About the Item

André Minaux - Abandoned Boat - Original Lithograph 1964 Dimensions: 30 x 20 cm Edition of 200 (one of the 200 on Vélin de Rives) Mourlot Press, 1964 Andre Minaux French, (1923 - 1986) Andre Minaux (b Paris, 5 Sept 1923). French painter and printmaker. He studied under Maurice Brianchon at the Ecole National Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (1941–5). From 1944 he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, Salon des Indépendants and Salon de Mai and had his first one-man show at the Galerie des Impressions d’Art in Paris in 1946. In 1949 he participated in the second Homme-Témoin group exhibition at the Galerie Claude and the same year won the Prix de la Critique. The social realism of Homme-Témoin was in tune with Minaux’s own work, in which he pared away detail and employed thickly painted, expressive brushstrokes in subdued colours to depict everyday scenes, as in Seated Woman (c. 1949; see Chevalier, pl. 4). In the same style were a number of townscapes, such as Landscape of Toury Ferrotes (1950; Paris, Pompidou), and such still-lifes as Armchair in an Interior (1951; London, Tate). He also made lithographs to illustrate books, for example Jules Amédée Barbey d’Aurevilly’s L’Ensorcelée (1955), Jules Renard’s Les Philippe (1958) and Blaise Cendrars’s La Grande Route. In 1960 Minaux exhibited the large work The Wedding (1957–60; see Besson, pl. 1) at the Maison de la Pensée Française in Paris. Covering an area of 20 sq. m, the painting depicted an interior scene with figures gathered in celebration, which was compared by contemporaries to Gustave Courbet’s Burial at Ornans (1849–50; Paris, Mus. d’Orsay). From the 1960s his colours brightened yet his work became more serene, although the subject-matter remained the same. In the 1970s he concentrated on the theme of women in interiors in a series of coloured etchings, where the forms were flattened and abstracted, as in Denise (1976–7; see exh. cat., p. 17). Also in the 1970s he made etchings of still-lifes mainly depicting elements taken from the artist’s studio, as in Two Palettes (1976–7; see exh. cat., p. 4).

Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH

Jean Miotte - Original Etching 1998 Dimensions: 41 x 33 cm Edition: /40 From La Déchirure Jean Miotte, 1926 - 2016 Miotte came of artistic age in the decade after World War II when non-figurative gestural abstraction was emerging on both sides of the Atlantic as the contemporary artistic language. The term, "L'Art Informel," was coined by the French critic, Michel Tapi, to connote "without form." The negation of traditional form, a radical break from established notions of order and composition, was particularly suited to a cultural environment born out of the circumstances of post war Europe where abuse of morals and fascist ideology had led to such horror and destruction. While Informel is often regarded as the European equivalent of Abstract Expressionism, it is distinguished from its American counterpart, by a loss of faith in progress and the collective possibilities of an avant garde. Rather the artists who came to be grouped as Informel, Jean Miotte, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Emil Schumacher...
