About the Item

Hubert AICARDI (1922-1991) Cloud, circa 1960 Oil on isorel panel Signed lower left 10,5 × 16 cm frame 18 × 22,5 cm Hubert Aicardi is a painter from the Provençal school, born in Marseille in 1922. His vocation for painting became apparent in childhood and was never discouraged by his parents, who were themselves art lovers. He initially trained at the school of fine arts in his hometown before enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He frequented “the Péano painters,” named after the café on Rue Fortia where post-war Provençal masters such as Arsène Sari (1895-1995), Pierre Ambrogiani (1907-1985), and Eugène Baboulène (1905-1994) would gather. Deeply rooted in Provence, Hubert Aicardi created unique views of the rocky landscapes and seashores of his native region that broke with traditional representations and those of the Cézanne heritage. He preferred the infinite spaces of sand and pebbles or the fine grayscale of wet skies. Within these inanimate landscapes, the unusual absence of people and the absolute silence are surprising, if not disturbing. A great loner, the spirit of the work reflects the complex nature of the artist: “For me, only the world I create exists.” He is also the author of several illustrations, including those for Edouard Peisson's L'Anneau des mers, published in 1952 by Flammarion. Since the 1970s, the Galerie Jouvène (Marseille) has devoted several monographic exhibitions to him. The breath of rigor and invention “Everything is true, and yet nothing is exactly reproduced. Everything is fantasy, and yet each element is recognizable. Aicardi's paradox lies in the fact that the rigor of his paintings has breath, and that the realism he uses is invented. The coves, the beaches, the tree, the forest fire, the boats, the small ports, the windows, the walls, the palisades, the summers of leaden skies, the flowery springs, the glacial winters, the autumns adorned with Byzantine goldwork, are the themes of his universe in non-chronological order. They celebrated in advance the world of the unusual where he has just taken up his winter quarters: that of the demiurges.” André Alauzen di Genova, historian, journalist and art critic (1924-1998), 1991.
