[post-impressionism] Emile Mangenot - [oil On Canvas, Signed].

MANGENOT (Emile). [Oil on canvas, signed]. Dimensions: 402 x 325 mm + frame. Pretty composition signed E. [Emile] Mangenot (1910 - 1991) in the lower left margin. ''Landscapist, Emile Mangenot soberly describes views of France''. (in Bénézit). ''Water holds an essential place in his work. Attaching himself to the Post-Impressionists when he started out, he then managed to paint ''the soul of the landscape''. ''Mangenot is considered one of the best knife painters of his time, if not the best. His skilful and spare technique allows him to express the intense poetry emerging from his work, which is a hymn to nature''. Bénézit VII, Dictionary of Painters, p. 139. Very nice condition.
