Woman and the tub. By Gustave Poetzsch (1870-1950)

Painter born in Neuchâtel in 1870 and died in Paris in 1950. He studied at the Académie Julian and the School of Fine Arts in Paris in 1892. He spent five years in the studio of Merson then Moreau, a workshop frequented by Matisse and Camoin.
He embodies “the Belle Epoque” by painting the Parisian beauties with hats, the walks in Bagatelle, the summer afternoons on the beach of Deauville, the walks on the quays of Paris and Brittany.
His wife is a fashion designer and Poetzsch takes many portraits of his Parisian clientele in the entertainment world.
