About the Item

Contemporary Impressionist Figurative Oil Painting Dancers at the Ballet School. More photographs available please ask! Rene Jerome Legrand (British, Born 1953) The Ballet School - oil on Canvas 24 by 20 inches, Signed and Framed (30 by 26 inches) A Large Oil Painting on Canvas mounted on Stretchers and housed in a handmade frame. This was painted when the artist's daughter attended the local Ballet School and Rene made several paintings of the young dancers and their teacher at the weekly practice. Rene Legrand was born in Singapore of Swiss parents. He came to Britain in his formative years. After discovering his talent for painting his art teacher encouraged him to apply to the prestigious Slade School of Art, where he studied classical and old master techniques. After gaining his diploma from the Slade, Legrand secured an exhibition of his work at Heals Department Store; this was a sell out and introduced him to his first patron. Several commissions followed and he came to establish himself as a most sought after portrait painter, which took him around the world. After returning to England and setting up a studio in London, more commissions were quick to follow including commercial work. An example of which was a commission to do the artwork for the film "Greystoke" and for Nina Ricci's television commercial "L'air du temps". In the late eighties commercial success was reinforced with a. series of sell out solo exhibitions at the Priory Gallery, Cheltenham. In more recent years Legrand has exhibited at many top contemporary galleries including Harrods Art Gallery. The work of Rene Legrand is extremely popular and there will always be a demand for his attractive and colourful beach scenes, they remain highly collectable. He paints mainly in Devon and Cornwall during the summer months, capturing the delightful scenes usually featuring family and friends. The models are favourites who appear in several of his pictures including Lizzie, and more recently Sophie, who have appeared in many of his beach scenes and ballet pictures. These paintings are highly sought after and have found their way into some important collections. It is lovely and very decorative work, invoking memories of some of the great St. Ives School painters of the past, and still highly affordable. Many people are reminded of their own childhood or their children’s, his paintings invoke fond memories of bygone times.
