Marius Gueit "boat On A Watercourse" Oil On Wood, Early 20th Century

In front of a small farmhouse, a boat tied up on the edge of a river, painted against the light, all the delicacy of the light captured by the softness of the painter's palette in a "square" composition. Recent frame of 39.5 x 37 cm, wooden panel of 32 x 30 cm Good condition Born in 1877 in Bordeaux. A student of Cabié and Camps, he first studied wall decoration. He quickly specialized in the landscape genre in which he would excel. Faithful to classical traditions, but attracted by impressionism, no one interpreted the charm of the Arcachon basin better than him. Its boats, its forests, its clearings make the atmosphere so special of these places. Laureate of the French artists where he exhibited since 1909. Founding member of the society of the Atelier and one of the vice presidents. Several paintings by Marius Gueit are in the Museum of Fine Arts of Bordeaux. Ref. AE
