Description
Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson ARA, British 1889-1946- "Le Pont Neuf, Paris", c.1925; oil on canvas, signed, 49.6x39.7cm, (may be subject to Droit de Suite)
Provenance: with Redfern Gallery, London
Exhibited: London, Redfern Gallery, "25 Years of Paintings by C.R.W. Nevinson", February 1937, no. 24
Note: Nevinson studied in Paris at the Academie Julian from 1912-13 and at the Cercle Russe where he met Severini, Modigliani (with whom he shared a studio) and other radical artists in the city. Nevinson adored Paris, later describing it in the Daily Chronicle in October 1929 as the "home of all good aesthetic and intellectual ideas".
The subject matter of the urban landscape dominates Nevinson's canvases of the 1920s and 1930s in which Paris and London mainly feature. Although after the war Nevinson declared that he had given up on futurism, the geometric forms of the autumn trees and strong diagonals that are apparent in the present work demonstrate a debt to his involvement with the Futurist movement. As Nevinson recalled, "I did not paint much from nature then, but hung round the Gare St. Lazare, the Gare du Nord, the Seine, and the outskirts of Paris, working on quick sketches and inventing a new formula for myself'"(C.R.W. Nevinson, Paint & Prejudice, Methuen Publishers, London, 1937, p44).
