About the Item

An atmospheric sunset after the rain. The light reflected on the still-wet street is creating the most beautifully shimmering light. Two village women carrying baskets are chatting, and a carriage is passing by. If you know and love the work of Eugène Galien-Laloue (1853-1941), you will immediately recognise his scintillating style and subject matter. Laloue loved the region around Barbizon - in fact, he had a house in nearby Fontainbleau - and I have records of another painting that depicts the very same street!. As you will all know, Galien Laloue signed his works with almost a dozen different names (such as Dupuy, Galliany, Lieven and Lenoir) due to exclusivity contacts with rivalling galleries. Our painting is signed Lenoir, one of his referenced signatures, but whereas usually his Lenoir paintings bear the initial "M", ours bears the initial "A". I think he was probably just distracted (who wouldn't be, when signing at least 11 different signatures) and it is only because of the unusual initial that I am offering the work as attributed only. I am personally certain it is a work by the artist: and I am well placed to know, having been friends with the Galien Laloue family for several decades. Signed at the lower right, our oil on panel measures 22 x 27 cm. The overall size in a Barbizon frame is 35 x 40 cm.

Japan Japanese Garden by French naive outsider folk art primitive artist, 1975
Located in Norwich, GB
A perfect painting for lovers of Japan and those of primitive/naive outside art. It is a work by an internatoanlly noted extraordinary artist with an extraordinary life. Maurice LOIRAND (1922-2008) is born into a working class family in Brittany, near the Atlantic coast coast in France. He starts working as a skilled labourer in the shipyards aged 15. Aged 20, when the Nazis start to occupy the country, he joins the Resistance movement, where he meets and befriends thinkers, painters and poets. He is thus introduced to an artistic and intellectual universe far removed from the world of his origins. Loirand finds himself drawn to art, and soon dedicates all his free time to learn how to paint. Completely self taught, he soon begins to exhibit his pictures alongside high level artists. He moves to Paris in the 1950s, and - although still working as a technician - paints all night. He finally becomes a full time artist in 1968. International travel and a multitude of exhibitions follow. He exhibits in Brazil, Argentina, and with Jean Tiroche Gallery in New York, among others. His work is now shown alongside works by Leger, Matisse and Picasso. The Collector's Guild New York Ltd commissions Maurice Loirand for several works of lithographic art. Loirand discovers Japan in the early 1970s, and decides to stay for 18 years. He marries Kazué SHIMOTORI, a Japanese poet...
