Sailboats at Low Tide, Henri Manguin, Voiliers à marée basse
Painted in 1931, Voiliers à marée basse reflects Manguin’s complete and enthusiastic adherence to Fauvism. Small sailboats are beached at low tide on the French Riviera.
Henri Manguin was a founder and early exponent of the Fauve movement. He had been close friends with Camoin, Matisse, and Marquet since 1895 when they were students of Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Their camaraderie and shared theoretical philosophy contributed to the momentous joint impact of their pioneering canvases when they were first shown to the public in 1905.
Along with the others, Manguin became fascinated by the color and intense light along the southern coast of France.
Available as a fine art print and as a stretched canvas panel (heavy fine art canvas stretched over 1.5 inch deep edge solid wood frame).
All prints are made using archival art stocks and UV pigment inks to give up to 200 years life. Prints are sold unframed and unmounted.
