- Lot Description
Gerard Mortier (French, b. 1951). "La Vente Des Moules" oil on canvas, 2010. Signed on the lower right. A beautiful painting presenting a mesmerizing scene of a bustling Parisian market. Employing a thick application of paint with both brush and palette knife to create wonderful stretches of impasto, as well as large vertical and horizontal planes of brilliant color, Gerard Mortier has made this Parisian urban scene come to life. Most prominent is the mussels stand, for which the painting is named. Customers line up beneath the luminescent blue and white awnings and brilliant yellow and pink umbrellas to enjoy these tasty mollusks. Note how Mortier zooms in on the scene, cutting it off at the flower box as if presenting photographic close-up. In this way, Mortier conveys a sense that we are being privileged with a special moment in time. Size: 32" W x 24" H (81.3 cm x 61 cm)
Born in 1951 in Boulogne sur Mer, France, Gerard Mortier has been dubbed the "Ambassador of the Opal Coast" and most of his works depict lands on the English Channel - palpably capturing the power of the wind and sea that characterize this region of France. In addition, Mortier depicts various locales when traveling. When not traveling, Gerard also finds subjects to paint in the tranquil garden of his rustic country home in the northern part of his country. This urban scene is more unusual in his oeuvre.
Gerard Mortier appeared on national French television on May 10, 2015. Mortier also appeared on "Vous Etes Formidables" (You Are Fabulous), a nationally broadcast show on July 5, 2018. If you wish to view these episodes, reach out to us for the links.
