PEACE OF THE INFINITE, AN OIL BY PIERRE DE CLAUSADE

* PIERRE DE CLAUSADE (FRENCH 1910 - 1976),
PEACE OF THE INFINITE
oil on canvas, signed
50cm x 100cm
Framed.
Note: Born in Paris on April 15, 1910 Pierre de Clausade’s formal education in architecture is evident throughout the body of work he produced until his death in 1976. After attending the Beaux-Arts Academy in Paris, he began endless experiments in an effort to develop an entirely personal method of expression. Clausade took his cue from the Cubists, with their simplified form and the Art Nouveau themes of order and harmony with monochromatic style and made it his own. His objective was to develop a style that was unique, but with which he was comfortable. After trials and failures lasting several years, he finally held his first exhibition at the 1941 Paris Salon where he was awarded a Silver medal. Thereafter he began exhibiting regularly at the Societe des Beaux Arts. In 1945, he was accepted as a member of the Salon d´Hiver and with the continued success of his Salon exhibitions, Clausade began receiving invitations to exhibit worldwide. In January 1953 he was awarded the Medaille d’ Argent by the jury of the Paris Salon. He died in 1976 and with him passed one of the most dramatic and striking individual expressions of art.
