Charles De Gastyne Orientalist Gouache Drawing Oran Canastel The Beach Foam Wave
Artist: Charles De Gastyne
Original gouache by Charles de Gastynie, an artist active in the 1930s, depicting an Orientalist scene: a wave crashing violently onto rocks, splashing the sky in a white burst.
The whole captures the movement of the sea with vigor and spontaneity, in a style that is both expressive and controlled.
The brushstroke is lively, free, and recalls outdoor studies made on the motif, with a technique mixing impasto of white gouache for the foam and more transparent washes for the skies and waves.
The work is: signed lower left: "Ch. de Gastynie 1937" dedicated to an acquaintance: "to Mr. Grenier with all my faithful friendship" annotated lower right: "Canastel 1937" (Oran)
