About the Item
Signed lower right, 'André Prévot-Valéri' (French, 1890-1959) and painted circa 1920.
André Prévot-Valéri was the son of the landscape painter, August Prévot-Valéri (1857-1930), and grew up in the studio that they continued to share until 1930. While studying under his father, he also received lessons from Marcel Baschet, Henri Royer, and Louis-Marie Désiré-Lucas. André first exhibited at the Paris Salon at the age of twenty, enjoying immediate critical success. He continued to exhibit through 1914 and was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Édouard Lemaître Prize (1911), two honorable mentions (1912, 1914), in addition to a bronze medal and the Henri Zuber Prize (1913).
As a soldier on active duty in WW1, Prévot-Valéri contributed eye-witness drawings to the weekly publication, Les Annales Politiques et Litéraires. His 'La Patrouille dans la Nuit' (1915) was chosen for exhibition at the Exposition Organisée au Profit des Oeuvres de Guerre (1918) and selected wartime drawings by the artist are preserved at the British Museum in London and at the Archives du Calvados in Caen.
When the Paris Salon resumed in 1919, Prévot-Valéri returned to painting landscapes. The collector and critic Jeanne Magnin, who closely followed the careers of both Auguste and André Prévot-Valéri, described André's 'Le Hameau' as "A corner of nature well observed, tasted and felt, the sweetness of autumn in the village."
Prévot-Valéri was awarded the Henri Zuber Prize for a second time in 1920, the Prix de la Société des Paysagistes (1921) and a silver medal at the Paris Salon of 1923. In 1926. He was the subject of a one-man exhibition at the Galerie Poissonnière and, in 1928, was awarded the prestigious Rosa-Bonheur Prize. Father and son exhibited together for the final time at the Paris Salon of 1930. In 1936, André Prévot-Valéri moved from Paris to Normandy's Cotentin Peninsula, where he spent the last decades of his life painting pastoral scenes and seascapes.
We are pleased to offer this luminous Impressionist oil showing the Seine at the port of Rouen with a distant view of the towers of Rouen Cathedral.

- Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...Category
