Description from the seller
VIDAL Gustave (1895 - 1966)
"Le Moulin de Daudet à Fontvieille"
Gouache on brown paper,
Signed, dated and located bottom left,
Beautiful work by the Avignon-born painter Gustave Vidal, which depicts an animated view of the Daudet Mill at Fontvieille in the Alpilles National Park. The artist has managed to faithfully capture the light of a winter day in Provence with a milky sky. Built in 1814 to grind wheat, the Ribet mill by its real name ceased functioning in 1915.
In 1935, the association of the "Friends of Alphonse Daudet" decided to restore it and at the same time create a museum dedicated to the author of Lettres de mon Moulin."
He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon under the direction of painter Pierre Grivolas, who encouraged his students, including Gustave Vidal, to go painting outdoors. He would be influenced by the new Avignon school and the abstract painters.
His style, distinctive, blends knife-work with painterly stylization. He received numerous awards from the outset of his career and exhibited around the world.
Dimensions: 24.5 x 31 cm sight size without frame and 35.5 x 43.5 cm with its original gold-painted wooden frame.
