GEN PAUL oeuvre originale
Gen Paul’s talent as an artist gained recognition very early on. The renowned Paris art dealer Henri Bing devoted an exhibition to him in 1928 and in his introduction to the show compared him to contemporaries Rouault and Soutine. This was a very perspicacious decision indeed, for Gen Paul ranks today as one of the greatest French expressionist painters.
Expressionism was much more than a trend in art; it was a way of thinking, the mark of an age and the very embodiment of the early 20th century. It also challenged conventions and existing ways of seeing, and sought to roll back the frontiers of painting as a means of expression. Artists no longer looked to depict objects as they were but as they perceived them to be; painting became insightful and pictorial representation distorted. Wasn’t Soutine’s reputation founded on his pastry cook’s deliberately oversized left ear ? By the same token, in Gen Paul’s painting, the characters’ hands are out of proportion, giant-sized and elongated, which underlies their beauty.
Expressionism was also influenced by a bleak period in world history: the onset of the First World War, and war per se. And yet, this was seldom depicted in the work of expressionist painters, with the exception of Otto Dix. Gen Paul produced only a small number of prints of WWI soldiers, even though he had experienced the true horrors of warfare, during which, it should be pointed out, he lost his right leg.
The First World War, although seldom depicted by either Gen Paul or by expressionist painters in general, had a marked impact on his paintings and manner of painting. Gen Paul would most likely not have devoted himself completely to painting, had he not been wounded in the Great War, and his paintings would perhaps not have been so full of life had he not almost lost his own. He developed an expressionism of movement based on continuous research and pure emotion. Highly prolific and mastering the full range of pictorial techniques, he threw himself into painting with such abandon that it nearly killed him in 1930. Gen Paul took a great interest in current affairs and events, discussing all manner of topics in his famed “ Gen Paul Masses’ ”, including the latest gossip from the Butte Montmartre, politics, sport, art and literature. He knew and frequented all the great painters and writers of his time. This made a lasting impression on him as well as on his oeuvre, despite, paradoxically, preferring to work in isolation.
He was a free spirit who painted intuitively and who also used painting as a form of release. He developed his own gestural style, devised pictorial techniques and invented his own form of calligraphy. His pioneering painting recalls both Willem de Kooning, one of the leaders of the abstract expressionist movement, and action painting, in its spontaneity and philosophy of life.
Gen Paul has taken up his rightful place in the history of French expressionist painting, albeit almost reluctantly. He never tendered a philosophical stance on his painting, and never sought to be part of a movement; nor did he mix with other expressionist painters. He was, however, a man of his times who skilfully captured them, creating a new form of painting in the process, which in turn has taken up its rightful place in the history of art, alongside Soutine and Rouault, just as Henri Bing had anticipated back in 1928!
