Landscape by André Paulmier

André Paulmier (1927-2009) Painting purchased in 1987 at the Chantal Bayeul gallery in Rouen. Landscape with 2 figures (a couple?) standing out against a background of dancing and shimmering colours. André RUELLAN, art critic: "Purely a native of Veules-Les-Roses and the Pays Cauchois, André PAULMIER has captured the atmosphere and the lovely nuances of colours triggered by the sunset on the Côte d'Albâtre, its green niches, and the most charming little river in France. A magician of light and a creator of colours with unexpected depths, while the balanced harmony of the masses imposes itself in purity and magic, André PAULMIER creates fresh and clear watercolours thanks to the particular mark of a brush attentive to the vitality of the subject. Thus, a reality appears transcended by the rhythm of the compositions, with an effectiveness and boldness that can also be found in his generous and expressive oils, where cities and countryside manifest their contemporary poetry. Moreover, still lifes also feel at ease under such mastery of colour, under this unprecedented lighting and audacious composition, an exceptional combination that brilliantly distinguishes an artist devoted to nature, outside the habits and genres that so many painters, lacking his talent, exhaust themselves in pursuit of.".
