About the Item
French Mid 20th Century oil on board Fauvist view of a Provençal village street, probably near Nice in the South of France by Hyppolite Roger. The painting has another equally lovely painting of boats to the reverse which is signed bottom left.
A wonderful, vibrant and colourful painting of the daily goings on in a Provençal village. Roger has used energetic colour and a great sense of perspective as the eye is taken along the street, up the steps and through the houses to the azur blue sky. Thickly applied paint and a host of colours give texture and great depth to this painting. A charming 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.
