This piece is a wonderful Mid Century pertinent example of Nannot de Groot's works from the prime of his career with thick use of impasto oil paint, and gestural brushwork throughout. In 1957 it was a transitional year from painting figures in his New York studio to his new studio into the countryside. And in 1959 he and his wife came back to Provincetown Massachusetts and rented a small cabin that was in a field belonging to Mary Cecil Allen on the west end. It was a small space, and there was a tree that was outside the front door, he was inspired and painted this tree over and over, and soon it was the beginning of a whole new series. The brush landscape that was outside of the window of the cabin became a focal point of this series and every year it would change, picking up inspiration to depict the tree in a new way each year. This piece is signed and dated 59' by the artist upper right corner and it comes housed with the original Mid-Century wood frame with gold rim and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 49 x 51 inches Frame measures 50 x 52 inches Nanno de Groot was born on March 23 of 1913, in Balkbrug, Holland. He started drawing at six years of age. Although his father prevented him to study art at an early age, he moved to the United States in the year of 1941, and in 1946 at age 33 he discovered Picasso and he dedicated the rest of his life to painting and drawing. He worked for a year as a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle. After his marriage to the New York School artist Elise Asher...

Boats at the Eaux-Vives Harbor, Geneva – Mid-Century Swiss Oil Painting Illegible signature This atmospheric oil on canvas depicts a peaceful view of the Eaux-Vives harbor in Geneva, with a group of small sailing boats and pleasure craft resting on the calm waters of Lake Geneva. Painted by an unidentified artist and bearing an indistinct signature, the work captures the quiet character of Geneva's lakeside during the mid-20th century. The composition is particularly appealing for its luminous and harmonious palette. Soft shades of pale blue, grey and cream dominate the lake and sky, while touches of ochre, rust red and orange animate the boats in the foreground. Their elongated reflections shimmer gently across the surface of the water, introducing movement into an otherwise tranquil scene. The artist employs fluid, economical brushwork, simplifying the forms of the boats and surrounding architecture while retaining a strong sense of atmosphere and perspective. The darker vessel and tall mast at the right provide a vertical counterpoint to the predominantly horizontal composition, while the distant shoreline and hills dissolve into soft blue-grey tones. Rather than concentrating on precise nautical detail, the painter focuses on light, reflections and the serene atmosphere of Lake Geneva, giving the work a distinctly Post-Impressionist sensibility. The Eaux-Vives waterfront and its harbor have long been emblematic subjects for Geneva artists, offering changing views of the lake, boats and surrounding landscape. This charming painting belongs to that tradition of Swiss lakeside landscape painting. With its understated palette and timeless subject, the work would integrate beautifully into both traditional and Mid-Century interiors. Indistinctly signed lower right. Oil on canvas.
