About the Item
'The Old Port Marseille', oil on canvas, by Françoise Pirró (circa 1970s-80s). The way the artist employs her thick brush strokes and palette knife with vibrant colours creates an image that embodies elements of abstraction and cubism. Her contemporary work is completely abstract. Here, the Old Port (Vieux Port) of Marseille surrounds a lively yacht marina and is known for its stylish hotels, waterfront cafes, and seafood restaurants serving bouillabaisse with ingredients fresh from the quayside fish market. Guarding the port is the centuries-old Fort Saint-Jean, which stands near the Romanesque-style Saint-Laurent Church. Late-night bars and clubs fill pedestrianised streets close to the art deco Opéra de Marseille. Fishermen and other mariners maintain and clean their small boats which may be hoisted quayside as in this depiction. The piece is in good vintage condition and has been newly framed. It is signed in the lower centre of the painting: 'Françoise Pirró'. Please view the accompanying photos carefully to best appreciate the painting's condition and unquestionable style. Upon request a short video clip of the artwork may be provided.

- Characters in a Surrealist LandscapeBy Lucien CoutaudLocated in London, GB'Characters in a Surrealist Landscape', oil on canvas, by Lucien Coutaud (1931). A couple entwine with the male character seemingly in grief, the female not returning with a comforting embrace. In the distant landscape a sole character meanders. This painting seems to be a creation of the artist's dreams, perhaps reflecting events in his personal life. It seems there is a relationship problem. In the world of Surrealists, there is a focus on the unconscious mind through Freudian methods of free association, trance-like states or dreams. Some Surrealists practiced psychic 'automatism' which was automatic writing or drawing, turning off the conscious mind and producing streams of words or images directly from the unconscious. In unlocking the unconscious in this way, Surrealism was individually expressed (Ref. 'The Short Story of Art...Category

Although the artist dated this painting '84, it depicts a nostalgic view of the port of Saint-Malo in Western France's, Brittany in 1884 judging by the clothing worn by the characters depicted. The crowd on the shoreline is watching a sailboat regatta starting just inside the port's breakwater. A rather rare sunny day in Brittany brought out the parasols of the sitting ladies on the edge of the old ramparts. The walled city...Category
