Signed Grisot (lower left)
Pierre Grisot’s Jeune Femme au Parapluie captures the elegance of mid-twentieth century Parisian style. Known for his portraits of fashionable women, Grisot paints with freshness and spontaneity, using soft pastels and expressive brushwork to convey charm and movement. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts, Grisot remains celebrated for his ability to portray the spirit and allure of la Parisienne.
Grisot was born in 1911 in Paris. He was a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and exhibited frequently in Paris, in particular at the Salon des Independants and with the group of The Paris School, showing together with the contemporary artists Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy and Villon.He produced an engaging body of work that portrays a colourful and lighthearted world of young dancing girls, nude models, coquettes and ladies of leisure. Grisots favoured theme is the sharply dressed, self-assured young woman, who he portrays in bright colour with pixie-like facial features. His scenes are playful and sensual, and invariably raise a question from the viewer about what happens next.
