Signed Gustave Loiseau Oil Painting on Canvas, 1921
This captivating oil painting, attributed to the renowned French Post-Impressionist artist Gustave Loiseau (1865-1935), depicts a serene harbor scene, vividly capturing the essence of the coastal landscape in 1921. The artwork is signed "G. Loiseau" and dated in the lower right corner.
On the verso of the canvas, an indistinct figure is painted, possibly related to the harbor scene. Above the figure, there appears to be another "Gustave Loiseau" signature
Born in 1865, Gustive Loiseau had parents who were small butcher shop owners. They moved the family to Ile-Saint-Louis in Paris shortly after he was born. He became an apprentice to a decorator friend of the family. His parents, realizing that he was unlikely to change his mind about his future of wanting to become an artist, soon after sold their business and retired to Pontoise.
In 1884, after a year of military service spent in Paris, Loiseau returned to the apprenticeship with the decorator, but realized his true calling was to paint. In 1887 he established himself in Montmartre*, first in the Rue Myrrha and then at La Maison du Trappeur. He enrolled for one year in the Ecole des Arts-Décoratifs* in 1888, where he followed courses in life-drawing, which he felt he needed, until an argument with his teacher prompted him to withdraw.He befriended the myriad of artists in residence there, most importantly Paul Gauguin, as well as Maxime Maufra and Emile Bernard.
Loiseau developed a type of ‘cross-hatching’* technique, called en treillis (latticework), which gave his paintings the supple, almost touchable quality for which he is known.
He debuted at the Salon des Indèpendants* in 1893, as well as in 1895 at the Salon of the Société Nationale*. He also figured prominently at the group Impressionist* shows in 1890 and 1896
