Henri Clamen
1930's French Barbizon School View of a Chateau in a Park Landscape

About the Item

French Barbizon School watercolour on paper view of a chateau in a park by Henri Clamen. The painting is not signed but was acquired from the artist's atelier with other signed paintings. A charming view of an imposing chateau sitting in the sunshine. On its facade a wisteria climbs. Leading out from the front door a long terraces leads away to a set of stone steps which descend to another grass terrace and in front of that a golden field of corn. To the side a long 'allée' of poplar trees and beneath them we can just see the edge of a formal 'parterre' garden. Clamen's light, free, impressionist style and his use of colour gives a vivacity, freshness and movement to the composition. A little jewel of a painting.

    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Early 1960s work on paper of a group of trees at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England, by Alban Atkins. Signed bottom left, titled and dated to the reverse. There is also a collection or accession number to the backboard.

  • Trees in a Landscape French Country Landscape
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
