About the Item

French Postimpressionist School "Figures on the River," oil painting on canvas, first half of the 20th century. The painting follows the post-impressionist trend and depicts a summer day on a river, with children playing and mothers watching them. The barely outlined figures give an idea of the movement the painter could observe in the scene, just as the use of bright colors reminds us of the light of a warm summer afternoon. A bright and highly decorative painting, it captivates with its skillful use of colors. These scenes of everyday life in pre-World War I Paris were popular with both painters and their clients; in his later period Renoir began to make use of a lively palette, imitated in this by many later painters, French as well as European and American. Excellent state of conservation. Measurements Canvas 55 x 45 cm Frame 75 x 65 cm

Attended: San Francisco Art Association School of Design, Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Académie Julian de Paris, New York School of Art "In the past I worked on light and shadow effects. Now I paint exclusively for unusual effects and color harmonies." It is with these words that Martin Borgord, a Norwegian-born but naturalized American painter, interviewed by a journalist from the Hartford Courant, explains our painting.Straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, the elegant lady loses the sharpness of detail, blending with light and color in quick, dense brushstrokes.
