Hyppolite RogerFrench Mid-Century Oil on Canvas, Birds in Flight
About the Item
French Mid 20th Century oil on canvas Fauvist painting of birds in flight by Hyppolite Roger. The painting is signed bottom left and also to the back of the canvas. There is also a retailer stamp on the stretcher for Papeterie Rontani a notable artists' supply shop in Nice, South of France.
A wonderful, vibrant and colourful painting of birds in flight. Roger has used a coarse canvas which with the use of vibrant colour gives a pleasing texture to the painting. A great composition and painted with such energy. The very quick brushstrokes and myriad of colours filling the canvas create a swirl of activity as the birds whirl in flight.
Fauvism was a style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion on the canvas.
The Fauves painted directly from nature, as the Impressionists had before them, but Fauvist works were invested with a strong expressive reaction to the subjects portrayed. First formally exhibited in Paris in 1905, Fauvist paintings shocked visitors to the annual Salon d’Automne; one of these visitors was the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who, because of the violence of their works, dubbed the painters fauves (“wild beasts”).
The leader of the group was Henri Matisse, who had arrived at the Fauve style after experimenting with the various Post-Impressionist approaches of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat. Matisse’s studies led him to reject traditional renderings of three-dimensional space and to seek instead a new picture space defined by movement of colour. He exhibited his famous Woman with the Hat at the 1905 exhibition. In this painting, brisk strokes of colour—blues, greens, and reds—form an energetic, expressive view of the woman. The crude paint application, which left areas of raw canvas exposed, was appalling to viewers at the time.
