Andre Barbier : "the Mist"

André Barbier (1883-1970): "The Mist", oil on canvas 54 X 65 cm, presented in a beautiful RG gilded frame in the Regency style 74 X 84 cm. The Artist, influenced by his friend Claude Monet, shows an intimate understanding of the subtleties of Impressionism and his personal sensitivity to the endless play of light in the variation of its vibrations and iridescence according to the time, the atmosphere, the seasons and the places. I could not say it better than the Bénézit! Our painting is a remarkable example where this church emerges gently from a mist rising from the river below, probably the Seine that he often painted. The touch is broad and suggestive for the plants in the foreground and dilutes into transparent glazes revealing the canvas to describe the mist...
