About the Item
Early 20th century art nouveau watercolour on paper of a classical female figure by French artist Paul Hogg. Signed and dated 1919 bottom right. Presented in fine custom frame with mount.
A fresh and light representation of a classical female figure dancing, possibly one of the Muses. With arms aloft, palms facing up, neck inclined and flowing robes there is great movement in this image. The figure is stepping from one foot to another clearly engaged in a traditional dance. The clever use of shadow behind brings the figure in white to the forefront, set against a beautiful sky blue and encircled in aubergine. The encircling of the figure is reminiscent of the decorative medallions found over doors and adorning walls during Roman times, however the style and period of this watercolour is Art Nouveau.
This is an early work by the artist and may be a design for a larger painting or project.
A thoroughly charming painting and one of three similar works by Paul Hogg available on 1stdibs which would make a lovely grouping.
Born in Herisau but originally from Fribourg, Paul Hogg grew up on the banks of the Sarine before enrolling at the Cantonal Technicum. He quickly felt cramped there and, in 1910, left for Paris in the company of the painter Anton Schmid. He studied first at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, then with Fernand Cormon at the École des Beaux-Arts, in the same class as the Russian Chaïm Soutine. Hogg was made a member of the Salon d'Automne in 1924; at the same time, he exhibited regularly at both the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Indépendants. He also made numerous stays in Tunis, as well as in Algeria and Libya. In 1926, he married Berthe Affagard, a dramatic artist whose stage name was Simone Fargette. In 1937, he received the rank of Knight of the Order of the Alaouite Ouissam, equivalent to the Legion of Honor, for his work in Morocco. At the dawn of the Second World War, he left Paris and moved to Provence, to Sanary-sur-Mer. There he rubbed shoulders with Eugène Baboulène, Yves Brayer, Léonard Foujita. He also frequented Ossip Zadkine. However, he regularly returned to exhibit in Fribourg, notably with the local section of the Society of Swiss Painters, Sculptors and Architects, at the Salon permanent du Capitole, as well as at the Museum of Art and History.
Even before he had known North Africa and the ochre of its dunes, Hogg was already giving his colours Mediterranean accents. A painter of the sun, he uses few cold colours and gives his canvases a velvety texture that seems to result from the vibrations of light. Despite his love for the landscapes of the South, he remained attached to the canton of Fribourg, where he returned every summer, and was particularly fond of Gruyère, whose green landscapes he tirelessly painted. If his works are so intimate, it is because he prefers easel painting to large studio formats. Outside the major pictorial movements, Paul Hogg briefly tried his hand at Cubism in the wake of André Lhote, but quickly gave it up to return to a more traditional painting. He was closer to the painters of Poetic Reality, Roland Oudot, Maurice Brianchon and Jules Cavaillès. In addition to the Mediterranean and Gruyère landscapes, which he is particularly fond of, Hogg also enjoys staging still lifes and the representation of figures, self-portraits, bathers and Berber women.
