Dated August 1957, this oil on canvas is representativeof Michel Turas’s (1894–1979) landscape work. Trained at theof Fine Arts in Kaunas (Lithuania) before continuing his artistic careerin Paris, where he frequented the artistic circles of Montmartre and the Grande Chaumière,the artist later settled in Abbans-Dessus, in Franche-Comté. He createdthe murals in the birthplace of Saint Joseph Marchand in Passavantand found a constant source of inspiration in the Loue and Doubs valleys. This landscape of rushing waters among limestone rocks, likely painted en plein air, belongs to the period when he exhibited in Besançon (the 1950s through the 1970s). It reveals a highly personal style: a generous texturebuilt up with a fragmented, grainy brushstroke, a refined palette ofgreens, blues, and purples, and a vibrant light, drawing on thePost-Impressionist tradition, all in the service of a highly sensitive interpretation of the subject.
