nicolas bertin
Nicolas Bertin (Paris, 1668-1736) Achilles entrusted by Thetis to the centaur Chiron, circa 1725 Oil on canvas 62 x 79.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Paris Literature: Thierry Lefrançois, Nicolas Bertin, 1668-1736, Paris, 1981 Nicolas Bertin has begun his career as a painter under the reign of Louis XIV and has ended it under Louis XV. He was part of this pivotal generation of 'Trianon painters' who switched from large historical painting, to smaller pictures – frequently easel paintings, which seduced a new generation of clients. Painting in the early years of the 18th century was ahead of the evolution of society, and it was only during the Regency that France freed itself from the rigorous artistic rules of the end of the reign of Louis XIV. The country undertook reforms and its morals evolved. It was just after this political and artistic revolution that Bertin painted this picture. The choice of theme itself is significant of lighter times: the nymph Thetis entrusts her son Achilles to the centaur Chiron.

pierre alechinsky
Pierre Alechinsky (Brussels, 1927) L'affaire du bois de Meillant, 1990 Acrylic on paper mounted on canvas 60 x 100 cm Signed and dated lower right: Alechinsky, signed, titled, and dated on the reverse: L’AFFAIRE DU BOIS DE MEILLANT 1990 Alechinsky Provenance: acquired directly from the artist Exhibitions: Alès, Musée Pierre André Benoit, Pierre Alechinsky, peinture - livres, June-October 1990, n° 42; Salzburg, Rupertinum, Pierre Alechinsky: Reisende Tusche, May-July 1991, n° 28 Born in 1927, Pierre Alechinsky moved to France in 1951 where he became a part of the CoBrA movement, sharing the same passion for the freedom of form and colour as other artists belonging to this group. After travelling around Japan in 1955, he became interested in Asian artistic techniques, ultimately adopting a style which incorporated the processes of Japanese calligraphy. The incorporation of calligraphic signage is apparent, set up against a blue border which elegantly frames the central composition. The title provides a playful backstory for the figures in the painting, whose wide eyes and claw-like hands draw us into a thrilling aesthetic narrative.
