Jean Jansem
The Masquerade by Jean Jansem

1970's

About the Item

The Masquerade, oil painting signed lower right JANSEM. The painting size is 38"x51" with framed (original frame) size 47"x60". Excellent in condition. From 1934 – 1936 he attended a variety of evening classes in Montparnasse and the Marais., but it was in the works of Picasso that he found his grand revelation.. Before he was sixteen he had been admitted to the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs (1936 - 1938) where Beianchon, Leguelt and Oudet exercised a silent and unobtrusive influence on the young artist. During 1937 he completed a training course at the Beaux-Arts and at Atelier Sabatier. In 1950 he went to Greece and it was in the Mediterranean that he discovered light, until then his painting had been sombre. Throughout the Greek countryside he eagerly sketched the shadowy figures who had surrounded him in his infancy and who until then had remained hidden in his subconscious mind - peasants, fishermen, tradesmen. All these he submitted to his friendly scrutiny, these men, women and children whose work was the same from one ocean to another and from one continent to another. He stripped them of the accessories that particular societies might have added to their essential, changeless characteristics.

  • My Self
    By Franz Bergmann
    Located in West Hollywood, CA

The painting is in good original condition, the frame has been restored. A biography on the artist appears below, please contact the gallery with any question. Franz Bergmann 1898 - 1977 Franz Walter Bergmann was born on August 6, 1898, in Dimling, Austria, a town northwest of Vienna. His parents were both involved in the arts: his mother was a pianist, and his father was an amateur artist and a violinist. After serving in World War I for three years, he enrolled in the National Academy of Art in Vienna and embarked on a seven-year course of study, focusing on figure painting and portraiture. Although schooled in the academic tradition, Bergmann also adopted elements derived from the more avant-garde German Expressionist style. By 1924 he was exhibiting in Vienna and Stockholm. The following year, he graduated with honors. He left Vienna to tour Europe, and in early 1926 he traveled to the United States. After a brief stay in New York, he moved to Chicago, where he obtained a commission to paint murals for theaters owned by Balaban & Katz. That year his mural sketches were exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago. He then moved to New York, where he joined the staff of the noted Austrian architect and designer Josef Urban...
