(Notre Dame de Bondeville 1882 – Paris 1953)
View of the rooftops of Paris
Oil on canvas
H. 65 cm; L. 92 cm

Exhibition: 60th exhibition of the Salon des Indépendants from April 22 to May 15, 1949 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris under number 893
Henri Dupont was born in Normandy near Rouen, and to stand out from his very, even too classic, name, he adopted that of his mother as a complement, which would become his unique artist name.
He was a drawing teacher at the Épinal high school and also worked at the town museum, lending his eye to the identification of several old paintings. From 1928 and until the day before his death, Dupont-Crespin exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. The vast majority of his works are landscapes, but there are also portraits of his colleagues, friends and relatives. In 1940 he published a collection of engravings representing views of the city of Epinal, destroyed by bombing. These urban landscapes, unfortunately dislocated by their subject, are marvelous compositions which allow us to follow Ariadne's thread in the direction of our formidable composition.
Almost panoramic, our canvas represents the roofs of Paris, on a cool foggy morning in March 1948. The pinkish or even orange light of the tiled roofs in the foreground is interspersed between the purple shadows, pushed by the sun. Most certainly created in the 2nd arrondissement, this urban view is perfectly situable thanks to the position of the Pantheon and Notre-Dame, whose silhouettes stand out from the skyline.
Canvases presenting the roofs of Paris are rare, even more so with poetic atmospheres where any lover of the city will be able to find a memory.

- Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snackBy Maurice LobreLocated in BELEYMAS, FRMaurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...Category
