Parc des buttes-chaumont' in paris, gouache on art paper, by lucien génin (circa 1930s). A charming depiction of well turned out parisians enjoying a day at the park. Boaters, strollers and swans all co-mingle around the peaceful lake. The reflection of the rocky bluff in the water is superbly treated by génin. It's a cheerful and uplifting image of days-gone-by in 1930s paris. The park takes its name from the 'bare hill' (chauve-mont) that once occupied the site. It became a place where gypsum was mined, and where the limestone was quarried to be used in buildings in paris and the united states. Worse, though, it was a site that also became a dumping ground. Luckily, during the 19th-century renovation of paris under napoleon iii, chauve-mont was chosen as a place for a large park, as part of the emperor's fascination with endowing paris with green spaces. The artificial lake created at that time wraps around a hilly central island. The lake attracts waterfowl and other birds and is stocked with fish. The 19th-century planners cleaned up the site and added tons of soil to fill the pits left by a limestone mining operation. Then dynamite was used to ''sculpt'' the site into the craggy shapes seen today, including the 50-metre-high central hill with cliffs, an interior grotto, pinnacles, and arches. Up on top, overlooking the rest of the park - and depicted in this artwork - is a small, round belvedere, based on the roman temple of vesta in italy. From that spot you can see a lovely view of montmartre and the white cupolas of the sacre-coeur. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It has been newly framed and glazed with museum-quality glass (anti-reflective and uv protection) to preserve this significant artwork for decades to come.
about the artist: after the devastation of the first world war, lucien génin (1894 - 1953) left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively parisians in the heart of montmartre. Génin befriended the painters frank will, gen paul, émile boyer, marcel leprin, as well as max jacob and dorival. Not concerning himself with producing ''art'', he beautifully captured the spirit of paris between the wars while enjoying a truly bohemian existence. Génin's works, in all their forms, perfectly convey the eclectic and friendly characters of the city. More than a painter of paris, génin is a painter of parisians, of the passion that animates all his characters in the big city. He painted them in the alleys of montmartre, dining on place du tertre, singing in the lapain agile, or in a car passing by on the grands boulevards. He exhibited his works at the salon d'automne in 1930. Those paintings were witness to the end of the roaring twenties and the beginning of the world depression of 1929. The art critics stated that he created intelligent, composed, colourful, sensitive, skilful, delicate, humorous and witty works of art. A painting by lucien génin was awarded a prestigious prize from the art institute of chicago in 1932. When they do become available, génin's artworks inspire spirited bidding at international auction houses as values increase along with his stature in the art world. This gallery holds several works by génin on this platform. Dimensions with frame: h 62 cm / 24.4'' w 76 cm / 29.9'' dimensions without frame : h 48.5 cm / 19.1'' w 63 cm / 24.8''
