François GALL (1912-1987) Les deux bouquets au compotier, 1957 Oil on canvas Signed lower left 61 x 46 cm; with frame 82 x 67 cm Bibliography : - François Gall, by André Flament, Editions Vision sur les Arts, Paris, p 29 Among the fresh bursts of country bouquets, often combined with newspapers, pipe and tobacco tin, chess sets, the same fluted glass, and fruit from the garden of grandfather Ferdinand, a cartwright in Martel-en-Quercy. "Tasty, pulpy pieces of paint [...] where the colors seem to harmonize by themselves", as if extracted from the tapestries in the background. François Gall (1912-1987) After the dark, social subjects of the war years, Gàll Ferencz discovered light and freedom in the France he had chosen, a dream of his teenage years spent at the Nagybànya School, the Hungarian Barbizon of Transylvania.

"...from intimacies to landscapes, Gall extends his visual field with a brio that brings to mind the masters of the early twentieth century. His work is clear and joyful, full of optimism like the man himself. He makes us witness a perpetual feast of color and light". (Jean Bouret, excerpt from the exhibition catalog). A naturalized François Gall, he lovingly painted Parisian life, posing Eugénie, their three children, collectors and friends.

François GALL (1912-1987) Les demoiselles du Pont Neuf en été or Conversation on the Pont Neuf, 1972 Oil on canvas Signed lower right 81 x 100 cm; with frame 103 x 120 cm Exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français 1978. Here, on the Pont Neuf, Gall's first open-air studio opposite his attic on rue Dauphine, is his youngest daughter Elizabeth-Anne with her childhood friend.
