Hyppolite Roger
Fauvist Mid-Century Oil on Board of Boats at Anchor.

1960s

About the Item

French Mid 20th Century oil on board Fauvist view of boats at anchor, probably near Nice in the South of France by Hyppolite Roger. Signed bottom left. The painting has another equally lovely painting of a provencal village street scene to the reverse. A wonderful, vibrant and colourful painting of boats at anchor. Thickly applied paint and a host of colours give texture and great depth to this painting in particular to the changing light across the sea and the slightly moody sky. A charming work of art. Fauvism was a style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion on the canvas. The Fauves painted directly from nature, as the Impressionists had before them, but Fauvist works were invested with a strong expressive reaction to the subjects portrayed. First formally exhibited in Paris in 1905, Fauvist paintings shocked visitors to the annual Salon d’Automne; one of these visitors was the critic Louis Vauxcelles, who, because of the violence of their works, dubbed the painters fauves (“wild beasts”). The leader of the group was Henri Matisse, who had arrived at the Fauve style after experimenting with the various Post-Impressionist approaches of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat. Matisse’s studies led him to reject traditional renderings of three-dimensional space and to seek instead a new picture space defined by movement of colour. He exhibited his famous Woman with the Hat at the 1905 exhibition. In this painting, brisk strokes of colour—blues, greens, and reds—form an energetic, expressive view of the woman. The crude paint application, which left areas of raw canvas exposed, was appalling to viewers at the time.
