Desvaileres. He first exhibited his original paintings, etchings and lithographs with the Societe des Independants, in Paris, and throughout France. Etienne Ret moved to the United States shortly before the outbreak of World War II and initially settled in San Antonio, Texas. He resided there during the 1940's and established his reputation as a leading artist. Etienne Ret was also a member of the San Antonio Art League and taught painting and printmaking techniques at the San Antonio Museum. Around 1950 Etienne Ret moved to Los Angeles where he continued to show his art in major national exhibitions. Etienne Ret's art centered primarily upon figure studies, particularly those of children and women. Today the paintings, lithographs and etchings of Etienne Ret are included in the permanent collections of the State Museum, France, the Encyclopedia Britannica Collection, London, the Witte memorial Museum, San Antonio, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Pasadena Art Institute, San Diego Fine Arts Society and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Original paintings are becoming more and more scarce. Don't miss your chance at an original!! Art collecting is quite simply our passion it truly consumes us. It used to be a hobby until we lost tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market. Upon regrouping we made a commitment to one another to never throw our money away again. The art market is simple and with a controlled system for investing, we have pursued our passion and made money. The principles are the same but the return is amazing. Over the next month we will be listing for your consideration some solid pieces based on the following criteria: The Artist is listed and by that I mean has had works made available for sale at established auction houses worldwide and can be found in the public fine art and design database. Auction records from the fine art and design database demonstrating significant spikes in value at smaller, regional auction houses. By buying before art works reach major auction houses you automatically reap the rewards of the majors adding commissions and final value fees to the realized price. (this can actually be as much as 40 to 50%) Once they get here its really to late to buy, but if you are fortunate enough to be in... enjoy the ride. All of this makes sense but why wouldn't you keep these pieces and "enjoy the ride" yourself ? The answer...Collect what you like. As an art collection grows it develops a life of its own. Certain pieces although good investments just don't fit our personal collection. Trading 40 - 50% costs at a brick and morter auction house for 9-13% using this venue makes both of us money, it allows us to feed off the system rather than feeding into the system.
