Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Promenade des nourrices, frise des fiacres , 1899, suite de 4 lithographies en cinq couleurs, monogrammée P.B. , 149 x 189 cm (à vue)Provenance : Collection Jean-Pierre CassigneulBibliographie : Francis Bouvet, Bonnard: l'oeuvre gravé, Paris, Flammarion, 1981, p.68, n°55, ill. pp. 69-71, Claude Roger-Marx, Bonnard lithographe, Monte-Carlo, André Sauret éditions du livre, 1952, p.91, n°47, ill. pp. 92-93.Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) - Promenade des nourrices, frise des fiacres Influencé par les estampes japonaises et le style des maîtres de l'ukiyo-e découverts lors d'une exposition à l'École des Beaux-arts en 1890, Pierre Bonnard s'intéresse dès ses débuts au format des panneaux. Qu'il les traite en série avec les Femmes au jardin de 1891 ou sous la forme de son Ensemble champêtre de 1894, sa réflexion aboutit à l'utilisation du paravent en 1897 avec la Promenade des nourrices.Fruit d'un travail ambitieux en cours dès 1894, cette réalisation est tout d'abord exécutée par le peintre en un seul tableau proposant une composition croquée sur le vif peinte à la détrempe. Trois ans après cette première tentative picturale, Bonnard choisit la lithographie à cinq couleurs comme medium pour cette composition au thème familier des jardins publics. La surface laissée nue permet aux motifs de s'organiser sur plusieurs plans. Les silhouettes rythment la scène et apportent un dynamisme jovial au travers des deux garçonnets poursuivant leurs cerceaux tandis que les nourrices immobiles et la frise de fiacres jouent de la surface plane des quatre feuilles et apportent une illusion de profondeur.L'oeuvre, éditée et vendue en feuilles détachées ou montées en paravent, devient ainsi un objet utile dans l'usage quotidien et se fait l'expression artistique de la recherche des nabis, à savoir l'art comme élément à part entière de la vie domestique.Collection Jean-Pierre Cassigneul - Peintre et collectionneurJean-Pierre Cassigneul, né en 1935 à Paris, est un peintre français qui grandit au coeur de la haute couture, entouré par l'univers de la maison Jean Dessès fondée par son grand-père.Très tôt, il s'imprègne de l'élégance, des couleurs, des motifs et des textures qui se retrouvent dans son oeuvre. Diplômé des Beaux-Arts, il connaît une ascension rapide grâce notamment à sa rencontre déterminante avec le marchand d'art japonais Kiyoshi Tamenaga, qui lui achète plusieurs oeuvres lors de l'une de ses premières expositions. Le succès international de ses oeuvres en Asie, notamment au Japon où il devient un véritable phénomène dès les années 70, et aux États-Unis, témoigne de la pérennité de son style et de son influence. Tout au long de sa carrière, il a pris plaisir à nouer des amitiés durables avec des artistes de son époque, comme Bernard Buffet et Marcel Fleiss.Douceur de Mai est une toile réalisée dans les années 1980 qui met en scène un vocabulaire en tout point représentatif de la démarche artistique du peintre. La femme est au coeur de sa peinture et elle se pare le plus souvent des plus beaux atouts : soit du bleu serein d'un paysage marin ou lacustre, soit d'une nature luxuriante d'un jardin aux mille fleurs. La recherche d'une élégance mystique, personnifiée par une figure féminine immuable et raffinée dans des décors intemporels, est un leitmotiv dans son oeuvre. À travers ses toiles, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul tisse un dialogue subtil entre la beauté classique et une modernité délicate, prenant ses distances avec les courants dominants et avant- gardistes tout en les réinterprétant à sa manière.Cette toile n'a jamais été présentée sur le marché et provient de sa collection personnelle, qui regroupe très peu de ses réalisations. Peintre et collectionneur, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul a pris soin de s'entourer d'oeuvres d'artistes qu'il affectionne et de techniques novatrices pour leur époque, acquises dans des galeries et des ventes de renom. Cela comprend notamment des séries lithographiques de peintres nabis comme Bonnard (lot 22 et 23) ou Vuillard, qu'il admirait pour leur traitement de la couleur et la force de suggestion de leur travail, ou encore le bronze de González (lot 32) qui reprend son thème de prédilection : la figure féminine.
* LAURENCE BRADSHAW (BRITISH 1899 - 1978) PINE TREE pastel on paper, signed 'L H B' and dated '77mounted, framed and under glassimage size 41cm x 29cm, overall size 63cm x 49cm Note: Sculptor, painter, engraver, stage designer, author. Born in Liscard (Wallasey), Cheshire. According to his family and confirmed by his baptismal record, Laurence's father was Peter Bradshaw, a commercial traveller. However, based on the Census Returns, probably by 1901 and certainly by 1911 Laurence and his mother, Annie Henderson (born c.1866 or c.1871 in Scotland) were described as son and wife of John Bradshaw (born in Liverpool or Warrington, Lancashire c.1869), antique dealer and bookseller. It is presumed that Peter Bradshaw changed his name to John c.1900. Laurence started his higher education at the University of Liverpool during the First World War and then (c.1916) began studying painting at Liverpool School of Art with William Penn. He was advised to study sculpture as well and, after attending some classes in Liverpool (presumably under Charles John Allen then teacher of modelling), he completed his studies in London and Paris. In London, Bradshaw studied at Leon Underwood's Brook Green School of Drawing (dates uncertain). During the mid-1920s Bradshaw worked first as a pupil and then as an assistant to Sir Frank Brangwyn. One of Bradshaw's earliest commissions for sculpture was a series of low reliefs c.1928 for the Brompton Oratory (London) depicting the life of Saint Philip Neri founder of the Oratorian Order. Other commissions followed including: Radcliff Maternity Home (1935); Watford Town Hall; Cambridge Guild Hall; the County Offices in Winchester; and Worthing Town Hall. Private commissions were also an important part of his practice, over a long career he made many portrait busts of writers, politicians, poets, journalists and actors. His most famous work, however, was the memorial to Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery (1956). This reflected his political beliefs. Bradshaw was a committed communist and worked actively in politics throughout his career.
