1950's

About the Item

Title: Mid Century French Pastel Drawing of Hillside View Looking down to Coastal Town Artist: Josine Vignon (French 1922-2022) Medium: Oil Pastel on artist paper Size: 19.75 (height) x 25.75 (width) Stamped: Verso Condition: Good Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist's estate Description: This vibrant drawing captures the natural beauty of a hillside overlooking a coastal town. The composition features a lush, sloping hillside dotted with gnarled trees, their branches reaching out into the bright sunlight. In the distance, the calm blue sea and a small coastal town are faintly visible, offering a stunning contrast to the vivid greens and yellows of the hillside. Vignon’s use of oil pastel adds depth and texture to the scene, with the foliage, grass, and tree trunks depicted in rich, detailed strokes. The play of light across the landscape, from the bright sunlight illuminating the trees to the gentle shadows falling across the ground, enhances the feeling of warmth and serenity. The background offers a soft, hazy view of the sea and the distant coastline, blending seamlessly with the vibrant foreground. This piece is a wonderful example of Vignon’s ability to capture the tranquility of the natural world while incorporating the expansive beauty of a coastal setting.

Only A River's (Gonna Make Things Right), Original Signed Landscape Painting
By Dina Gardner
Located in Boston, MA
Only A River's (Gonna Make Things Right), Original Impressionist Landscape Painting 9" x 12" (HxW) Pastel on Paper Hand-signed by the artist. A combination of an impressionist and expressionist landscape, Dina Gardner's interpretation of the light in this gesturally painted artwork gives an energy and vitality to the work, with the use of rich reds and purples to depict the mountain's rock face. The cool blue waters then re-center the work, grounding the composition and giving it a serene feel that calms the viewer. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
