About the Item

French mid 20th Century watercolour landscape on paper by Roger Tolmer. Signed bottom right. Presented under glass in fine custom giltwood frame with a hand count mount and passe-partout. Tolmer has used a russet red to highlight details and forms in the painting which gives it a wonderful sense of vivacity and movement. It is reminiscent of the correction colour applied to Sumi by the great Japanese masters. Born in Sotteville-les-Rouen Rouen in 1908 he studied at the École Des Beaux Arts in Rouen having found a love for art from a friend of his parents who was a former student of Pierre Bonnard. From 1932 he started to exhibit his works, countryside views and scenes from Rouen. He was well received both in France and internationally and went on to exhibit throughout Europe as well as the USA, Iran and Japan. In the 1950's he became close friends with Georges Braque and they each delighted in visiting each others studios. Tolmer adored having the music of Beethoven, Schubert and Monteverdi playing whilst he was painting at his easel.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
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...
