Jean Hugon: Mediterranean Port, 1967 (Watercolor, with gouache highlights) Watercolor, with gouache highlights Dedicated and signed by hand, lower right: “For Yves Guérin, with best regards,” signed “Hugon” Dimensions: Paper: 36 × 27 cm (14.17 × 10.63 in.) — Image: the central portion of the sheet Condition: good condition, unframed Provenance: Yves Guérin’s guestbook, compiled between 1963 and 1992 (from a single collection). Description: A luminous and atmospheric watercolor of a Mediterranean harbor—fishing boats and a tall-masted sailboat moored in the foreground, and beyond, a pier with a neoclassical building featuring a colonnade (columned pediment) and a Baroque bell tower, set among warm ochre facades—painted in fresh, transparent washes with areas of white left unpainted. Jean Hugon was a French painter born in Marseille who settled in Bordeaux in 1953; influenced by the Impressionists and the Fauves, he painted harbors, boats, and fishing scenes in a colorful style. (The delicate, transparent watercolor technique here differs from his better-known oil paintings; the attribution remains to be confirmed.) Signed and inscribed by hand.
