Aboriginal Painting by Tjunkiya Napaltjarri (1927-2009)

Aboriginal Painting by Tjunkiya Napaltjarri (1927-2009)

We offer an exquisite Aboriginal artwork created by Tjunkiya Napaltjarri (1927-2009) in 2002, sourced from the Papunya Tula Art Center. Her work can be found in the collections of the Musée du Quai Branly. This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a gallery invoice.ABOUT THE ARTIST: Tjunkiya Napaltjarri is one of the oldest in the Western Desert. She was born around 1927 in the area northwest of Walungurru (known as Kintore, Northern Territory) and died in 2009. She therefore lived a good part of her life in a very traditional way (without contact with the white man). It was her mother (a woman born in Umari, a sacred site which is the main theme of Tjunkiyas paintings) who first took her to Haasts Bluff. From that point on, she joined Papunya and then regained her ancestral lands after the return of the lands to the Aborigines. Tjunkiya started painting in 1995 and has since participated in numerous exhibitions. She became the second wife of Toba Tjakamarra, who, like her own Shorty Lungkata Tjungurrayi, was a prominent founding father of the Papunya Tula art movement, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula. Similarily to a number of other women in the central and western desert of the region, Tjunkiya was introduced to painting through the Minyma Tjukurrpa (Womens Dream) painting project in the mid-1990s. In 1996 Tjunkiya was featured in the group exhibition Papunya Women at the Utopia Art Gallery in Sydney, while in 2000 she had an exhibition at the William Mora Galleries in Melbourne and was included in the major exhibition of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius. Tjunkiya Napaltjarris remarkable artworks unveil forms through the technique of scraping colors across the surface, a distinctive method uncommon among Papunya Tula Artists. Tjunkiyas works are held in major private collections, such as Nangara (also known as the Ebes Collection). Her works have also been acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory. In France, her works can be admired in the collections of the Musées du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris. Her pieces are featured in esteemed collections such as in Australia: National Gallery of Australia Araluen Collection (Alice Springs) Art Gallery of New South Wales Campbelltown City Art Gallery Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory National Gallery of Victoria Supreme Court of the Northern Territory Artbank International: Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Col lection of the University of Virginia, USA Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France .

Oil-Painting by Jean Thomas (1923- 2019): `An Isolated Farm; Verdon Canyon`

Oil-Painting by Jean Thomas (1923- 2019): `An Isolated Farm; Verdon Canyon`

Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lyon, Jean Thomas began exhibiting his works as early as 1946. Following in the footsteps of the great painters of modernity, his early paintings echo Thomass biggest influences, namely Fernand Léger and Matisse. Some articles published about him discuss the assertion of a true artistic personality, comparing him to his contemporaries: Bernard Buffet, Aizpiri, Krol, Martinet, Patrix etc. From 1955 onwards, Jean Thomas focused primarily on landscape painting, through a precise study of light and great pictorial mastery. His works bear witness to a trend: the realistic post-war landscapes. As a professional painter, he exhibited his works on numerous occasions, most notably at the Art Gallery of Place Beauvau and at the Tournelle Gallery in Paris. In total, he participated in over a hundred exhibitions in France and abroad.Enclosed in a white frame, this painting was completed by Jean Thomas on the 6th of Mai 1989. Signed in the bottom left corner.

18th Century Oil Painting of Child with Tambourine Walking on a Panthera

18th Century Oil Painting of Child with Tambourine Walking on a Panthera

The child, at the center of the composition, is dressed in an immaculate white tunic that delicately falls over their shoulders and stops just above their knees. The simplicity of the tunic, devoid of excessive ornamentation, highlights the purity and innocence of childhood while adding a touch of grace and lightness to the scene.In their right hand, the child firmly holds a tambourine stick. This detail not only evokes an atmosphere of play and cheerfulness but also subtly alludes to antiquity, dear to artists of the Empire who often sought to blend classicism and modernity. The childs posture, captured in mid-motion, demonstrates a liveliness and spontaneity that make the scene even more authentic and touching.The child appears to walk confidently on a panther skin carefully laid out under their feet. The spotted and luxuriant texture of the skin sharply contrasts with the bright whiteness of the tunic, creating an interesting and sophisticated visual interplay. This luxurious element recalls the opulence and grandeur of the Empire era, where every detail is meticulously designed to evoke magnificence and splendor.The background of the painting is treated with artistic sensitivity that highlights the main subject without distracting from it. Soft shades and harmonious tones envelop the scene, creating a soothing and elegant atmosphere. The light seems to gently caress the childs features, accentuating the volumes and adding an almost tangible dimension to this timeless representation.Although unsigned, this painting from the Empire era delicately and finely captures a scene imbued with innocence and beauty. The attention to detail, mastery of textures and contrasts, and balanced composition testify to the artistic skill of the painters of that time, while offering a work full of charm and majesty.Dimensions with frame: 90x115 cm.
