A Walk in the Park by French Expressionist...greta Garbo Owned a Works by the Artist! Oil on Canvas

1940 - 1960
Description

Gabriel Dauchot (1927-2005) was the quintessential artist: unworldly, bohemian, romantic, frequently drunk. While he often depicted the past and its glamour - balls, elegant ladies and horse drawn carriages were among his favourite subjects - Dauchot's figures always have an air of vulnerability and appear slightly lost. Not for nothing was Dauchot often called ''the painter of the human comedy''. The work presented here shows us the idyllic scene of a Parisian park in springtime, but it feels that the delicate figures are walking on thin ice: for Dauchot, beauty is fragile.

Dauchot admired Maurice Utrillo and Chaim Soutine. He studied with Yves Brayer and Othon-Friez and soon received enormous acclaim, being hailed as one of the most important artists of his generation.

In 1951 Dauchot was awarded the Prize of the Society of Art Collectors. He exhibited at the prestigious Galleries Durand-Ruel and Katia Granoff in Paris and internationally, with Hattfield Gallery in Los Angeles, Juster Gallery in New York, and the O''Hana Gallery in London.

Former French president and avid art collector Jacques Chirac praised Dauchot''s work in a speech, and actress Greta Garbo was known to be a collector of Dauchot''s work.

Here is an exquisite oil on canvas from the 1960s which combines freshness and virtuosity with his characteristic wistfulness. Please

The painting measures 19 x 47 cm. The overall framed size in a traditional French frame with a velvet liner is 33 x 61 cm.
