"Well, madam, you do not understand? ... an honest woman must not seem to understand it."
Artist: Jules Abel Faivre was born in Lyon, France. He attended École Nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon for three years. He then attended the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian. He was a member of the Société des Artistes Français. He lived in La Croix-Valmer. Professionally, he created propaganda posters for the French Army in World War I. He drew comics for Le Rire, L'Écho de Paris, and Le Figaro.
Dimensions (work): 10.5" square / Dimensions (frame): 18.5" square
Elegant, humorous piece with lovely vintage frame and matte - I believe it was from L'Echo de Paris or Le Figaro - still researching. Does not need reframing. Nice to see a Faivre that doesn't address WW1 - Refreshing. Would look lovely in a study or home office/ library.
I love this piece - Please give it a good home - I have 100% positive feedback - Buy with confidence.
Jules Abel Faivre
: "Born in Lyons, 1867, died in Paris, 1945. Faivre is perhaps best remembered today for his posters, especially the stirring "on les aura" done during the First World War, but he was also a busy cartoonist, contributing from 1895 on to Le Rire, Le Journal, Le Figaro and L'echo de Paris. As a painter (he executed church murals in Saint-Maixent in western France) he was noted for his renderings of pink-cheeked girls and babies, whereas his humorous drawings are on the grotesque side."
