Detailed description
Picture "Au Claire de la Lune No. 81", framed
The work of Frenchman Bernard Peltriaux celebrates a period long gone: the 1920s when Paris was the centre of the world in terms of art and style. Not only fashion changed but also the role of women. Peltriaux's elegantly dressed ladies present themselves as strong, even charismatic women throughout. They are modern women who know very well how much they differ from the generations of their mothers and grandmothers - and how much they open up new paths and opportunities in life for their daughters one day.

About Bernard Peltriaux
1921-1999
Bernard Peltriaux was born in Reims, which is in the northeast of France. He went to René Jaudon's studio in Paris after finishing his art studies. Impressed by the social life of the time, he slowly became a typical artist of the French scene. Sensitive, rich in detail and with a touch of exclusivity, Peltriaux painted scenes at horse shows with beautiful women, life in the bistro, in the bar and the lido.
The French painter's great theme was the woman of the Belle Époque and the "Roaring Twenties" in Paris between the world wars. However, it would be a misunderstanding to see him as a painter of "historical" subjects, as he had only experienced this period as a youth. Peltriaux's choice of subject is justified differently: It gives him the opportunity to imbue his female figures with the glamour of those times when not only fashion but the role of women was changing. Peltriaux's elegantly dressed ladies show themselves throughout as strong, even charismatic women. They are modern women who know very well how much they differ from the generations of their mothers and grandmothers – and how much they thus open up new paths and opportunities in life for their daughters one day.
Peltriaux's works have won many awards and are in private collections in France, Portugal, Morocco, Germany, the USA, Belgium, Vietnam and Iran.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
