About the Item

Mid Century oil on canvas landscape painting by Franco Hungarian artist Elemer Vagh Weinmann. The painting is signed bottom right and is presented in a custom gilt frame with a white slip. In this masterful landscape painting, Weinmann captures the serene beauty of the countryside with striking depth and texture. Dominating the foreground, a winding path meanders through lush greenery, inviting viewers to explore the tranquil scene. Towering trees, painted with dynamic brushstrokes, frame the composition, their branches arching overhead to create a natural canopy. The interplay of light and shadow is meticulously rendered, with sunlight filtering through leaves to dapple the path below. Weinmann does not cover all the canvas with paint and uses white 'flurry' highlights to great effect. Beyond, expansive fields stretch toward a distant horizon, evoking a sense of endless possibility and peace. The subtle use of colour—rich earth tones contrasted with the soft glow of the sky—imbues the work with warmth and realism. This painting’s unique charm lies in its ability to transport the observer into a quiet moment of nature’s splendour, offering both an escape and a reminder of the world’s inherent beauty. Elemer Vagh Weinmann was born in Budapest. In 1932, he arrived with his elder siblings Nandor and Maurice in France. With them, he hid during the German occupation in the city of Toulouse, thanks to his archbishop, Cardinal Jules Saliège. He became a naturalized French citizen in 1945 and settled near Aix-en-Provence. He worked in association with his two brothers Nándor and Maurice. Sometimes they painted together but they each had their own distinctive style. The subjects were often landscapes, still lifes and portraits. They were described by their contemporaries as, 'From no school, violent and sensual, they are indeed from Central Europe." Elemer was described as, 'expressionist like his brothers, his touch is the most modern of the three one would take it for Pierre Soulages or Gérard Schneider".

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...
