Nature morte aux Pommes
An impressive Still life with apples by Pierre Grisot, signed, dated and inscribed verso.
He painted in a lively light hearted style that was all his own. Whether he was painting fashionable ladies of the day, nudes or flowers, his work was always full of colour and life. One of the most enduring features of Grisot’s work was his brilliant use of colour.
He enrolled at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. There he studied for a year before he began studies at the Ecole des Beaux Arts where he received a diploma as a drawing .instructor. Grisot initially taught painting and drawing but left to focus on his own art. He is also known for his hat and perfume advertisements for Christian Dior, and as a fashion illustrator for the journal ‘L’Officiel de la Mode et de la Couture’.
His first official exhibition was in Paris in 1942 and he travelled the world exhibiting his work in Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the United States.
Provenance:
Purchased from an auction in France, copy of invoice available to purchaser.
Condition.
There are numerous small flakes that have been touched in and two areas of repair. There are two vertical lines running down the centre of the painting caused by the edges of the stretcher. Nevertheless this is a good decorative painting. The condition of this painting is reflected in its modest price.
