About the Item
'Ajaccio: Heart of Corsica', oil on cardstock, by René Gaston Lagorre (circa 1960s). Ajaccio, nestled on the west coast of Corsica, graces the shores of one of the island's most beautiful bays. Surrounded by lush hillsides and opening out to the Mediterranean Sea, the city is renowned for its scenic beauty and tranquil vibes. In Ajaccio's old town, one finds picturesque pastel painted houses along narrow streets, and charming cafes and shops. The artist here captures a charming vignette of the town in his inimitable style. The beauty lies in its simplicity and expressive use of vibrant colour. Perhaps this painting is situated in one of these delightful quarters. The artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with non-reflective museum-grade glass. It is signed by the artist in the lower right hand. Please enjoy the many photos with the listing. Upon request, a video will be provided.
About the Artist: Born in New York in 1913 of French émigré parents, he returned to France in 1924. Lagorre attended the Toulouse school of Fine Arts then moved to Paris. He exhibited his work in the Salon d'Automne and Salon des Indépendents from 1954. Lagorre had a studio in Paris but he traveled back to his home region in southwest France where he was inspired to paint many of his well known works. As a figurative artist, Lagorre used lively colours in his paintings with subjects from daily life. He often painted farmers, shepherds, hunters and scenes at gypsy camps in the region. He also painted landscapes from the Ariège region of France, North Africa and Spain - even characters from novels like Don Quixote and Mowgly. Towards the end of his career Lagorre changed direction moving towards abstraction. The town of Seix has retained many of Lagorre's art works which are regularly exhibited for the public. An exhibit called Estivales de Lagorre has been held every summer since 2009 to commemorate his life's work. An artist now of considerable renown, Lagorre's paintings have been shown in many of the world's capitals and are collected internationally.
