Post-Impressionist Oil Painting of Freshwater Fish on White Plate

By Edouard Arthur

Located in Genève, GE

Dimensions with frame: 44 x 57 x 5 cm. Signed and dated "Arthur 48" in the lower left corner. A striking and modernist still life depicting three freshly caught fish arranged on a white ceramic platter beside a simple kitchen knife. Executed with confident, textured brushwork and a restrained palette, the composition transforms an everyday subject into a powerful study of form, color, and materiality. The artist emphasizes the tactile qualities of the fish through thick impasto and nuanced earthy tones, contrasting beautifully against the luminous white tablecloth and the deep, almost abstract dark background. The dynamic placement of the fish creates a subtle rhythm across the composition, while the pared-down setting recalls the directness and honesty of early 20th-century European still life painting. Influenced by Post-Impressionist and modern realist traditions, the work balances painterly spontaneity with careful observation. The expressive handling of paint and simplified composition evoke the spirit of French and Continental modernist still lifes of the early to mid-20th century. An elegant and sophisticated still life ideal for collectors of European modernism, culinary subjects, and expressive figurative painting. still life painting, fish still life, modernist still life, Post-Impressionist painting, European still life, fish painting, culinary still life, kitchen still life, French still life painting, School of Paris, expressionist still life, oil on canvas still life, impasto painting, rustic still life, seafood painting, market fish painting, tabletop still life, knife in still life, modern European painting, figurative still life, early modernism, painterly still life, collectible still life art, Continental painting, expressive brushwork, white plate still life, food still life painting...

Landscape River The Banks of the Allondon Oil Painting on Canvas, Framed, 1946

By Edouard Arthur

Located in Genève, GE

Dimension with frame : 62.5 x 72 x 4 cm Swiss Modernism – Post-Impressionism – Modern Landscape Painting This expressive oil on canvas by Swiss painter Edouard Arthur (1917–2002), signed and dated 1946, depicts the banks of the Allondon, a picturesque river landscape in the Geneva countryside. The composition unfolds across a succession of broad planes, leading the eye from the lush vegetation and pale winding waters of the foreground toward cultivated fields, wooded hills and the distant mountain range. Arthur builds the landscape through simplified forms and a rich yet restrained palette of deep greens, blues, ochres and earthy tones, punctuated by luminous areas of white. The vigorous, textured brushwork and deliberate simplification of the landscape give the painting a distinctly modern character. Rather than seeking a purely descriptive representation, Arthur translates the Geneva countryside into an arrangement of color, rhythm and strongly defined masses. The dark blue band of the distant hills provides a striking contrast with the brighter foreground and contributes to the remarkable depth of the composition. Painted in 1946, the work belongs to an important period in Arthur's early career. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Genève records another work by the artist entitled L'Allondon, dated 1946/1948, demonstrating his particular interest in this landscape during these years. Born in Ennetbaden in 1917 and later established in the Geneva region, Edouard Arthur was a Swiss painter, draftsman and engraver whose oeuvre encompasses landscapes, figures and still lifes. His work combines careful observation of nature with an increasingly modern approach to color and pictorial construction. A beautiful example of mid-20th-century Swiss landscape painting, capturing both the character of the Geneva countryside and the evolution of Swiss painting toward a more modern, expressive language.

The Tree by the Lake, Värmland, By Racken Group Artist Ture Ander

By Ture Ander

Located in Stockholm, SE

This painting by Ture Ander, created in 1917, depicts a serene landscape from Värmland, Sweden. At the center of the composition is a large tree, likely a deciduous species, as suggested by the hints of autumn seen in both the tree and the meadow below it. The short brushstrokes used to depict the leaves and grass evoke a sense of movement and texture, typical of the early 20th-century artistic style. Another beautiful detail is the bluish-tinted forested mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Ture Ander played a significant role in the Racken group (Rackstadkolonin), an important artistic collective in Sweden at the time. Ander was born on September 17 in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice painter in Stockholm, attending evening classes at the Technical School (now known as Konstfack) while working during the day. He earned his journeyman’s certificate in 1902, and the following year, he graduated from the Technical School with the highest honors in painting. In 1905, he was accepted into the Konstnärsförbundets skola (School of the Artists' Association), where he studied alongside notable artists like Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...

Still Life with Mallard and Hare

Located in Paris, IDF

Louis Auguste SECOND, known as FEREOL (Amiens, 1795 - Orleans, 1870) Still Life with Mallard and Hare Oil on paper mounted on canvas Signed and dated at the bottom Exhibition labels in the upper left corner 37 x 27 cm 1854 Louis-Auguste Second, known under the name of Fereol, had an interesting multifaceted artistic career. He was born in an acting environment: himself the son of an actor, he was the cousin of Marie Dorval (the famous romantic actress who was Alfred de Vigny's mistress) and the nephew of Mademoiselle Mars. After having done the military school of Saint-Cyr, he became a second lieutenant in the young imperial guard and took part in the campaign of France in 1814. But he quickly reconverted in the spectacle and becomes in 1817 lyric singer (tenor) at the Opéra-Comique where he officiated until 1838, before exercising his talents at the Théâtre de la Renaissance. He is also a playwright (for example he wrote "Five Years of Intermission" in 1833). A fairly famous figure at the time, his miniature portrait by Paul Gomien was exhibited at the Salon of 1835. Painting is another of his activities, and not the least. A pupil of Xavier Leprince, he exhibited at the Salon in 1824, and this very regularly until 1848. In 1834, he exhibited no less than 7 paintings! These are essentially landscapes, of a fairly classic style, representing views of the North (Douai, Boulogne, etc.), Picardy (Amiens), Paris and its surroundings, Fontainebleau, and above all of Sologne and Orleans, city where he attended high school. At the Salon, he was domiciled in Paris at various addresses in the Batignolles district until 1835, then in Orleans from 1837. Widower in 1832 of his cousin Eugénie Boutet de Monvel whom he had married in 1822, he retired to his property of "L'ormette" in Saint-Denis en Val in the Loiret, before settling definitively in Orléans itself. in 1846. He leads a fairly active social life there (he had already founded the Musical Institute there, for example). His son Félix was born there in 1825, where he was a lawyer before embarking on a career as a doctor. A staunch Bonapartist, holder of the Saint Helena medal, he was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1862. His exaggerated patriotism manifested itself one last time when he committed suicide on September 5, 1870 after learning of the surrender of Sedan. He is the great-grandfather of the brothers Jacques and Pierre Brissaud, the famous painters and illustrators. Representative of the French tradition of hunting still lifes, this painting depicts a hanging...
