About the Item
Lydia Radda (1891-1967)
Aquarium, circa 1935
Oil on panel
Signed “Radda” lower right
13 x 16 inch
Painter born in Corbeil-Essonnes in 1891, Julie Florent was active in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century in the Montparnasse district under the name Lydia Radda. Self-taught, she confides that she was brought to painting by the enchantment of stained glass windows in churches. She occupies a small studio in the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs where she lives humbly. The one who was accused of being a savage remained almost cloistered there, willingly keeping away from the artistic and literary coteries.
She worked there obstinately and escaped when an opportunity to reach the Mediterranean presented itself. The young artist participated in the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon d'Automne from 1924 and the Salon des Tuileries. Several Parisian galleries devoted exhibitions to her such as the Charles-Auguste Girard Gallery, the Granoff Gallery or the Mantelet Gallery by Colette Weil where her works rubbed shoulders with those of Tsuguharu Léonard Foujita, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri de Waroquier or André Lhote.
Lydia Radda is famous for painting female nudes, landscapes and still lifes with flowers. Her work of the 1920s was very successful and unanimously impressed the critics of her time who praised her as a promising artist whose progress was constant. One evokes an artist "of an acute and charming grace "*, with a sensitive and pearly painting, "ignorant of any academism "**. Louis Vauxcelles writes that Lydia Radda's art: "pleases like a fruit with golden flesh, with juicy pulp. It is made of spontaneity, passion and also of scruples". As for André Salmon: "Radda builds cities and gardens of dreams, where all the images of the dream come together, but washed at last of the bad enchantments of the night." One of Lydia Radda's Aquariums is quoted in a review by André Warnod that appeared in the magazine Comoedia in November 1928 (n°5778).
The work we propose is directly related to this series of landscapes. The artist represents a dreamed aquatic world evoking the extraordinary and the wonderful. She confided that she loved the disconcerting forms and subtle harmonies of fish and other plants evolving in the depths of unknown seas. During her lifetime, Dutch art lovers with whom she had correspondences, followed her work closely and supported her. To this day, several of her works are preserved in the collections of Dutch museums, notably oils belonging to the same Aquaruims series.
