Description

Eugéne Robert Pougheon (1886-1955)
Sheet of studies for 'Les Captives'
Charcoal, coloured chalks, watercolour, 455 x 575 mm (17 7/8 x 22 3/4 in), under glass, some minor rubbing and light surface dirt, framed [circa 1932]

⁂ Traditionally understood to relate to Pougheon's 'Les Captives', a painting presented at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1932, and recorded in the tapestry at the National School of Aubusson in 1933.

Eugène Robert Pougheon pursued his artistic education at both the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. His talent earned him a silver medal at the Paris Salon in 1927, followed by a gold medal in 1929. Throughout his career, Pougheon maintained close ties with the artists of the Bordeaux school, including Jean Dupas, René Buthaud, Jean Gabriel Domergue, Raphael Delorme, Jean Despujols, and Alfred Janniot. These artists, and Pougheon himself, became closely associated with the Art Deco movement; the influences of which are apparent in the solidity and monumentality of the figures depicted in the studies for 'Les Captives'.
