Oil on panel "the haystacks"

Oil on panel by adrien hamon on the theme of haystacks. Dimensions with frame 53 X 36 X 3 dimensions worked part 43 X 24.5, born in 1875 in bgard, he left bgard very young and studied in saint-brieuc and saint-malo, where he discovered the turbulent sea bathing the ramparts of the corsair city. Engaged in the “royale”, adrien hamon travels around the world, and becomes a cartographer. Health problems forced him to stay on land and he was discharged. Now a passion occupies him, drawing and painting. He exhibited for the first time in toulon in 1909. As a breton of good stock, he knew and loved the sea. It was therefore quite naturally his great inspiration. Born inland, adrien hamon is the painter of the sea. A solid and precise drawing, a happy placement, a skilful choice of tones according to the impressionist mode to which he remains faithful. The breton, based in rousillon, painted his native brittany (bay of saint-brieuc) and also cap béar, near port-vendres in the pyrénées-orientales. 1909: first exhibition in toulon.
