About the Item

This stunning piece of The Lieutenancy, a prestigious building which sits at the entrance to the Vieux Bassin de Honfleur, which is a true witness to the history of the Norman port, spanning the centuries and quite simply the oldest building in the town, is a captivating original work by renowned artist Pierre Boudet. Boudet was mostly known for his playful and sophisticated paintings executed with bold use of paint and sporadic, yet controlled brushwork. With beautiful luminous light and colors, this painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career, it features beautiful multi-color hues that depict the charming docks with a gray toned sky and blue hued boats. His wonderful use of light and shadow in a pointillist style is exhibited beautifully as we can feel the time of day and the atmosphere. This painting is signed lower left and comes displayed in an elaborated antique gold tone priced frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 18 x 24 inches Frame measures 25 x 31 inches Pierre Boudet was born in 1915 in Caulnes in northwestern France, where he lived his youth. His parents were shoemakers and did not want him to venture into the Fine Arts world. However, young Pierre, being attracted by drawing, he enrolled to an Industrial Design School in Paris in 1968. And following his passion, he kept drawing for pleasure, while attending an art drawing school after classes in the evening. Adamant about learning, Pierre Boudet began painting in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, where he met Henri Le Sidaner, Pierre Montezin, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Lobre, Delaporte, and Henri Martin. He was a pupil and friend of Jean-Gabriel Domergue. Boudet mainly painted landscapes, boats, shores, and city views, notably of the Normandy coast, but also of places he visited on his travels, particularly Venice. He exhibited from 1945 at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants and the Salon d'Hiver, from 1950 at the Salon Violet, and occasionally at the Salon d'Art Libre from around 1960. His work was also featured in a Biennale exhibition of French painters that toured Buenos Aires, Chicago, New York, Washington, and Montreal in 1968. He also held solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Brussels in 1969-1970, in Paris in 1970, 1972, 1975, 1978, and 1985, and in London in 1972. A retrospective of his work was held at the Palais des Congrès, Versailles, in 1982. He exhibited regularly at the Wally Findlay gallery in New York and was awarded the Tossa de Mar Grand Prix and the Governor of Gerona Grand Prix (1964). Boudet died in 2010, leaving a legacy of outstanding pieces executed with a very fast gesture exemplary of his works. PROVENANCE: Wally Findlay Galleries; Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
