Giusto's work has been something of a mystery, with a wealth of incredible art in his name but with a very slim biography to accompany it - in recent years, connections have been made between signed works of Giusto and its distinct likeness to the style of Eugene Galien-Laloue. Galien-Laloue's work underwent extensive research by Noe Willer, who published a book documenting many of his pseudonyms and works. In cataloguing a work offered at auction, Sotheby's noted "F. Giusto" as being an identified pseudonym for Eugene Galien-Laloue. DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 26.8 x 42.5 ins/ 68.0 x 108.0 cm SIGNED: Signed ‘F. Giusto’ (lower right) MEDIUM: Oil on canvas

This painting depicts the well-known view of Park Avenue in New York in a beautiful impressionistic manner. The larger building is currently the Met Life building but at the time this painting was created, it was the Pan Am building. The building was completed in 1963 so during this painting, it would have still been under construction. It’s a real New York Landmark. The painting is filled with tones of grey and brushes of white to demonstrate the scene filled with snow in the heart of winter.

DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 3.5 x 4.7 in. / 9 x 12 cm SIGNATURE: Signed 'Herbert Gunn' and dated (lower centre) MEDIUM: Oil on board In this striking view of Pont Mirabeau in Paris, the physical location plays second fiddle to the technical structure of the composition, with only a brief visual reference to Le Trocadero on the horizon. We have to remember that although we are now quite used to seeing pictorial arrangements like this in the 21st Century, when this oil on board was executed in 1913, his work was incredibly avant-garde, challenging much of the sentimental landscapes that were still being reproduced by the bulk of commercial Edwardian artists in Britain.

DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 27.56 x 18.90 inches (70.00 x 48.00 cms) SIGNATURE: Signed lower left MEDIUM: Crayon on paper Referenced in the archives of the Amis de Paul-César Helleu under the n° 4338. Authenticated by Mrs. Howard-Johnston in 1988. In this elegant drawing, Paul César Helleu has rapidly drawn this stylishly attired woman using his signature loose gestural draughtmanship. This looseness and ease of depiction suggests that the work was finished in situ, rather than through a series of studies, which is how Helleu preferred to work. Although this drawing was clearly composed rapidly, Helleu has taken careful care in depicting the sitter’s fashionable furbelowed dress and hat with jaunty feathers. Additionally, he has delicately rendered her up to date makeup and hairstyle by judicious application of colour. Paul César Helleu has created an exquisite drawing of a society lady; his trademark.
