Eugene Arc / Georges Audureau

To make it look like a real fountain and streetlights around

it the artist seemed to have it made in an effortless and

quick way. Full of craftsmanship anyway. The prefix

of his family name could be part of a discussion here but

we have obtained another work by the same artist on

which the name is better readable. Work on paper.

Dimensions: 25 / 34 cm.

The signature that seems to say: Eugen(e) Arc.

There were different watercolourists busy in  Belgium

under the name Allard. On the web you can find a fine

example of an oriental art watercolour from the hand of

Charles Allard. Work on Paper. Dimensions: 25 / 35 cm.

Georges Audureau (1896 - 1986)

We could call it one of the many Paris streetscenes he

made with the watercolor technique but for me this is

one of his better ones to my opinion. Work on paper.

Dimensions: 23 / 30 cm.

This watercolour was labelled "Atelier 5 J. Landy"

but luckily we found the name of the artist once we 

removed the label from the back as on the reverse

we found the name George Audureau. The signature

found on this watercolor matches the ones we found

on the internet. Often estimated between 200 / 400

Euro's though there are a lot of prints around so

beware of that.

The way it was encadred can be studied here:

Just sticked on a piece of cardboard and a simple

line drawed around it. Contrary to his more popular

tourist works, the colors are not that present in

this watercolor but we liked it the way he did

it anyway..

When comparing it with his signature we do not 

think he signed the label himself here as the prefix 

"U" has been interpreted wrongly.

The label on the back already was a direction to make

a better search for the real artist but the former owner

probably never made an attempt to find out more 

about this work of art.
