The Boramar. Oil On Panel. Collioure. Landscape

This painting is an oil on canvas, signed on the back by the artist, with the title "Houses at the port, in the center the bar 'La Coba'" and dated May 1954. The work represents a picturesque landscape of Collioure, a coastal town in the south of France, famous for its beauty and the attraction it has had and still has for painters. In the foreground, we can see colorful boats, typical of the region, arranged in front of emblematic houses that line the beach of Collioure, known as the fishermen's or Boramar beach. One of the houses in question housed the famous bar "La Coba", a popular place in the 1950s. A group of people is also represented near this house, suggesting a scene of lively life, typical of the gathering places of the time. The color palette of the work is soft and warm. The dominant tones range from brown to beige, with touches of ochre and pink that evoke the sunny atmosphere of the region. There is some texture to the touch. The painting is freshly framed in a dark brown “American box”. It measures 41.5 × 33.5 cm with the frame and 35 × 27 cm without the frame
