Gabriel Charles Deneux (1856 - 1926) / Guy Depiere

This watercolour is dated 1888 but the approach has a

certain kind of freshness it could have been produced

yesterday. Timeless art has proved the most significant

part in history and partly for that reason I've presented

this watercolor here. Deneux also made oil paintings

but gradually moved towards a for that time more

commercial approach which I think to be a pity.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 19 / 26 cm.

Deneux reduced the forms here to one single touch.

From this point on he could even have evolved into

a certain kind of cubism.

The trees in the background are another example of

his skills: simply credible.

Lisieux has been depicted here and the way he places his 

signature changed over the years. Watercolours often simply 

were monogrammed and his oil paintings signed in block

letters. There is still much appreciation for his work.

Guy Depiere

The works of Guy Depiere are hardly to trace.

There is a belgium artist Guy Depiere who lived in 

Brussels and had a studio for strips and cartoons.

He was internationally appraised and by looking

at these watercolours the talent is certainly there.
We recently found posters he made for the Holland
America Line. The signatures absolutely are similar.

These posters do fetch a lot of money though in fact 

it is still printwork. We believe this to be his non 

commercial work. We think this is a vue on one of 

the sidewings of the Louvre. Watercolour. 

Dimensions 50 - 70 cm.

This gouache by the same artist is also made in Paris.

Actually it is the Tuilerie (Garden of the Louvre)

based on the fact that this has been added in pencil 

under the signature lower right: Tuilery.

Watercolour. Dimensions 50 - 70 cm.
