Paul-Élie Gernez
Vase de Fleurs - Post Impressionist Oil, Still Life Flowers by Paul Gernez

1929

About the Item

Signed and dated post impressionist still life oil on canvas by French painter Paul Elie Gernez. The piece depicts a brown ceramic vase filled with several varieties of flowers in pinks, reds, purples, yellows and whites. A wonderful work by this well collected artist. Signature: Signed lower left and dated 1929 Dimensions: Framed: 35"x30" Unframed: 29"x24" Provenance: Private French collection 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.

In 1903, d'Espagne was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934.
