Mid 20th Century Color Field, Horses in a Landscape, Chevaux Dans la Camargue

About the Item

Mid 20th Century oil on card Colour Field view of horses in a landscape at Cacherle-St Marie de la Mer in the Camargue. The painting is signed Ch Bonnefoi and dated bottom right and is presented in a plain gilt wood frame. There is an annotation to the back board 'Cacharel-St Maries de la Mer.' A charming view of a group of white horses grazing in a landscape. The artist's rapid and strong impasto technique give an energy to the painting and an abstract feeling to the composition. They have used blocks of greens and ochres to give a 'colour field' aspect and the white horses with their sgraffito outlines pop out from the landscape. The technique and composition have the feel of Nicolas de Staël from earlier in the century. The painting is attributed to Christian Bonnefoi by the signature. It may be an early work by him before he found his more characteristic style and medium. Cacharel, St Marie de la Mer is in the Camargue in Southern France and is noted for its wild countryside and white horses.
