Product Description
Victor Mathias (British, 20th century)
River Landscape with rowing boat and dinghies, 1940
Oil on card, 95 mm x 162 mm
Signed V Mathias lower right, signed and dated in pencil verso, V Mathias, April: 1940.
The support has a slight horizontal curve, and is formed of a cut-down carton for Tate & Lyle granulated sugar.
The work forms part of an extensive series of pictures by Victor Mathias, which evoke a calm and idyllic landscape, reminiscent of southern France, with trees and rivers bathed in a soft golden light. These small landscapes are painted with confidence and bravura in a kind of urgent visual shorthand. Dabs of paint and a mixture of fluid and dry media are built up to give a rich texture and tonal range.
