Jean-Francis AUBURTIN (1866-1930) - Lot 129
Jean-Francis AUBURTIN (1866-1930) Small isadorables in the clearing Gouache and pencil on paper. Monogrammed lower left. 17 x 22 cm We would like to thank Madame Francine Quentin, a specialist on the artist, who confirmed the authenticity of this work and provided us with valuable information on the artist and his work. Madame Quentin will be pleased to provide the purchaser with a certificate. The term Isadorable refers to the little girls aged 8 to 12 who were Isadora Duncan's student-dancers at her school in Meudon. The painter was also inspired by Loïe Fuller, the American dancer and choreographer who created the revolutionary Serpentine Dance, considered by the Symbolists to be in the artistic avant-garde. Auburtin worked on the theme of dance from 1902 to 1920. He produced a series of soft, warm, idealized works... Light, nature and the elements are all beauty, calm and serenity, and time seems suspended. The mermaids and nymphs who populate these Edenic landscapes have lively, elegant postures that reveal the artist's work on the expression of movement. More than fifty works from this period will be presented in Aix-les-Bains in 2019 in an exhibition entitled Pas de deux: Auburtin, Rodin et la danse at the Musée Faure.
