STOP PRESS : A conference on Alfred Swieykowski will be given By the Art Historian Jerôme Buisson on september 30th 2023 in the painter's village, La Ferrière-sur-Risle. The Association's AGM will take place in the morning, followed by a restaurant meal, and a guided walk around the sites where paintings were made. Please email the secretary if you would like to attend : assoamisas@yahoo.fr

 

We have totally updated the 'Catalogue 1' section with many more excellent paintings and drawings than was possible previously !

 

In 2022, several fine paintings by Alfred have been put on the market, and the owners have kindly allowed the Association to include photos of them in the Inventory. These is now a total of some 130 known pencil or ink works, treating a wide range of subjects. Some were later used as the basis for oil paintings which we have on record. Not all the works were signed, but can be identified as authentic by their distinctive style.

 

The 2021-2022 colour Bulletin of the Association's activities has been published.

This year, around twenty paintings were rediscovered, several of which were mountain snow scenes, Alfred is considered by Art Historians as a 'Petit Maître' of  winter paintings....

We are continuing to prospect potential exhibition sites for the future, and have begun to give talks with slideshows in selected venues.

Bulletin back numbers in pdf format are available.

 

The Association would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many owners of the artist's paintings, who have sent in photographs of them over the past few years. 

The inventory is confidential and not directly accessible without permission from the owners of the paintings. The inventory of the complete works of the painter is a long-term project, as it is estimated that he must have completed more than a thousand at the very least, of which approximately 700 have been recorded. To this end we ask anyone who may know of a Swieykowski painting to contact the Secretary, using the contacts section in the site menu. We can also give advice on unsigned paintings. 

 

 The Art Historian Bernard Pataux has produced a treatise defining the work of Alfred Swieykowski. Please contact the Secretary if you wish to consult it.

 

Members may obtain a copy of the University mémoire on the works of the painter, studied by Madame Catherine Bouffaré at the Sorbonne.

STOP PRESS : Une conférence sur Alfred Swieykowski sera donnée par l'historien d'art Jerôme Buisson le 30 septembre 2023 dans le village du peintre, La Ferrière-sur-Risle. L'AG de l'Association aura lieu le matin, suivi d'un repas au restaurant, et une visite guidée autour des sites où il a peint. Veuillez contacter le Sécretaire si vous voulez participer : assoamisas@yahoo.fr

 

Nous avons totalement remanié le rubrique 'Catalogue 1', avec beaucoup plus de dessins et magnifiques tableaux : impossible auparavant !

 

 La lettre d'information 2021-2022, est disponible en version pdf. La crise sanitaire a ralentie les ventes de tableaux...mais ne nous a pas empêchés de parcourir les lieux pour retrouver les sites où Alfred a peinte ! Cette année, plus d'une vingtaine tableaux ont été retrouvés, dont plusieurs de paysages de neige en montagne!. Nos prospections, dans le but de cibler des lieux d'expositions futures se poursuivent....Nous lançons des soirées avec discours et diaporamas.

 

 Notre association voudrait saisir l'occasion ici de remercier les nombreux propriétaires de tableaux, et dessins de l'artiste, qui nous ont envoyé leurs photos ces dernières années.

 

 Il en résulte que l'inventaire a augmenté de façon spectaculaire, et que des dizaines d'oeuvres vinrent s'ajouter par an.

 

 Ainsi, notre connaissance analytique du style du peintre a considérablement progressé, ce qui nous permet de donner des informations plus précises aux propriétaires qui nous contactent à propos de leurs tableaux. Nous vous engageons donc à continuer de nous aider à établir un inventaire grâce à l'envoi de vos photos dont les droits demeurent strictement confidentiels. 

 

 Les membres de l'Association des Amis d'Alfred Swieykowski peuvent obtenir sur simple demande  une copie du mémoire de maîtrise produit par Madame Catherine Bouffaré à la Sorbonne..
