About the Item

Louis Marie Jullien The Skaters 1904-1982 Watercolour on paper, signed middle left Image size: 25 3/4 x 19 1/2 inches (63 x 49 cm) Original frame In this watercolour we see two women arm in arm on ice skates, their heads turned to the right, as if looking over to someone beyond who has called out to them. The muted colour scheme of blues and greys is characteristic of Jullien's watercolours and adds a dream-like quality, in addition to capturing the chill of the winter scene. The simplicity of the composition reflects Jullien's early work with graphic art and perhaps foreshadows his turning to tapestry later in his career. However, within the blocks of colour, Jullien skilfully uses washes of colour to render the texture of fabric and the mountainous landscape behind the two figures. Louis-Marie Jullien Born in 1904 in Marseilles, Louis-Marie Jullien was a pupil of the School of Fine Arts in this city until he travelled to Paris in 1924. It was here that he was first introduced to graphic arts and became a designer of advertisements. For several years, in the middle of his career, Jullien devoted himself to painting. However, he travelled to Aubusson in 1936 where he joined the Picart le Doux in 1947 and became a member of the A.P.C.T (Association of Tapestry Painters-Cartonniers) and from 1948 he dedicated himself to tapestries. He began with figurative works, then moved on to scientific themes before he eventually evolved into abstraction. Many of these tapestries refer to the poetic character of an inspiration. He participated and exhibited at the Salons of Decorative Artists. In 1955, he had a special exhibition at the Galerie la Demeure.

The Solemn Morris Dancer

By Yosl Bergner

Located in London, GB

Oil on board Image size: 5 3/4 x 7 inches (14.5 x 17.75 cm) As can be seen in this painting, Surrealism served as a source of inspiration for Bergner, though he did not consider himself a surrealist but a lover of stories, and indeed narrative elements appear frequently in his work. He uses the “displacement” element, as the Surrealists did, and that is detaching the figures, objects or landscapes from the logical context and into a poetical-magical climate. Nissim Aloni noted in 1983 He paints as though to install stabilizers against the turbulence of the dream, and perhaps these stabilizers serve him in time as a touchstone'. The Artist Yosl Bergner was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1920 and grew up in Warsaw, Poland. With rampant anti-Semitism in Europe, the Freeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonization was formed in the United States in July 1935, to search for a potential Jewish homeland. Soon afterwards a pastoral firm in Australia offered the League about 16,500 square kilometres (6,400 sq mi) in the Kimberleys, stretching from the north of Western Australia into the Northern Territory. As history showed, the plans went nowhere. But for a time, the Australian idea was at least worth considering. Bergner's father, Melech Ravitch, became involved in a serious investigation of the Kimberley Plan. In this way the Bergner family moved to Australia. Yosl emigrated to Australia in 1937 and studied in the National Gallery School in Melbourne. During World War II he served for four and a half years in the Australian Army, and later continued his studies at the Art School. In Melbourne from 1937–48, Bergner befriended many of the local artists who now epitomize modern Australian art: Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker...
