Fernand Herbo (1905-1995) - A Lively Sea Of Sailboats, Watercolor

Elegant watercolor by Fernand Herbo (1905-1995) depicting a bustling navy of sailboats at anchor, treated with great freedom of execution.

The artist aptly captures the atmosphere of a harbor, where slender masts, supple sails and shifting reflections on the water compose a lively, luminous scene. The brushstrokes, at once rapid and masterful, lend the whole a sense of spontaneity very characteristic of his work.

The palette, subtly shaded with watery greens, bluish grays and warm tones, reinforces this feeling of a moment caught on the spot, in a spirit akin to late Impressionism.

Artist regularly featured at public auctions, Fernand Herbo is appreciated for his decorative seascapes, both accessible and sensitive.
