Provenance: Henri M. Petiet (with his oval ink stamp verso, cf. Lugt 2021a)
Le Cafe du Commerce represents Laboureur’s early adaptation of the cubist idiom to his own purposes – thereby creating a modernist vision that was really all his own. The intersecting planes, the abstracted limbs and features, the triangular and circular shapes are so much intended to express volume, as in the cubism of Picasso and Braque, as to show the movement, activity, and aesthetic underpinnings of life as he saw it here, in a cafe in Nantes, at the place du Commerce. Le Cafe represents a kind of high moment for a certain decorative direction that cubism and modernism was to take. It set the standard for modernist art that did not adhere to the rigid formulations of analytic cubism but instead capitalized on its development for stylistic purposes. As Marcel LeComte noted when describing Le Cafe in a catalog of Laboureur prints: “Piece cubiste, capitale dans l’oevre de l’artiste.”

Jean-Emile Laboureur
Jean Émile Laboureur, born in Nantes on 16 August 1877 and died in Kerfalher in Morbihan on 16 June 1943, was a French painter, draughtsman, engraver, aquafortist, lithographer and illustrator. Author of numerous engravings with burin, in individual plates or for books, he illustrated nearly eighty books, often by contemporary authors such as André Maurois, Jean Giraudoux, Colette, André Gide, Paul-Jean Toulet, Maurice Maeterlinck or François Mauriac. A painter of genre paintings, landscapes, animated or not, still lifes, he also created some frescoes and sculptures. His works are kept in several national and provincial museums. He founded or chaired associations of independent artists.
