Description: Alfred Manessier Rare Early Original Oil Painting Blue Seaside Vintage Antique This is a teriffic orignal painting by the great 20th Century French artist Alfred Manessier. It was painted sometime between 1952 and 1955, when the artist did a series of paintings of the North Sea, and the Bay of Somme. We believe the latter location is what this particular painting portrays. The scene shows rough waters at sea, with seagulls catching the wind above. The artist also worked in stained glass, and you can see a hint of that in the pattern of the brillance of refractive brillant vibrant light through the waves. This also adds a surreal touch to the realism. Manessier is known for his abstract work, and this is a rare, early example of his figurative painting. Artist: Alfred Manessier Medium: Oil on canvas Image size: 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches Condition: Very good; This is a splendid seascape by a master of the New School of Paris. NOTE: Alfred Manessier (1911-1993) Alfred Manessier was born at Saint-Ouen (Somme), France. He attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in both d'Amienns, and in Paris, where he studied art, design, and architecture. In 1937 he worked at the Pavillon de l'Air et des Chemins de Fer at the Paris World's Fair. Painting, tapestry, and stained glass all became mediums for him. His early work showed influences of Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, and late Surrealism. His artistic vision became clear when he discovered abstract, or more appropriately, non-figurative art. This new style still drew inspiration from nature, and the landscapes that he was drawn to in his youth. In 1953, he received the First Prize for Painting at the Biennale of Sao Paulo, and later the main painting prize at the 1962 Venice Biennale. He soon came to be regarded as one of the leading artists of expressive abstraction. He was deeply focused on his religious life with the Trappists.
