About the Item

A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans then with Philippe Steinmetz. He was interested in philosophy and inspired by many art forms. He is remembered as the co-founder of the University Theatre in Nancy and as a teacher in the ''Faculté de Lettres''. He travelled widely whilst painting including Mexico and Switzerland where he also created frescoes, mosaics and stained glass. Known for his colour and his semi abstract forms.
