About the Item

Signed lower right. Image dimensions: Framed dimensions: 82.5cm x 99.5cm / 32.5 inches x 39.2 inches Gustave Cariot was a French Pointillist and Post-Impressionist artist born in 1872 at Périgny-sur-Yerres near Paris. He grew up in the Marais area of Paris, a district where artists and small merchants flourished. His father was a luggage-maker and encouraged Cariot to become his apprentice but the young Cariot insisted on pursuing an artistic career. As a youth, he dedicated his spare time to drawing and sketching various views of the city and countryside surrounding Paris. Largely self-taught, Cariot became a celebrated Post-Impressionist painter. Cariot was also particularly interested in the techniques of the Pointillists and Divisionists, showing an awareness of both brushstrokes and colour theory to his work. In Meules dans un Paysage Vallonné the artist's distinctive style is characterized by a remarkably vibrant palette, contributing to a pronounced luminous effect. The canvas is bathed in a gentle indigo hue, a testament to the artist's captivation with the myriad effects of sunlight. This fascination manifests in the rendering of details such as the sky, clouds, and trees within the depicted landscape, resulting in the creation of a nuanced atmospheric ambiance. The artist employs areas of dense impasto brushwork across the composition, endowing each element with a discernible dimensionality. Notably, the individual standing haystacks emerge prominently from the surface of the canvas, further accentuating the tactile and visual richness of the overall composition. Inspired by Claude Monet’s ‘series paintings’ of haystacks and Rouen Cathedral of the 1890s, Cariot was fascinated by the fluctuations of light and colour brought about by the changing seasons. Cariot studied the effects of changing light and painted several series of works showing Paris and the French or German countryside at different hours of the day and in different seasons. He devoted two series of paintings to exploring this theme. Entitled ‘Le Poème des Saisons’, with each picture representing a different month, these paintings were exhibited together at the 1903 Salon des Indépendants. It was there, as the artist’s correspondence reveals, that these pictures would catch the eye of two of the most important collectors of the time, Serguei Dmitrievitch Cheremeteff and Armand Cabrol, leading to a surge in his popularity.
