Robert Antoine Pinchon Art

French, 1886-1943
Robert Antoine Pinchon was a French painter born in Rouen on 1 July 1886, and one of the most distinctive voices of early 20th-century Normandy. Celebrated above all for his landscapes, river views, townscapes, and the changing skies of the Seine valley, Pinchon developed a vividly personal language rooted in direct observation and an instinctive, highly refined sense of colour. From a young age he embraced a bold, Fauve-inflected palette, yet he remained faithful to his own course and, unlike several of his contemporaries, did not move into Cubism. His art is consistently driven by light: shifting atmospheres, flashes of brightness on stone and water, and the heightened colour sensations of autumn and dusk. Pinchon’s most important works include a sustained series devoted to the Seine, often around Rouen, alongside numerous views of Haute-Normandie in which the landscape becomes a stage for chromatic experimentation. His paint handling, both energetic and controlled, allowed him to convey movement and weather with remarkable immediacy while maintaining a strong sense of structure. Claude Monet is said to have admired him as “an astonishing hand in the service of a surprising eye,” a remark that neatly captures the balance in Pinchon’s work between spontaneity and precision. Beyond his studio practice, Pinchon was an active cultural figure in Rouen’s artistic life. He was elected to the Académie de Rouen in 1932 and later became its President in 1941, recognition of his standing within the region. His life was also marked by the upheavals of his time: mobilised during the First World War, he was wounded at Berry-au-Bac during the Battle of the Marne and later taken prisoner in the course of the fighting around Verdun. Pinchon died on 9 January 1943 in Bois-Guillaume, near Rouen. Today, he is widely regarded as a leading Norman colourist of his generation, an artist who translated familiar places into radiant, ever-changing impressions, and whose rare figure studies offer a particularly intimate counterpoint to a body of work dominated by landscape and light.

Located in Surfside, FL

Ozer Shabat 1978-1901 Ozer Shabbat was an Israeli painter, a resident of Haifa. Belonged to the Palestine Expressionist group of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Shabbat was born in Wolbrom, Poland. At the end of the First World War he went to Holland for agricultural training in the framework of the HeChalutz movement, prior to his immigration to Palestine. In 1920 he immigrated to Eretz Israel and joined the Hulda group. Later he joined the Merhavia group and there he began painting. Because of his desire to study drawing, he left the group and moved to Jerusalem. In 1921, he wrote articles in the newspaper "HaSadeh" on the subject of agriculture and Dutch cheese. Ozer Shabath won the first prize in a competition for the design of the Dutch Consulate's Garden in Jerusalem, enabling him to travel to Paris in 1923 to study painting. Until 1925 he studied painting at the Grande Chaumiere Academy in Paris. This year he returned to Eretz Israel and settled in Haifa, where he lived until his death. In 1928 he participated for the first time in an exhibition of Eretz Israel artists at the Tower of David. Since then he has participated in all the general exhibitions of Israeli artists. In 1934, together with painters Menachem Shemi, Avraham Mohar, Zvi Meirovitch and others, he founded the Haifa Artists' Group. In 1935-36 he toured Europe and visited Italy, France and England. During his visit, he maintained contacts with artists from the Jewish school of Paris. He has exhibited in several solo exhibitions, represented Israel in exhibitions in Europe and participated in international exhibitions in New York, Johannesburg and Zurich. In 1958 he represented Israel in the Venice Biennale. In 1960, Shabat, together with Elchanan Halpern he represented the Israeli Painters Association at the International Congress of Plastic Arts held in Vienna, Austria . In the 40s and 50s he focused on landscape pictures. However, despite the focus on the Israeli landscape, the approach is universal in the framework of the post-Impressionist painting school. In the 1960s, his approach changed and he turned more to abstraction. The abstract direction gradually evolved. The point of departure of the abstract approach is the architectural landscape, but this view loses its real character and becomes only imaginary: the buildings lose their real character and turn into exclusive geometric areas that are usually set against a dark background. Over time, architecture captured the lion's share of his paintings. Cities like Safed, Jaffa and Jerusalem are the subject of many pictures. He taught painting and art at the schools of the kibbutzim in Ramat Yochanan and Kfar Yehoshua, in high schools in Haifa and in the IDF and Gordon seminars. His paintings were purchased and are in the permanent collection of the Bezalel National Museum (now the Israel Museum), Haifa Museum of Art, Haifa Maritime Museum, Acre Municipal Museum. Select Solo exhibitions 1936 - Nadler Gallery, Haifa. 1943 - The Tel Aviv Museum of Art. 1952 - Artists House, Haifa. 1953 - Bezalel House, Jerusalem. 1955 - Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland. 1955 - The Writers' Club, Haifa. 1959 - Artists House, Haifa. 1960 - Museum of Modern Art, Haifa. 1962 - Museum of Modern Art, Haifa. 1963 - Gallery 220, Tel Aviv. 1968 - The Municipal Museum of Beit Emanuel, Ramat Gan. 1979 - Memorial exhibition marking the first anniversary...
