Georges Gaston Arnulf Art

Monacan, 1921-1996

Born in Monaco, Georges Arnulf won the Grand Prix de Rome for engraving in 1950 and illustrated the Château Mouton Rothschild label the same year. Arnulf’s interest in pre-Columbian art took him to South America from 1957–66, working in stained glass and fresco painting. Back in France, he taught drawing, his work becoming more florid and elaborate, combining human figures with plants, rocks and animals, all caught in vigoros movement.

Oil on canvas, signed lower left Georges Gaston Arnulf est un peintre et graveur français, né à Monte-Carlo (Monaco) le 23 mars 1921 et mort le 19 novembre 1996 au Thillay. Georges Arnulf est originaire d'une ancienne famille niçoise. Il est le neveu de Gaston Arnulf, ancien conseiller général, et le fils d'un ancien hôtelier niçois. Il fait toutes ses études au lycée de Monaco et au lycée de Nice. Après avoir suivi les cours de dessin et de décoration à l'École nationale des arts décoratifs de Nice, où il est l'élève de Jules Henri Lengrand, il est reçu en 1946 à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, présenté par Pierre-Henri Ducos de La Haille le 30 octobre 1947, il y fréquente les ateliers de fresque et de gravure. Il entre chez le taille-doucier Robert Cami où il continue son apprentissage du burin1, de l'eau-forte, de la manière noire. Il obtient en 1950 le premier grand prix de Rome de gravure en taille douce2 et il est missionné pour réaliser l'étiquette de la bouteille du Château Mouton Rothschild 19503. Pensionnaire à la villa Médicis à Rome pendant trois ans et demi4, il voyage et grave au burin l'illustration d'une édition de luxe des sonnets de Shakespeare traduits en français par François-Victor Hugo, préfacé par André Maurois (éditions Henri Javal, 1954). Revenu à Paris en 1955, il réalise la mise en page et l'illustration au burin et à l'aquatinte d'un livre de poèmes de Philippe de Rothschild, Éclos à l'aube. En 1956 il part pour le Liban comme conseiller artistique et technique de l'Imprimerie catholique de Beyrouth, au cours de cette période il effectue différents séjours en Égypte et en Asie mineure. En 1957, il signe un contrat comme conseiller artistique attaché au service des publications du ministère de la Culture en Colombie. Il est chargé par ailleurs de la conception et de la réalisation de 20 vitraux destinés à l'église coloniale San Francisco de Bogotà, qu'il mène à bien selon la technique traditionnelle avec l'aide d'un maitre-verrier. Il exécute aussi les fresques de l'hôtel Tonchalà à Cucuta et dirige la restauration de 200 tableaux appartenant aux diverses églises de l'époque coloniale colombienne. Il devient par la suite directeur artistique des éditions de la compagnie Seguros Colombia et de la banque Banco de construccion y desarrollo à Bogotà. Attiré par l'immensité et la diversité des paysages colombiens, il visite les Llanos, l'Amazonie et les régions les plus reculées du Magdalena et du Huila : San Augustin et Tierradentro, vastes zones archéologiques, d'où il rapporte de nombreux croquis de sculptures monumentales et de fresques des nécropoles, qui viennent compléter ceux pris au musée national et au musée de l'or de Bogota. Ce long travail est à l'origine de la collection des Estampes précolombiennes, à laquelle il se consacre dès son retour en France en 1966, et dont le premier volume paru en avril 1967 est présenté à la galerie-librairie de Gérard Mourgue à Paris5. La même année, pour se détendre du travail minutieux de la gravure, il réalise une fresque dans le patio de la villa Joya d'Alexandre Reza à Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Il est alors nommé professeur de dessin à l'École nationale d'art décoratifs de Nice où il reste jusqu'en 1968, puis il obtient un poste — chargé de cours « Formes et graphismes » — à la faculté de Vincennes en 1969. Il fait transporter sa presse, achetée avant son départ pour la villa Médicis et rangée chez ses parents, dans l'atelier de sa nouvelle maison au Thillay. Atteint de maladie de la moelle osseuse, il est hospitalisé durant des mois. En réaction à la souffrance et à l'immobilité, il dessine alors quantité de croquis à la pointe bic qui seront autant d'études pour ses futures gravures. Les plus grands spécialistes le condamnent à très court terme, mais il guérit et reprend ses activités. Il se spécialise alors dans la réalisation de décorations murales en cuivres gravés de 10 à 20 m2 installées dans plusieurs facultés et lycées au Havre, Poitiers, Niort, Granville, ainsi qu'un monumental mobile...

Modernist Abstract Expressionist Watercolor Painting Bauhaus Weimar Pawel Kontny
By Pawel Kontny
Located in Surfside, FL
Abstract watercolor composition bearing the influence of the earlier color-block compositions of Paul Klee. Pawel August Kontny, (Polish-German-American artist) He was born in Laurahuette, Poland, in 1923, the son of a wealthy pastry shop owner. In 1939 he began studying architecture in Breslau where he was introduced to the European masters and to the work of some of the German Expressionists, soon afterward banned as "degenerate artists" and removed from museums throughout Germany by the Nazi regime. His studies were interrupted by World War II. Drafted into the German army, traveling in many countries as a soldier, he sketched various landscapes but in 1945, he was captured and held as a prisoner of war in Italy. After the war, he studied at the Union of Nuremberg Architects to help design buildings to replace ones destroyed in the war. He recorded his impressions of the local population and the landscapes through his watercolors and drawings. Pawel Kontny thereafter moved to Nuremberg, Germany, becoming a member of the Union of Nuremberg Architects and helping to rebuild the city's historic center. He soon decided to concentrate on his professional art career. He married Irmgard Laurer, a dancer with the Nuremberg Opera. Pavel Kontny 's career as an artist was launched with his participation in an all German exhibition, held at the Dusseldorf Museum in 1952. He held one-man shows in Germany, Switzerland and the United States. During his trip to the United States in 1960, Kontny became instantly enamored with Colorado, and decided to relocate to Cherry Hills with his wife and two children. He quickly established himself in the local art community, being affiliated for a time with Denver Art Galleries and Saks Galleries. His subject matter became the Southwest. During this time he received the Prestigious Gold Medal of the Art Academy of Rome. His extensive travel provided material for the paintings he did using his hallmark marble dust technique. he also worked equally in pastel, watercolor, charcoal and pencil-and-ink. in a style which merged abstraction and realist styles, influenced by Abstract Expressionist painting and South Western American landscapes. In the early 1960s he was one of only a few European-born professional artists in the state, a select group that included Herbert Bayer (1900-1985), a member of the prewar Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, Germany, and Roland Detre (1903-2001), a Hungarian modernist painter. As a Denver, Colorado resident, Pavel Kontny exhibited at galleries and museums throughout the United States, Germany and Japan. There, he was inspired by frequent trips to Native American pueblos in the Southwest, as well as by the study of the Plains Indians of Montana and Wyoming. Over the years Kontny had a number of students and generously helped young artist by hosting exhibitions at his Cherry Hills home. For many years he generously donated his paintings to support charitable causes in Denver. Influences during his European years included German pastelist C.O. Muller, German Informel painter Karl Dahmen and Swiss artist, Hans Erni. In the early 1950s his painting style showed the influence of the Die Brücke (The Bridge), a group of German expressionist artists formed in Dresden in 1905 who had a major impact on the evolution of modern art in the twentieth century in Germany. By the middle of the decade his style incorporated more referential abstraction and total abstraction, resulting in part from his study of Hans Hartung, a German artist based in Paris who exhibited his gestural abstract work in Germany. The American moon landing in 1969 inspired Paul Kontny...

He was sent to a military academy, and from 1963 to the Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts. He attended Harvard University, where he won a number of art and literature prizes. As a schoolboy he self-published a booklet of drawings Palm Fronde Alphabet. An interest in Aubrey Beardsley and fin de siècle artists and writers, led to him spending time in Paris working with Philippe Jullian on his book The Symbolists, before returning to Harvard to complete an honours thesis on Belgian symbolist Fernand Khnopff. He graduated in 1973. Under the pseudonym Féllippé Fecit, he produced a series of erotic drawings for the poet John Glassco for his book Squire Hardman, and in 1968 in the Japanese style for The Temple of Pederasty, a free adaption by Glassco of a work by Japanese expatriate writer Ken Sato.
