Yves Brayer (1907 - 1990) France
Yves Brayer (1907 - 1990) Watercolor on Paper, Signed, Measures ( 8 x 10 inches ) w/frame ( 11.5 x 13.5 inches ) Yves Brayer studied from 1924 at the Academy in Montparnasse and later at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts under Lucien Simon. During this time he exhibited for the first time in the Salon d'Automne and in the Salon des Indépendants. In 1927 he received a state scholarship and went to Spain, where his autodidactic study of the great masters in the Prado had a decisive influence on him. After traveling to Morocco and Italy, he settled in Paris in 1934. In 1942 he designed costumes and sets for a ballet at the Paris Opera. His oeuvre proves to be very diverse: In addition to a preference for copperplate engravings and lithographs, the Frenchman also created large-scale paintings with landscapes, everyday scenes, portraits and still lifes. He was particularly fascinated by the Mediterranean conditions in Spain, Italy and southern France because of their natural, wild harmony.
