Mario Menin
Italian Impressionist, Woodland Walk and A Fauvist Village Scene (Double Sided)

1920s

About the Item

Early 20th century Impressionist oil on canvas view of a woodland walk by Italian artist Mario Menin. The painting is signed on the back stretcher and there is also a Fauvist village landscape scene to the back of the canvas. On original stretcher with 'keys'. Presented in painted period frame. The canvas could be restretched to present either painting. A charming view of a woodland walk, the trees providing a canopy of lush green foliage as the eye is drawn in to the perspective of the pathway and the cool of the shade. Though using a limited colour palette Menin has created a lovely sense of movement and texture through the use of impasto technique. Though his style evolved over time this painting seems to date to the 1920's when he was captivated by garden and landscape scenes. The painting to the back of the canvas, a village landscape, is very much in the Fauvist style which was clearly an influence on him and this is probably an earlier work. Born in Padua, Menin had his paintings included in the Venice Biennale International Exhibitions.

  • Orientalist Beach Scene, Chenoua Plage, Algerie, Oil On Canvas.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    An Orientalist beach scene of the coast of Algeria at Chenoua by French painter Gustave Lino. The painting is signed, located and dated bottom left. Presented in a plain gilt frame. A charming and atmospheric view of a day at the beach. The revellers are enjoying bathing in the Mediterranean, resting under their colourful parasols against the sun and exploring the far off rocks of the cove. The sea gently lapping against the rocks at the shore. A small row boat ready for an excursion. Lino has beautifully captured the feeling of joy and fun that a day at the beach brings. Gustave Lino was born in 1893 in Mulhouse, France. At the age of twenty, he went to Marseille, discovered Provence and the Mediterranean. He was already interested in painting and art from numerous visits to the museum of his hometown, but he had not yet followed any training in this field. In Marseille, far from home and idle, he decides, almost on a whim, to travel to Algiers, without really knowing what he will discover there. He embarked for Algiers at the age of 19 in 1912. He exhibited with his friends Romeo Charles Aglietti in 1914 at 'Herero' in Algiers. Unfortunately in 1914 in Corsica in Ajaccio, being of German nationality and Mulhouse being part of the German Empire since 1871, he was interned as a 'civilian'. He spent the First World War in the Isle of Beauty but spent his time wisely developing his artistic skills. He realised many paintings as well as the historical decorations of the Solferino Hotel in Ajaccio and the religious decorations of the castle of Malaspena-Massa in Belgodère. In December 1918, he returned to Algiers where he was a pupil of Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1926 and at the Danton gallery, rue La Boétie in 1927. He settled permanently in Algiers and then in Bou-Saada. Back in Algeria, he took a close interest in the painting of Albert Marquet, which particularly seduced him and with whom he became a close friend. The transparent sharpness, this harmony of lines and tones becomes his ideal of perfection. He specialised in Algerian seascapes and landscapes, a colourist above all. Becoming an adopted member of the group called "Painters of Poetic Reality" (with Jean...
