Oil On Panel, Poignant Lucien Sign, Mountainous Landscape, Art Deco Vanoise Massif

Superb painting by Lucien Poignant (1905-1988) depicting the Grande Casse and the Grande Motte seen from Pralognan, in the Vanoise massif.
Produced around 1930, this work captures with great intensity the mineral and icy beauty of the Savoyard peaks.
The composition highlights the steep ridges and the changing light of the Alps, treated in a thick and nervous paste, with bluish, gray and pinkish tones, typical of the artist's mountain painting.
The work is painted on a wooden panel, a support that Poignant favored for its solid and matte finish.
Has its original frame.
On the back, there is a handwritten inscription stating: "Purchased in Flaine in August 1937 - The Grande Casse and the Grande Motte seen from Pralognan", as well as the stamp of the artist's studio, guaranteeing its authenticity.
This painting is a very fine example of Lucien Poignant's sensitive yet structured view of Alpine landscapes, combining geological rigor and pictorial emotion.

Lucien Poignant (1905-1988), French painter and decorator, distinguished himself with his depictions of the Alpine massifs, particularly Mont Blanc and Vanoise. A student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he worked for mountain resorts from the 1930s to the 1960s and exhibited regularly in France. His work, marked by a vigorous touch and a keen sense of volume, bears witness to his deep admiration for the mountains and the light of high altitudes.
