Georges Guerin
Impressionist Barbizon School Oil on Board, The Port With Sailboats

1930s

About the Item

1930s French Impressionist Barbizon School oil on panel view a port by Georges Guerin (1910-1984). The painting is not signed but was acquired with a collection of other signed paintings from the artists atelier. To the back of the board is another marine sketch of the same scene with chalk outline. A very charming port scene, possibly Brittany in Northern France. Guerin has achieved a wonderful play between light and shade, the monumentality of the tower and surrounding with their bright facades and terracotta tiled rooves. In the foreground the colourful sailboats in the harbour waiting to voyage out to the sea. Guerin is noted for his landscapes, seascapes, as well as for his Paris street scenes and views of the Brittany coast.

Impressionist Barbizon School Oil on Board Landscape, The 'Gorges de la Bourne'
By Georges Guerin
Located in Cotignac, FR
1930s French Impressionist Barbizon School oil on panel view of a river gorge by Georges Guerin (1910-1984). The painting is signed bottom right and also signed top left to the back of the board. The painting is also titled and dated to the back of the board, 'Gorges de la Bourne, Pont en Royans, Aout 1937.' A very charming view of a river passing through a gorge and leading to a sunlit and colourful rocky cliff face. Guerin has achieved a wonderful play between light and shade, bright and sombre colours making it at once classical in interpretation and yet also modern and abstract. His technique of thick impasto technique worked with a brush is especially successful and gives the paintings surface a charming quality. Guerin is noted for his landscapes as well as for his Paris street scenes and views of the Brittany coast. The Gorges de la Bourne or Bourne Gorge is a canyon at the bottom of which flows the River Bourne. It connects Pont-en-Royans to Villard-de-Lans in...
