Jean Hugo

French, 1894-1984

Jean Hugo was a French painter, illustrator and theater designer, born in 1894, in Paris, France. He was in the thick of the Paris art scene, between the wars. A member of the avant garde art movement, he was a friend of Picasso, Cocteau and Colette and was associated with the Neo Romantics. His small gouaches on paper were avidly collected by Dr. Albert Barnes and are exhibited in the Barnes Collection, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Hugo's most desirable works, such as landscapes, interior scenes and set designs, date from the mid-1920s to the late-1930s. He is predominantly known for his sketches and oil or gouache paintings, which are often executed in small formats. He has also illustrated books, designed theater sets and costumes and produced ceramics, murals, textile designs and stained glass windows.

Oil Painting from 1937 Harbor View by Carles Bisschops, Oil on Panel
Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
Beautiful and vivid painting, oil paint on panel. The painting shows a picturesque harbor on the French Mediterranean. This work is by the Flemish painter Charles-Louis Bisschops (Liège, April 25, 1894 - Rossignol, 1975). The painting has a somewhat impressionistic touch and a beautiful use of color. The blue color of the water contrasts nicely with the shady buildings. The painting is framed in a classic wooden gilded frame. On the back of the painting is an old label stating that the painting was painted in the French port of Ferrier (near Marseille on the Mediterranean). The painting is clearly signed and dated 1937. Charles Bisschops has his own Wikipedia page, information about this: Charles Bisschops was a Belgian painter, graphic artist and draftsman. He was a student at the Academy of Brussels from 1912 to 1919. The main professors were Jean Delville and Constant Montald.
