Price of this enamel alone: €4,300 Jouhaud therefore represents a bather in the purest cubist style, he geometries and stylizes his motif as much as possible in the manner of an André Lhote, a Picasso or a Juan Gris, then he places its colors here in a monochrome of pinks, browns, purples, grays, white. An exceptional enamel! -the second represents young Art Deco women wearing bell hats, signed with the monogram at the bottom right + countersigned and dated 1925 on the back + old label L.Jouhaud the new studies, LL + label from the Marcilhac firm in Paris.

Price for the 2 enamels: €7,900 I no longer present Léon Jouhaud, the customers who follow me know my attachment to this famous Limousin painter, also a writer, ceramist and enameler, therefore son-in-law and student of Charles Bichet, having also worked with many painters from the Crozant school, such as Guillaumin, Detroy, Alluaud or Paul Thomas, another great friend of the painter, he even took care of having the latter's works repatriated when he died in Marseille in 1910. He exhibited at Rouard in Paris, or at Dalpayrat in Limoges etc... There are several works on his work. Its coast is international thanks to its enamels which can reach or even exceed €10,000 in sales.
