About the Item

Signed post impressionist still life oil on canvas circa 1930 by sought after French impressionist painter Marcel Dyf. The work depicts wildflowers in a glazed vase. A wonderful piece. Signature: Signed lower left Dimensions: Framed: 22.5"x19" Unframed: 14"x10.5" Provenance: Private French collection With great thanks to Madame Claudine Dyf for confirming the authenticity of the work and its existing catalogue number of 4482 in the Dyf Raisonne. Madame Dyf confirms this work was painted around 1930 in the period that the painter was working in Arles. A certificate from Mme. Claudine Dyf is available upon request Marcel Dyf abandoned engineering to become a painter. He spent some months studying in a Paris studio, then explored Provence and settled first in Arles and later in Paris. He then divided his time between the Paris area and Cannes. Dyf's art derived from classical tradition and from moderate Post-Impressionism. His landscapes, which form the greater part of his output, are often painted in shades of ochre and in horizontal planes, with additional matter worked in. He produced many in the Île-de-France, in Provence where he lived, in Brittany and Normandy, in Venice, Morocco and Israel. He also painted portraits and figures, in the 1950s often of gypsy women, and frequently of his wife Claudine. He produced decorative work in the town halls of Stes-Maries de la Mer (Camargue) and St-Martin-de-Crau (Arles), and painted frescoes in the Musée Arlaten in Arles in 1936. In Paris he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, the Salon d'Automne and the Tuileries. He also had solo shows in Paris, three of them at the Galerie Petrides, and from 1956 in London at the Frost and Reed Gallery. In 1995 the General Council of Bouches-du-Rhône put on a retrospective exhibition of his early work, and in 1999 an exhibition at L'Espace Dyf in Bois-d'Arcy commemorated the hundredth anniversary of his birth.

The work depicts a ceramic vase placed on a wooden stall filled with pink peonies and yellow flowers. A beautiful piece in the artist's distinctive hand. Signature: Signed: Signed lower left Dimensions: Framed: 24"x21" Unframed: 16"x13" Provenance: To be included in the forthcoming Georges d’Espagnat Catalogue Raisonné being prepared by Jean-Dominique Jacquemond. From the beginning of his career it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagne to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France. In 1903, d'Espagne was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont...
