André Bourrie
Winter Solstice: pointillist impressionist Winterscape snow landscape painting

ca 1970

About the Item

Like every true master painter, André Bourrie had a unique, distinctive style - an inimitable blend of neo-impressionism and pointillism which, while drawing on traditions, is radically new. His work radiates light. Bourrié, the distinguished maritime and landscape artist, is one of France’s foremost contemporary masters. Bearing the distinction of official Painter for the French Navy, he has received innumerable awards, such as the Gold Medal of the prestigious “Salon de la Marine” and the Gold Medal of the “Salon des Artistes Français”. Born in Montpellier, France in 1936, André Bourrié lost his parents at an early age. He came to live with an uncle who, finding the child “sullen and unsociable”, placed him in an orphanage. The harshness of his youth was probably critical in Bourrié’s coming of age and possibly the most important influence in his becoming an artist. As a young boy without parental security and guidance, he found solace and joy in colors, light, textures, and forms. It is not a coincidence that he became a self-taught artist with such a melancholic start in life. In 1978 obtained an exclusive contract with the Wally Findlay gallery in New York, which allowed him to hold numerous exhibitions in France and the United States and thus share his personal and refined vision of the world. Today, André Bourrié is renowned for his magnificent paintings of the French countryside. His works are acclaimed for their brilliant use of white light and a rich, iridescent palette. His paintings are in private and institutional collections through out the world, including France, Japan, The United States and beyond. Measuring 46 x 55 cm for the canvas alone, oil oil on canvas is presented in a frame by Paris master framers Delf.

American Impressionist: Springtime, a sunny path in France 19thC oil painting
By William Baptiste Baird
Located in Norwich, GB
This beautiful and light filled painting testifies of a new dawn: in the 1880s the landscape and animalier artist William Baird turns to Impressionism. Our Sunny Path, with looser brushwork and lighter colours, convey the fleeting nature of the present. Our lovely oil on canvas may well be homage to Claude Monet - according to Baird's inscription on the stretcher, it was painted in Mantes, which is only about 6 miles from Vétheuil, where Monet was living and working in the 1880s! William Baptiste Baird was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1847, but as an adult moved to Paris to perfect his painting technique. In Paris, Baird studied under Adolphe Yvon...
