Paul-Élie Gernez
Figures in the Forest - Post Impressionist Landscape Oil by Paul Gernez

1914

About the Item

Signed post impressionist landscape oil on board circa 1914 by French painter Paul Elie Gernez. The work depicts figures walking in the shade of trees in a forest. Painted in predominantly greens, blues and yellows, this early example of the painters work shows the influence of Divisionism. Signature: Signed lower left and inscribed verso Dimensions: Framed: 37"x33" Unframed: 26"x19" Provenance: This work has been certified by the painters daughter Therese Gernez Christie's - New York Paul-Élie Gernez was not unaffected by the explorations of the Cubists, but he took to heart Vauxcelles' words that Cubism leads to painting provided you leave it behind. Strengthened by salutary experimentation, he returned to nature. He was primarily a landscape and seascape artist, having spent almost the whole of his life in Honfleur, and he is sometimes reminiscent of Jongkind in his observation of light on the sea. Among his works are nudes and female figures, and more flowers than still-lifes. He illustrated François Mauriac's Génitrix and Charles Maurras' The Road to Paradise (Le Chemin de paradis). His varied works are characterised by great sensibility which does not exclude firm structuring. He held solo exhibitions in Paris in 1917, 1922 and 1924. A posthumous retrospective, curated by his friend Robert Rey, was held in 1969 and a further one took place in 1984.
