About the Item

One of several paintings that we are offering by Henri-André Martin's. A wonderfully evocative image of an expansive beach with figures relaxing on the beach, painted with great panache by this Impressionist master. On a large scale, this will make a great feature in a sitting room or dining room. Henri Andre Martin (1918-2004) Figures on the beach, South of France Signed Oil on canvas 23½ x 36 inches excluding frame 28 x 41 inches including frame Provenance: The artist's studio sale Born in Lyon in 1918, Henri-André Martin spent his youth in Saint-Étienne. His beach paintings in particular have been compared to those of Eugène Boudin, developing the former master’s snapshots of figures at the seaside with a more emboldened palette and even freer form, corresponding with the harsher light of Southern France. Initially an advocate of plein air painting, his style developed into a more abstracted perception of the human form and its relationship to landscape. He produced several series focusing on the flora and fauna of the South of France, including studies of butterflies, and the ubiquitous olive and almond trees of Provence. He was awarded the Maurice Utrillo Prize in 1964, the Medal of Honor from the Société Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts and was both a Member of the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts and Salon d'Automne, Paris.
