Emile Prodhon (1881-1974) "countryside Landscape" Lagny Sur Marne, Gausson, Signac Ladureau, Luce

Very nice painting by Emile Prodhon representing a countryside landscape, signed lower left. Size of the painting alone without frame 46x55cm This is therefore a very beautiful post-impressionist composition by Emile Prodhon who paints here a countryside landscape with a house near a stream, probably in the surroundings of Lagny sur Marne or Fontainebleau. As usual we immediately recognize the touch and palette typical of Prodhon, with a great richness of tones, his sky is sublime, in short a painting worthy of the best painters of his generation and his entourage. Émile Prodhon, born September 17, 1881 in Paris 10th arrondissement and died September 20, 1974 in Thorigny-sur-Marne, is a painter From a young age, he is attracted to painting and shows a certain talent as proven by these first paintings. He entered the Cours Germain Pilon, the future School of Applied Arts in Paris, then he was an apprentice in a wallpaper workshop where he could express his style. He began his career by drawing flowers. However, he did not neglect pointillism, most certainly following the visit of Paul Signac. He was part of the closed circle of Émile-Gustave Cavallo-Péduzzi and Léo Gausson. He married in 1905 and from this union an only daughter was born. In 1923, he moved to live in Thorigny-sur-Marne where he was a municipal councilor from 1929 to 1944, then director of the Union des Beaux-Arts de Lagny in 1947, a position he kept until his death in 1974.
