About the Item

Paul GUILLAUME (1891-1934) - Famous French collector and art dealer The Glass and the Bottle, 1926 Oil on canvas on cardboard Signed lower right Dated “1926” and numbered “21” on the back 38 x 45,5 cm Provenance : Paul Guillaume (until 1934) ; Domenica Walter-Guillaume (his wife, born Juliette Lacaze) ; Jean Bouret (last husband of Domenica and art critic) ; Alain Bouret (son of Jean), his sale in Paris, Hotel Drouot, Thierry de Maigret, 28th October 2021, lot n° 117. A key figure in the Paris art market in the early 20th century, Paul Guillaume was introduced to the artistic elite in 1911 by his friend and mentor Guillaume Apollinaire. Very involved in the recognition of avant-garde painters, he quickly became a renowned art collector and dealer. His interest in African art blossomed at the same time, echoing the aesthetic explorations of the artists he championed, including Amadeo Modigliani, André Derain, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. In a letter to Tristan Tzara dated March 13, 1916, he introduced himself as follows: “I also do a lot of painting: I make paintings and I defend and support a few friends”. Paul Guillaume's work remains relatively unknown. His self-taught artistic practice remains on the fringe of his main activity and reveals another facet of his personality. It breaks with the boldness and eccentricity of the paintings of those close to him, as perceived by the public at the beginning of the twentieth century. Indeed, the artist, who defined himself as a Sunday painter, produced small, intimate pictures far removed from any avant-garde dimension. His still lifes, with their simple, moving realism, bear witness to moments of suspended life. At the height of his fame, Paul Guillaume died prematurely at the age of 43. He remains famous for having created an unprecedented and visionary dialogue between modern paintings and the so-called “primitive” arts. Part of his personal collection, acquired under usufruct from his widow, Domenica Walter-Guillaume, née Juliette Lacaze, is now part of the Musée de l'Orangerie's renowned collection. The work we are presenting was probably exhibited in London in 1934 during a monographic exhibition at the Mayor Gallery under number 15: “le verre et la bouteille” . The exhibition, organized a few months before the artist's death by a group of young English poets, featured 29 “vacation paintings”. Some of his paintings had been exhibited at the Galerie Danthon in Paris in November 1928, alongside some of the great names in contemporary painting. A still life with a plate of fruit of the same dimensions, dated 1922 and referenced under number 2 in the same 1934 exhibition catalog, was acquired by the Musée de l'Orangerie in 2018. © Aurelie Biot-Worms / Complete notice on request.
