Fauvist Pastel on Paper, "Lunch in Provence", After Henri Matisse

About the Item

French Impressionist pastel on paper of a Provençal lunch. Signed bottom right but as yet not deciphered. Presented in a white frame under perspex. A charming, highly colourful and vivid pastel of a couple having lunch on the terrace outside their home. The intensity of the Provençal summer light is apparent. The cypresses majestically tower in the background. The couple are fully engaged in chatting over lunch under the vine covered trellis. The cat lays out in the warmth of the sun. Planted terracotta pots are dotted around the house and garden and the house glows in the summer sun. A softness is added to the composition through the medium of pastel used by the artist. The composition is reminiscent of the garden scenes of Henri Matisse who was inspired at the start of the 20th century by the light of the South of France and led to the short lived but influential Fauvist artistic movement. Matisse said: “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity…something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” Very much the inspiration for this painting. Henri Matisse

Rue St Rustique, Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur Basilica, Paris. Watercolor and Ink.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 20th Century drawing and watercolour of Rue St Rustique in Paris. The drawing is titled and signed bottom left but the signature is as yet undeciphered. Unframed but with a cut card mount. A charming view of one of the oldest streets in Montmartre and Paris leading up to the iconic Sacré-Coeur Basilica. The artist has captured all the charm of this treasured view. They have shown a mastery of their art and wonderful handling of the drawing and watercolour. A lovely evocative painting that would grace any collection or interior. This street in the old village of Montmartre, which existed before the eleventh century as a path, later became an alley that served as a boundary between the seigneuries of Saint-Denis and Montmartre. Called "rue Notre-Dame" around 1516, it is indicated on the map of Jouvin de Rochefort of 1672 as a road. It was classified as part of the Parisian road network by a decree of 23 May...
