Forest Beautiful Breton Painting Animated Landscape Seaside Brittany Signed Art Deco

she oil on canvas signed Forest, dated 1930s, depicting a lively scene of rural life by the sea, most likely in Brittany. Figures in traditional costume move through a rocky and luminous landscape, facing the ocean.

The touch is energetic, with powerful flat tints made with a knife, reminiscent of the style of the painter Gustave Vidal: a dense, almost sculpted material, and a vibrant palette dominated by blues, ochres and off-whites. Painting of great vitality, typical of the Breton regionalist school of the early 20th century.
