Gen Paul (1895-1975)
Born in Montmartre, Paris in 1895, the son of a café musician and embroiderer, Eugene Paul (known as Gen) enjoyed a childhood where his neighbours were Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Dongen, amongst others. Gen Paul initially worked as an upholsterer, but a severe injury during service in the First World War meant he could no longer work in this field. He determined to pursue his first love, drawing and painting, with help and encouragement from Juan Gris, Maurice de Vlaminck and Maurice Utrillo who all worked alongside Gen Paul in their various studios in Le Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre.
Pictured: L’Hippodrome, gouache on paper: 50 cm x 64 cm (framed: 82 cm x 96 cm), signed.
