Robert Deborne
Paysage du Viviers, French Post-Impressionist Oil Painting

About the Item

Robert Deborne French 1870 - 1944 Viviers Oil on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 25 3/4 x 20 1/2 inches Gilt frame Robert Deborne (1870-1944) a French painter and Post-Impressionist has somehow escaped the recognition and acclaim afforded to his contemporaries who were also painting in the south of France in the early 20th century. He died in 1944, at which time his paintings were put away in his studio attic for more than half a century. However, on being brought to light again we can now see his lively depiction/interpretation of the area surrounding him over a hundred years ago. Despite his prolificacy, the traces he leaves are tiny, and considering the little that we know of his career, one would be tempted to believe that the person concerned had something to do with it. Having organised no personal exhibition during his lifetime, maintaining no contact with any art dealer, not opening his studio to anyone, writing nothing, Robert Deborne closed rather brutally on the enigma of his person, notoriety portal, although he exhibited often at the Salon d’Automne in Paris (becoming a member in 1923) and the Salon du Sud-Est. A noted talent in his day, Deborne exhibited with major artists at the Salon du Sud-Est. This salon exhibition was on during the winter, which was perfect for Deborne as he was able to paint all summer, his preferred season. The Salon was a forum for unknown, innovative, emerging artists. His paintings were hung alongside works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Paul Gaugin, Georges Rouault, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Felix Vallotton and Edouard Vullard, to name but a few. Deborne was exhibiting at the Salon du Sud-Est in 1905, the year when the press coined the then rather disparaging term of ‘Fauves’ (French for ‘wild beasts’) to describe artists using strong, separate, unnatural colours in a representational manner, moving away from the realism of impressionism. The phrase stuck and the new movement of Fauvism was recognised, of which Deborne was certainly a part and influenced by

  • The Heat of Summer
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on board, signed on verso Image size: 31 1/2 x 25 inches (80 x 64 cm) Framed This is a wonderful work of Pointillism, a technique of painting where small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This techniques relies on the ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to blend the colour spots into a fuller range of tones. The practice of Pointillism lies in sharp contrast to the traditional methods of blending pigments on a palette. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term 'Pointillism' was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, but is now used without its earlier pejorative connotations.

  • Moonlight Scene with Fishermen
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas Image size: 23 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (60 x 47 cm) Original frame This moonlit view features many of the usual features of Sebastian Pether's work: a painterly river, mountain scenery and the incorporation of classical gothic ruins in an attractive though artificial style. The ruins in the foreground and city in the background have been painstakingly depicted in meticulous detail. On the bank in the foreground, and out on the river itself, we see three night fishermen silhouetted against the calm waters. The artist has cleverly balanced the light emanating from the moon, and the reflection of this light glistening on the river surface below, to create the mysterious atmosphere of the moonlit evening. Indeed, he has skilfully employed the strong use of chiaroscuro effects of light and shade in this painting so that the eye is drawn to the full moon as it illuminates the sky. It is undeniably a work of Romanticism, a style that was popular around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Artist Sebastian Pether was an English landscape-painter. He was the eldest son of Abraham Pether...
