VIDAL Gustave (1895–1966)

"Path Along the Étang de Berre"

Oil on panel,
Signed lower right,
Titled on the back by the artist: "Landscape of Provence - Shores of the Étang de Berre"

A beautiful work by the painter Gustave Vidal depicting a path with a figure on the shores of the Étang de Berre, most likely in Istres, where the artist liked to set up his easel to paint this view. 
In the foreground, we see a figure on a path surrounded by the symbols of Provence: olive trees and cypresses. The middle ground offers a view of the Étang de Berre.
The artist perfectly captured the various shades of color and the play of light on a day in Provence. 

He studied at the Avignon School of Fine Arts under the guidance of painter Pierre Grivolas, who encouraged his students—including Gustave Vidal—to paint outdoors. He was influenced by the New School of Avignon and abstract painters.
His distinctive style blends the palette knife technique with pictorial stylization.
He received numerous awards early in his career and has exhibited around the world.
