Hyppolite Roger
Le Faucheur, Bringing in the Harvest. French Fauvist Mid-Century Oil on Board.

1960s

About the Item

French Mid 20th Century oil on canvas board. Fauvist view of a young man, a faucheur, bringing in the harvest, probably painted near Nice in the South of France by Hyppolite Roger. The painting is signed bottom right by the artist. A wonderfully vibrant and colourful painting of workers in the field. Roger has used energetic colour especially in the contrast of the golden yellow of the fields with the azur blue sky. Thickly and quickly applied paint lends texture and depth to this painting as the eye is drawn from the main character in the foreground through to the other workers and towards the distant hills and blue sky of Provence . A charming and strong work of art. Fauvism was a style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion on the canvas. The Fauves painted directly from nature, as the Impressionists had before them, but Fauvist works were invested with a strong expressive reaction to the subjects portrayed. First formally exhibited in Paris in 1905, Fauvist paintings shocked visitors to the annual Salon d’Automne; one of these visitors was the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who, because of the violence of their works, dubbed the painters fauves (“wild beasts”). The leader of the group was Henri Matisse, who had arrived at the Fauve style after experimenting with the various Post-Impressionist approaches of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat. Matisse’s studies led him to reject traditional renderings of three-dimensional space and to seek instead a new picture space defined by movement of colour. He exhibited his famous Woman with the Hat at the 1905 exhibition. In this painting, brisk strokes of colour—blues, greens, and reds—form an energetic, expressive view of the woman. The crude paint application, which left areas of raw canvas exposed, was appalling to viewers at the time.
