"Marcel CRAMOYSAN (1915–2007) The Port of Dieppe. Oil on can - Lot 140
"Marcel CRAMOYSAN (1915–2007) The Port of Dieppe. Oil on canvas, signed lower left. 46 x 65 cm. A student of Pinchon, Cramoysan primarily painted Normandy landscapes. He first exhibited in Rouen in the 1940s before showing his work in Paris, where his oil paintings were displayed alongside those of Vlaminck, Foujita, and Utrillo at the Galerie Pétridès. In his most successful seascapes, a deep tonal range, shifting from blue to green, exudes a subdued intensity. This is the case with this view of the Port of Dieppe. The painting is classically composed according to a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 ratio. In the foreground, two sailboats and a rowboat are moored; the central part of the work features a ship—probably a battleship—and the cliff. The upper third of the oil painting depicts the sky, rendered in a hazy color palette that blends seamlessly with the tones of the harbor."
