"Appeasement" - Rye - Henri JULIEN (1907-1995) and Marie Nô PIN (1912-1998) Pseudonym chosen by the couple formed by Henri JULIEN (1907-1995) and Marie Nô PIN (1912-1998) to create four hands a very singular work. Henri JULIEN became a student of Edouard VUILLARD at the age of 20, and graduated a few years later from the École du Louvre and the École des Arts Décoratifs. Marie PIN studied Fine Arts and met Henri in 1937. They joined the surrealist movement, which allowed them to rub shoulders with André BRETON and Victor BRAUNER. They presented their first exhibition in Paris in 1951. They left the surrealist group shortly after while remaining very close to artists like Hans BELLMER, GIACOMETTI and Nicolas DE STAEL to open new creative pages. The painting represented here is a contemporary work of their surrealist companionship, which nevertheless stands out for its very original expression that can be found in several paintings from this period, combining animal silhouettes and plant elements, including fern and owl often represented in their work, in a composition that is reminiscent of Miro's paintings and in soft and harmonious tones.
