Marguerite Allar
Fauvist View of A French River and Mountain Landscape, The Verdon, Provence.

About the Item

A mid century, pastel on card, Fauvist landscape by Marguerite Allar. Signed bottom left, annotated and titled to the back board and presented in plain wood frame. A colourful view of the Verdon Gorge in the South of France. Allar has used a wonderfully varied colour palette to capture the rugged landscape and river of this iconic region. She shows a mastery of her medium and her sure but quick style has given a vivacity and energy to the composition. It has a feeling of the Fauves about it, in its style and use of colour. Marguerite Allar was from a family of artists and sculptors, most notably her uncle André-Joseph Allar and mother, Angeline Allar. She devoted herself to painting and became a pupil of Jean Patricot. She painted Provençal and Oriental landscapes, as well as portraits (Countess Pastré etc.). From 1928 onwards, she exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris and at regional exhibitions. She also made stained glass windows (Saint-Lucien chapel in Les Goudes in Marseille). In 1946, she created her own academy on the Old Port at 13 Quai de Rive Neuve where she was the neighbour of the painter François Diana. She taught drawing, painting, art history and decoration. This academy was to become very famous for years and helped to train many young artists. In 1957, she passed the art history competition at the École des beaux-arts in Marseille.

Large Pastel Landscape Purple Mountains Landscape American Modernist Painting
By Larry Horowitz
Located in Surfside, FL
LARRY HOROWITZ (American b. 1956) "Purple Mountains," 1988, pastel on paper Hand signed and dated L/R, "Horowitz '88," Dimensions sight 19 1/2" x 23", framed, 26 1/2" x 30 1/2". Larry Horowitz is an American landscape painter. He was born in 1956 in New York City and graduated from SUNY Purchase and immediately won the prestigious and coveted position as apprentice to Wolf Kahn. Horowitz's work captures the beauty of the American landscape with expert use of texture and color that invites imagination and discovery. Although he paints en plein air, he has a firm grounding in abstract expressionism through his education with former students from the Bauhaus and Hans Hofmann school. He has combined both points of view to develop his unique language. His work follows in the tradition of great Modernist American landscape painters Arthur Dove, Georgia O'Keefe and Charles Burchfield but with a more modern, Fauvist color palette. He was included in the show "In the Country, By the Sea" at Madelyn Jordan Gallery along with David Kimball Anderson, Stanley Boxer, Byron Browne, Derek Buckner, Richard Diebenkorn, Larry Kelsey, Gary Komarin, and Susan Wides. Horowitz has also shown at Images Gallery along with Gary Bukovnik, Helen Frankenthaler, Larry Horowitz, Alex Katz, Robert Motherwell, Don Nice, Philip Pearlstein, Joseph Raffael, Hunt Slonem, Carol Summers and Neil Welliver. Horowitz has exhibited extensively both in the US and Canada and is included in numerous private, corporate and public collections.
