Inscription on the back: “Paul Vera, student of Maurice Denis.”
A versatile artist, Paul Vera (1882–1957) was a painter, printmaker,
illustrator, tapestry designer, ceramicist, and decorator. Born in Paris, he studied
at the Académie Julian, the Ateliers d’Art Sacré, the École des
Beaux-Arts, and later the Académie Ranson. The Nabis painters Maurice Denis and
Paul Serusier were among his teachers. He exhibited at the Salon d’Automne
beginning in 1904.
He founded a group called L’Atelier Français with Louis Süe, André
Groult, Gustave Louis Jaulmes, Roger de La Fresnaye, and André Mare.
This work, created in the early 20th century, straddles the boundaries between the
Pont-Aven School, Expressionism, and Fauvism.
The Municipal Museum of Saint-Germain-en-Laye houses a significant
collection of works by Paul Vera: watercolors, paintings, tapestries, engravings,
ceramics, and porcelain.
