Description

Painted in the manner of the Mediterranean artists - with a paint knife rather than with brushes - this colourful view of a small fishing port in the South of France is a work by Czech artist Karel "Charles" Cermak.

Born in Pilsen in Bohemia in 1877, Cermak - like so many artists at the turn of the century- came to France, where he settled in Saint Tropez. He became known for his landscapes of Provence and depictions of the Riviera, still perfectly unspoiled at the time. He particularly loved the harbour of the village of Saint Tropez.

Cermak exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Indépendants from 1929 à 1931. Our oil on panel, dating from this period, is signed at the lower right and measures 44 x 38 cm. Small pieces of wood were added on each side for the painting to fit into a standard 38 x 46 cm frame. The overall framed size size is 54 x 66 cm.
