Verso signed, inscribed dated: Estève / Culan, 1924. 33 × 46 cm. Provenance: - Marie-Louise Calvet, Paris. - Villand & Galanis, Paris. - Private collection, Switzerland, acquired 20.7.1971 from the above gallery and thence by descent. Exhibited: Ulm 1973, Maurice Estève, Ulmer Kunstmuseum, 27.5.–8.7.1973. Bremen 1974, Maurice Estève, Kunsthalle, 3.2.–3.3.1974. Literature: Robert Maillard: Maurice Estève. Catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre peint, Neuchâtel 1995, p. 145, no. 18. Pierre Francastel: Estève, Paris 1956 (ill. p. 55). Maurice Estève began his artistic career with a figurative approach before later turning to the abstract. In his early works, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s, his style is characterized by realism. Estève was raised in the countryside by his grandparents, who were farmers. This rural childhood nurtured his art profoundly. Only at the age of 13 did he join his parents in Paris, where he visited the Louvre and came into contact with the great painters of the Barbizon School as well as Delacroix and Chardin. But above all, he was fascinated by Paolo Ucello and his painting "Bataille de San Romano". When he finally attended the Free Academy in Montparnasse during the first half of the 1920s and studied intensively the work of Cézanne and the Cubists, Estève began painting on his own. The present work "Paysanne endormie aux rideaux verts," created in 1924, is one of the artist's earliest works in oils. The influence of his childhood in the country is clearly visible in the motifs. It is also wonderful to see how Estève employs perspective in this work, which can certainly be traced back to his fascination with Ucello, who is considered the father of perspective painting. The artist also uses his first cubist forms here and creates a sense of volume through color nuances. Although Estève's early works do not yet show the abstraction that would later become his trademark, a sensitivity to color and composition can already be seen in them. These early works laid the foundation for his later development of a more abstract visual language in which colors and shapes acquired greater autonomy and his movement away from the pure depiction of reality. Estève created two versions of this composition. The work coming to auction is the first and original version. The second is in the Musée Estève in Bourges. ------------------------------------------------- MAURICE ESTÈVE (1904 Culan 2001) Paysanne endormie aux rideaux verts (premier état). 1924.

Catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre peint, Neuchâtel 1995, S. 145, Nr. 18. - Pierre Francastel: Estève, Paris 1956 (Abb. S. 55). Maurice Estève beginnt seine künstlerische Karriere mit einer figurativen Herangehensweise, bevor er sich später dem Abstrakten zuwendet. In seinen frühen Arbeiten, insbesondere in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren, ist sein Stil von einem Realismus geprägt. Estève wächst auf dem Land bei seinen Grosseltern auf, die Bauern sind. Diese Kindheit auf dem Lande nährt seine Kunst eingehend. Erst mit 13 Jahren zieht er zu seinen Eltern nach Paris, wo er den Louvre besucht und mit den grossen Malern der Barbizon Schule sowie Delacroix und Chardin in Berührung kommt. Vor allem aber ist er fasziniert von Paolo Ucello und dessen Gemälde "Bataille de San Romano". Als er in der ersten Hälfte der 1920er Jahre schliesslich die freie Akademie in Montparnasse besucht und sich intensiv mit dem Werk Cézannes und den Kubisten befasst, beginnt Estève mit der eigenen Malerei. Das 1924 entstandene Werk "Paysanne endormie aux rideaux verts" gehört zu den frühesten Arbeiten in Öl des Künstlers. Motivisch ist der Einfluss seiner Kindheit bei den bäurischen Grosseltern deutlich zu erkennen. Wunderbar zu sehen ist ausserdem, wie Estève in diesem Werk mit der Perspektive arbeitet, die mit Sicherheit auf die Faszination für Ucello, der als Vater der perspektivischen Malerei gilt, zurückzuführen ist. Ebenfalls bedient sich der Künstler hier bereits erster kubistischer Formen und schafft durch Farbnuancen Volumen. Obwohl Estèves frühe Werke noch nicht die Abstraktion zeigen, die später zu seinem Markenzeichen werden, kann man bereits in ihnen eine Sensibilität für Farben und Komposition erkennen. Diese frühen Arbeiten legen den Grundstein für seine spätere Entwicklung hin zu einer abstrakteren Bildsprache, in der Farben und Formen eine grössere Autonomie erlangen und sich von der reinen Abbildung der Realität entfernen. Die vorliegende Komposition hat Estève in zwei Versionen verfasst. Das zur Auktion kommende Werk ist die erste und ursprüngliche Version. Die Zweite befindet sich im Musée Estève in Bourges.

MAURICE ESTÈVE (1904 - 2011 Culan)
Est: €2,000 - €3,000
Ohne Titel Kohle und Wachskreide auf Velin. 1963. 34,7 x 27cm. Unten rechts mit Kohle signiert "Estève" und datiert. Verso mit einer Bleistiftannotation "W.Scharf i priv." sowie bezeichnet "1621 - D" und datiert. Nachdem Estève 1913 mit seinen Eltern nach Paris zieht, bildet er sich weitestgehend autodidaktisch aus. Während zahlreicher Besuche im Louvre studiert er die Werke von Paolo Uccelo und Jean Fouquet, besucht das freie Atelier der Akademie Colarossi und schafft ab 1930 Werke, die auf postkubistischen Formen basieren. Diese setzt er auf poetische und farbenfrohe Weise um und entwickelt eine Art kubistischen Fauvismus. Seine Vorbilder sind Paul Cézanne, Georges Braque und Fernand Léger. Im Laufe der Jahre werden seine Werke zunehmend abstrakter, es entstehen eng ineinandergreifende Formen, die eine neue Bildsprache begründen. Neben Pierre Soulages und Jean-Paul Riopelle gehört Estève zu einem der wichtigen Vertreter der lyrischen Abstraktion, die Mitte der 1940er Jahre mit der Nouvelle École de Paris entsteht und auch als Tachismus bezeichnet wird.
