A rare work highlighted in our April 18 auction
Jules Perahim, a major figure of the Romanian avant-garde, will be featured in our upcoming auction on Friday, April 18 at 2 PM at Drouot, Room 7. Born in Bucharest in 1914, this cosmopolitan artist settled in France in the 1960s, where he developed a unique body of work blending surrealism, metaphysical symbolism, and fantastical imagery.
1971 Oil on Canvas: Artistic Maturity and Formal Freedom
The 1971 oil on canvas showcased in this sale exemplifies Perahim’s artistic maturity. With biomorphic shapes and vibrant colors, the painting immerses the viewer in a dreamlike and metaphorical world. During the 1970s, Perahim fully asserted his independence from dominant artistic movements and embraced a deeply personal visual language.
Limited Edition Ceramics: Decorative Arts as Dreamscape
In addition to his paintings, Jules Perahim explored decorative arts, as seen in two numbered ceramic plates titled Woman with Flowers. These limited editions fuse function with aesthetic expression. The recurring theme of a floral female figure—treated with finesse and an eye for detail—echoes the poetic and colorful world found in his paintings. Each plate stands as a unique art object, celebrating everyday beauty and the poetry of form.
A Visionary and Deeply Humanist Body of Work
Introspective yet socially engaged, Jules Perahim leaves behind a rare and profoundly humanist oeuvre. These three works featured in the sale—one canvas and two ceramics—offer a compelling insight into the depth and diversity of his artistic language.
