About the Item

* No US duty or taxes to pay on this item * A beautiful mid 20th century French naïf oil on canvas wooded landscape by Charles Pincon-Maricourt. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naïfs'', which is considered to be the bible of 20th century French naïf painters. This work depicts the Forest of Chantilly in the heart of the Oise, Northern France. Signed centre right and heavily inscribed on the reverse with title, date and dedication to a friend of the artist. Interestingly also inscribed with the artist's name and title as Mayor of Guerville. Presented in it's original carved wood Montparnasse frame and in very fine original condition. A masterpiece of mid 20th century French naïf art. Artist: Charles Pincon-Maricourt (French, 1902-1973) Title: Foret Chantilly Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 25 x 31.5 inches (64 x 80 cm) including the frame Charles Pincon-Maricourt was a true French naïf painter of the 20th century. A magistrate who became a Justice of the Peace in Mantes la-Joli, then mayor of Guerville, both places in Seine-et-Oise. He came from a large family and had to start work early in life because of his father's premature death. It was his mother, nee Virginie Maricourt, a cultivated and sensitive woman, who taught him to love nature in all its simplicity. He remembered his mother when he later began to paint, always using the same motif, in snow or in wind, and this is probably why his snowscapes, for instance, are like childhood dreams realized late in life. The honesty and sincerity of his work was soon rewarded - he received decorations and honors from several public organisations, including the silver medal of Paris.
