant French Art Deco floral oil painting is by noted French artist Jacques Emile Blanche. Painted circa 1930, the palette is of wonderful tones of yellow and orange with splashes of green and typical Blanche heavy impasto. The composition is a floral bouquet consisting of sunflowers, red hot pokers and dahlias against an orange and gold background and in a stunning black and gold vase. This is an excellent radiant example of Blanche's work and a good size. Signed lower right. Provenance. Swiss estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 39 inches by 33 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a complementary frame, 45 inches by 39 inches and in good condition. Jacques Emile Blanche (1861-1942). Blanche was born in Paris, the son of a society neurologist. He was a French painter of portraits and landscapes. He enjoyed fashionable success during his lifetime. From 1884 he visited England almost every year, where he regularly submitted work for exhibition. Blanche’s parents kept a house at Dieppe which was a centre for the town’s social scene, as was Blanche’s studio there at Le Bas Fort Blanc. In Dieppe in the mid-1880s Blanche encountered a cross-section of artists and cultural critics, including George Moore, Arthur Symons, Aubrey Beardsley and Charles Conder, as well as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Paul Helleu and André Gide. When he visited Dieppe in 1885 Walter Sickert visited Blanche, although it seems likely they had met for the first time earlier the same year in London. Blanche’s memoirs suggest this first meeting took place when he visited his friend, Mrs Edwin Edwards, who with her husband was on friendly terms with the painter Henri Fantin-Latour. Sickert had been dispatched there by Whistler to try to persuade Fantin-Latour to visit the American artist’s studio. It was in Blanche’s Dieppe house in 1885 that Sickert refreshed his acquaintance with Degas.

  • The Tulips, Art Deco Still Life on Canvas of Tulips in a Vase in an Interior
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    French Art Deco still life of a vase of tulips in an interior by Auguste Mallard. The painting is signed bottom right and presented in a period patinated wood frame. A colourful and strong painting of an interior view, a table with books and as the centre piece a beautiful blue ceramic vase with twisted handles holding a magnificent bouquet of brightly coloured tulips. Mallard has captured the abandon of the blooms in the vase, the way tulips twist and furl raising and lowering their beautiful colourful petals. The colours of the flowers really stand out against the more muted tones of the background, curtain and table. A very elegant and stylish painting. This painting has the feel of some of the still life works from the same period by Tamara de Lempicka who was a contemporary of Mallard painting...
