About the Item

Jean Ekert (French, 20th Century) Coastal Landscape, circa 1960 Oil on board, signed lower right This vibrant coastal view by Jean Ekert captures the warmth and energy of the Mediterranean in a bold Impressionist palette. Painted circa 1960, the work is composed with short, confident strokes of pure colour that fuse land, sea, and sky into a single luminous harmony. Ekert’s brushwork is expressive yet finely balanced—terracotta roofs, ochre cliffs, and flashes of turquoise water are suggested rather than defined, allowing the viewer’s eye to reconstruct the scene through the rhythm of colour. The composition builds from soft rose and amber tones in the foreground toward the deep ultramarine of the distant sea, evoking the heat and brilliance of southern light. Working within the tradition of mid-century French Post-Impressionism, Ekert developed a distinctive language of abstraction and atmosphere, drawing upon the legacy of Bonnard, Dufy, and Marquet while embracing the spontaneity of the modern era. His paintings are admired for their immediacy and decorative strength—vivid translations of place and mood rendered through colour alone. Housed in a broad gilt-lined frame that complements the richness of the palette, this piece exemplifies the lyrical vitality of French coastal painting in the post-war period—at once modern, expressive, and timeless in its evocation of sunlight and sea.

Expressionist Seascape, Bord de la Mer, Cassis, South of France
By Achille-Émile Othon Friesz
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid Century Expressionist oil on canvas seascape of the Mediterranean coastline at Cassis in the South of France. The painting is signed bottom left but as yet undeciphered. Title to the rear stretcher. Presented in a fine gilt and patinated custom wood frame. This stunning seascape captures the raw, untamed beauty of a rocky coastline with impeccable detail. The painting uses a rich palette of blues and earthy browns to depict the tumultuous waves crashing against rugged cliffs. The artist's skilful use of texture and brushwork brings the scene to life, with the churning sea appearing almost animated in its movement. The contrast between the cool, turbulent water and the warm, solid rocks creates a dynamic tension, drawing the viewer's eye along the coast. Unique to this piece is the artist’s ability to convey the mood of nature’s relentless power while also highlighting the serene beauty of the ocean. The careful layering of colours and precise composition make this artwork a captivating interpretation of nature’s untamed forces. Some of the composition and use of colours is reminiscent of the works of Achille-Émile Othon Friesz...
