| The Paul Rosenberg Gallery presents works by Pierre Girieud over the last two years and some of earlier ones. The set is quite remarkable and allows Pierre Girieud to hope for the greatest future.
From the meeting of these works there emerges I know not what atmosphere of divine nobility and serenity. The artist whose eminently decorative character asserts itself fully, enjoys the ancient compositions, and the inspiration of Puvis de Chavannes is certain. But the Artist's Muse is sweet who is looking forward to his personal research.
Sappho and Apollo the inspirer, Adam and Eve, and especially the exquisite Leda, reach to Beauty. The ordinance is quiet, and serious, and healthy. Landscapes, in quite a large number, reveal to Pierre Girieud a landscape painter with a very exact vision and delicate sensitivity. Let's mention the landscape at Eguilles, the Pilon du Roi and the Marseillais Plan.
Some dead nature and drawings happily complete this set of works that we had the greatest pleasure to contemplate. |
