To celebrate the opening of our new Mayfair gallery at 21 Woodstock St, we are delighted to present a selection of masterworks by artists of the “Jeune Ecole de Paris” who came to the fore in the immediate post-war years following the Liberation of Paris in 1944. Including Gustave Singier’s vibrant kaleidoscopic composition “La Guitare, 1944”, Jean Le Moal’s poetic “Objets Devant Une Fenêtre, Le Soir, 1945”, and Leon Gischia’s lyrical “La Dormeuse, 1947”.
