About the Item

Yves Ganne (French, 1931 - 2019) La Place Blanche (The Moulin Rouge) Oil on canvas Signed and inscribed (on the reverse) 19.5/8 x 24 in. (50 x 61 cm.) Provenance: From the estate of the artist La Place Blanche (The Moulin Rouge) is a serene and atmospheric painting by Yves Ganne (French, 1931–2019), executed in oil on canvas and signed and inscribed on the reverse. Measuring 50 x 61 cm, the work comes directly from the estate of the artist. The composition captures a calm scene in front of the iconic Moulin Rouge in Paris, with figures moving across the square. Ganne’s characteristic interplay of colour, light, and structure imbues the work with both urban vibrancy and painterly elegance, reflecting his keen eye for composition and his ability to convey mood through dynamic forms. Born in Angers, Anjou, in 1931, Yves Ganne studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes and later under Fernand Léger in Paris. He first received critical recognition at the Prix de la Jeune Peinture exhibition in 1950, winning the Prix de la Ville de Menton that same year. Ganne’s early Paris exhibitions at Drouant David (1954 and 1957), as well as shows in London at Tooth and Sons and in numerous group exhibitions across Europe, established him as a significant post-war French painter. Renowned for his vividly coloured landscapes, still lifes, and figurative works, Ganne’s paintings are held in major public collections including the French Government, the City of Paris, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. La Place Blanche exemplifies Ganne’s mastery of urban scenes, combining narrative charm, compositional clarity, and a sophisticated use of colour to evoke the spirit of Parisian life.

"La Place au Bistro des Filles", Gerard Valtier, Acrylic on Board, French

"La Place au Bistro des Filles", Gerard Valtier, Acrylic on Board, French

By Gerard Valtier

Located in Dallas, TX

"La Place au Bistro des Filles" by Gerard Valtier is an original oil on canvas that measures 35x46 inches. The bright colors of this impressionistic painting create a lively evening scene of people walking and dancing outside of the shops along a canal. Empty gondola's float on the water, lit by the street lamps. Many appreciate the energetic work of the brush to describe the foliage or the luminous backgrounds irradiated with numerous vibrant colors. Seething with colors, sparkling, blazing, molten gold: the whole mystery of Gerard Valtier’s painting lies in the working of this colorful living chemistry, where the thickening cover of the glaze catches the reflections of the light, which progressively becomes incandescent. The contrasting blue and yellow, basically naturalistic colors - characteristic of the impressionist palette - create a feeling of bedazzlement which send out their own light, directly imitating the natural effects of light itself. Thus, the property of the color, the interaction of colors as well as their power to create some light, definitely are the basis of Valtier’s work. The artist can paint everything: barges along the quay, the busy crowds, Venice and its carnival, the bride and her procession - his whole painting is under the sign of the feast. Unlike Renoir or Cezanne, Valtier does not hesitate to use black as a true color, not one designed to soften or drain the pure color, as in the shadows. One will also appreciate the energetic work of the brush to describe the foliage or the luminous backgrounds irradiated with numerous vibrant colors. Valtier has had exhibitions throughout the world and has received many awards. He paints from his studio in Arles, France. He is listed in Mayers, Akoun, La Cote des Peinteres, Bordas International, and Financial Art.
