Laure Placide 1917-2014 – Pins in Provence, Ménerbes, August 1960

Oil on canvas signed at the bottom right, created in Ménerbes in the Luberon in August 1960. This work titled Pines in Provence is a beautiful composition from Laure Placide's Provençal period. Through a free and expressive touch, the artist captures the luminous atmosphere of the Luberon landscapes in a language close to the lyrical abstraction of the 1950s-1960s. Size 15F (approximately 65 X 54 cm). Warm palette dominated by ochres, oranges, browns, and blues, evoking the pines and the light of southern France. Very good condition, presented in a protective wooden frame. Artist born in Apt, Laure Placide developed a body of work deeply inspired by the landscapes of Provence. The paintings executed in Ménerbes in the early 1960s are among the most representative of her production. Delivery possible in Paris and the surrounding area on certain Sunday mornings.
