"Elie Henri Dumont : "edge Of A Pond In The Landes""
Elie Henri Dumont (XIX/XXth): "Edge of a pond in the Landes", oil on canvas 73 X 100 cm, circa 1910/20, accidents and restorations, cracks on the whole painting. I have chosen to deliver this large painting to you as I found it, in its original state, but whose brilliance and luminosity of the composition suggest what it will look like once prepared. The palette mixing bronze green with veronese, the multiple shades of the sky composed of small melted multicolored touches, and this gap between the pines overlooking the calm expanse will seduce lovers of the Landes. If we don't find much on this Bordeaux artist, he is reminiscent of another Girondin by the slightly divisionist touch and the palette: Pierre Gaston Rigaud.
