About the Item
This circa 1930 original gouache painting by Grinsson, titled "Balade sur la Côte d’Azur", perfectly captures the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and early 1930s, an era defined by elegance, speed, and adventure. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the French Riviera, this dynamic composition showcases the exhilarating contrast between modern luxury and raw motion.
At the heart of the scene is a sleek, red convertible, its polished body reflecting the Mediterranean sun. The driver and passengers, dressed in chic period attire, exude sophistication as they cruise along the winding coastal road. Beside them, a motorcyclist on a yellow bike, clad in black, speeds past, leaving a dramatic swirl of dust and motion in his wake. This interaction between car and motorcycle symbolizes the thrill of the open road, the freedom of travel, and the excitement of the modern machine age.
The painting’s loose, expressive brushstrokes and vivid color palette lend it an air of spontaneity, perfectly suited to the subject matter. The soft blues and greens of the landscape contrast beautifully with the bold red of the car, drawing the viewer’s eye to the central figures. In the background, a stone tower perched on a rocky cliff adds a touch of timelessness, reminding us of the historical charm that coexists with modern progress.
"Balade sur la Côte d’Azur" is a celebration of movement, luxury, and the romance of early automobile culture. Whether seen as a nostalgic tribute to the golden age of travel or as an energetic snapshot of life on the Riviera, Grinsson’s masterful use of gouache brings this vibrant scene to life.
