About the Item
'Les Alpilles Range in Provence', oil on panel, by Auguste Chabaud (1951). This artwork depicts the chain of the 'Little Alps', which is a small range of low mountains in Provence, France about 20 kilometres south of Avignon. Both Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Yves Brayer (1907-1990) also famously depicted Les Alpilles. The range is about 25 km long by about 8 to 10 km wide, running in an east–west direction between the Rhône and Durance rivers. The landscape of the Alpilles is one of arid limestone peaks separated by dry valleys, always under the glorious blue skies of Provence. The lower slopes are planted with olive and almond tress as well as Kermes oaks and pines. Much of the range is bare rock or stony ground covered with maquis, a scrubland plant community. This particular depiction is typical of the pathways and roads around the town of Eyegalieres. Chabaud's landscapes are often resolved into simple shapes created from a few suggestive elements in a reduced chromatic scheme, sometimes dominated by a gleaming Prussian blue. The beauty of this piece is found in its simplicity. Chabaud, the artist, was considered a bit of an outsider but now he retains a considerable stature in the art world. From a financial standpoint, several of his paintings have sold for greater than $100,000 USD at auction. This painting is in good overall condition and is newly framed with a French-style linen slip. It has recently been reconditioned and cleaned by an art restoration professional. Photos of the piece's reverse side's show an attached sheet, barely legible, except for its year of creation. The stamp of the authenticating authority (Atelier Chabaud), appears on that sheet dated 1951, just a few years before the artist's death. This authority certifies and often stamps unsigned works of the artist once they've catalogued the piece (although this artwork is signed in the lower right hand). Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request, a video can be provided.
About the Artist: Auguste Chabaud (1882-1955) studied at the Lycée and then at the École des Beaux-Arts in Avignon, where his family had settled in 1890. In 1899, Chabaud went to Paris where he attended the Académie Julian. As his parents could no longer support him, he enlisted in the merchant navy and travelled to the West coast of Africa. In 1902, he was in the military in Tunisia and he brought back many sketches of the inhabitants from his stint there, as well as bordello interiors and bars crowded with military men, sailors and women. Upon his return to France, he moved again to Paris' Montmartre and Montparnasse neighbourhoods.
While in Paris, Chabaud painted typical scenes of the neighbourhoods and boulevards, café-concerts, parties and of the circus and cabaret world. He used vibrant, contrasting colours, which brought him closer to Expressionism. From 1906, Chabaud exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, and regularly showed at the Salon d'Automne, of which he was a member, and the Salon des Tuileries. Upon his return to Provence around 1914, he painted landscapes of the hillsides as well as the people in the countryside in a softened chromatic range with nuanced blacks, tinted whites, and deep blues. After the war, he settled permanently in his hometown, Graveson, marrying the daughter of a neighbouring farmer in 1921 with whom he had seven children.
Important retrospectives of his work include: 1952 Paris; 1956 Marseille Musée Cantini; 1986 Orléans, Musée des Beaux-Arts; 1999 Troyes, Musée des Beaux-Arts; and 2003, Paris. (Source: Benezit)

Auguste Chabaud
Auguste Chabaud was a French painter and sculptor. At the age of 14, Chabaud joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Avignon. In 1899, he went to Paris to continue his artistic training at the Académie Julian and the Écoledes Beaux-Arts. There he met Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1900, he returned to his parents' vineyard in southern France, because the business was affected by a crisis there. In 1901, he was forced to leave Paris in order to secure his livelihood. He worked on a ship and got to know the West African coast. In the following years, he became acquainted with the Parisian nightlife and art collectors interested in growing for him. In the Paris neighborhood Montmartre, where he had his studio, he painted various scenes of Parisian life. Chabaud’s Cubist phase began in 1911, where he also began sculpting. In the following years, he had many exhibitions, including 1913 in New York, where his works were exhibited alongside those of artists such as Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Picasso. After his return from the First World War, Chabaud settled down in Graveson. From 1920, he had his blue period. He used the Prussian Blue as the only color in his works. From then, he focused exclusively on the south of France. He painted scenes of rural life, the farmers and the hills and trails of the Alpilles. In 1992, the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur opened the Musée Auguste Chabaud in his honor.

French Expressionist Landscape, The Abri at L'Olivette, Cap d'Antibes
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French Expressionist oil on canvas landscape of countryside at L'Olivette, Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera, by Germain Bonel. The painting is signed bottom right and signed, dated and titled to the back of the canvas.
A strong and impactful composition of the trees and forest leading down to the sea wall and then the Mediterranean beyond at the Port (or 'Abri' as it is also known) of l'Olivette on the west coast of Cap d'Antibes, the iconic location in the South of France. This former small traditional fishing port from the beginning of the twentieth century is now converted into a picturesque little marina on Cap d'Antibes, with its rocky cove, its beach, its pine forest, its umbrella pines, olive trees, fig trees, and agaves and its famous 'Villa Aujourd'hui' a modernist residence built by American architect Barry Dierks (1899-1960) in 1938 for socialite Mrs. Audrey Chadwick. L'Olivette has a privileged panoramic view of the Gulf of Juan, and the coastal shores of Cap d'Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Golfe-Juan, and the Pointe Croisette of Cannes.
Germain Bonel (5 August 1913 – 2002) was a French painter of Catalan origin. From 1967 to 1983, he was a professor of drawing and painting at the Perpignan School of Fine Arts. From 1969 to 1978, he also taught art in the schools of Saint-Cyprien-village and Saint-Cyprien-Plage.
Germain Bonel's painting is both expressionist and decorative. Georges-Henry Gourrier said of him: "Germain Bonel's painting expresses [quite naturally] the singular beauty of forms, the radiant force of colour, the deepening of matter and the tenderness of the things of life. His work appears to be a painting of plenitude."
From 1941 to 1945, Germain Bonel studied drawing at the Municipal School of Fine Arts in Perpignan. He won first prize in 1945. Out of competition, he continued his studies at the same school from 1945 to 1948 and he regularly exhibited his works at the annual exhibition held at the Salle Arago in Perpignan.
Germain Bonel met François Desnoyer in 1950 and introduced him to the Catalan artistic milieu.
He was admitted to the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1951 and exhibited until 1961, when he became a member of the salon. As early as 1951 a commentary said, "with the canvas hanging...
