Painting By André Salomon Known As Salomon Le Tropézien Depicting A Square In Saint-tropez

Painting representing a painting of the famous Place aux Herbes in the mythical village of Saint-Tropez in France. A place that this painter particularly liked to study for its particular architecture, its warm colors and its merchants, thus never offering him the same painting.
André Salomon known as SALOMON LE TROPEZIEN was born in 1900 in Saint Petersburg, Russia and died in the second half of the 20th century. He arrived in Paris in the early 1920s, where he began to paint. He then joined the Ecole de Paris movement, which brought together many foreign artists who came to settle in the French capital. Salomon le Tropézien settled in Saint-Tropez in the 1950s, where he spent the rest of his life. He regularly exhibited his works in local galleries and even had a room dedicated to him in the Musée de l'Annonciade. The Musée de l'Annonciade, created in 1922, recalls that the city of Saint-Tropez was one of the most active centers of the pictorial avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to Paul Signac. Salomon le Tropézien is a self-taught painter. He stands out for his work with oil painting that he works with knives. He captures better than anyone the colors and lights sublimating the natural beauty of Saint-Tropez. The themes of the Mediterranean landscape occupy the majority of his work. He was also known for exchanging, with some large families from Saint-Tropez, his paintings for food or a little money. Painting signed "A. Salomon le Tropézien" bottom left.
