Description:
This vibrant oil painting by Breton artist Fanch Lel captures the energy and bustle of a traditional French open-air market. Painted in thick, expressive strokes, the composition is alive with movement: groups of loosely rendered figures gather beneath canvas parasols, browsing goods and exchanging conversation. The parasols themselves are painted in swooping curves of red, white, and pink, anchoring the composition horizontally and lending it a festive rhythm.
The artist’s signature style is unmistakable here — bold impasto brushwork, animated gestures, and an intuitive sense of atmosphere over fine detail. The figures are not rigid portraits but fluid impressions, suggesting sellers and shoppers mid-stride, turning toward stalls or conversing in pairs. Above, a brilliantly textured sky in azure and white stretches across the scene, the swirling clouds echoing the animated spirit below.
Fanch Lel was known for depicting the character of everyday life in Brittany and beyond. While this work may be set in a southern French or coastal market (as suggested by the light, palette, and parasols), it continues his lifelong dedication to capturing the human rhythms of community life. This is a particularly dynamic example of his market scenes — perfect for collectors who value post-war French impressionism, scenes of daily life, and paintings with bold colour and confident mark-making.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.

"Morning at the Market, Lasaska"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 50, plate #058.
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Joseph Barrett (1936 – )
Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf.
A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes...
