Pierre Duteurtre
The Charentonne River in Bernay

1934

About the Item

'The Charentonne River in Bernay', oil on canvas, by Pierre Duteurtre (1934). The Charentonne River is a 63 kilometre (40 miles) long river in the Normandy region of Northern France. It runs through the town of Bernay in the heart of Normandy. The scene so exquisitely captured by the artist is the northern arm of the Boulevard Dubus as it runs along the river. Bernay is a charming town whose origins date back to a Roman settlement in the 5th Century. The artist's treatment of light on the river is superb as is his use of vibrant colour in the trees, foliage and buildings alongside. The painting is in overall good condition having recently undergone a cleaning by an art restoration professional. It is newly framed in a tray and signed, dated and located by the artist in the lower right hand. This may very well be his finest work of art. Upon request a video may be provided. About the Artist: Pierre Eugène Duteurtre (1911-1989), best known under the pseudonym 'DUT', was most famously known as a French cartoonist and later as a successful painter of splendid artworks. From 1934 to 1939, he worked for the Parisian Publishing Company (SPE). Beginning in 1947, he worked for Marijac publications, where he illustrated texts by Marijac for his best-known comic series “Sitting Bull”. This series was published from 1948 to 1953 in the magazine “Coq Hardi”. In 1968 he dedicated himself full time to serious painting after having retired from his successful career as an illustrator and cartoonist.

  • Divide
    By Doug Freed
    Located in Tulsa, OK
    Divide by artist Doug Freed is a deep blue contemporary abstract landscape oil on canvas painting that measures 72 x 96 and is priced at $18,000. Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the gray area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Artist Statement For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes. I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger. I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space. My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity. My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
