AMERICAN PERIOD
OF
HIS WORK





During the period of his exclusive rights' contracts, from 1956 onwards, with Samuel E. JOHNSON, biggest art dealer of his generation, the entire output of YATRIDES ' oil paintings, more than 400, took pride of place among the most significant of the Private Collections, notably in North and South America, who lent his work to Artistic Events organized by the pre-eminent Schools of Painting. It must be stressed that these collections do not relinquish their artistic patrimony unless under conditions that enhance their prestige.

Furthermore, he produced nigh on 160 Studies in watercolour, monochrome or polychrome in tempera, on canvas sized for these techniques : these works were carried out between 1957 and 1963. Certain other watercolours date from outside this period, more precisely from 1954 to 1966.

Be it a question of Studies in watercolour, or oil paintings, his work is technically recognizable even after reproduction, by notably, the line carved into the paste. This line is not a final facile mark on the surface: at least 2 millimetres deep, it is the drawing itself, etched into the very weave of the canvas.

ARTISTIC EVENTS

Together with his monographic exhibitions in the United States and Europe with monographic catalogues, one must take account of the Schools of painting's exhibitions; important artistic events organized in the United States thanks to works lent by influential Private Collections, such as:

  • Drawing and Watercolors of the French School 1900-1959
  • Contempory French Masters 1958
  • Masters of Modern Art 1910-1960 -Special Mention in
    Cubist, Post-Impressionist, Expressionist and Surrealist Schools
  • Specialist in XXth Century Masters -Special Mention in
    Collector's choice 1965

Artistic events following the one organized by the United States Embassy in Paris "From Clouet to Matisse - American Collections" (Winter 1958-1959 Musée de l'Orangerie).
