Gustave Lino Orientalist Beach Scene, Chenoua Plage, Algerie, Oil On Canvas.1945
1945
About the Item
An Orientalist beach scene of the coast of Algeria at Chenoua by French painter Gustave Lino. The painting is signed, located and dated bottom left. Presented in a plain gilt frame.
A charming and atmospheric view of a day at the beach. The revellers are enjoying bathing in the Mediterranean, resting under their colourful parasols against the sun and exploring the far off rocks of the cove. The sea gently lapping against the rocks at the shore. A small row boat ready for an excursion. Lino has beautifully captured the feeling of joy and fun that a day at the beach brings.
Gustave Lino was born in 1893 in Mulhouse, France. At the age of twenty, he went to Marseille, discovered Provence and the Mediterranean. He was already interested in painting and art from numerous visits to the museum of his hometown, but he had not yet followed any training in this field.
In Marseille, far from home and idle, he decides, almost on a whim, to travel to Algiers, without really knowing what he will discover there. He embarked for Algiers at the age of 19 in 1912. He exhibited with his friends Romeo Charles Aglietti in 1914 at 'Herero' in Algiers.
Unfortunately in 1914 in Corsica in Ajaccio, being of German nationality and Mulhouse being part of the German Empire since 1871, he was interned as a 'civilian'. He spent the First World War in the Isle of Beauty but spent his time wisely developing his artistic skills. He realised many paintings as well as the historical decorations of the Solferino Hotel in Ajaccio and the religious decorations of the castle of Malaspena-Massa in Belgodère.
In December 1918, he returned to Algiers where he was a pupil of Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1926 and at the Danton gallery, rue La Boétie in 1927. He settled permanently in Algiers and then in Bou-Saada.
Back in Algeria, he took a close interest in the painting of Albert Marquet, which particularly seduced him and with whom he became a close friend. The transparent sharpness, this harmony of lines and tones becomes his ideal of perfection. He specialised in Algerian seascapes and landscapes, a colourist above all.
Becoming an adopted member of the group called "Painters of Poetic Reality" (with Jean Cavaillès, Legueult, Planson, Maurice Brianchon), close friend of Albert Marquet (Marcelle Marquet said of him that "he succeeded in doing Marquet better than Marquet himself"). Also laudatory, Albert Camus said of Gustave Lino (during the Salon of Algerian Artists of 1934): "His marines, if we feel the influence of Marquet, are nevertheless real successes, sensitive, fresh and of a single coming". All this in the respect of this artistic movement which, as E. Cazenave writes: "to a dreamed orientalism the Artists of Algeria oppose a lived orientalism". His palette is particularly colourful, often linear, with a predilection for blues, taking as a motif all the beaches, cities and villages visited.
But his creativity was not limited to landscapes, he was also an accomplished portraitist and his talent gradually made him evolve from expressionism to an increasingly contemporary painting whose modernism was revealed at the end of his life through his "Compositions". He then became part of contemporary post-war Algerian painting movement with: Sauveur Galliero, Jean Simian, René-Jean Clot, Pierre Pruvost, Jack Chambrin, Jean-Pierre Blanche, Pierre Clément, etc.
Having become a prominent member of the Algiers school, he exhibited at the Galerie de l'Institut - rue de Seine in Paris in 1957, following which the City of Paris bought from him a painting, 'Interior', which was exhibited at the Palais du Luxembourg. He was posthumously awarded the last Grand Prix Artistique de l'Algérie in 1962.
His paintings are included in important private and national collections worldwide.
