Robert Delval (1934-2015) - The Oise Valley - Vauréal (val-d'oise)

Oil on canvas signed lower right by Robert DELVAL (1934-2015)

In this remarkable view of Vauréal, Robert Delval delivers a sensitive, luminous interpretation of the Oise valley.

The contrasts between the dark masses of trees, the colorful roofs and the clear reflections of the Oise give the whole a remarkable depth and intensity. This approach, characteristic of Robert Delval, is part of the great tradition of French colorist painters of the XXᵉ century.

Robert Delval was born in Paris, rue des Saules. He is a true Montmartre native, whose mother colored postcards.
He finds his stylistic impulses in Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse, but quickly moves away from them to harmonize his palette and develop his own sense of space.
Many exhibitions are devoted to him, both in France and Europe, but also in the United States and Canada.
