Gabriel Belot
Pastoral Scene, Early 20th Century Fauvist Oil on Canvas.

1930's

About the Item

Early 20th century fauvist pastoral scene, quite probably of the Yonne region in central France, oil on canvas by French artist Gabriel Belot ( 1882-1962 ), signed bottom left. Presented in limed wood frame. Belot's talent for drawing had not gone unnoticed during his childhood so it was not surprising that by 1910 he had already exhibited a painting at the Salon des Indépendants. He then went on to further develop his talent and explore a new found interest in woodcutting. This newly discovered technique inspired the work ' L'Ile Saint-Louis ' which he produced entirely on his own , a collection of prose and illustrations, the whole of which (images in black, text, monochrome, binding) is by his own hand. Édouard-Joseph writes in his Biographical Dictionary of Contemporary Artists about this work: “This pre-typographical incunabula , a true masterpiece of technique and feeling, recalling the most beautiful medieval creations, attracted the attention of scholars and publishers." To him we owe many engravings, views of Paris, watercolours , oil paintings, drawings, still lifes, landscapes of Yonne and Jura etc. He exhibited in 1933 at the Galerie Émile Martin. As a Member of the National Society of Fine Arts he exhibited mainly in Liège and Brussels . Vice-president of the Society of Original Engraving, a large part of his work is kept at the Carnavalet Museum . We can still see more of his works in the Museums of Rabat , Nantes , Tours , Tokyo and in private collections. A street in Dijon bears his name.

  • Modernist Oil Painting Moody Fauvist Abstract Nude Figure Ralph Della Volpe
    Located in Surfside, FL
    RALPH DELLA-VOLPE (1923-2017) Fine Art Painter, American Contemporary Oil on canvas Hand signed lower right Artist Signed, Abstract Oil on Canvas. Figure in the distance. Approx: 30" x 27 1/2" framed, 26 1/2" x 23 1/2" canvas. TRAINING: National Academy of Design The Art Students League, NYC Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe's semi-abstract paintings of often simplified, minimalist, beach scenes and anonymous portraits "convey profound awareness of mood and character", and his paintings are hardly as literal as they may first appear (Arts Magazine. "New York Exhibitions". 1965). His brightly-colored, light-infused, ornamental compositions bring together aspects of many modernist art movements including Fauvism, Impressionism, Symbolism, and abstraction. Della-Volpe first studied painting at the prestigious National Academy of Design before joining the Army during World War II. As a soldier, the artist saw action on Utah Beach, winning a Purple Heart, and his experiences undoubtedly affected his later artistic style. The Fauvist "coloristic exuberance" found in the works beginning in the mid 1960's, with their vibrant fuschias and yellows, seem to offset what could be an otherwise solemn tone to many of his works at the time. Upon his return from military service, Della-Volpe’s style evolved significantly. In the years following the second world war, his work was solemn, imbued with a quiet darkness. Over time, this darkness faded: by the 1950s, influenced by his time at the Art Students League, his oeuvre was overtaken by the tenants of Abstract Expressionism. Paintings from this period boast bold brushwork, energetic compositions, and strong color. Although the next decade saw Della-Volpe trade expressionist abstraction for figuration, his love of color continued to shine through his work.Della-Volpe took a teaching position as the first artist-in-residence at Bennett College in Millbrook, New York where he remained for 28 years, serving as chairman of the Art Department for most of that time. Obviously influenced by impressionism 's preoccupation with the treatment of light, Della-Volpe's own works have a "faultless tonal quality, with its sense of failing light—the areas of silvery gray deepening into rosy tans" (Arts Magazine. "In the Galleries". 1960). Della-Volpe has exhibited widely throughout his career and has lectured on art at colleges, universities, and galleries across the country. He was included in the show Abstraction: 1950-1970 at Taylor Graham, Greenwich CT. A survey of post-war abstract art movements including Abstract Expressionism, Color Field, Hard Edge, Minimalism and Op-Art.
