Framed Oil on Canvas, 'Lune Dormeuse Aux Champignons' by Jean Aujame

About the Item

I was delighted to find this evocative and exciting oil on canvas painting by the French Artist Jean Aujame. The piece is entitled 'Lune Dormeuse Aux Champignons', and was exhibited in his retrospective. It was painted in 1955 at the height of his painting career. I am captivated by the textures and shapes and colours used. A simple black frame sets it off perfectly. Pierre François Claude Jean Aujame (May 12, 1905 – July 5, 1965), known professionally as Jean Aujame, was a French painter. Jean Aujame was born on May 12, 1905, in Aubusson in Creuse. In 1923, he created the Society of Norman Artists. He did his military service in Algeria between 1927 and 1929, then moved to Paris in 1930. He made many exhibitions and traveled to the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. Jean Aujame lived in Sauvagnat-Sainte-Marthe in Auvergne from 1949 to 1965. He was buried in Sauvagnat. His works are preserved, among others, at the Museum of Modern Art in the city of Paris, in the museums of Albi, Grenoble and Guéret.

Expressionist Tactile Botanical Oil on Canvas Painting Framed
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An exquisite example of this artist's traditional take on still-life realism, and a masterpiece in its own rite. This floral painting represents the artist's awe for botanical and floral scenes as well as his or her adept knowledge of tactile painting. With broad sweeping strokes and high texture, the artist paints a portrait of a small circular Ombre deep blue vase, filled with creamy white ranunculus or buttercups with berry color centers, green eucalyptus and small accents of white hydrangea. Oil on canvas. Framed roughly in a small wood frame, with gilt painted accent inside. How we would display: A botanical painting will forever bring a certain feeling of femininity and softness to a room. This piece would be wonderful displayed in a space with too many harsh lines. Alternatively, we suggest hanging this as part of a grouping of other floral portraits on a large wall to add interest. Another favorite of ours for art is to display pieces on their own in a bedroom. Such as a guestroom or child's room. Hung just above a nightstand (we currently love the idea of using a bombe chest), and just above a table lamp, (perhaps a lamp with a Caprani...
