Landscape by Guillaume Dulac, France (1883-1929) oil on canvas 71cm x 60cm £1800

Guillaume Dulac (1883-1929) is a French artist born in the 19th century. In this painting of a lake outside Paris in the countryside I am appreciating the Fauvist , cubist and post expressionist influences . He was a close associate of other well known artists such as Charles Camoin and Albert Marquet. He exhibited his works in Paris' Salon des Indépendents in 1905, in the Salon de l'Union Artistique of Toulouse in 1908-1910 and had an artistic presence in the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. His last exhibit was in the Salon des Tuileries in June of 1929. In December of that same year, his body was recovered having drowned in the Seine river and then moved to the noted Père-Lachaise cemetery. Because of the evident quality and desirability of his art, In La Ciotat, France, near Marseille, there is a street named after this artist: l'Avenue Guillaume Dulac.
