Marseille, Pierre Favre 1906-1983

"Marseille" by Pierre Favre (1906-1983) Oil on canvas Signed lower right Dimensions: 55 x 45 cm (excluding frame) With vivacity and lightness, Pierre Favre offers us a bird's-eye view of the port of Marseille under a bright sun. A palette of warm colors with a few touches of red and blue. A few strollers have dared to take a few steps in the sweltering heat. Born in Paris in 1906, Pierre Favre adopted the south of France after studying at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. A painter of landscapes and portraits, he exhibited in numerous galleries. In 1931 he became a member of the Société Artistique de l'Hérault and in 1938 of the Société des Artistes Indépendants.
