Pottery, Flowers and Fruit, Ca 1961 Large Abstracted Sill Life French Oil on Canvas

1940 - 1960
Description

A large, gently glowing abstracted still life by Pierre Tritsch. Tritsch was born in Algiers, Algeria in 1929, and studied in his home town at the Fine Art Academy under Louis Fernez. Subsequently, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, he worked with Roger Chapelin-Midi. Tritsch was awarded the prestigious Prize of Rome in 1959.

The work presented here is part of a series of still lifes that Tritsch executed between 1961 and 1963. Some of them were exhibited at the Salon d’Automne and Salon des Tuileries in Paris and met with great success. Two of them were acquired by the French State, such as the analogous painting below, which at present is on loan to the Academy of Versailles.

Our painting by Tritsch has lovely provenance: it was purchased from the prestigious Galerie Romanet on rue de Seine and bears the gallery’s label on the stretcher bars. Measuring 61 x 93 cm , signed at the lower left and with stable craquelure, the painting is presented in its original strip frame.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-twentieth-century French abstracted still lifes feature simplified forms, heavy textured impasto, and a restrained palette that prioritises tone and spatial structure over realistic detail.

Artists during this period primarily worked with oil paints applied with brushes and palette knives onto stretched linen or cotton canvas, often built up in thick layered textures.

Authentic pieces generally show age-appropriate canvas tautness, natural craquelure patterns, artist signatures or inscriptions, and characteristic mid-century stretching or framing techniques.

Large mid-century paintings function well as focal points above sideboards or mantels, complementing natural timber, stone surfaces, and minimalist interior palettes.

Display canvas art away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, dust gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid water or liquid cleaning chemicals.
