Martiques - Henri Olive
Painter Henri Olive (1889-1980) was a French artist best known for his scenes of the Cote d’Azure. This oil on board, signed lower right, boasts a completely unique and decidedly elaborate original frame. He was prolific between 1930 to 1940, then again after the end of WWII until 1950. Also known as Olive des Martigues, the painter is immediately recognizable due to his heavy impasto texturing combined with the color - this one is more subdued. And here we have one actually from Matigues! It's perspective of a small boat on calm, glistening water transports us to the special vibe of the French Riveria. His work is highly collectable!
Measurements with frame 26”x20.5”, without frame 20.5”X14.5”.
Condition: Very Good.
