Italo Giordani
Light on the water large colorful Impressionist landscape with Monet-like irises

ca 1920

About the Item

It is probably those irises in the foreground that always make me think of Monet's garden when I look at this landscape! Just like he Master's late work, it is so impressionist that from close-up, it almost appears abstract. The light on the water draws the viewer into the painting and is almost hypnotic. It is a work by Sicilian-born Italo Giordani (1882-1956). He studied at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, then moved to Marseilles and eventually settled in Paris. In the French capital, Giordani was represented by the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune from 1917. Bernheim-Jeune were art dealers who had been presenting works by Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Paul Cézanne, Henri-Edmond Cross, Kees van Dongen, Henri Matisse, Le Douanier Rousseau, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Amedeo Modigliani and Maurice Utrillo. From 1906 to 1925, art critic Félix Fénéon was the director of the gallery and was instrumental in bringing in the art of Georges Seurat. The gallery became one of the centres of the artistic avant-garde.
