Jean-Pierre Augier - Procession de penitents, c. 1970 (Felt-tip pen)
Jean-Pierre Augier (b. 1941)
Procession de penitents, c. 1970
Felt-tip pen
Dedicated and signed by hand, lower left: "A Yves Guerin en toute sympathie", signed "Augier"
Dimensions:
Sheet 29.7 × 21 cm (11 ?? × 8 ¼ in.) — Image: nearly the full sheet
Provenance: Livre d'Or de Yves Guerin, compiled 1963–1992 (single-owner provenance). Augier is a quintessential artist of the arriere-pays nicois, tying the sheet directly to the collector's Riviera milieu.
Description: A spare, elegant felt-tip drawing of four hooded penitents in procession, tall processional standards rising between them — a religious subject drawn from the Nicois and Provencal tradition of penitent brotherhoods. Jean-Pierre Augier is a French sculptor of the Nice hinterland (Levens / Saint-Blaise), the self-taught "magician of iron" who welds old abandoned tools into living figures; religious subjects are among his favourite themes, and he is first of all a fine draughtsman, always drawing his subjects before realising them. Named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (2003), he exhibits internationally and his collection is permanently shown at the Maison du Portal in Levens. Signed and dedicated by hand.
