About the Item

A field of dead almond trees lie before a colorful french village waiting for the storm to blow in. A 20th-century French realist and impressionist painter, especially known for marine subjects, Jean Rigaud was born in Bordeaux in 1912, just before the beginning of World War I. He also did other subjects including French village scenes and works reflecting his widespread travels including to Spain, Egypt and Morocco. For the French government, he was Official Marine Painter and in that capacity traveled to the United States on the ship, Jean Bart. His early training was from his artist and art-teacher father, Pierre Gaston Rigaud, and he encouraged his son as well as other students to develop their own unique approach to painting. He then enrolled in the l'Ecole des Beaux Arts at the Atelier André Dewambez. In 1925, Jean Rigaud began exhibiting at the Paris salons, and this entry began a prolific series of exhibition venues including 53 one-man exhibitions between 1938 and 1974. The Galerie Durand-Ruel featured his work in exhibitions every other year between 1956 and 1974, the last one being the gallery's final exhibition. Among his prizes were the 1937 Gold Medal in Paris at The International Exhibition; the 1953 Prize of Maroco; and the 1956 "Painter of the French Navy" award. Among the museums that collect his work are the National Museum in Paris, the Museé de Tours, Musée de Poitiers, and the Musée Strasbourg.

"Rendez-vous Ventetien", Gerard Valtier, Oil on Canvas, Venice, Gondola, Street
By Gerard Valtier
Located in Dallas, TX
"Rendez-vous Ventetien" by Gerard Valtier is an original oil on canvas that measures 29x36 inches. This impressionistic painting uses warm vivid colors to create a scene of gondola's on a canal in Venice. Many appreciate the energetic work of the brush to describe the foliage or the luminous backgrounds irradiated with numerous vibrant colors. Seething with colors, sparkling, blazing, molten gold: the whole mystery of Gerard Valtier’s painting lies in the working of this colorful living chemistry, where the thickening cover of the glaze catches the reflections of the light, which progressively becomes incandescent. The contrasting blue and yellow, basically naturalistic colors - characteristic of the impressionist palette - create a feeling of bedazzlement which send out their own light, directly imitating the natural effects of light itself. Thus, the property of the color, the interaction of colors as well as their power to create some light, definitely are the basis of Valtier’s work. The artist can paint everything: barges along the quay, the busy crowds, Venice and its carnival, the bride and her procession - his whole painting is under the sign of the feast. Unlike Renoir or Cezanne, Valtier does not hesitate to use black as a true color, not one designed to soften or drain the pure color, as in the shadows. One will also appreciate the energetic work of the brush to describe the foliage or the luminous backgrounds irradiated with numerous vibrant colors. Valtier has had exhibitions throughout the world and has received many awards. He paints from his studio in Arles, France. He is listed in Mayers, Akoun, La Cote des Peinteres, Bordas International, and Financial Art.
