Bernadette van Baarsen
Sunset Over Provence. Large Contemporary Expressionist Oil on Canvas.

2022

About the Item

Large contemporary expressionist oil on cotton canvas of a sunset over a Provençal landscape by Dutch artist Bernadette Van Baarsen. Signed and dated to the bottom right and to the reverse and presented in a silver and black custom-made tray frame. One of a new series of exciting, colourful, innovative and expressive works offering views of the landscape of Provence. Bernadette has taken and amplified the beautiful light in this wonderful part of the world breaking it down into its myriad components resulting in a daring explosion of colour on the canvas. The sun sets slowly over the olives and cypresses and imbues them with its warmth. Strong yet simple abstracted shapes allow the colour to reign. Bernadette (‘Berna’, as she autographs her works) VAN BAARSEN was born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After finishing her high-school she followed trainings to be a nurse and architect, whilst at the same time being a lead singer in two Dutch punk bands and making sculptures in plexiglass. Later in life she decided to pursue an academic career and obtained a PhD in psychology and medical ethics. She worked as associate professor at the Free University of Amsterdam and was member of several high-level medical-ethical committees. In 2015 she settled in France. Being essentially autodidact, she took up painting, in particular after being inspired by the Provençal landscape and friendships with fellow artists. In recent years she has shown her work at successful exhibitions in Provence.

  • Froid du l'Etang, French Expressionist Oil on Canvas Lake Landscape
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Mid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together. A journey of fabulous encounters for this artist, his work is impressive, not to mention his work in collaboration with very great artists." Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...
