Hubert Aicardi (1922-1991), The Buoys At Sea, Oil On Panel Signed On The Right, Framed

Hubert Aicardi is a painter of the Provençal school born in Marseille in 1922. He frequented “the painters of Péano” named after the café on rue Fortia where the post-war Provençal masters Pierre Ambrogiani (1907-1985), F. Diana, Eugène Baboulène (1905-1994) and many others met. Anchored in Provence, Hubert Aicardi produced views of the rocky landscapes and seasides of his native region that broke with the classic representations of the beginning of the century. He is also the author of several illustrations including that of L'Anneau des mers by Edouard Peisson published in 1952 by Flammarion. Since the 1970s, the Galerie Jouvène (Marseille) has devoted several monographic exhibitions to him.
