Joseph INGUIMBERTY (1896–1971)
Professor of Decorative Arts at the Indochina School of Fine Arts.
Gathering under the trees.
Framed oil on canvas, signed lower left. Circa 1930.
Dimensions: 110x140 cm.
The theme of the ponds in the Tonkin Delta forms the backdrop to several paintings exhibited at the Galerie Charpentier, which the critic and geographer Pierre Gourou highlighted in his article in *Le Monde colonial illustré* in January 1937.
The pools are like splashes of colour that shift with the sky, ranging from muddy brown to pale yellow – a backdrop serving as a pretext to highlight the models who posed for Inguimberty.
In his article, Pierre Gourou also emphasises the care, indeed the very love, with which the painter observes the people and things he chooses to depict.
It is this gentleness that continues to captivate us.
