In Automne d'or, celebrated French artist André Brasilier exquisitely conveys the essence of his distinctive style, merging expressive lyricism with a serene autumnal atmosphere. This mesmerizing scene reflects Brasilier’s signature themes: a symphony of rich hues and a profound connection to the natural world. Famed for his poetic interpretations of horses, Brasilier presents a vibrant tableau where a procession of powerful horses and their riders gallops through a landscape ablaze with the fiery tones of fall.
Rendered with elegant simplicity, the horses exude a quiet power and grace. Brasilier’s use of broad, sweeping areas of color imparts harmony and depth to the composition, and his meticulous study of equine form and movement is on full display. The autumnal setting bursts with vibrant golds and russet tones, as the foliage glows beneath a soft, diffused light, illustrating Brasilier’s masterful ability to balance bold color with delicate atmospheric nuance.
Born to artist parents, Brasilier was steeped in the art world from a young age. He trained at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and swiftly gained recognition, winning both the Prix Florence Blumenthal in 1952 and the Prix de Rome in 1953. A rare honor, Brasilier had a retrospective at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg alongside only one other artist, Pablo Picasso. His works exhibited with the likes of Braque, Chagall and Miro, are celebrated worldwide and reside in prominent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
