Monumental French Color Print by Henri Riviere Late 19th or Early 20th Century
About the Item
A late 19th or early 20th Century monumental color print by French artist Henri Riviere (1864 - 1951). The print shows a man and his horse in the French countryside, haystacks visible. The style is at once French and Japanese. From the artnet website, a short biography on Mr. Riviere "Henri Rivière was a French artist best known for his delicate illustrations of Breton landscapes and shadow puppet theater at the Chat Noir Cabaret in Paris. Both art forms showcased Rivère’s ingenious use of negative space, wherein he used contour and light to create complex scenes and figures with a realistic sense of depth. Born on March 11, 1864 in Paris, France, he studied with the painter Émile Jean Baptist Phillipe Bin and soon after began contributing illustrations to Parisian magazines and journals. Rivière was influenced by both Impressionism and especially the prints of Japanese artists Ando Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai, whom were popular in Europe at the time. Today, the artist’s works are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among others. Rivière died on August 24, 1951 in Paris, France." For a little bit more about the artist, I offer this short biography from the Armstrong Gallery site, "Many artists can be credited with helping develop the interest in color printmaking in the Western Hemisphere. However, only Henri Rivière (French, 1864-1951) can truly be called the father of this artistic development in Europe, and later the United States. Years before artists consider the artistic riches provided by lithography in color, and at a time when Japanese woodcuts are making their way onto Western art markets, Rivière create color woodcuts and a few years later color lithographs. These compositions are so far removed from the esthetic of late 19th century France that he does not immediately elicit praise. But other artists, and a broader public, soon discover his amazing compositions. From the late 1880’s to the onset of the First World War, Rivière is an artist whose colors and technique inspire whole generations." This large scale color print has been framed under plexiglass. The image size is approximately 32.5" wide by 21.5" high.

- 19th Century English Tinsel Print Portrait of Actor Retailed Saxon and ClemensLocated in Atlanta, GAA mid 19th century English full length portrait tinsel print hand colored and hand embellished, framed and retailed by Saxon and Clemens of New York City circa mid 20th century. This print depicts, "Mr. Freer as Marmion". This is one of three tinsel prints that I have available on my HKFA storefront here on 1stdibs. From the Robertson Davies Collection website, I would like to share with you this fascinating history of tinsel prints, "As the popularity of these prints became wide spread, bags of prepared tinsel decorations were sold along with the prints making them customizable by the purchaser. Thus after the tinseling process, no two prints would be identical. Tinsel prints emerged from the tradition of toy theatres. Once an appropriate model theatre was purchased, the public could buy prints depicting actors, actresses and scenery from plays that were being performed at the time and recreate those plays in their home. As the "juvenile drama" became popular, play books were published along side prints so the words of the plays could be recreated as well. While the genre flourished the desire to purchase a larger print of a specific actor or actress remained. Thus two types of theatrical prints became to be printed: those for juvenile dramas that were small and excluded specific actors names, and actors portraits that were larger and more individualized. In the larger theatrical portraits, characters were "always displayed full length" and "striking [a] habitual and dramatic pose". The 1830's marked the emergence of tinseling prints as a past time. Before this time, if an individual wished to embellish a portrait, individual sheets of metal foil would have to be purchased, measured and cut to fit an individual print. Once tinseling became common, different packages of precut tinsel (specific to the print)would be sold with each print as aforementioned. The term tinsel specifically refers to the metal sheets used to represent armor and weapons, but more broadly includes pieces of satin, silk, velvet, leather, and feathers among other embellishments. Although tinsel prints are now viewed as works of art, in the nineteenth century they were no more than a child's pastime. Most sources cite tinseling, as well as toy theatre, as being most popular among boys from the working class. Their popularity among boys could explain why male portraits were produced more frequently than female, however, it is more likely that male costumes, with their multiple pieces of armor and arms...Category
