Pointillist View of Olive Trees in a Provencale Landscape, Circle of Paul Signac1900s
1900s
About the Item
Early 20th Century Pointillist painting of Provençal countryside, possible around St Tropez. The painting is unsigned but clearly influenced by the works of Paul Seurat and his contemporaries and is of very fine quality. Presented in a fine carved wood, patinated and gilt frame with framers label from Paris.
Provenance: Private French collection by descent.
A ravishing view of a South of France landscape, olive trees and garrigue probably painted 'en plein air' in the tradition of the earlier Barbizon School. The artist has created a wonderful atmospheric landscape using the pointillist technique so it is the eye of the beholder that creates unity from the forms and colours. The artist has used a characteristic rose pink for the terrain reminiscent of the colour choices of Seurat. The mauve blue of the sky and the texture of the bark on the trees with traces of green moss and lichen. It is an artistic tour de force, truly a jewel of a painting. The style and subject matter are also very reminiscent of the paintings of Henri Edmond Cross who was painting in the South of France at this period.
Paul Victor Jules Signac (11 November 1863 – 15 August 1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter who, with Georges Seurat, helped develop the artistic technique Pointillism.
Paul-Victor-Jules Signac was born in Paris on 11 November 1863. His parents wanted him to study architecture but, as he said, his preference was to draw the Seine. He was particularly affected by an 1880 exhibition of Claude Monet's work. Signac began boating.
In 1884 he met Claude Monet and Georges Seurat. He was struck by the systematic working methods of Seurat and by his theory of colours and he became Seurat's faithful supporter, friend, and heir with his description of Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism method. Under Seurat's influence he abandoned the short brushstrokes of Impressionism to experiment with scientifically-juxtaposed small dots of pure colour, intended to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye, the defining feature of Pointillism.
The Mediterranean coast is a major theme across Signac's paintings. He left the capital each summer, to stay in the south of France in the village of Collioure or at St. Tropez, where he bought a house and invited his friends. He envisioned the South of France as the perfect location for a future anarchist utopia.

Place Pigalle
By Lucien Génin
Located in London, GB
'Place Pigalle', oil and gouache on art paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). Pigalle is well known to tourists who want to experience "Paris by night". It is home to some of Paris' most famous cabarets such as the Moulin Rouge which was immortalised by artist Toulouse-Lautrec. Lautrec's studio was here as was Picasso's, Vincent Van Gogh's and that of Andre Breton. In 1928 Josephine Baker opened her first nightclub next door to Breton's apartment. It is certainly a historical landmark of Paris and well known to so many visitors of this beautiful city. Génin painted Paris and Parisians and this is another one of his charming works among many held by this gallery. Please feel free to peruse them all on this platform. In good overall condition. Newly framed and glazed with anti-reflective glass. Upon request a video may be provided.
