"Edouard Crémieux (1856-1944) "view Of Vistale, Piana Corsica April 1923" Marseillaise School, Mar"
New very beautiful painting by Edouard Crémieux, this time an oil/panel representing a Corsican landscape, Vistale in Piana on April 18, 1923, signed, located and dated and lower right + countersigned, located and dated on the back + stamp of the workshop sale of June 26, 1983 at Maître Gamet in Cassis. Format of the painting alone without frame 27x30cm It is therefore a new post-impressionist composition by Edouard Crémieux, after Marseille for the 2 previous paintings that I sold, this Corsica, new proof that like all Marseillais who respects himself, Crémieux also went to paint there; here is a superb view from Vistale to Piana, with its famous red rocks. As usual, Crémieux uses a very impressionist touch and, as is often the case, a very subtle palette, here very warm thanks to tones of orange, ocher, red, purple, but also blues and greens. A very very beautiful painting by one of the best Marseille painters of the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, alongside Olive, Gaussen, Verdilhan, Seyssaud, etc...
