Yves Diey 1892-1984
Yves Die was mobilized during the First World War in the 8th train squadron. Wounded, he was hospitalized at the Montpellier military hospital. He stayed in hospitals from 1914 to 1922. Yves Die was a student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he entered the studio of Raphaël Collin (1850-1916) and received the influences of masters such as Tony Robert- Fleury (1797-1890) and Adolphe Déchenaud (1868-1926). Given his age, he was mainly influenced by two of his masters: Hans Berger (1882-1977), a painter of Swiss origin, and Louis-François Biloul (1874-1947). Member of the Salon of French artists, he painted nudes and "elegant necklines" that the postcard has popularized, portraits and still lifes. The subjects that make up his work are animated scenes of Paris — which, like Eugène Galien-Laloue, he restores to "the age of horse-drawn omnibuses" —, the Ile de Ré, Spain, from Morocco and Algeria. In addition to these themes, his temperament as a traveler is expressed by the presence of his works in Canadian private collections. Yves Die is medalist and awarded at the Salon des artistes français. He will also be a member of other painting associations, such as the Salon d'hiver, the fine arts of Nice, the orientalists of Algiers and Samothrace. In 1940, Yves Die hosted the Petit Salon de Montparnasse — an association of professional painters — in a studio located at 150, boulevard du Montparnasse. He worked and exhibited in Belgium in the 1950s and 1960s, with “Les arts en Europe” in particular. Yves Die is above all a portrait painter. He has a special gift for bringing out the soul of models and giving exceptional expression to the eyes and lips [ref. necessary]. He is essentially inspired by women and shows a predilection for sensual nudes, seductive female figures. Beyond the nudes, he paints or draws scenes of Parisian life, but also many Andalusian women as well as market performances when he travels to Spain, Morocco or Algeria. Yves Die died on July 22, 1984 in Montluçon. He is buried in the family vault of the cemetery of Levallois-Perret. It is referenced in the main quotation books such as the Bénézit and on www.artprice.com/ with great sales.
