About the Item

Artwork sold with frame (106 x 86 cm) Roger Paul Froidevaux (1918–1998) was a Swiss painter whose work captured the diverse landscapes and atmospheres of his homeland and beyond. Born on August 23, 1918, in Geneva, and passing away on August 12, 1998, in Lausanne, Froidevaux's artistic journey was deeply influenced by his Swiss roots and his travels abroad. Froidevaux's oeuvre is characterized by a blend of naturalistic and impressionistic styles, focusing on landscapes, still lifes, and scenes that evoke both the tranquility and vibrancy of nature. His paintings often reflect the serene beauty of the Swiss Jura and the Vaud regions, as well as the luminous qualities of Mediterranean locales he visited. Throughout his career, Froidevaux's works were featured in various exhibitions and have been sold at numerous auctions. Notable pieces include "Lueurs dans la Sierra" (1962), "Murs ensoleillés" (1982), and "La cité des bouteilles" (1971), showcasing his versatility and command over different subjects and techniques. While specific details about his education and early influences remain limited, Froidevaux's legacy is preserved through his artworks, which continue to be appreciated by collectors and art enthusiasts. His contributions to Swiss art offer a window into the country's rich artistic heritage during the 20th century.
