1880 – 1968
Adolphe Keller was born in Brussels in 1880, and as a young boy showed a precocious talent for the arts. Keller was enrolled at the prestigious Brussels Academy, where, under the direction of Pieter-Jan Braecke, he was schooled in oil painting. The greatest influence on Keller came from his subsequent teacher at the Academy of Sint-Joost-ten-Node, Henri Ottevaere, who instilled within him a love of Impressionism. Upon graduating, Keller settled in the seaside town of Nieuport and established a studio. Keller was soon gaining a reputation as a painter and was beginning to exhibit his work at many of Belgium’s premier art institutions. Much of Keller’s work from this period consisted of landscapes and coastal views, although he did paint the occasional still-life and figurative piece. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Keller moved to southern France, settling in Saint Tropez. Keller was to reside here until 1946, and it is paintings from this period that are the most common. Keller rarely matched the intensity of his earlier paintings, the French scenes being rather more thinly painted and slightly more monochromatic. Returning eventually to Belgium, Keller bought a house in the Rouge-Cloitre area of Brussels and started painting mostly wooded scenes, views in the Foret de Soignes. By this time, Keller had turned his attention to teaching and was made President of the influential Cercle Alfred Bastien. After he died in 1968, several important retrospective exhibitions were mounted, including ones in 1974 and 1980 at the Centre Culturel d’Auderghem. Paintings by Keller are included in several public collections, including the museums of Ixelles and Auderghem in Belgium.

Frame size 21.1 inches x 24.6 inches ( 53.5cm x 62.5cm ). Available for sale; this original oil painting is by the Flanders artist Henri Joseph Pauwels and is dated 1966. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary replacement frame (which is shown in these photographs). The painted surface is entirely in its original untouched condition. No restoration, cleaning or conservation has been performed on the artwork. This vintage painting is in a good sound decorative condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed and dated lower left. Previously with Galerie Jean-Marr, Le Havre, France. Henri Joseph Pauwels was a notable twentieth century Flemish painter, rooted in Impressionist traditions. He was born on 16 December 1903 in Sleidinge near Antwerp. He died on 12 March 1983 in Beveren-Waas. Pauwels trained academically in Paris, then in private studios in Antwerp. His early works demonstrate his academic training, but he was heavily influenced by Impressionism and his later work has a more vibrant palette and airy, loose brushwork. He was known for his plein air technique, as shown in this piece. Pauwels exhibited widely, mainly in Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam and was successful both before and after WWII. Some of his works are held in public collections, including the Ghent Museum. His works were highly collectable amongst his contemporaries in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. He is known for a range of genres but is best known for his large canvases of romantic landscapes and country life. He also painted harbour scenes and some still life. His works remain collectable for their optimistic, poetic and nostalgic views of wholesome country life. © Big Sky Fine Art Discover Paysage Arboré, an original 1966 oil painting on board by Belgian artist Henri Joseph Pauwels (1903–1983).
