About the Item
This beautiful oil-on-board painting was created by Pierre-Edmond Peradon (1893 - 1981).
This is a large-size oil painting by the well-listed French Post-Impressionist painter, Pierre-Edmond Peradon. The colors are bold with a green palette, giving the scene a fresh feeling.
This superb oil-on-panel offers a peaceful and luminous landscape with geometric fields and mountains in the background. The soft light envelops the vigorous touch of the artist. The painter found his inspiration in this bucolic landscape. The tones are sustained, and the colors are vibrant.
This painting is poetic, and its structure and color palette owes much to Paul Cezanne's works.
Peradon’s undulating French landscape owes much to Post-Impressionist Movement in his choice of earth tonalities and simplification of form, yet it is highly lyrical in rendition.
A hand-written inscription at the back of the panel reads Alpes de Haute Provence - 70.
Newly reframed in an elegant gilded carved wood frame and beige fabric jutte liner.

About:
Pierre Edmond Peradon (France, 1893 - 1981) was born in Courseulles in Calvados on August 3, 1893. He died on July 4, 1981, in Courseulles, his birthplace. He was born into a comfortable bourgeois home, and he had the luxury of enjoying his artistic career without the necessity of selling his paintings. He spent much of his time writing poetry and socializing with members of various art circles within Paris. Peradon exhibited his artworks in the most prominent salons and at the Galerie Gerbe in Paris in 1925 and 1930.
The paintings of Peradon follow the cubism style and are influenced by the French tradition of portraying poetic reality. He has fond memories of the azure blue sea along the Normandy coasts, the expansive bocage provinces, and the endless beaches merging with the horizon. He exhibited and stayed in France in Nevers, Blois, Paris, and Caen from 1912 to 1930, and Alsace, Nièvre, Alps, Savoie, and Provence from 1945 to 1981. In 1944, he did not hesitate to paint the Normandy landings. From this historical period, he will leave rare watercolors. His paintings of the landing restore an infinity of testimonies, and their power of realistic evocation marks a suspended time.
His works are composed of thin layers of oil paint that are diluted and applied in flat brushstrokes to the canvas, creating a luminous and harmonious pictorial surface. The ethereal quality of his works is due to a limited but cohesive color scheme and the absence of apparent brushstrokes, both of which contribute to rendering a highly atmospheric effect to the composition.

- By the Beach, Oil on Canvas Painting by André HambourgBy André HambourgLocated in Atlanta, GAThis elegant oil on mounted canvas is by André Hambourg (France, 1909-1999) and features a seaside composition. The artwork is signed in the bottom left corner. The landscape is a lovely pastel color composition, by the beach, on the French Atlantic coast nearby Cabourg or Deauville. Newly framed with a gray and green ceruse wood frame and a blue canvas matte. Measurements: With frame: 22.82 in. wide (58 cm) x 19.32 in. high (49 cm). Opening: 16.13 in. wide (41 cm) x 12.63 in. high (32 cm). About: André Hambourg was born in Paris on 5 May 1909. Entering the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in 1926, he studied sculpture under Paul Niclausse for four years. The young artist then entered the studio of Lucien Simon at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. While in the middle of his academic studies, Hambourg had his debut solo exhibition at the Galerie Taureau in Paris in 1928. He was only 19 years old. Because of the early recognition of his talent, Hambourg became active in major Paris salons in the first stages of his fledgling career. In 1931, he was made a member of the Salon de l’Art Français Indépendant and the Salon de l’Oeuvre Unique. The first of Hambourg’s many honors was the Prix de la Villa Abd-el-Tif, awarded in 1933. As a result, the artist traveled to North Africa for the first time and spent nearly ten years working in Algeria and Morocco. The strong light of the sun, and the bleak poverty of this region, inspired Hambourg’s works. In 1937, he executed a large mural for the Algerian Pavilion at the Exposition Internationale of Paris. Throughout his years in North Africa, Hambourg would exhibit his paintings in numerous solo exhibitions in Algeria and Paris. In 1939, Hambourg was mobilized as a military reporter and draughtsman and worked on the staff of the Journal de Commissariat a la Guerre, the newspaper of the French army, under the pseudonym Andre Hache. Special missions on combat vessels led to his appointment as a war correspondent in 1944 with the staff of inter-allied SHAEF. As such, he participated in the campaigns of Germany, Alsace, the Atlantic front, and the Liberation of France. After returning to his artistic career for a short time, Hambourg became the official painter of the Navy in 1952. He undertook numerous voyages aboard French Navy vessels on missions worldwide, including Venice, the Soviet Union, Israel, Great Britain, The Ivory Coast, The United States, and Mexico. From these extended trips, the artist brought back numerous sketches and preparatory drawings for future paintings and illustrations. His international trips would have a lasting influence on his artwork. Hambourg’s adventurous maritime career resulted in his receiving the honor of Laureate of the Salon de la Marine and becoming the official painter of the Marine Ministry. In 1970, five hundred of his works created a prestigious retrospective at the Maison de Culture in Bourges, France. Other notable shows include Drawings of Venice...Category
