Description from the seller
No. 3: a work by the painter René Sautin (1881–1968), a renowned French landscape painter associated with the Rouen School (Normandy), painted in oil on canvas board and in good condition.
The work is sold without a frame.
Biography and Artistic CareerTraining: Born in Montfort-sur-Risle, he first studied at the Rouen School of Fine Arts and later in Paris at the Ferrier studio, where he received valuable advice from the Impressionist master Albert Lebourg. Ties to Normandy: In 1911, he settled permanently in Les Andelys. The vast majority of his paintings depict the Seine, Norman villages, and the surrounding countryside. The war years: On June 8, 1940, bombing destroyed much of Les Andelys. Sautin visually documented the destruction of his beloved town in a celebrated series of watercolors.Pictorial StyleFrom Impressionism to Fauvism: Initially influenced by Impressionism, around 1923 Sautin radically changed his style, moving toward a calm, considered form of Fauvism. His technique: He maintained that painting meant “applying the paint, not rubbing it in.” His works are characterized by a generous use of full-bodied color (thick impasto brushstrokes), pronounced outlines, and vivid, luminous hues. In the last years of his life, as his eyesight gradually deteriorated, he further intensified the vibrancy of his colors.
