Description

Here is a painting that is refreshing to look at, and not only during a heatwave! Dating from the 1930s, it is a beautiful example of the colourist art of Marthe Dorlet, a woman artist who worked alongside Suzanne Valadon.

Marthe's painting shares the boldness, vibrancy, and strong contrasts that caracterise Valadon's palette of colours, as prove the rich blues, dark madder and touches of yellow in this winter scene. The critic and poet Georges Turpin consider Marthe Dorlet's "harmonic discoveries very exciting", and it is easy to see why. Marthe became a member of the Salon d'Hiver in 1929 and exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Indépendants . From 1934, she exhibited at the Salon d'Automne. She also worked with Suzanne Valadon from 1934 to 1937.

Marthe was a member of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors and had acclaimed one man shows at the Carmine Gallery, the Galerie René Breteau, and the Galerie Lucie Krogh, among others.

Our oil on hardboard by Marthe Dorlet is signed at the upper right. To the verso, there are traces of exhibition labels and an inscription by the artist's hand which situates the landscape at "Bouzy-la-Forêt", a village in the forrest of Orléans.

Measuring 46 x 55 cm the overall size of the painting in an art deco style silvered wooden frame is 53 x 63 cm.

FAQs

The style is characterised by bold, non-naturalistic use of colour and expressive brushwork, moving away from strict realism to convey emotional response and visual intensity.

Artists during this period frequently utilised oil paints applied to prepared canvas, wooden panels, or fibrous boards, often sealed with a traditional gesso ground.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the support material, pigment composition, artist signatures, framing remnants, and natural ageing characteristics such as varnish oxidisation.

This type of artwork serves as a focal point, pairing well with neutral walls, minimalist frames, and directional lighting to highlight the textured surface and vibrant colour palette.

Paintings on board should be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent warping of the support and cracking of the paint layer.
