About the Item

Yves Calméjane's "Wheat Under the Storm", an oil on canvas measuring approximately 44.9 inches by 57.5 inches, is a stirring depiction of the dynamic French Dordogne landscape under the imminent threat of a storm. This scene captures the golden expanse of wheat fields moments before the storm’s full break, embodying the tension between tranquility and turbulence. The painting stands as a testament to Calméjane's deep connection with the French countryside, rendered in a style that marries the rawness of Expressionism with the sensitivity of Impressionism. The wheat fields, painted with robust strokes of ochre and gold, ripple with the unseen force of the gathering wind, while pops of red flowers add vibrancy and depth to the foreground, suggesting the resilient splendor of nature even in the face of impending change. Above, the brooding sky, painted in moody blues and grays, looms over the scene, its heavy presence both ominous and majestic. Calméjane's ability to capture the lighting and atmosphere heralding a storm demonstrates his skillful use of color and light, qualities that may remind one of the works of the great Impressionists who excelled at capturing the fleeting moments of natural light and atmosphere. The dimensions of the canvas allow the viewer to be enveloped within the scene, promoting a sense of immersion in this quiet corner of Dordogne just as the storm approaches. It is a poignant reminder of the ever-present dance between the earth and the elements, a theme that has inspired artists for centuries and continues to resonate in the works of contemporary painters like Calméjane. Yves Calméjane is a French impressionist artist, mostly influenced by Auguste Chabaud and Jean Arène.
