Signed 'A. Hambourg' (lower left)
André Hambourg’s Midi, Beau Temps, 1969 captures the joyful atmosphere of a summer day on the Normandy coast. With brisk, impasto brushwork and a soft pastel palette, Hambourg depicts a vibrant beach scene alive with colour, movement and light. Figures lounge and play beneath a vast sky, reflecting his signature blend of spontaneity and structure. A quintessential work of mid-20th-century French seaside painting.
André Hambourg is best known for his romantic compositions of Venice, luminous seascapes and charming beach scenes, painted with an expressive impressionistic brush and expressive colouring.
Hambourg’s dramatic marine seascapes and delightful beach scenes offer a spontaneous interpretation through the rapid application of expressive colours.
Vast areas of sky often dominate his compositions and his canvases are imbued with a feeling of endless space and time.
