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.to

Sitges Spain oil on canvas painting mediterranean art spanish seascape
By Rafael Durancamps
Located in Sitges, Barcelona
Title: Sitges
Artist: Rafael Durancamps i Folguera (1891–1979)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 38 x 61 cm (14.96 x 24.01 in)
Support: Canvas stretched over wooden stretcher
Framing: Unframed
Signature: Signed lower left: Durancamps
Period: 1960s (estimated based on style, technique, and materials)
Work Description
The painting Sitges depicts an evocative scene of the iconic Catalan coastal town. At the center stands the unmistakable silhouette of the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, surrounded by cascading white houses that descend toward the shore. A solitary fisherman in the foreground casts his rod from the sand, adding a human and melancholic dimension to the landscape.
The composition reflects Rafael Durancamps’s mastery in atmospheric construction: the balance between sky, architecture, and figure is achieved through loose yet controlled brushstrokes, and a sober palette dominated by earthy tones, ochres, blues, and greys. The scene conveys stillness, everyday life, and a sense of belonging to the landscape—recurring qualities in the artist’s work.
Artist Biography: Rafael Durancamps i Folguera (1891–1979)
Born in Sabadell, Rafael Durancamps was one of the leading Catalan figurative painters of the 20th century. Initially trained under Joan Vila Cinca and a friend of Joaquim Mir, he chose a personal path that distanced him from avant-garde movements. In 1926, he moved to Paris, where he founded La Fenêtre Ouverte gallery, bringing together artists such as Salvador Dalí, André Derain, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso.
After permanently returning to Barcelona in 1939, he exhibited regularly at Sala Parés and established a distinctive style rooted in lyrical light, intimate observation of everyday life, and a refined technique—particularly in still lifes, landscapes, and solitary figures.
His work is held in major collections, including the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Montserrat Museum, the Sabadell Art Museum, and the BBVA Collection.
Comparable Artists
Rafael Durancamps can be linked stylistically or spiritually to several major names in modern figurative art:
Joaquim Mir – for his lyrical treatment of the Catalan landscape and vibrant light
Santiago Rusiñol – for his poetic approach to architecture and the Mediterranean environment
Maurice Utrillo – in his sober and nostalgic depictions of towns and vernacular architecture
Edward Hopper – for the silent presence of solitary figures in open spaces
