Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Jean-Claude Picot (1933-2020). "Embarcadero a Mantes la Jolie" ceramic wall plaque, 1984. Edition 41/60. Signed lower left. Signed and numbered on the verso. Created and fired at Atelier Bernard Leclerc (stamp and edition number on verso). A ceramic wall plate from a limited edition by Jean-Claude Picot, an artist whose oeuvre demonstrates the great influence of Fauvist masters Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck. Here Picot presents a figure fishing at the Embarcadero a Mantes-la-Jolie, a wharf in the Sena River, surrounded by crystalline blue waters dotted with charming sailboats with verdant foliage along the water's edge. Reviews of Picot's solo exhibitions in Paris, Oslo, and Bordeaux have compared Picot to Impressionist and Fauvist masters of the turn of the century and placed him in the illustrious tradition of French landscape painting. A wonderful composition that conveys an undeniable "joie de vivre" that is unique to Jean-Claude Picot! Size (plate): 9" L x 12.5" W (22.9 cm x 31.8 cm) Size (frame): 19.25" L x 22.5" W (48.9 cm x 57.2 cm) About the Artist: "Inspired by the Fauvist masters, Picot works in a Post-Impressionist manner reducing flowers, trees, houses and figures to their essential forms. All of his work is imbued with the same bright and cheerful character, and is instantly identifiable. Since 1947 he has exhibited in over 50 one-person shows throughout the world, including exhibitions in the United States, Belgium, Norway and Australia. Since 1956, Jean Claude Picot has been a full-time professional artist. He was greatly influenced by the works of the Fauvist masters Vlaminck, Derain and Matisse. These artists, whose exuberant canvases created great attention in the first decade of the 20th century due to their revolutionary use of color, texture and abstract form, have inspired Picot for decades and one finds many similar characteristics in his works. He developed a unique style that recalls a Post-Impressionist application of color combined with the expressive qualities of line. The world of his art is often one of a happy reflection on relaxation, and personal 'joie de vivre.' Picot captures the animation, romance and essence of the landscape as his favored subject, although he also creates still-life, cityscapes, markets, and festival scenes. His work abounds with natural beauty and breathtaking views charged with the unique light of the Mediterranean. Picot lives a part of the year in the south of France, and often draws on the Cote d'Azur—its visitors, its beaches and its boat-filled harbors. Picot actively works in many media – oil, acrylic, watercolor, etching, ceramic and most recently, serigraphy and embellished serigraphy, which beautifully capture his vibrant color and painterly technique. His work is a favorite of collectors internationally, and is represented in prestigious collections worldwide. In reviews of Picot's most recent solo shows in Paris, Bordeaux and Oslo, critics cited the affinities between the masters of the turn-of-the century Impressionism and early Twentieth Century Fauvism and the 61-year-old French artist, thus beginning to place his work in the art history of important French landscape painters. Today in the 21st Century, Picot continues the tradition of important French landscape painters."

Jean-Claude Picot Ceramic Plaque "Embarcadero..." (1984)
Est: $6,000 - $9,000
Jean-Claude Picot (1933-2020). "Embarcadero a Mantes la Jolie" ceramic wall plaque, 1984. Edition 41/60. Signed lower left. Signed and numbered on the verso. Created and fired at Atelier Bernard Leclerc (stamp and edition number on verso). A ceramic wall plate from a limited edition by Jean-Claude Picot, an artist whose oeuvre demonstrates the great influence of Fauvist masters Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck. Here Picot presents a figure fishing at the Embarcadero a Mantes-la-Jolie, a wharf in the Sena River, surrounded by crystalline blue waters dotted with charming sailboats with verdant foliage along the water's edge. Reviews of Picot's solo exhibitions in Paris, Oslo, and Bordeaux have compared Picot to Impressionist and Fauvist masters of the turn of the century and placed him in the illustrious tradition of French landscape painting. A wonderful composition that conveys an undeniable "joie de vivre" that is unique to Jean-Claude Picot! Size (plate): 9" L x 12.5" W (22.9 cm x 31.8 cm) Size (frame): 19.25" L x 22.5" W (48.9 cm x 57.2 cm) About the Artist: "Inspired by the Fauvist masters, Picot works in a Post-Impressionist manner reducing flowers, trees, houses and figures to their essential forms. All of his work is imbued with the same bright and cheerful character, and is instantly identifiable. Since 1947 he has exhibited in over 50 one-person shows throughout the world, including exhibitions in the United States, Belgium, Norway and Australia. Since 1956, Jean Claude Picot has been a full-time professional artist. He was greatly influenced by the works of the Fauvist masters Vlaminck, Derain and Matisse. These artists, whose exuberant canvases created great attention in the first decade of the 20th century due to their revolutionary use of color, texture and abstract form, have inspired Picot for decades and one finds many similar characteristics in his works. He developed a unique style that recalls a Post-Impressionist application of color combined with the expressive qualities of line. The world of his art is often one of a happy reflection on relaxation, and personal 'joie de vivre.' Picot captures the animation, romance and essence of the landscape as his favored subject, although he also creates still-life, cityscapes, markets, and festival scenes. His work abounds with natural beauty and breathtaking views charged with the unique light of the Mediterranean. Picot lives a part of the year in the south of France, and often draws on the Cote d'Azure its visitors, its beaches and its boat-filled harbors. Picot actively works in many media - oil, acrylic, watercolor, etching, ceramic and most recently, serigraphy and embellished serigraphy, which beautifully capture his vibrant color and painterly technique. His work is a favorite of collectors internationally, and is represented in prestigious collections worldwide. In reviews of Picot's most recent solo shows in Paris, Bordeaux and Oslo, critics cited the affinities between the masters of the turn-of-the century Impressionism and early Twentieth Century Fauvism and the 61-year-old French artist, thus beginning to place his work in the art history of important French landscape painters. Today in the 21st Century, Picot continues the tradition of important French landscape painters."

Jean Picot (1933-2020) French, Giclee
Est: $60 - $125
Jean Picot (1933-2020) French, Giclee. Depicts a beautiful Mediterranean view. Signature in print bottom right. Framed. Overall Size: 22 1/2 x 26 in. Sight Size: 17 1/4 x 21 in. Jean Claude Picot was born in Rouen, France in 1933. As a child he was exposed to the horrors of the Nazis first-hand as his beloved Normandy was devastated in World War II, and escaped into drawing and sketching to deal with the trauma. He aspired to depict life and joie de vivre in direct defiance of the death and hopelessness that Fascism brought, especially after his father was killed during D-Day. He was mostly self-taught, studying very briefly at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rouen before traveling to Paris when he was thirteen to explore other styles. Exposed to the work of the Fauves, particularly Vlaminck, Derain, and Matisse, he developed his own colorful, naive style, and his exuberant canvases caught the eye of an aspiring gallery manager, who gave him his first solo exhibition in 1947, when he was just fourteen years old. His Post-Impressionist works focused on landscapes, cityscapes, festivals, markets, and romantic moments whenever they included people. By the early 1950s he was exhibiting throughout Europe, with annual exhibitions around the world in the 1960s including the United States, Norway, and Australia. He lived part of the year in the south of France, where he was heavily inspired in his later years by the Cote d’Azure with its beaches and boat-filled harbors. Picot actively worked in many media, including oils, acrylic, watercolor, etching, ceramic, and later with serigraphy after gaining representation through Gagosian and Park West Galleries in the early 2000s. Picot passed away in August of 2020 due to complications from COVID-19, but his work remains a favorite of collectors internationally and can be found in countless corporate, private, and public collections worldwide.
