About the Item

Artwork sold with frame (70.5x62 cm) Herbert Theurillat was a Swiss painter, engraver, and designer born in 1896 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, and passed away in 1987 in Collonge-Bellerive. He is recognized for his figurative style, with a body of work that includes still lifes, landscapes, and scenes of daily life, often marked by sensitivity and balance. He moved to Geneva in 1919, where he became deeply involved in the local art scene. In 1941, he was appointed professor of composition at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva, influencing a generation of Swiss artists. Between 1951 and 1956, he served as a member of the Swiss Federal Commission of Fine Arts. In 1968, the City of Geneva honored his contributions to Swiss art by organizing a major retrospective, 30 Years of Painting, at the Musée Rath. This exhibition reaffirmed his importance in the mid-20th-century Swiss art landscape. His works are part of several public and private collections and continue to appear in galleries and auctions. Theurillat's art is valued for its craftsmanship, emotional depth, and quiet elegance.

Large French Modernist Nabi Oil Painting Jean Souverbie Still Life Tulipes Jaune
Located in Surfside, FL
Jean Souverbie (French, 1891 - 1981) "Tulipes Jaunes" 1970 Oil on Canvas. Hand signed and dated ('70) lower right. Inscribed verso on canvas. Provenance Paisnel Gallery label verso, Anaf-Martinon (S.V.V.) Tableaux modernes contemporains, 01 oct 2006 Lyon, France Dimensions: Sight Size: 36.5 x 23.5 in. Overall Framed Size: 43.75 x 31 in. Jean Souverbie was a figurative painter of the French school, known for known for his cubist and modern interpretations of classical nudes, in addition to seascapes and still lifes. Born in Boulogne-Billancourt in 1891, It was a meeting with Nabis group artists Maurice Denis and Paul Sérusier in 1908 that influenced Souverbie to become an artist. An interest in the work of the classical painter Nicolas Poussin at the start of his artistic career would turn out to be an enduring one, the influence of which can be seen throughout Souverbie’s oeuvre. Souverbie enrolled at the Académie Ranson in 1916, where he befriended Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Félix Edouard Vallotton. Souverbie's art style is best described as a distinctive blend of Synthetic Cubism and Classicism (also referred to as Neo-Greek or a return to order). Initially influenced by the Post Impressionist, Symbolists and Fauvist Nabi artists like Maurice Denis In the 1920’s, Souverbie turned toward cubism after the discovery of Georges Braque’s work, but the decisive turning point was reached in 1925, when he exhibited along the Section d’or at the Vavin Raspail gallery and met Charles Gleizes, André Lhote, Louis Marcoussis, and many other members of the Parisian avant-garde including Pablo Picasso who he deeply admired. This master, who had become a friend, deeply influenced Souverbie’s artistic conceptions. His nudes became more and more geometrical, their sculptural bodies echoed cubists icons of the Spanish painter. Souverbie went on to have a show of 54 Cubist paintings at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery in 1929, which solidified his reputation as an important figure in the Parisian art scene of the 1920s and 1930s. By the 1930’s Souverbie had become renowned. He turned to the realisation of monumental works (commissions) which made him famous around the world. In 1937, he was amongst artists chosen to decorate the new Palais de Chaillot, built for the Universal Exhibition to replace the Palais du Trocadéro. Jean Souverbie taught at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris during the 1940s. Among his best-known students are Philippe de La Hogue-Rey, Philippe Lejeune, Jean Le Merdy, Yves de Saint-Front, Georges Visconti and Pierrette Bloch. He was an important mentor figure for Francoise Gilot during her early career as she developed her own artistic style. During the second half of the 1940’s, he contributed to the decoration of 8 Art Deco ocean liners...
