Description from the seller
Oil on canvas titled "Ponton et marée basse" and signed
Robert DELVAL (1934-2024)
Birth: 1934, rue des Saules in Paris, in the Montmartre district.
Family background: His mother colored postcards; his father was an artisan-marbler. He grew up surrounded by colors ("surrounded by pots of color").
Artistic youth: He began painting and drawing at the age of six. He moved toward the Arts Déco around 1952-1955.
Travel and training: From 1959 to 1963, Delval traveled through Italy, Spain, Greece, and France, which influenced his artistic outlook. He spent a lot of time on the Côte d’Azur and in Saint-Tropez.
Early career and exhibitions: In 1970, he met André Roussard, a framer/gallerist in Montmartre, who became his first dealer. From this first major exhibition under his patronage, his works sold well.
Style and influences: Influenced by Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard. He uses color expressively, flat fields, luminous compositions, sometimes a dreamy, illusory gaze. His themes include Montmartre, ports, flowers, nudes, and landscapes.
Exhibitions: Between 1970 and 1993, he exhibited in France and abroad (United States, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Germany).
After 1994, he was represented by Galerie de la Place (17 place des Vosges in Paris) and then by other galleries, with permanent sales of his works via Galerie Estades, etc.
Recognitions: He received the Fernand Cormon Prize in 2010.
The work is dated, titled, and countersigned on the back of the canvas and signed at the bottom right.
