Pierre-Paul Jouve Art

French, 1880-1973
In the time when the School of Fine Arts and official or special academies promote the study of human model, Paul Jouve, influenced by his father, prominent landscape painter and portraitist, shows more interest in study of animal models. Since his childhood, his father took him to Paris museums and botanic gardens and to Jardin d’Acclimatation - he will keep coming back to them during his entire career - At the age of 16, simultaneously with his art studies Paul Jouve learns the art of gravure and the lithography at Henri Patrice Dillon He was then noticed by Renée Binet, the architect in charge for the construction of many buildings at Universal Exhibition in 1900, who for this occasion order from Jouve to make two groups of lions and to decorate the monumental gateway of one significant frieze in sandstone made by Alexandre Bigot. The support of the Gallery Bing where he exhibited his work in 1905 enables him to finance his travels to Europe and Algeria. Numerous journeys he undertook during his life thanks to awarded scholarships -Algeria, Equatorial, Africa or Far-East- or historical events, like those in Greece during the WWI, enabled him to record new terminology and numerous graphic and animaliers repertoires that his talent of drawer, illustrator, engraver and sculptor fantastically depicts. Paul Jouve exhibits in 1911 in the Gallery of Modern Artists, over one hundred thirty drawings and four sculptures. The press is unanimous and acknowledges the contained force and the architecture of his figures, constancy of his models and his precise meaning of forms ; Jouve’s eye sees beyond visible and catches what is sudden, fugitive, and sometimes silent ; the animal comes out from the lines of the drawing, he liked to say. The press, the critique and the collectors are also unanimous when in 1921 the Group of Four was created, gathering talents like Paul Jouve, Jean Goulden and François-Louis Schmied under the leadership of Jean Dunand. Every year until 1933, the group exhibited in the Gallery Georges Petit, different pieces like furniture, works of art, paintings, book covers and enamels. Simultaneously, Paul Jouve, now leader of the animaliers, exhibits with them regularly in the gallery Brandt. In 1929 it was renamed Gallery Malesherbes and later around 1933, it was taken over by Edouard-Marcel Sandoz. After the war the group exhibited in the gallery Art vivant and finally, from 1948 to 1957, in circle Volney, also purchased by Sandoz. Jouve’s career is marked by prestigious orders, such as Ocean liner Normandie in 1935, and the literary work he will illustrate during his career, such as Jungle book by Kypling in 1919. In years after the WWII some beautiful retrospectives of his work took place. All his life he dedicated his multiple talent to animal, drawn and statuary character of his work, without ever betraying or leaving his virtuosity. Being a great traveler, from Bedouin tents to Angkor, he gave to his work an incomparable and unique diversity made of light, architecture, expressions and imagination.

It is in this artistic universe that he grew up playing with colors, modeling the earth, pampered by his young mother, who dreamed of making a teacher of her. Very early on, his father, seeing his passion for drawing, encouraged him, introduced him to the Jardin des Plantes, where he developed a passion for the big cats that he practiced drawing. For the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the architect Binet, commissioned a frieze of wild animals of more than 100m representing tigers, bears, lions, bulls, and mouflons. This frieze will be executed in greenish brown glazed flamed sandstone by the sculptor Alexandre Bigot. Binet also ordered four lions from him to decorate the main gate...

It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Surrealist Salvador Dali Large Pochoir Etching Drypoint Lithograph Chariot Rider
By Salvador Dalí­
Located in Surfside, FL
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) – Spanish painter, graphic artist and sculptor. Drypoint with etching and pochoir on Japon paper "Elijah and the Chariot," 1975, (Horse and rider) from the "Our Historical Heritage" suite. Pencil signed along the lower right and numbered 53/250 along the lower left. Literature: Field 75-4 J Framed; Height: 29 in x width: 35 in. Mat opening 19.5 X 25.5. The Spanish artist’s extensive oeuvre not only includes watercolors, drawings and sculptures but also tapestries; here a fine example from the limited edition ‘The Twelve Tribes of Israel’ The tapestry was created after an etching by Salvador Dalí from 1973 with the title ‘The Tribe of Judah’, which the artist created as part of a suite to mark the 25th anniversary of the State of Israel, and in which he represented the twelve tribes of Israel. This vintage French tapestry is an impeccable textile re-creation of a rare Dali etching. This is a flat weave Aubusson style tapisserie. The edition size was 500. The tapestry is inscribed with woven ‘Salvador Dalí’ lower right Genre: Surrealism Subject: people, architecture rendering Medium: textile Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989) Salvador Dali is considered as the greatest original artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness. By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous - the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches became the artist's surrealist trademarks. Along with Rene Magritte his is considered the greatest of the Surrealists. His great craftsmanship allowed him to execute his paintings in a nearly photo realistic style. No wonder that the artist was a great admirer of the vintage Italian Renaissance painter Raphael. Meeting Gala was the most important event in the artist's life and decisive for his future career. She was a Russian immigrant and ten years older than Dali. When he met her, she was married to Paul Eluard. In 1933 Salvador Dali had his first one-man show in New York. One year later he visited the U.S. for the first time supported by a loan of US$500 from Pablo Picasso. To evade World War II, Dali chose the U.S.A. as his permanent residence in 1940. He had a series of spectacular exhibitions, among others a great retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He has worked in paining, sculpture, tapestry, Daum glass and prints. Dali became the darling of the American High Society. Celebrities like Jack Warner or Helena Rubinstein gave him commissions for portraits. His artworks became a popular trademark and besides painting he pursued other activities - jewelry and dated clothing designs for Coco Chanel or film making with Alfred Hitchcock. In 1948 Dali and Gala returned to Europe, spending most of their time either in their residence in Ligate/Spain or in Paris/France or in New York. Dali developed a lively interest in science, religion and history. He integrated things into his art that he had picked up from popular science...
