Henri Reboa
Still Life of Roses in a Vase, Mid-Century French Oil on Canvas.

Circa 1950's

About the Item

Mid-Century French still life of roses in a vase, oil on canvas by Marseille artist Henri Reboa. The work is signed bottom right and is presented in a gilt frame. This painting of roses in a vase against a background of mauve tulips is painted swiftly and with confidence. The colour palette is very well chosen, warm yet vibrant as the touches of sharper green leaf offset the mauve backdrop of tulips and the baby pink petals. The backdrop is reminiscent of the interior paintings of Matisse who often painted his subject against a colourful and lively wallpaper or carpet. This device brings further interest to the painting sometimes offering clashing colours which keeps the eye excited and engaged. In this case, quite cleverly, we have a painting of flowers within a painting of flowers therefore adding to the overall richness of the piece. The quick dabs of the brush can easily be seen which give texture and an energy to the painting, further enhanced by the half shadow over the subject. The clever use of light and shade gives a robustness and liveliness to the roses. A strong painting which can either work in a tone on tone environment due to its restrained colour palette or stand alone due to its energy of brushstroke and presence.

Large Mid-Century Abstract Expressionist Oil on Canvas, Circle of Bernard Buffet
Located in Cotignac, FR
Large mid-century abstract expressionist oil on canvas of a still life of flowers by Belgian artist Eric Verhal. Signed and dated '65 to the bottom right and again to the reverse of the canvas. A colourful and energetic painting of a vase of flowers. Very much of its period. Angular lines reminiscent of the work of Bernard Buffet outline and crisscross luminescent fields of colour in orange, yellow, white and red. A real period piece, strong and full of energy. Eric Verhal ( born: 1938 ) : Masters of Art History and Archaelogy, State University, Ghent, Belgium. Masters of Fine Arts, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. In 1968, after a period of four years as a teacher at the Lycée des Garçons in Sfax, Tunisia, Verhal left for Spain and Portugal with a scholarship from the Belgian Gouverment. After this, he traveled to the U.S.A. where he taught painting and printmaking at the Washington University, St. Louis, U.S.A. In 1970 he obtained his Masters of Fine Arts degree at the same university. From 1973 up until 1999, Verhal taught history of art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Ghent, Belgium. In the summers of 1974 till 1981, Verhal taught diffirent courses at the Portland School of Art, Maine, U.S.A. and at the University of North-Carolina, Greensboro, North-Carolina, U.S.A. Verhal obtained scholarships for Rome, Italy, in 1961-1962, Lisbon in 1966-1967 and Germany in 1978. In September and October 1979, he worked in Boston, U.S.A., and obtained a scholarship for Japan, in 1983, where he had a show in the White Striped House Museum, Tokyo, Japan. In 1998 Verhal opened a studio in Brooklyn (N.Y. City, U.S.A.). Arsonists burned the studio down and Verhal’s studio moved to Coton-on-Hudson, N.Y., U.S.A., in the house of his oldest daughter. Verhal opened a new studio in France, Le Massif...
