FINE ART FOR THE PASSIONATE COLLECTOR

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Georges Emile Taillefer (1921 - 2006)

We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase Taillefer, a master of the post-impressionist style. Georges Taillefer was a french artist from the Occitane region. With a well-developed sensibility for visual beauty and spatial harmony, he began his craft in the picturesque city of Rouen, where the art scene was flourishing, Later, he moved to Paris where he not only painted profusely, but worked as an architect with considerable success. He also became known for his affiliation with the older and already-famous Albert Malet, who influenced Taillefer. Taillefer, however, extended his work into a bolder and more dynamic direction than did the softer artistic style of the Malet and his contemporaries. Later he joined the Rouen School as one of the leading post impressionist artists of the day. He exhibited at the Paris Salons, mostly in the peak of the mid-century Paris art scenes of 1960/61. His work is perennially joyful, celebrating the true beauty of his country. Foreign Affair has been able to secure several wonderful signed examples of his paintings in original frames. Because of his broad appeal, both art patrons and designers seeking a “fit” for a project can find an excellent selection in a Georges Emile Taillefer work. Please check the measurements as they vary in size.
