About the Item
Signed lower left, 'J. Masson' for Jean Masson (French, 1900-1988) and painted circa 1945.
A substantial, mid-century oil showing a wooden schooner drawn up to a quay with a man on board reefing in a sail and a view beyond towards pink-tinged sunset clouds above a tropical island. To the right, the stern of a larger vessel flies the French tricolor.
Born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Masson first studied with Lucien Simon (French, 1861-19450) whose luminous Post-Impressionist landscapes of the coast of Brittany were to prove an enduring influence on Masson’s later paintings of the South Seas. In Paris, Masson’s work achieved early recognition and, in the mid 1930’s, he was awarded a scholarship from the Salon de l'Art Nationale to finance his first trip to French Polynesia. Arriving in Tahiti at the end of the 1930’s, he painted and studied for four years before returning to the United States where he mounted his first American exhibition at Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco (1943). After further exhibitions in Hollywood and New York, Masson returned to Tahiti in 1948, settling first in Punaauia and, subsequently, in Hapape. Masson continued to paint and exhibit with success including at the Polynesian Circle and at the Stuart Hotel.
