Description
STUNNING PAINTING “LE RAVIN DE LA FOLIE, CROZANT” by Armand GUILLAUMIN (1841–1927) Framed oil on canvas, signed lower left. Painted around 1910 Included is the certificate from the Guillaumin Committee dated 3 December 2023, housed in the committee’s black cardboard sleeve, along with a greeting card for the year 2024. Provenance: Private Collection Dimensions: 73 x 92 cm Good condition In the early 1870s, he painted in Pontoise with Pissarro. It was there that he developed his taste for landscape painting. He produced his first etching at Dr Gachet’s house in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1872. Guillaumin would produce seventeen such etchings throughout his life, as well as a few colour lithographs. Joined by Cézanne, they painted on the banks of the Seine around 1873. Armand Guillaumin painted views of the banks of the Seine, particularly of Ivry-sur-Seine, Clamart and Charenton, as well as landscapes of Épinay-sur-Orge in the southern suburbs of Paris. These views bear witness to the artist’s strong preference for water, a motif that was to become one of his favourite subjects. At this time, Guillaumin was already using a palette of fairly vivid colours. Armand Guillaumin remained loyal to the Impressionist group. He took part in six of the eight exhibitions organised by the Impressionist painters. In particular, he took part in the First Exhibition of the Impressionist Painters in 1874 and the last one in 1886. A friend of Cézanne, he was also close to Van Gogh, who appreciated Guillaumin’s talent as a colourist and his palette of vivid colours. From 1893 onwards, he regularly rented a house in Crozant, where he mingled with the painters of the Crozant School, near Fresselines, where the poet Maurice Rollinat lived. Drawing and painting from life, he was always drawn to water. From the banks of the Creuse, he observed the bustle of the river, the bridges and the Chamil. Armand Guillaumin also undertook numerous trips to Auvergne and brought back many landscape paintings, in particular views of Pontgibaud, Saint-Sauves and Saint-Julien-des-Chazes.
