French landscape

Early 20th Century

About the Item

Marcel Dyf 1899-1985, born Marcel Dreyfuss, was a French post impressionist painter who mostly painted landscapes in France, as well as portraits and genre subjects including gypsies. He joined the French Resistance during the war where he had previously worked in Paris as a painter prior to the outbreak. After the war he returned to painting from his studio again in Paris, in the 1950's he moved seasonally to Cannes and there he attracted American clients but not before entering into a long term arrangement with Frost and Reed of London who bought his entire studio works at the first visit, Dyf was on the road to fame and some fortune. The directors of Frost and Reed were determined to capitalise on Dyf's production, and they visited him every year buying virtually all his works and then taking them to America where they would travel extensively selling and promoting his paintings. I am reliably informed that where Dyf had failed to sign a picture the person in charge would initial it himself, the pictures were in great demand in America and occasionally they would still be wet when collected from his studio. However this picture is signed and we believe that it is right but maybe not signed by the artist himself, hence the attribution. The frame bears the label of the frame maker, although the frame is original to the picture I decided to leave it in place, but it may require a small repair or replacement. The picture is in very good original condition.
