Jean Dorville : "the Fortifications Of Concarneau"

Noël Louis Jean Dorville (1901-1986): “Sailboat stranded at low tide in Concarneau”, large watercolor gouache 49 X 35 cm on sheet 64 X 50 cm, mounted in a large silver frame and molded Art-Déco 73 X 58 cm. Signed and dated 1935, small stains in between and slight oxidation of the white gouache. A few years earlier, in 1927, he published a collection of poems illustrated with cubist drawings prefaced by Max Jacob, excuse the little! The artist gives us here a characteristic view of a symbolic place in Finistère: the fortifications of Concarneau in front of which a sailing fishing boat is beached at low tide.
