Charles Genge was born in 1874, and he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris. Genge is considered a leader of the British Post Impressionists, and in his early years, the artistic foundation was laid for the rest of Genge’s career, as an artist who rejected academic traditions and believed that art should be available to all. Charles Genge was a dedicated teacher and one of the founders of Bethnal Green Working Men’s Institute, where he offered tuition until 1925. During his earlier career, his works were exhibited at Goupils, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the New English Art Club. And in 1927, Genge was appointed Curator at the RA Schools.
Genge’s success is due partly because his work displayed a real understanding of the power of colour and mark-making in the French artists – the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, the Fauves and the Cubists – whose work was still very influential in Britain. And also because his works were also infused with a love of the everyday life of the countryside and the suburbs, which he painted in both England and France. Through his paintings, he demonstrated spontaneity and enthusiasm for the plein-air technique of painting, with bold applications of paint laid on paint and the use of dense stripes of colour. His works are distinguished by the excitement, brilliance, and beauty of the ordinary and familiar, British or French landscape scenes. This ability to combine a radical technique with these familiar scenes is what ensured that Genge’s work appealed to many.
In 1930, his works were shown in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, next to many other interesting artists, from Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry to Emily Beatrice Bland, David Bomberg, Muirhead Bone, and Jacob Epstein. Genge died in 1958, and although he had instructed his nephew, William Genge, to clear his studio and burn his paintings upon his passing, instead Genge’s paintings were stored and left hidden for many years. And eventually, the entire studio collection was handed over to Campbell's of Walton Street Ltd., in Knightsbridge, to offer them to the public. From there, the first major exhibition of Genge’s work was in June 1985, which had great success. And subsequently, his works were included in other exhibitions throughout the 1980s, and the following decade. In 1997, a small number of watercolours on paper were exhibited and sold in New York. The remaining paintings by Charles Genge were bequeathed to Campbell’s, after William Genge’s death in 2002.

"Marina in the French Riviera" Post-Impressionist Sea Shore Boats Oil Painting
By Lucien Adrion
Located in New York, NY
This work by Lucien Adrion is a wonderful representation of his Post-Impressionist works at the seashore by the French Riviera. Using a bright palette of colors, Adrion executes this piece with much attention to detail with many boats situated along the marina. There are palm trees and buildings placed in the distance, as we can feel the warmth of the sun contrasted with the cool breeze of the water. The boats are wonderfully executed by the artist in a very whimsical way that leaves us with an essence of enjoyment from that sunny day at the marina. As this tourist destination was a favorite of the artist to find inspiration and highly attractive subjects and compositions to represent, we can find several of his works like this subject and others. The piece is signed by the artist lower left and it comes housed in a French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 19 x 23.5 inches
Frame measures 27 x 32 inches
Lucien Adrion was born May 25, 1889 in Strasbourg, France. He was a French Post-Impressionist painter, draftsman, and printmaker known for his depictions of the French countryside and beaches, as well as Parisian life including landscape, still life, figure, and landmarks paintings. He began his initial studies in Strasbourg as a technical draughtsman. In 1907, at the age of 18, he left his hometown Strasbourg and traveled to Paris, where he found employment in a large drafting company to work as a fashion illustrator. Adrion changed his mind upon arrival and rather than working for a large company, he decided to peruse his artistic career by traveling to London, Munich, and Frankfurt. As the World War broke out he had to go to Berlin, where he studied as an engraver with Hermann Struck, who was also the teacher of Marc Chagall. He remained in Berlin until the war ended and after the demobilization, Lucien would study engraving under Franz Ritter von Struck...
