"Le Marché à Martigues" Colorful Impressionist view of Market Scene Oil Painting

Mid-20th Century

About the Item

A strong Post-Impressionist oil on canvas painting by André Roubaud depicting the Market in Martigues in France, executed in wonderful colors and gestural brush strokes. With magnificent details, this painting is a wonderful example of Roubaud’s work, showing vigor, enthusiasm, and a personality all of its own, achieving this look through the use of vivid colors and thick texture. Roubaud is quick to capture his excitement onto the canvas with the use of vibrant colors like bright yellow, green, red and blue. Drawing the viewer’s eyes into the hues on this piece which exudes an expressive use of shape and form of an everyday market scene depicting the fruits and vegetables, flowers, the catch of the day, and the fresh produce filled with delighted visitors going about their morning. Also with the use of a palette knife, Roubaud is able to move the thick paint around his canvas, therefore creating a strong texture, giving the painting such a depth, that as a viewer, it would feel as if you can almost walk into the scene portrayed. The piece is signed by the artist lower right and titled on verso, it comes housed in a decorated giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 24 x 20 inches Frame measures 31 x 27 inches André Roubaud was born in France in 1929 and he began his artistic career as a painter from a very early age well before he attended art school, as he enjoyed painting the subjects that surrounded him like landscapes, flowers and people. After receiving his art education in Paris at "Art Libre", his work soon began to become recognized and also won prizes from his hometown region in France, and later in 1957, André began exhibiting in Paris and Marseille, then achieving international recognition having exhibited in New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, San Francisco and Montreal, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, and Canada while winning numerous honors during his career. André Roubaud’s paintbrush is a reflection of his soul, as in each painting he pictorially describes the Provence he grew up in with the grace of its natural beauty, almost as he would like for the viewer to see into his soul when appreciating his work. As Jean-Claude Gaudin, Senator of the Bouches-du-Rhône expressed about André’s works “Reality and dreams, realism and poetry, combine in his eyes and by his hand to move us”. PROVENANCE: Private Collection Carmel, California; Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

    By Emilio Grau Sala
    Located in Madrid, ES
    EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 PLAGE DE TROUVILLE signed Grau Sala (lower left) signed again, located & dated "Grau Sala, Trouville, 1953" on the reverse oil on canvas 15 X 24 inches (38 X 61 cm.) framed: 24-1/2 X 33-3/4 inches (62.5 X 85.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private French Collection Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in the Parés Hall. His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents, in the years 1930-33. Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years. Grau Sala lived and absorbed all the avant-garde movements that broke through in Paris, but never adhered to any. Creating your personal style. His pictorial lyricism and naturalism superimposed the evotative and sensitive quality of the image to any other concern. In 1953 Grau Sala spends his first summer in Honfleur becoming one of the most active Honflerian painters. Honfleur forms a coast triangle next to Deauville and Trouville, and in that August of 53, Grau Sala pinto is an elegant beach, which at that time met French and European high society. His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum, Tossa de Mar...

This work executed based on brushstrokes of long and safe strokes that make the forms vibrate with vivid color. Parisian nightlife is trapped in this corner of Paris. The monumental sculpture that symbolizes freedom and that presides over the square serves as a reference behind the tram between a light chiaroscuro. Meanwhile, the effervecent and lively life of the cafes that surround it vibrate strongly with its bright lights. Èdouard León Cortés (1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry.
