About the Item
Pointillist oil on canvas landscape circa 1906 by French Nabis painter Georges Lacombe. This beautiful piece depicts a forest with tree trunks covered in thick green moss and orange and brown leaves dotted all over the floor.
This work dates to between 1906 and 1907 in the very short two year window where Lacombe experimented with Neo-Impressionism. The painting was executed in the forest of Ecouves at Alençon where the artist bought his home "L'Ermitage" in 1897. It was here that he met Theo Van Rysselberghe who introduced him to Neo-Impressionism. Lacombe adopted this technique through 1906 and 1907 painting views of his beloved forest around his house.
“A divisionist and colorist, he treated the Ecouves forest with a freedom that brought him close to Fauvism. Then, abandoning arbitrary colors and pointillism, he adopted a very flexible style, always remaining faithful to the landscapes of Alençon, which he accurately rendered” writes Aude Pessey-Lux - an expert on the painter and head of the Musee de Alencon which ran a major retrospective of the work of Lacombe in 1992.

This work is included in the catalogue raisonné of the work of Georges Lacombe ( J. Ansieau, Georges Lacombe, Catalogue Raisonné, Paris, 1998, p. 163, no. 106)
Georges Lacombe was the son of the painter Laure Lacombe, who taught him to draw. His father was a cabinet-maker and taught him how to work with wood. In 1891 he produced four decorative wood sculptures that were Symbolist in style. In 1892 he met Sérusier who introduced him to the Nabis and Lacombe soon became the sculptor of the group. He made frequent summer visits to Camaret in Brittany where he worked alongside painters such as Cottet, Maufra and Rivière. In 1897 he married Marthe Wenger, the daughter of Gabrielle Wenger, and moved to a house called L'Ermitage in the Ecouves Forest at Alençon. He stayed at L'Ermitage until his death. He was introduced to Theo Van Rysselbegrhe around 1905 - it was Van Rysselberghe who introduced Lacombe to Neo-Impressionism - a style which the painter would adopt during the period 1906 to 1907.
Lacombe produced numerous oil and pastel portraits and carved low reliefs in wood, such as Breton Dances, Cursed Women and Sower. He also produced busts, including those of Bertrand, Bonnard, Denis, Roussel and Sérusier (which decorates Sérusier's tomb at Morlaix), and figurine statuettes for the Paul Ranson puppet theatre. An artist and a craftsman, Lacombe enjoyed carving wood and in 1892, like Gauguin, created a bed with four panels symbolising Birth, Love, Dream and Death. Lacombe practised a range of different techniques and was a Symbolist by inspiration. Influenced by Gauguin and by Japanese drawings and paintings, some of his work has almost fantastic elements. From 1900 onwards he produced mainly female figures in bronze.
Lacombe exhibited at many exhibitions, including: the 5th Exposition des Peintres Symbolistes at the Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville (1893), the 6th exhibition (1894), the eighth (1896) and the 11th; The Ten ( Les Dix) at the Galerie Vollard in Paris (1897); an exhibition of the work of the Nabis (Bonnard, Ibels, Ranson, Rippl-Ronai, Roussel, Sérusier, Vallotton and Vuillard) and of Odilon Redon at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris (1899); and at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1899). Six works by Lacombe were shown as part of the retrospective exhibition Les Nabis mounted by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in 1993 in Paris.
