Beachfront At Moret-sur-loing By Michel Devismes, 20th Century

Oil on canvas depicting bathers on the beach at Moret-sur-Loing. While Moret-sur-Loing is known for its many barges, numerous artists from all over the world come to set up their easels there, and this artist wanted to immortalize this scene of everyday life among bathers from the 1950s and 60s. Michel Devismes is a figurative painter highly regarded for his ability to capture scenes of life with finesse and light. He belongs to the tradition of 20th-century post-Impressionist and classical figurative painting, often associated with the School of Paris or the Modern French School. Beach Scenes and Seascapes: He is very well known for his depictions of lively beaches, harbors, and seascapes, often painted with soft light and a serene atmosphere. He has also painted views of Paris (the banks of the Seine, bustling streets) and other cities. His paintings are characterized by a delicate use of color and an emphasis on capturing atmosphere and light. He is sometimes confused with Paul Devismes (1876-1941), who also painted similar seascapes and beach scenes, but in an earlier period. Signed lower right, dated 1959. Frame dimensions: 73 x 58 cm.
