Forain, Jean-Louis: Studie eines vornehmen Herrn mit Zylinder
Est: €500 - €750
Studie eines vornehmen Herrn mit Zylinder. Schwarze Kreide. 23,5 x 13 cm. Signiert in brauner Feder "forain". Der Maler und Zeichner Jean-Louis Forain zählt zu den talentiertesten Chronisten des Pariser Großstadtlebens zur Zeit der Belle Époque. Forain debütierte als Zeichner 1876 in der Zeitschrift "La Cravache" und machte sich in der Folgezeit einen Namen als Illustrator für unterschiedliche Zeitschriften, wie "Vie parisienne", "Revue Illustrée", "Le Rire" und den "Figaro". Sein Stoffgebiet umfasste vor allem Sujets aus der Pariser Gesellschaft, ebenso wie aus der Halbwelt, der Börse und des Theaters. Die vorliegende, rasch hingeworfene, ausdrucksstarke Skizze eines vornehmen Herrn zeichnet sich durch die Virtuosität ihrer Behandlung aus und erinnert an vergleichbare Studien, die Forains bewundertes Vorbild Degas hinter den Kulissen der Pariser Oper notierte. Der flüssige, scheinbar mühelose Duktus erinnert auch an Zeitgenossen wie Giovanni Boldini und Paul-César Helleu. Meisterhaft ist der seidene Glanz des Zylinderhuts eingefangen, das beschattete Gesicht des Mannes verrät Melancholie und innere Unrast. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Jean-Louis Forain, 'J'Accuse!' Jean-Louis Forain Charcoal drawing relating to the Dreyfus Affair and Ãmile Zola, depicting a French soldier wearing a Kepi, 33 x 26 cm, n.d. ***Jâaccuse, (French: âI accuseâ) celebrated an open letter by Ãmile Zola to the president of the French Republic in defence of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer who had been accused of treason by the French army. It was published in the newspaper LâAurore on Jan. 13, 1898. The letter, which began with the denunciatory phrase âJâaccuse,â blamed the army for covering up its mistaken conviction of Dreyfus. In January 1898 Ãmile Zola took an important part in the defence of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jew unjustly accused of selling military secrets to Germany. On the front page of a Paris newspaper, the novelist published a terrific denunciation of French government officials, entitled âJâaccuseâ¦!â (âI Accuseâ¦!â) It was written as an open letter to FÃ©lix Faure, President of the French Republic, and accused the government of anti-Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair. The brave letter had much to do with freeing Dreyfus in 1899.
