About the Item

Original oil painting by Huguette Baudrot (French, 1929-2023) *see further notes below Post-Impressionist oil painting by the well listed and admired female French painter, Huguette Baudrot. The work has impeccable provenance, having come from the artists studio sale in France. signed verso oil painting on canvas, unframed. canvas: 32 x 25.5 inches condition: very good condition without any noticeable faults. provenance: the artists studio, France. Artists biography: Madame Huguette Helene Baudrot was born in Alexandria, Egypt on September 10th, 1929 to Auguste and Arianne Baudrot. Her family ran a pastry shop, Maison Baudrot, that was so well-known as to be mentioned in novels like Lawrence Durrell's book "Cléa" (1960). It boasted tearooms and a dance floor and was widely considered one of the best pastry shops in Alexandria. She spent her childhood in Egypt playing alongside her sister Sylvette (1928 - ), who later became a famous French scriptwriter known for writing the scripts for films like "Leon: The Professional" (1994), "Laste Year at Marienbad" (1961), and "The Pianist" (2002), as well as acting as a script supervisor for films like Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief" (1955). Huguette moved away from Egypt in her adulthood but frequently returned for extended trips. It was there that she likely met Laurent Marcel Salinas (1913 - 2010), a fellow Modern artist and the colorist for prints by Picasso, who was also born in and grew up in Alexandria, Egypt. She became a painter best known for her Post-Impressionistic style, with loose brushstrokes and a favoring of loose, abstract forms over exact details. Her landscapes almost appear alien, dotted with blob-like trees and filled with unnatural color combinations. Her figures are extremely Modern, bordering almost on Cubist in their minimized compositions. She died in Bois-Colombes, France, on September 20th, 2023.

CONTACTER LE VENDEUR A CE SUJET POUR TOUTE QUESTION. Etienne Cail est né en 1991. C’est dans le cadre de l’atelier deSèvres, qu’Etienne Cail conforté par ses pairsdécidera de prendre son envol dans le mondedes peintres.Nous somme en 2009, il n’a alors que 18 anset affaire rarissime il a déjà trouvé son style,sa « pâte ». Après la représentation de l’atelier qu’il a réalisé sous tous les angles, EtienneCail s’est engagé à construire « ses gueules »,des adversaires qu’il défiera à grand coup de pinceaux. Au coeur des ateliers de cette Chine actuelle il découvre cet art à la fois puissant et subtil. Ici, les rebelles du monde de l’art ne sont pas des dissidents au sens strict du terme, ils se battent pour l’indépendance de la création dans un pays où la liberté est encadrée. Cette capacité à créer une force intelligible malgré ces contraintes force l’admiration du jeune peintre qui se retourne sur d’anciennes provocations artistiques qu’il jugera dés lors trop faciles.Dés son retour en France, la création d’une nouvelle série de portraits appuient déjà cette nouvelle maturité et un nouveau projet prend parallèlement vie autour d’un songe: si tous les grands moments de l’histoire et les plus grands chefs...
