André Maire (1898-1984)

The elephants of the Indian temple achieved a well-deserved result, followed by iconic chairs designed for Chandigarh by Pierre Jeanneret.

The painter takes us on his discovery of South India, with a privileged visit to the temple in Madurai and an unforgettable encounter with its sacred elephants.

André Maire was what is called an explorer-painter. He was twenty-one when he set out for Indochina and discovered Angkor. He followed this with further travels in Europe, Africa and the East. As witness this oil on panel, Buffles sacrés à Kapurthala of 1939.

An invitation to faraway journeys was illustrated by the magnificent palettes of two traveling artists.

Under the leadership of its director, Mathieu Deldicque, the Musée Condé-Château de Chantilly is staging the very first exhibition in France devoted to the famous cabinetmaker. An opportunity to admire André-Charles Boulle's finest creations and identify his pieces more accurately.

The sun's rays pierce this large composition signed by André Lanskoy. An ode to color, the leitmotif of the Russian artist throughout his career.

More than a fine panoramic view of the papal city, this landscape pays tribute to France’s cultural heritage.

Ambroise Vollard acquired this 1905 work, which has not been seen since it entered the Fischof-La Foux Collection. Its rediscovery is an event to follow.

After a surge of interest from institutions in the past five years, the market is reassessing the unjustly forgotten French postwar painter.

Incised “exemplaire d’auteur ½”, a 23 ct gold pendant by the Fauvist painter is expected to fetch €17,000/23,000 at Adam's in Dublin on September 14.
