About the Item
'Women in Deckchairs', oil on canvas, by Camille Hilaire (circa 1960s). Folding wooden chairs with woven or cane seats and backs, of the type now known in the UK as "steamer chairs", began to be used on ocean liner decks in the 1900s and were known at the time as "deck chairs". But in this vibrant depiction of two bathers, the seated subjects are instead, enjoying the sun and ambiance of one of the private beaches which dot the coastline of the French Riviera. Private beaches are a common sight along France's coastlines and can be easily spotted by the mass of brightly coloured umbrellas and deck chairs dotting the waterfront. The artist here masterfully uses the colours of his oils to project the warmth of the Riviera sun onto the viewer. The cubist lines painted by the artist mimic the sun's rays as they cast their shadows onto the subjects. The artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed. It is signed by the artist in the lower right hand. Upon request a video of the artwork may be provided. The authenticity of this artwork has been confirmed by the Committee Camille Hilair (L'authenticité de cette oeuvre a été confirmée par le Comité Camille Hilaire.)
About the Artist: Camille HILAIRE (1916-2004) was a French painter and weaver from Metz in Eastern France. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was also tutored by André Lhote. Camille Hilaire is subtle in his composition. He did away with efficient structures, he held power with colour and achieved a wonderful, consistent sense of calm, amplitude and greatness by translating patterns and elements, which never prevented him from expressing a burning passion for creating and sharing. His nudes were remarkable, with perfect curves, coiled with charm and set in a context in which their sensual fullness imposed itself with provocative grace. As for his landscapes, Camille Hilaire could determine the structure without apparent constraints, overlaying a fresh, spicy green that is so characteristic of them. Thus, nature and elements they become the pretext upon which the artist "pushed" the colour to get the effect felt. Over time, a dozen monographs have been devoted to him as well as documentaries and films. He leaves behind a large body of work who strongly influenced the French painters of the mid-twentieth century.

- Lunch at Chez LouisBy Roland DubucLocated in London, GB'Lunch at Chez Louis', oil on canvas, by Roland Dubuc (circa 1970s). The outdoor terrace at restaurants and cafés in France goes back centuries as they have always been a gathering place for intellectuals to meet and debate philosophical issues; for the Avant Garde set to display their works; for artists to compare and exchange ideas and for writers to drown their sorrows over their artistic anguish or melancholy. Even the freedom fighters of the French Revolution and later the French Resistance would meet in cafés to plot their course. Regular people of course also enjoy these venues. A very delightful feature of these French institutions is that there is always room for quiet book readers, romantic couples, business meetings and lively groups of friends sharing a bottle of wine. The artist Dubuc captures a slice of this lovely aspect of French culture in this smile-inducing depiction painted in vivid oils. With a background of greenery, the patrons enjoy the outdoors protected from the intense sun by the table's parasols. Ah, the life. The artwork is in good vintage condition, is framed and signed by the artist in the lower left hand corner. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...Category
