About the Item
French Fauvist landscape drawing on card by Auguste Chabaud. The drawing is signed bottom left and carries the atelier stamp and reference numbers to the back. Presented in a fine black and gilt custom frame with glass to back and front.
Provenance: from the collection of famous French actor Pierre Richard.
This artwork is a captivating landscape drawing, featuring a serene rural scene. The winding road acts as a compelling focal point, meandering through a grove of gracefully bending olive trees on either side, leading the viewer’s eye toward a distant cluster of pointed cypress trees beside a quaint house. The fluid, sweeping lines create a sense of movement and tranquillity, highlighting the natural beauty of the setting. Chabaud masterfully employs contrasts and shading to evoke depth, with trees casting long shadows that dance across the road. This monochromatic palette enhances the timeless quality of the rural landscape, making it feel both nostalgic and inviting. Notably, the meticulous texture of the foliage and the rhythmic arrangement of the trees add a distinctive charm and organic flow, engaging the observer in a peaceful, contemplative journey through this harmonious scenery.
Auguste CHABAUD was born in Nîmes on October 3, 1882.
At the age of fourteen Chabaud joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Avignon. In 1899 he went to Paris to continue his artistic training at the Academie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux Arts. There he met Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1900 he returned to his parents' vineyard in southern France briefly before returning to Paris.
In 1901, he was forced to leave Paris again in order to secure his livelihood. He worked on a ship and got to know the West African coast. Upon his return in 1907 and in the following years, he became acquainted with and captured in his paintings the excitement of the Parisian nightlife. In the Paris neighbourhood Montmartre, where he had his studio, he painted various scenes of Parisian life and cafe society.
At the same time, he continued to paint Provence and took part in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne, where he exhibited with the Fauves.
Chabaud's Cubist phase began in 1911, where he also began sculpting. In the following years he had many exhibitions, including 1913 in New York, where his works were exhibited alongside those of artists such as Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Picasso.
After his return from the first World War Chabaud settled down in Graveson. From 1920 he had his "blue period". He used the Prussian Blue as the only colour in his works. From then, he focused exclusively on the south of France. He painted scenes of rural life, the farmers, and the hills and trails of the Alpilles.
A very important retrospective exhibition of his work took place in Paris in 1952, which gave him the opportunity to return to Paris, which he had left in 1914. Another retrospective exhibition in Paris took place in 1965 commemorating the tenth anniversary of his death.
He died in 1955 in Graveson.
In 1966, he was represented at the exhibition “Le Fauvisme français et les débuts de l’impressionnisme Allemand” (French Fauvism and the beginnings of German Impressionism) which were held at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and at the Haus Der Kunst in Munich.
In 1992, the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur opened the Musée Auguste Chabaud in his honour.

Auguste Chabaud
Auguste Chabaud was a French painter and sculptor. At the age of 14, Chabaud joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Avignon. In 1899, he went to Paris to continue his artistic training at the Académie Julian and the Écoledes Beaux-Arts. There he met Henri Matisse and André Derain. In 1900, he returned to his parents' vineyard in southern France, because the business was affected by a crisis there. In 1901, he was forced to leave Paris in order to secure his livelihood. He worked on a ship and got to know the West African coast. In the following years, he became acquainted with the Parisian nightlife and art collectors interested in growing for him. In the Paris neighborhood Montmartre, where he had his studio, he painted various scenes of Parisian life. Chabaud’s Cubist phase began in 1911, where he also began sculpting. In the following years, he had many exhibitions, including 1913 in New York, where his works were exhibited alongside those of artists such as Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Picasso. After his return from the First World War, Chabaud settled down in Graveson. From 1920, he had his blue period. He used the Prussian Blue as the only color in his works. From then, he focused exclusively on the south of France. He painted scenes of rural life, the farmers and the hills and trails of the Alpilles.

French Expressionist Landscape, The Abri at L
Olivette, Cap d
Antibes
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French Expressionist oil on canvas landscape of countryside at L'Olivette, Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera, by Germain Bonel. The painting is signed bottom right and signed, dated and titled to the back of the canvas.
A strong and impactful composition of the trees and forest leading down to the sea wall and then the Mediterranean beyond at the Port (or 'Abri' as it is also known) of l'Olivette on the west coast of Cap d'Antibes, the iconic location in the South of France. This former small traditional fishing port from the beginning of the twentieth century is now converted into a picturesque little marina on Cap d'Antibes, with its rocky cove, its beach, its pine forest, its umbrella pines, olive trees, fig trees, and agaves and its famous 'Villa Aujourd'hui' a modernist residence built by American architect Barry Dierks (1899-1960) in 1938 for socialite Mrs. Audrey Chadwick. L'Olivette has a privileged panoramic view of the Gulf of Juan, and the coastal shores of Cap d'Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Golfe-Juan, and the Pointe Croisette of Cannes.
Germain Bonel (5 August 1913 – 2002) was a French painter of Catalan origin. From 1967 to 1983, he was a professor of drawing and painting at the Perpignan School of Fine Arts. From 1969 to 1978, he also taught art in the schools of Saint-Cyprien-village and Saint-Cyprien-Plage.
Germain Bonel's painting is both expressionist and decorative. Georges-Henry Gourrier said of him: "Germain Bonel's painting expresses [quite naturally] the singular beauty of forms, the radiant force of colour, the deepening of matter and the tenderness of the things of life. His work appears to be a painting of plenitude."
From 1941 to 1945, Germain Bonel studied drawing at the Municipal School of Fine Arts in Perpignan. He won first prize in 1945. Out of competition, he continued his studies at the same school from 1945 to 1948 and he regularly exhibited his works at the annual exhibition held at the Salle Arago in Perpignan.
Germain Bonel met François Desnoyer in 1950 and introduced him to the Catalan artistic milieu.
He was admitted to the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1951 and exhibited until 1961, when he became a member of the salon. As early as 1951 a commentary said, "with the canvas hanging...

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount.
A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best.
Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
