About the Item

Abstract Design Signed By Louis Bellon (French 1908-1998) From a batch of similar work where most were dated 1942-1947 watercolour painting on paper, unframed measurements: 11 x 13.75 inches provenance: private collection of the artists work, Provence, France Condition report: very good, colour strong The painting is an excellent example of this much sought after French painters work. Louis Bellon, born in Dijon, began to draw at the age of 14. Enrolled in the School of Fine Arts in Lyon, he was taught by Antoine Chartres, an extremely cultivated professor who introduced his young pupil to both art and literature. Bellon was also influenced by the works of André Lhote which he encountered a few years later. Bellon drew his inspiration from a multitude of sources: the Neo-Impressionism of Georges Seurat, the flat colors of the Nabis, the intimacy of works by Pierre Bonnard, the subtle delicacy of Paul Cézanne, the Cubism of Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Jacques Villon, both the exciting palette of Matisse and the richness of his line, the Orphism (so named by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire) of Robert and Sonia Delaunay. In 1938, Bellon was elected a member of the Salon of the South-East, one of the most prestigious arts organizations of Lyon where many important contemporary artists exhibited. It was there that Bellon met the Nabi painter Paul Sérusier, allied himself with the Cubist Albert Gleizes, and discovered in the work of Paul Klee an artistic inspiration similar to his own. His work is found in the Museum of Modern Art of Lyon and in numerous private collections.

Mid Century French Abstract Geometric Modernist Composition

Mid Century French Abstract Geometric Modernist Composition

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Geometric Modernist Composition Signed: R Trameau (French School, Mid 20th Century) Medium: Gouache and acrylic on artist paper, unframed Size: 20 x 13.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair to good overall condition. Areas of paint loss and flaking throughout the surface, revealing underlying blue pigment. Edge wear and surface abrasions consistent with age. Structurally sound but would benefit from conservation. Description: A bold and architecturally structured mid century French abstract composition signed R Trameau. Executed in gouache or possibly acrylic on paper, the painting is constructed through sweeping curved bands of mustard yellow, olive green, teal and burnt umber intersecting with spherical geometric forms. The composition demonstrates clear Cubist and Constructivist influence, with layered arcs and structural colour blocking creating movement and spatial depth. The central circular motif anchors the composition, while the surrounding angular elements introduce rhythm and tension. Confident brushwork and visible directional strokes reinforce the dynamic modernist aesthetic. Areas of paint loss expose earlier blue pigment beneath, adding texture and a raw expressive quality typical of mid century studio experimentation. This work would appeal to collectors of French modernist abstraction, geometric mid century painting...
