Beautiful work by the painter Georges Mirianon which represents a circus camp in Rouen. The artists are resting or warming up before the performance.
The painter uses bright colors and plays on contrasts to create a harmony of colors and plays of light. Around 1950, the artist held thematic exhibitions, including those on the theme of the circus.
The painter then represents The Saint-Romain Fair and the circus on Duguay-Trouin Street in Rouen, a city of fairs and circuses.

In 1925, at the age of 15, he mentioned wanting to become a painter or sculptor. His parents opposed this and preferred to see him join the Prytanée militaire, now open to wards of the nation. He applied but was rejected for incapacity due to a heart injury.
His headmaster, always attentive to the projects of young war orphans, advised him to become an architect. He joined the School of Architecture and in 1926 decided to enroll in evening classes at the Beaux-Arts in Rouen. At the same time, he attended the Rouen sculpture workshop directed by Master Duparc before joining the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under the direction of the painter Lucien Simon. He began exhibiting in 1937 at the Galerie Legrip in Rouen with Fernand Guéroult.
From the 1930s onwards, the artist took a particular interest in drawing, as evidenced by his numerous notebooks.
Throughout his life, he addressed different themes and participated alongside other artists in the artistic life of Rouen.
During the years 1953 to 1957, Georges Mirianon produced relatively little and traveled to Europe.
Acclaimed by critics during his participation in exhibitions, the artist tackled all techniques: drawing, painting, stained glass...
