Pierre Monay
Still Life with Flowers and a Fruit. Sign. Pierre Monay, french - swiss painter.

About the Item

Still Life with Flowers and a Fruit. Painted by Pierre Monay (Nancy, 1896 - Morges, 1974). Signed lower right. CIrca 1930s Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: - With frame: 70 x 61 cm - Without frame: 47 x 55 cm Wooden frame painted in ivory, well-preserved This still life features a bouquet of flowers, including anemones and a tulip, arranged in a white vase and accompanied by a fruit on a red patterned tablecloth. Pierre Monay's painting reflects a profound sense of materiality and density, with forms that exude weight and permanence. The rich blues of the flowers contrast with the earthy reds of the tablecloth, embodying a Cézannian approach where structure and color are interwoven to create an image of timeless solidity. The work's thick brushstrokes and deliberate composition evoke an almost sculptural presence, grounded in a restrained yet poetic intensity. In good condition, with well-preserved colors and frame. Artist's Biography: Pierre-Paul Monay, born in Nancy in 1896, trained at the École d'Art in Lausanne under Rodolphe-Théophile Bosshard. From 1925 to 1943, he lived and worked in Aix-en-Provence, where the influence of Cézanne shaped his exploration of form and color as expressions of physical and emotional depth. After returning to Switzerland during World War II, Monay settled in Morges and opened a gallery. His works are preserved in institutions such as the Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne and the museum in Morges. Bibliography: "Bénézit 1999, Vol. 9
