Vézelay was born Marjorie Watson-Williams in Bristol, England. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and the London School of Art before starting her career in London, as a figurative painter, where she had her first show in 1921. In 1926, she moved to France and changed her name to Paule Vézelay, possibly with the intention of aligning herself with the avant-garde School of Paris. Her move to Paris coincided with her abandonment of figurative painting in 1928 and she dedicated herself exclusively to abstraction. While living in France she gained success and recognition, and in the 1930s she became a member of the French abstract movement, Abstraction-Création. During her time in Paris she also met and fell in love with André Masson (1896-1987, see lot 217) with whom she had a relationship for several years. The onset of World War II forced her return to London where she had difficulty gaining the same type of respect from the British art community as she had in France. Nevertheless, she remained committed to abstract art, often in the form of floating, quasi-biomorphic shapes. She engaged in innovative approaches to abstraction through her thread and wire constructions, which are seen as a significant contribution to the modern abstract artistic movement and rank among her most original works (see lots 108-110). In 1952, the artist and publisher André Bloc (1896-1966) invited her to form a London branch of the Parisian Constructivist abstract movement Groupe Espace. She also formed a small group of British abstract artists who held an exhibition in 1955 at the Royal Festival Hall, which predated and anticipated the watershed 1956 Whitechapel Gallery exhibition, "This is Tomorrow." She was one of the first British artists to commit wholly to abstraction and her achievements were recognized with a retrospective exhibition at the Tate, London in 1983.

Paule Vezelay (1893-1984) Britain Grey Picture Silkscreen ed.76/150
Est: $400 - $600
Paule Vezelay (1893-1984) Britain Grey Picture Silkscreen ed.76/150 Signed lower right 68 x 47 cm, 98 x 73 cm framed LITERATURE: The Artist was born Marjorie Watson-Williams in Bristol, a daughter of the pioneering ENT surgeon, Patrick Watson-Williams [1863-1938]. Before the First World War she trained for a short period at the Slade & then at the London School of Art. She first gained recognition as a figurative painter, had her first London show in 1921 & was invited to join the London Group in 1922. She moved to France in 1926 & changed her name to Paule Vézelay possibly to identify herself with the School of Paris. In 1928 she abandoned figurative painting & made her first abstract work (now lost), from then on worked exclusively in an abstract mode. In 1929 she met Andre Masson with whom she fell in love & lived with for four years. Working side by side, both painted dreamlike surrealist works. Vezelay became well respected in modernist Parisian art circles & was elected in the 1930s to membership of the French abstract movement, Abstraction-Création, which was largely established as a reaction to Surrealism. On the outbreak of the Second World War she moved back to London, but had difficulty in gaining recognition by the British art establishment, possibly because of her identification with Paris at a time when the London art world was beginning to acquire its own separate & different reputation. However, in 1952 she was invited by Andre Bloc, president of the Parisian constructivist abstract movement Groupe Espace, to form a London branch of that movement. After many difficulties & the refusal of some leading British abstract artists to join (including Victor Pasmore), she was successful in forming a small group of painters, sculptors & architects who held an exhibition in the Royal Festival Hall in 1955 which anticipated many elements of the much better known 1956 Whitechapel Gallery exhibition, 'This is Tomorrow'. In the 1950s she made textile designs for Metz of Amsterdam & Heals of London. In many of her works, Vézelay's abstract imagery, such as floating quasi-biomorphic shapes, was outside the main characteristics of the constructivist approach. She had a lifelong aim of creating works which were "pleasing and happy" not terms generally associated with Constructivism. However, her view that ‘pure' abstract art enhanced the environment & her involvement with Groupe Espace in the 1950s which promoted the concept of a synthesis (or close collaboration) between architects, abstract painters & sculptors, place her at least in part within the Constructivist tradition. Her post-war textile designs for Heals also place her firmly within the 20th century Modern Movement. The Tate Gallery gave her a retrospective exhibition in 1983, a late recognition of the quality of her work & her significant place in art history as one of the first British artists to embark on a lifetime exploration & development of abstraction. Paule Vézelay was also included in Pallant House Gallery's Radical Women exhibition, focusing on the works of Jessica Dismorr & her contemporaries, in early 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paule_V%C3%A9zelay OTHER NOTES: Good condition, later framing
