Alechinsky, Pierre

Pierre Alechinsky

(19 October 1927 in Saint-Gilles-lez-Bruxelles - Belgium)

 

As a student of typography and illustration at the Ecole nationale d'architecture et des arts décoratifs de la Cambre (Brussels), he discovered in 1945 the work of Henri Michaux de Dubuffet, the Surrealists, and became friends with the art critic Jacques Putman.
In 1949, he met Dotremont and joined the Cobra movement that same year with Asger Jorn and Karel Appel) and was one of the most productive members until the dissolution of the movement in 1951. Alechinsky took part in the first International Cobra Exhibition at the Stedjelijk Museum in Amsterdam and in 1954 he met the Chinese painter Wallace Ting who would play an important role in the development of his work.
In the 1950s, the artist spent time in the Far East, then in the United States; he became interested in Japanese calligraphy and Action Painting, which would have a lasting influence on his work.
The artist produced a very large number of lithographs and engravings; passionate about books, he illustrated poems and texts (Cioran, Butor, Yves Bonnefoy, André Frénaud, Tardieu, etc.) and published numerous works.

In 1983, Alechinsky became professor of painting at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris.

Vera Braun

(Budapest, 19 décembre 1902 – Saint-Maurice-de-Lignon, 13 mai 1997).

Artiste peintre, graveuse, dessinatrice et illustratrice d’origine hongroise, active principalement en France. Installée à Paris à partir de 1928, elle suit une formation dans les ateliers d’André Lhote puis de Fernand Léger, où elle assimile les principes du cubisme et de la construction formelle moderne. Son œuvre connaît une évolution progressive d’un figuratisme à caractère naïf vers une abstraction de plus en plus affirmée, marquée par l’autonomie de la couleur et du rythme pictural. Elle reçoit le Prix international de la peinture en 1959. Son travail est présenté dans de nombreuses expositions personnelles et collectives en France, en Grande-Bretagne et en Suisse, notamment à Paris, où le galeriste Camille Renault lui consacre plusieurs expositions, en particulier en 1973 et 1976. Parallèlement à sa production picturale, elle mène une activité soutenue d’illustration, notamment pour des ouvrages destinés à la jeunesse et à l’enseignement. Des œuvres de Véra Braun sont conservées dans des collections publiques, notamment au musée de Budapest et au Musée d’Art moderne de Paris.

Cortot,Jean

Jean Cortot

Jean Cortot (1925–2018) est un peintre et artiste français dont l’œuvre se distingue par une recherche constante sur les relations entre peinture, écriture et poésie. Formé à Paris à l’Académie de la Grande Chaumière, notamment auprès d’Othon Friesz, il s’inscrit dès l’après-guerre dans une génération d’artistes qui interroge le renouvellement du langage pictural.

Très tôt reconnu, Jean Cortot développe une œuvre singulière qui évolue de la figuration vers une peinture de plus en plus structurée par le signe, la lettre et le mot. À partir des années 1960, l’écriture devient un élément constitutif de sa pratique, non comme simple citation littéraire, mais comme matière plastique à part entière. Il collabore avec de nombreux écrivains et poètes, réalisant livres d’artistes, manuscrits peints et ensembles où le texte et l’image se construisent dans une relation étroite.

Son travail, profondément nourri par la littérature, se caractérise par une grande liberté formelle et une attention particulière au rythme, à la couleur et à la spatialisation du langage. Élu membre de l’Académie des beaux-arts en 2001, Jean Cortot laisse une œuvre importante, aujourd’hui conservée dans de nombreuses collections publiques et institutionnelles, et régulièrement présentée dans des expositions muséales en France et à l’étranger.

Foujita, Léonard

Leonard Foujita

(Tokyo - Japan :27 November 1886 ; Zurich - Switzerland :29 January 1968)

Painter, draftsman and engraver, illustrator, ceramist, photographer, filmmaker and stylist.

The son of a medical general in the Japanese army during the time of Emperor Mutsuhito, he grew up learning French while studying Western painting at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. After graduating in 1910, he left for Paris in 1913, embarking on a long sea crossing to Marseilles before reaching the capital and, in particular, the artists' quarter in Montparnasse.

Close to Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Henri Matisse or Fernand Léger, Foujita launched himself into painting with success during the Great War. In 1917, his first exhibition of one hundred and ten watercolours in a half-Japanese, half-gothic genre was a triumph. In 1924, he painted Youki, goddess of snow, for the Salon d'Automne. In 1930, he painted four paintings: Le Salon in Montparnasse, The Lion tamer, Three women and The Triumph of Life over Death.

After several years of a journey that took him notably to Latin America, he returned to Japan in 1933. Caught in the turmoil of war, he supported the militaristic action of his country, both through his paintings such as Senso-ga (or The Battle of the Khalka River) and his personal commitment. But, from 1945, he will know how to get closer to the United States in order to pursue his career in the West. We thus find him in New York and then in Paris in the early 1950s. Having obtained French nationality in 1955, converted to Christianity in 1959 before becoming a mystic by settling in the Chevreuse valley in Villiers-Le-Bâcle, Léonard Foujita still produced some remarkable works, such as the Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix chapel in Reims, which bears his name and where his remains now rest.

(Paris: 13 January 1915 - 17 July 2001)

Pupil at the Académie Moderne, directed by Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant. In 1931, Blaise Cendrars and Fernand Léger advised his parents to send him to the Bauhaus. He arrived in Dessau in October 1931 and stayed for 2 semesters. He was the only Frenchman to study at the Bauhaus. He returned to Paris by bicycle in July 1932.

In October of the same year, he returned to Frankfurt, Germany, where he studied with the Constructivist painter Willi Baumeister.

When the Nazis came to power, he returned to Paris and worked in advertising design. In September 1936, Jacques Germain did his military service. War broke out a few years later, and the artist was taken prisoner and spent three years in captivity.

On his return to France, he devoted himself mainly to painting.

In 1949, he had his first solo exhibition in Paris.

Jacques Germain became one of the leading exponents of lyrical abstraction and took part in numerous international exhibitions.

(Genève : 23 mai 1938)

Artiste plasticien suisse, également connu pour son activité musicale. Son travail plastique, développé parallèlement à sa carrière de musicien, se concentre principalement sur la peinture et le dessin. Il s’inscrit dans une démarche gestuelle et abstraite, caractérisée par une forte attention au mouvement, à la trace et à l’énergie du geste. Son œuvre picturale a fait l’objet de nombreuses expositions et est reconnue comme une recherche autonome, fondée sur des processus proches de l’improvisation et de l’expérimentation formelle.

Thérèse Le Prat

In twenty years, Thérèse Le Prat photographed the actors in more than two hundred and fifty classical or modern plays, including Louis Jouvet, Alain Cuny, Maria Casarès, Gérard Philipe, Jean-Louis Barrault and Jean Vilar. Using photographic realism to make the most of the combinations offered by changes of costume, make-up and lighting, she created a highly personal body of work whose chief subject of inspiration is the mystery of the human face.

Maréchal,François

François Maréchal

(Housse 7 janvier 1861 – Liège 8 juillet 1945)

Né le 7 janvier 1861 à Housse dans la campagne wallone, François Maréchal aurait très probablement, comme son père et son arrière grand-père, exercé le métier d’armurier s’il n’avait croisé à 17 ans un certain Delbeke, décorateur qui excellait dans les natures mortes. Inspiré, Maréchal s’essaya au dessin, présentant à Delbeke ses chats, vaches, insectes et fleurs. Il put suivre son enseignement et intégrer l’Académie de Beaux-Art de Liège en 1879. 

Étudiant le matin auprès de Yan Marcke, Soubre et Dheur, il revêt l’après-midi la blouse du simple ouvrier peintre, marbrant des plinthes et des linteaux.

En 1888, Armand Rassenfosse lui permet d’explorer en profondeur les techniques de gravure. Profitant de sa presse à imprimer, Maréchal abandonne le pinceau pour la pointe d’acier : l’eau-forte devient sa technique de prédilection et la ville Liège son premier sujet. Entre 1888 et 1901, il grave 254 plaques sur sa ville d’adoption et sur ses environs. 

En 1898, son exposition au Cercle artistique et littéraire de Bruxelles consacre
sa réputation. Eekhoud, dans le Mercure de France, Sulzberger dans la Revue de Belgique, Fernand Khnopff dans le Studio, le designent comme l’un des meilleurs artistes wallons. 

En 1901, il obtient une bourse de la fondation Darchis pour séjourner en Italie ;
il visite Milan, Florence, s’établit à Rome puis à Tivoli et grave, entre 1902 et 1905, 80 eaux-fortes.  

De retour à Liège à partir de 1905, il grave, selon Vittorio Pica, « les variées et curieuses planches d’études d’animaux et de fleurs d’une facture minutieuse et patiente, qui [font]repenser à quelques albums de Hokusai ». Nommé professeur de dessin à l’Académie royale des Beaux-Arts, il en prend la direction entre 1913 à 1920. 

Son œuvre se compose de 728 gravures, chacune tirée à quelques dizaine d’exemplaires. 

Le cabinet des Estampes et des Dessins de Liège et les collections artistiques
de l’université de Liège (Musée Wittert) conservent de nombreuses gravures et dessins de François Maréchal. Ses œuvres sont également présentes dans les collections du Minneapolis Institute of Art, du musée d’Art wallon, du musée de la Vie wallonne, de la Province de Liège et du musée des Beaux-Arts de Tournai.

Brother of the poet Henri Pichette, James Pichette (1920-1996) exhibited for the first time at the salon des Super-independent in 1947, then Salon des réalités nouvelles in 1950. Close to Huguette Arthur Bertrand, he defended lyrical abstraction at the Salon of October 1952-53.

 "A curious feast of the spirit is organized in each of James Pichette's works - but without seeming to touch it, he also suggests some of the thousand and one secrets of painting, courteously hidden under the towers and detours of a modern calligrapher monk. »

He then left for the United States and worked for Graphic and Harper's Weekly. In 1876, in Philadelphia, during the World's Fair, he met Émile Guimet again, whom he had met in London four years earlier. The two began a long journey that would take them to Japan, China, Southeast Asia and India before returning to Europe.
Régamey's almost ethnographic watercolours and drawings were presented at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 and published the same year in the Japanese walks of Guimet.

In 1881, he was appointed inspector of drawing for the schools of the City of Paris.

Antonio Segui

(Córdoba: 11 January 1934 - Buenos Aires: 26 February 2022)

A painting student at the Beaux-Arts de Córdoba, he completed his training and his eye during a trip to Europe and Africa in the early 1950s, during which Seguí attended painting and sculpture courses at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Madrid. Initially inspired by German figurative painters such as Otto Dix and George Grosz, his first works reflected a certain irony of the world.

On his return to Argentina, he organised his first exhibition in 1957, before returning to Latin America, stopping off in Mexico to study all the engraving techniques, particularly those used by muralists.

Antonio Seguí finally settled in Paris after representing Argentina at the 1963 Biennale. His style evolved towards a more absurd and humorous figuration that brought him closer to Ferdinand Léger and Diego Rivera: he used multiple drawing, painting and engraving techniques in urban worlds bursting with colour. The teeming city is an anonymous theatre of busy characters under their hats.

His work is exhibited worldwide in over a hundred museums and galleries.

Raoul Ubac

(Malmedy or Cologne: 31 August 1910; 24 March 1985 Dieudonne - France)

Raised in Germany (Prussia), between Cologne and Frankfurt, then, from 1919, in Belgium Raoul Ubac studied at the Athénée royal de Malmedy until 1928. After the reading of the first Manifesto of SurrealismHe enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris and established contacts with the Surrealists, including Camille Bryen and Otto Freundlich, and met André Breton. His first photographs offound stone assemblies  on the island of Hvar encouraged him to enrol at the Cologne School of Applied Arts. Raoul Ubac then experimented with new photographic techniques: the processes of burning, solarisation and petrifaction, which he exhibited in Paris in 1933.

Under the name of Raoul Michelet and in collaboration with Camille Bryen, he published two collections of poems and photographs, Poetic Actuation and The Adventure of Things .
He rubs shoulders with Hans Bellmer, Victor Brauner, Benjamin Péret and Raoul Hausmann, participates in theInternational Exhibition of Surrealism, à La LouvièreThis is the first surrealist exhibition in Belgium, organized by the Rupture group.

Starting in 1936, he worked on a series of photographs around the Battle of Penthesileawhich it will publish in part in the journal MinotaurThis is achieved by combining multiple processes: combining negatives, overprinting and solarisation, superimposing or shifting the negative and the positive, which gives an impression of petrifaction, blowing, smoking, burning or fogging of the plate. Ubac learns engraving in Stanley Hayter's studio and exhibits a few photographs in January 1938 at theInternational exhibition of surrealism.

In 1940, Raoul Ubac founded with René Magritte the magazine Collective Invention which will have only two issues and will feature André Breton, Achille Chavée, Fernand Dumont, Marcel Lefrancq, another surrealist photographer, Irène Hamoir, Marcel Lecomte, Marcel Mariën and Louis Scutenaire. At the beginning of the Second World War, Raoul and Agui Ubac, together with the Magritte, Scutenaire and Irène Hamoir, left Brussels, then Paris for Carcassonne (Aude) where Joë Bousquet lived. In 1941, Raoul Ubac returns to Brussels where he presents an exhibition of photographs with a catalogue prefaced by Paul Nougé. The gallery is closed by order of the occupants. Having made the acquaintance of the poet Jean Lescure who runs it, he actively collaborates in the magazine MessagesHe met Paul Éluard, Raymond Queneau and André Frénaud, who never ceased to accompany his work in a friendly manner. In 1942, he illustrated Exercise of purity of John Lescure.

The latter introduces him to Jean Bazaine and other non-figurative painters. From 1951 onwards, the Aimé Maeght gallery regularly exhibited his gouaches and canvases, prefaced by André Frénaud, Georges Limbour, Claude Esteban and Yves Bonnefoy. At the same time, Ubac never stopped engraving slates which became reliefs and of which, in 1955, he introduced fragments into his paintings. In 1958 he acquired a house in Dieudonne where he set up two workshops, for painting and sculpture.

In the 1960s, his paintings, on panels covered with amalgamated resins, achieve a synthesis and a blossoming, around the themes of Ploughs and Furrows, Bodies and Torsos, of the double work that he will continue until his death. In 1968 a retrospective of his work was presented in Brussels and at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. In 1973 Ubac received the national grand prize for the arts.
