DETAILS
Original oil on original panel, signed lower left.
Very pretty bucolic landscape at the end of the day with its cottage located at the edge of a watercourse itself bordered by flowering plants and probable poplars, all against a wooded and perhaps hilly background. Dusk descends gently on the plain, darkening the forest and leaving behind the sky ablaze with bright colors, creating a powerful contrast; the lighting effect is very successful. A work probably produced between the end of the 1940s and the 1950s as can be seen from the pictorial style of the artist at that time as well as his signature which is among the first signatures he used, particularly when he resided at 1 Place de la Porte de Châtillon in Paris 14th.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born July 20, 1919 in Bonneville in Haute-Savoie, painter mainly known for his landscapes and seascapes, Gabriel DESCHAMPS studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, first in 1939-1940 then with Eugène NARBONNE (1885-1973), French painter and illustrator and Professor/Head of the painting workshop at the School between 1939 and 1955.
His works are figurative and very personal; his goal was to “recreate nature without being a victim of it.” He painted numerous scenes from the South of France, traveling through the Provençal countryside and the Mediterranean coast (he had a house in Provence) as well as Brittany and Normandy.
He exhibited in Paris from 1944 at the Salon d'Automne of which he became a member, at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in 1953 and 1954, at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1960 to 1964 as well as at the Salon "Compariisons" from 1962 to 1968 (Old sheet of private exhibitions, group of exhibitions, fairs, awards and official acquisitions of the artist, available on request).
Gabriel DESCHAMPS' paintings were sold to numerous collectors in the United Kingdom during his life and his works are also represented in important private collections notably in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Switzerland as well as in Belgium. The artist died in 2011.
