An early C20th crayon on paper of a Lady ‘Jeune femme debout’ By Paul Cesar Hellou glazed and framed (1859-1927) 73cm x 43.5cm Additional information: According to Mrs. Paulette Howard Johnston, Helleu’s daughter, the present drawing depicts one of the daughters of an American family, the Kellys, who were presumably very wealthy and owned a large house in Deauville before the First World War. Helleu lived half the year on his yacht in Deauville harbour with his family. Ms. Howard Johnston recalled how jealous she was of Marguerite Kelly’s hats, which she bought at Coco Chanel’s shop in Deauville and recalled the American girls were particularly remembered for their taste in the latest fashions and their gift for tennis. The family left France at the outset of the war and she never saw them again. The drawings are not signed because they were framed on the verso of other Helleu drawings of the Kelly girls. Provenance: Private Collection, United States This authenticity of this drawing has been confirmed by Les Amis de Paul-Cesar Helleu. The drawing will be included in the up-coming catalogue raisonne of which the first volume will appear in a French and English edition in September 2014. Mrs. Paulette Howard- Johnston (Helleu’s daughter) has seen the drawing and specifically dated it as being done in 1914 during the war. Paul César Helleu worked as a painter and an engraver in France at the turn of the century. His work epitomises the charm and elegance of French culture at the time – the belle époque – with all its verve and focus on fashion. Whilst he was renowned for his portraits of society ladies on commission, and those of his childhood sweetheart who later became his wife (Alice Guerin). Helleu was born in Vannes in 1859 and moved to Paris as a young man. He later became a pupil of Jean Leon Gérome at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts and became a lifelong friend of fellow student John Singer Sargent. Gérome was to buy his first painting. Artists including Monet, Rodin and Tissot also recognised his talent whilst he was studying in Paris (he was later formally accepted as part of the Impressionist group). In fact, Tissot gave Helleu his own engraving tools because he was in such despair after the death of his beloved Kathleen Newton that he was unable to use them to make art. As a result, Helleu became an excellent drypoint engraver and one can see those skills for draughtsmanship and fine line work in this particular drawing. Helleu immortalised many beautiful women in paint and graphite because he became the darling of fashionable, aristocratic ladies at the time (including Coco Chanel). Perhaps what makes him all the more appealing to the modern viewer is that, despite this, he was not a cad; throughout their lives together, his favourite model was his wife. NO RESERVE
