Georges GUYOT (1885-1972)
Couple of TIGERS
Oil on Canvas
Circa 1920-30
Condition: Cleaned and Restored
Georges Lucien Guyot (born December 10, 1885 in the 11th arrondissement of Paris and died December 31, 1972 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, was a French wildlife artist. From an early age, Georges Guyot showed artistic
ability, but his parents' modest circumstances prevented him
from studying art. So he apprenticed
with a woodcarver. Guyot excelled at copying works from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, but he soon developed an attraction for nature. This attraction led him to the Jardin des Plantes, where he could study wild animals and translate his observations into sculptures and paintings. A familiar figure in Montmartre, Georges Guyot was a guest at the Bateau-Lavoir from the time of Cubism. In 1931, he joined the Groupe des Douze, founded by François Pompon and Jane Poupelet, which brought together sculptors such as Marcel Lémar, Paul Jouve, André Margat, Jean-Claude de Saint-Marceaux, Georges Hilbert and even painter Adrienne Jouclard. After the Liberation, he was elected mayor of Neuville-sur-Oise.
Very much in vogue in his day, he had to wait until 1970 for
an exhibition devoted exclusively to his work. He occupied
Picasso's studio at Bateau-Lavoir, where he died on the last day of 1972. Source : Wikipedia
