Product description
Genre scene with fishermen, Mediterranean / Oriental coast probably North Africa by the well-known French artist Gustave Lino (1893-1961). Oil canvas 30 x 45 cm.
Gustave Lino was born in Mulhouse (France) in 1893. At the age of 20 he moved to Marseille and discovered the Mediterranean coast and Provence.
He was interested in art from an early age, but never received any artistic training. In Marseille, far from his homeland, the young man spontaneously decides to travel to Algiers, without knowing what awaits him there. When he arrived in Algiers, he was immediately fascinated by the city.
Since the beginning of the First World War, however, Lino became a civilian internee on Corsica, where German prisoners of war were also housed.
There Gustave Lino learned the basics of painting from a German painter and initially began creating building decorations.
After the end of the war he returned to Alger and was trained by Geoges Rochegrosse.
To improve his technique, he travels to Spain, where he studies the "Chiaro Oscuro" and concentrates on the works of Albert Marquet.
He particularly appreciates its sharpness and transparency, the artist's harmony of lines and colors.
He specializes in still life, Algerian landscapes and marines.
As a talented colorist, Lino places particular emphasis on the quality of his work. His works are often identified with the poetic realism movement (Brianchon, Legueult, Caillard, Limouse, Cavaillès, Oudot, Planson and Terechkovitch), whose common characteristic is the poetic interpretation of reality.
Lino traveled extensively throughout his life, but eventually returned to Corsica and Venice, where his artworks were greatly appreciated by a wide audience.
