Alex LIZAL (1878-1915) Wooded dune, 1911 Oil on canvas, signed and dated “1911” lower right. 41.5 x 67 cm. “Here, in a deliberately washed-out work, treated in shades, the artist transposes the fluidity and limpidity to oil painting. watercolor, of which a necessary grooming will reveal the primitive hues in their freshness. The inclined pines on the left which contrast with the verticality of the trunks, reinforce the slope of the dune. The pace quickens, anticipating a comic book effect. Above the signature, a set of keys detached from any descriptive function, is released in a purely free game which arouses an aesthetic of the formless. Lizal imposes in a squeaky writing, an oriental calligraphy, and the musicality of the trunks which Sourgen will remember. Against Auguin, the official master, Lizal, the marginal, offers an offbeat vision, a second degree of the dune, where his humor slips and his transgression. » Jean-Roger Soubiran, Art Historian (Extract from auction catalog) To be auctioned on January 20 (Peintures bordelaises #8) Viewing: Thursday 20 January and Friday 21 January : 2-6.30pm Saturday 22 January : 10am-noon www.briscadieu-bordeaux.com @briscadieubordeaux Expert: @cabinetmarechaux @mba_bordeaux #briscadieu #briscadieubordeaux #peinturesbordelaises #alexlizal #societedesartistesfrancais #landes #woodeddune #leslandes #dune #landesmuseum #peintureregionaliste #fineart #naturelovers #modernart #realismpainting #frenchhistory #landscape #paintingoftheday #interiordesigner #artmuseums #luxurylifestyle #bordeaux
