Gen Paul (1895-1975) Eugène Paul dit Gen Paul est né dans une maison de la rue Lepic à Montmarte et commence très tôt à dessiner et à peindre. Son père meurt alors qu'il n'a que dix ans, et le jeune homme apprend à construire des meubles décoratifs. Il est blessé à deux reprises lors de la Première Guerre Mondiale et doit se faire amputer d'une jambe. Durant sa convalescence, il reprend ses pinceaux, fréquente le Bateau-Lavoir où il côtoie Juan Gris qui lui sera d'un grand soutien. Artiste autodidacte, ses premières oeuvres sont fortement influencées par ses amis artistes de Montmartre, notamment Vlaminck, Utrillo et Frank-Will. Gen Paul expose pour la première fois au Salon d'automne et au Salon des indépendants à Paris en 1920, époque à laquelle il compte parmi ses amis Henri-Martin Lamotte, et côtoie Camille Pissarro et le groupe des " Partisans ". Pendant la période de l'entre-deux-guerres, de 1925 à 1929, son coup de pinceau devient plus mouvementé et il juxtapose volontiers des motifs colorés à des parties réalistes. Il expose aux côtés de Soutine et Picasso. Ses oeuvres sont souvent gaies et pleines d'optimisme, nourries de sa passion pour la vie et la simplicité du quotidien. En 1934, il est décoré de la Légion d'honneur et reçoit en 1937 la commande d'une grande fresque pour le Pavillon des vins de France à l'Exposition internationale de Paris. Gen Paul est considéré par de nombreux historien d'art comme le précurseur des formes de l'Expressionnisme abstrait des années 50. Outre des scènes de Montmartre et des portraits de son ami le compositeur Darius Milhaud, on connaît de Gen Paul des peintures et dessins réalisés aux États-Unis dont des scènes de jazz et musiciens classiques, sujets pour lesquels il manifestait beaucoup d'intérêt.

WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

The crisis was DR virtually forgotten. Art once again remained faithful to its reputation: costly, but highly coveted – and truly indispensable for some.

Jean Dufy & Gen Paul
WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES Jean Dufy & Gen Paul Génération de Montmartre WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES Since 1870, and through three generations of the Findlay family, Wally Findlay Galleries International has maintained a tradition of identifying, supporting and promoting artists of extraordinary talent. And our commitment to offering excellence and authenticity has become a hallmark of the gallery. Our current exhibition, Jean Dufy & Gen Paul / Génération de Montmartre continues this tradition. For close to sixty years - since the 1950s - beginning when Wally Findlay and Jean Dufy forged a lasting friendship that evolved into Dufy’s emergence as one of the premier artists of the century – we have been proud to celebrate his paintings, watercolors, gouaches and drawings worldwide. We were one of the first to bring Dufy’s magical artistic vision to an American audience, and were privileged to continue providing American collectors with authentic works after his death, by conferring closely with his sister, Germaine Dufy, appointed by the French Government as sole owner of the moral rights to the complete work of her brother. And there could be no better artist to exhibit alongside Dufy’s works than Gen Paul. It was Dufy who first brought him to Wally Findlay’s attention, and again, an enduring forty-year relationship ensued. Both were observers of the swirling, energetic, colorful world of France in the flamboyant early years of the 20th century. For Dufy the sights and sounds of Paris, the city he knew so well, became animated, visionary images capturing beauty and joy, yet still serene. The oils and watercolors included in the current exhibition span the years from 1913 through 1960.

Vues Forcées, De Diagonales, Zébrures Et Zigzags, Juxtaposant Des Motifs Colorés Abstraits À Des Parties Réalistes
Gen Paul a peint ses premières toiles entre 1919 et 1924 sous le pseudonyme de Paul Trelade. Eugène Paul naît dans une maison de Montmartre, au 96, rue Lepic, laquelle a vu passer de nombreux artistes, et pratique dès son jeune âge le dessin et la peinture. Sa mère est brodeuse et son père, qui est musicien de cabaret, meurt alors qu'il n'a que dix ans. Gen Paul est d'abord formé pour construire des meubles décoratifs. La Première Guerre mondiale éclate. Il y est envoyé comme soldat et blessé deux fois, dont une fois gravement : il perd une jambe. Pendant sa convalescence, il se remet à peindre et devient ami, au Bateau- Lavoir, avec Juan Gris, qui l'a beaucoup aidé. Il est nommé chevalier de la Légion d'honneur le 20 octobre 1934. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Gen Paul est proche d'Otto Abetz et des milieux collaborationnistes et antisémites, mais il échappe à l'épuration à la fin de la guerre. Bien que Gen Paul n'ait pas fréquenté les Beaux-Arts lors de sa formation, il se montre assez doué pour vivre de son art durant près de 60 ans. Ses premières œuvres semblent refléter de nombreuses influences croisées, dont celles de ses amis de Montmartre : Maurice de Vlaminck, Maurice Utrillo et Frank-Will, mais il développe rapidement une personnalité teintée d'un expressionnisme qui reflète des influences aussi variées que celles de Toulouse- Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, et avant eux Goya, Diego Vélasquez, El Greco, influences que l'on retrouve à cette époque chez son ami Henri-Martin Lamotte.
