Rudolph Colao
Mid-Century Still Life Oil on Canvas of Chrysanthemums in Copper Vase.

1960s

About the Item

Mid-Century still life of chrysanthemums in copper vase, oil on canvas signed R Colao bottom left. A wonderfully colourful and vibrant still life, beautifully painted in his characteristic slightly impressionistic style. A quality piece as it is a work of his, oil on canvas. American artist Rudolph Colao created his still life paintings using actual bouquets or floral landscapes for inspiration. At the age of 33, in 1960, he received the Grand Prize award at the Washington Square Art Exhibit, a show of over one thousand artists. Texture and light, as well as perspective and depth, are key features in Rudolph Colao paintings. In 1995, artist Rudolph Colao won the Rockport Art Association's Excellence in Painting award for his stunning floral still life work. He was a member of the Allied Artists of America, and taught at two different U.S. art schools (the Art Students' League of New York, and The Scottsdale Artist's School in Arizona). Articles on the artist have appeared in American Artist Magazine (March 1975), Southwest Art Magazine (March 1982), American Artist Magazine (May 1982) and Focus/Santa Fe (Aug/Sept 1988).

The Tulips, Art Deco Still Life Oil on Canvas of Tulips in a Vase in an Interior
Located in Cotignac, FR
French Art Deco still life of a vase of tulips in an interior by Auguste Mallard. The painting is signed bottom right and presented in a period patinated wood frame. A colourful and strong painting of an interior view, a table with books and as the centre piece a beautiful blue ceramic vase with twisted handles holding a magnificent bouquet of brightly coloured tulips. Mallard has captured the abandon of the blooms in the vase, the way tulips twist and furl raising and lowering their beautiful colourful petals. The colours of the flowers really stand out against the more muted tones of the background, curtain and table. A very elegant and stylish painting. This painting has the feel of some of the still life works from the same period by Tamara de Lempicka who was a contemporary of Mallard painting...

Large Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas of Tulips Displayed in a Confit Jar.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Large early 20th century French oil on canvas of tulips displayed in a confit jar. Signed Jean Julien to the bottom left and presented in a period frame. A rather charming and romantic impression of a tulip display. The colour palette is soft and gentle, light and airy and the artist has managed to impart to the whole painting a chalky texture which gives the impression of soft focus. The tulips are delicately painted but with great precision and attention to detail. The artist has thought carefully about both the scale and the shape of the image. The elongated rectangle is a perfect fit for the long ranging tulip stems. A thoroughly charming painting. Jean Pierre Louis Joseph Julien was a French painter born in Marseille on the 12th of May 1888. Julien was a member of the Salon des Artistes Français, friend of Marcel Pagnol, Fernandel, Raimu and Tino Rossi. Guy Dornand called him “the ambassador of Provence in Paris”. Between the wars, he stayed in Italy, travelled to North Africa and designed posters for tourism, murals and theatre sets, while remaining faithful to his hometown. He was a member of the 'Association des Marseillais de Paris.' along with his colleague Auguste Durand-Rosé. In 1933 Emmanuel Pontremoli, director of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts proposed a design project for a school in Rue Saint-Martin, Paris. Several artists were given the chance to compete for this opportunity. Jean Julien impressed and was given the task. Julien taught at the School of Fine Arts in Paris and was also a drawing teacher at the Polytechnic School. Jean Julien died in Sanary-sur-Mer on the 5th of September 1974.
