Description

Othon Friesz,
French 1879-1949 - 

Landscape, 1920; 

oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right 'E.Othon Friesz 1920', 46.5 x 55 cm 

Provenance:
with Frost & Reed, London; 
Ruth Plant (1912-1988), purchased from the above (according to the partial label attached to the reverse); 
the Descendants of Sidney and Stella Churchill (1862-1921 and 1883-1954) and Ruth Plant (1912-1988) 

Note:
a similar oil on canvas work is in the collection of Charleston, Lewes, c.1920–1922, as well as 'Les Vosges, 1919' in the Ashmolean Collection, Oxford from the same period, depicting a mountain scene. 

Friesz was a member of the Fauves along with Henri Matisse, Andre Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, and work closely alongside his childhood friend Raoul Dufy throughout his career. Perhaps due to the influence of Cezanne, from 1908 he returned to a more subdued colour palette. In the present work we can see this careful gradation of colour, combined with a loose brushstroke that evokes the sensation of standing before the landscape. 

Established in 1808, Frost & Reed is one of the oldest art dealers in Britain. They have sold works by the likes of Old Masters, Alfred Munnings, Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Jean-Franck Baudoin and Marcel Dyf.
