Henri Reboa
Still Life of Roses in a Vase, Mid-Century French Oil on Canvas.

Circa 1950's

About the Item

Mid-Century French still life of roses in a vase, oil on canvas by Marseille artist Henri Reboa. The work is signed bottom right and is presented in a gilt frame. This painting of roses in a vase against a background of mauve tulips is painted swiftly and with confidence. The colour palette is very well chosen, warm yet vibrant as the touches of sharper green leaf offset the mauve backdrop of tulips and the baby pink petals. The backdrop is reminiscent of the interior paintings of Matisse who often painted his subject against a colourful and lively wallpaper or carpet. This device brings further interest to the painting sometimes offering clashing colours which keeps the eye excited and engaged. In this case, quite cleverly, we have a painting of flowers within a painting of flowers therefore adding to the overall richness of the piece. The quick dabs of the brush can easily be seen which give texture and an energy to the painting, further enhanced by the half shadow over the subject. The clever use of light and shade gives a robustness and liveliness to the roses. A strong painting which can either work in a tone on tone environment due to its restrained colour palette or stand alone due to its energy of brushstroke and presence.

  • "Fruit" Georgina Klitgaard, Apples and Pears Still Life, Woodstock Female Artist
    By Georgina Klitgaard
    Located in New York, NY
    Georgina Klitgaard Apples and Pears Still Life Signed lower right Oil on canvas 8 x 10 inches Georgina Klitgaard’s art has sometimes gotten lost in the critical propensity to assign artists to membership in one school or another. Unfortunately for her posthumous reputation, Klitgaard defied easy characterization. She was a U.S. modernist, working in both oil and watercolors, but never abandoned figurative painting. She made her reputation in landscape but also excelled in portraits, flower studies, and even cityscapes. Yet despite Klitgaard’s ambiguous status in art history, her paintings continue to fascinate viewers attracted to the unsteady ground between twentieth-century realism and expressionism. Georgina Klitgaard (née Berrian) was born in Spuyten Duyvil, New York (now part of the Bronx); the Berrians had lived in the area since at least the U.S. Revolution. After graduating from Barnard College, she studied art at the National Academy of Design. In 1919 she married Kay Klitgaard, a Danish artist and writer. The next year, her life took a decisive turn when the couple visited friends in Woodstock, NY—about 120 miles north of New York City--and fell in love with the area. In 1906, L. Birge Harrison helped found the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock and the area became a magnet for landscape painters. The Klitgaards bought a house in 1922 on a steep ledge at the end of Cricket Ridge, high above Bearsville, which provided panoramic vistas overlooking the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley. Klitgaard joined the artists’ colony in the area, which at the time included artists Ernest Fiene and Katherine Schmidt. Klitgaard exhibited widely and her career slowly developed momentum. She was a regular contributor at Whitney Museum shows from 1927 to 1944. In 1929, she exhibited a painting entitled “Carousel” in the Whitney Studio Club’s famous exhibition “Circus in Paint.” Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney acquired five paintings by Klitgaard in the early 1930s and served as a significant patron for the artist. Klitgaard s New York dealer, Frank Rehn...
