About the Item

'la Plage de Cannes' Impressionist figurative landscape painting of the famous Cannes beach with nude figures and beach parasols. Famed as a painter of ‘joy and light’, Lebasque is admired for the intimacy of his subject matter and his unique delight in colour and form and 'La Plage de Cannes' is a perfect example of this. Most likely painted en plein air, the present work is a delightful souvenir of happy times spent on holiday in Cannes with his family. There is a sense of calm infused in Lebasque's paintings which celebrate the fullness and richness of life. The composition highlights the artist's fascination with the portrayal of women in their natural surroundings. ebasque was a founding member of the Salon d’Automne in 1903 with his friend Matisse. Two years later a group of artists exhibited there who included Rouault, Derain, Vuillard, Manguin and Matisse. They were dubbed ‘Les Fauves’ for their stylistic ‘savagery’. The critic Vauxcelles noted that Lebasque’s talent arrived ‘in the midst of the roaring of the unchained beasts’. Like Les Fauves, Lebasque adopted a similar flattening of the picture plane, but blended with a sophisticated, subtle fluidity. With a colourful palette, he painted domestic scenes with his family as models, still lifes, landscapes, portraits and nudes.
