Bruno Delvigne / Guy Depiere / Raoul Dufy / Ton Etman



A nice watercolor from this Belgium based artist. 
He uses refunded techniques in order to create a
world of his own and all elements have a role in it.
Work on paper. Dimensions: 56 / 75 cm.


His signature which is immediately recognizable
and besides that most of his works have  a paper
on the back that gives a description of the artist.


A rather big oil painting by this artist.




Guy Depierre




The works of Guy Depiere are hardly to trace.
There is a belgium artist Guy Depiere who lived in
Brussels and had a studio for strips and cartoons.
He was internationally appraised and by looking
at these gouaches the talent is certainly there.
It appears to be in fact the same person that made the
big boat litho's for commercial purposes.
We think this is a vue on one of the sidewings of the
Louvre. Watercolour. Dimensions 50 - 70 cm.



This gouache by the same artist is also made in Paris.
Actually it is the Tuilerie (Garden of the Louvre)
based on the fact that this has been added in pencil under the
signature lower right: Tuilery
Watercolour. Dimensions 50 - 70 cm.




Dufy allways seems to create a cheerful mood.
He often had musicians as a subject of his work.
Work on paper. Dimensions: 35 - 45 cm.



This litho on Arche paper has been stamped outside the actual picture.
This is an original litho from the ateliers that stamped Dufy's litho's
during his lifetime! Work on paper. Dimensions 50 / 70 cm.


One of his beloved subjects: Sailing vessels in Deauville.


This litho must have come from a book. Nobody
was interested. We were!


The litho presented here must have been one of his last ones
as he died in March 1953. Raoul Dufy did a lot of litho's
with flowers as a subject but until now we didn't find an
opportunity to buy one. And now two at a time!
This one has been done on Arches paper and the 
printing has been done painstakingly as it almost 
appears to be a litho that has been handcoloured in.
The signature as well seems to have been done in
paint. Just study the next picture by enlarging it!





From the same owner this litho has been bought.
A different kind of paper has been used for printing.
Slightly discolored but for a more than 60 years old litho..


This lithograph most likely has been taken out of a book
that was published by the Librairie Academique Perrin.
If so, and that can be derived from the vertical marking
in the middle, then it was published in 1965 together
with works of some other artists. The name of this work
"La Fee Electricite" is pointing towards a work by Dufy
made in 1937 still present in the Museum d'Art Moderne
in Paris (France). Quite a huge work of which a litho  
has been made with enormous dimensions as well!
Work on paper. Dimensions (this one) 30 / 46 cm.


This one is called "Coupe des Fruits".



Ton Etman




This is an early work by this Dutch artist: Still in a naturalistic
way he gives an impression of the South France or even maybe
a Spanish landscape. Work on panel. Dimensions: 65 / 80 cm.


This canvas is called: "Entfuhrung aus dem Serail" which
is the title for a Mozart opera. Probably a sight from above
and you can perceive a camel in the lower part.
Work on canvas. Dimensions 80 / 80 cm.


In almost the same vivid colours he produced this landscape
with cows. This painting is giving the spectators a very
"Dutch"  feeling as the laundry is hanging in the meadow
as well. Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 80 / 100 cm.
