YVES BRAYER - Lot 320
YVES BRAYER
Upon his selection for the Grand Prix de Rome for Painting, 1930. Photo by Henri Manuel, vintage silver print, numbered on the image and captioned (photographer’s credit and date) on the back. 17.8 x 13 cm, including white borders.
Note: This photograph, taken by Henri Manuel in 1930, captures Yves Brayer at the moment of his selection for the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome for Painting, an honor that marked the beginning of his official recognition. At the age of twenty-seven, the artist established himself as one of the rising stars of French painting. Throughout his career, Brayer would develop a figurative body of work deeply rooted in landscapes, regional traditions, and scenes of Mediterranean life, becoming one of the most celebrated painters of the 20th century. Created by Henri Manuel, a renowned portraitist of figures from the political, artistic, and cultural worlds, this vintage print serves as a valuable testament to the early career of an artist destined to occupy an important place in modern French painting.
