Antibes By Georges Roubaudo Large Format

Large oil on canvas by Georges Roubaudo representing the ramparts of Antibes oil on canvas signed lower left, Georges ROUBAUDO (1898-1999) was born in Antibes. It is this city, its ramparts, this enclosed place dominated by the mountain that will be one of his main sources of inspiration. He will draw from it above all this natural way of associating and assembling his subjects in paintings with tight framing. He will sometimes combine this type of construction with plunging views that will increase the effects of accumulation. His appointment as an expert with the cultural mission led him to spend two years in Vietnam from where he brought back a good number of souvenirs, thus marking a turning point in his pictorial work. He will nevertheless remain faithful to his region, returning to paint his hometown and its surroundings, Nice, Cannes, Villefranche.
