About the Item

Maurice Asselin (1882-1947) A Countryside landscape signed lower right watercolor and ink on paper 18 x 28.5 cm Framed : 35 x 40.5 cm On the back of the frame is an exhibition label reading “Exposition d'art contemporain français au japon” (Exhibition of Contemporary French Art in Japan) Maurice Asselin’s style in watercolor was quite different from that in his oil paintings. This is clearly evident here: he paints with lightness and subtlety, and what is also striking is the modernity of this composition. It is, of course, very interesting to find on the reverse side this label from an exhibition in Japan, which attests to the significance Maurice Asselin held in his time. Maurice Asselin (1882–1947) He was a french painter, watercolourist and printmaker born in Orléans, trained under Fernand Cormon at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Associated with the School of Paris, he was best known for still lifes, nudes, and Breton landscapes He painted in a restrained, sober palette influenced by Cézanne. A close friend of Walter Sickert in London (1914–16) and of writer Pierre Mac Orlan, he was commissioned as a war artist for the Musée de l’Armée in 1917 and made Officier de la Légion d’honneur in 1939. He died in Paris in 1947.

No combination of minds, no theory, can give birth to a work of art...”. Art springs from a sense of wonder and love for life.”
