About the Item

Signed and dated impressionist oil on panel landscape by French painter Camille Roche. This beautifully coloured piece depicts a view of the River Seine in Paris, France on a bright summer's day. Several boats are moored at the side of the river and the silhouette of the city's grand buildings can be seen beyond the bridge. Signature: Signed lower right and dated 1906 verso Dimensions: Framed: 26"x29" Unframed: 19"x22" Provenance: This work was exhibited at the Salon D'Automne - 1906 - Section Fauve Literature: At the time this work was executed Camille Roche was just 12 years old. In the previous year aged just 11 he had presented his first paintings at the Salon D'Automne in the Fauve Section where his work hung alongside that of Andre Derian, Henri Matisse, Maurice Vlaminck and Georges Braque Camille Roche was born in Paris in 1894 into a family of artists. His father Odilon Roche was an artist and art dealer and he perceived his son’s artistic predispositions very early and encouraged him to carry out his pictorial research alone, moving away from the rigor imposed by official institutions. An early self-taught artist, Camille Roche exhibited two works at the Salon d'Automne of 1905 in the Fauve section alongside Braque , Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck, he was then 11 years old. He continued his apprenticeship and travelled to Italy and Tunisia where he produced numerous drawings. He received his first decor orders in 1913 and designed large oriental-inspired frescoes for Colette’s apartment, then CocoChanel's a few years later. Mobilized in 1914, he was seriously injured in combat which led to his being demobilized in 1916. He then found his easel again and returned to his favorite subjects: nature and the animal world, refuges to forget the horrors of war. Steeped in Far Eastern influences, Camille created his own artistic vocabulary. In 1920, he was awarded the first class of the American Foundation for Thought and Art also known as the “Florence Blumenthal Foundation”. Several solo exhibitions were dedicated to him at the Galerie Devambez in 1924 and at the Galerie Vincent in 1930. The artist also regularly participated in the Salon d’Automne, the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts and at the Salon of the Society of Animal Artists. Approached by the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, he began a collaboration which would last for many years and exhibited his work during the two International Exhibitions of 1925 and 1937, for which he executed Le Paradis Terrestre et le Boudoir by Serge and Camille Roche, a work created with the participation of his brother Serge. The decade of the 1930s marked the prolific collaboration between the two brothers. Camille participated to the numerous orders that Serge Roche received, and thus created most of the decorations for the hotel privately owned by Serge located at Rue de Las Cases in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Together they explored new technical processes and organized exhibitions where they presented panels of painted glass decorated with stucco, screens on gold and silver backgrounds, recalling the work of Max Ingrand for his works fixed under églomisé glass, and even terrestrial globes in smoked glass and silver ice. Their work fascinated the public and earned Camille several important commissions, the most remarkable being that of the Villa “Le Roc” in Juan-les-Pins, belonging to Lady and Lord Cholomndely, chamberlain to the Queen of England. The artist imagined lush trompe l’oeil gardens and aquatic ornaments for dining rooms, living rooms and cool room decors.
