Le Grain de Sable à Bonifacio, Corse, an oil painting on panel from 1930–1940 by Pierre Faget-Germain (France), sold with its frame.
Description from the seller
FAGET GERMAIN Pierre (1890-1961)
"Le Grain de Sable à Bonifacio, Corse"
Oil on panel,
Signed at the bottom left and at the bottom right in a rather illegible way,
Located on the back of the panel by the artist: "14 Bonifacio Corse".
Beautiful luminous work by painter Pierre Faget-Germain which depicts a view of Le Grain de Sable in Bonifacio, Corsica. The contrast of colors and the plays of light perfectly convey the maritime atmosphere of the place.
"Le Grain de Sable" owes its name to its shape. This gigantic block of limestone was naturally sculpted by erosion.
An artist mainly known for his Orientalist paintings, he studied at the Beaux-Arts and at the École des Arts Décoratifs of Bordeaux. After his marriage in 1929, he settled in Algiers. He worked with painters Léon Carré and Albert Marquet. He adopts a solid and sincere Post-Impressionist style.
Dimensions: 43 x 64 cm without frame and 52.5 x 73.5 cm with its modern wooden frame.
