× Lucien Fontanarosa (1912–1975) Venise — le gondolier (Venice — the Gondolier), September 1973 Gouache with pencil and red crayon Dedicated, signed and dated by hand, lower edge: "à Yves Guérin, bien amicalement, septembre 1973", signed "Fontanarosa" Dimensions: Sheet 29.7 × 21 cm (11 ⅝ × 8 ¼ in.) — Image: the full sheet Condition: good condition, unframed Provenance: Livre d'Or de Yves Guérin, compiled 1963–1992 (single-owner provenance). Description: A vivid gouache of a Venetian gondolier — a tall figure in a striped jersey standing at his oar in the foreground, a second gondola and rower to the right, and the domes of Venice (the Salute) dissolving in warm ochre light behind, the whole built over a lively pencil-and-red-crayon underdrawing. Lucien Fontanarosa was a French painter and illustrator of Italian origin, a pupil of Lucien Simon, Premier Grand Prix de Rome (1936) and member of the Institut (1955); Venice, and the gondolier above all, was among his most beloved subjects — he made "Le Gondolier" the cover of the 1971 Peintres Témoins de leur Temps catalogue. An illustrator of Mac Orlan, Giono and Daudet, he also designed the 500-franc "Pascal" banknote, and exhibited with the sculptor Volti (also in this album). Signed, dated and dedicated by hand.
