Climbing Over the Farm Gates, Rolling Hills, Large Landscape, Art Deco Period 1930s French Oil on Canvas

1920 - 1940
Description

Climbing over the farm gates, large rolling landscape, art deco period 1930s French oil

Perfectly capturing the light of early spring is this landscape with rolling hills in which a boy is climbing over wooden farms gates. Painted in soft luminous colours, it is gloriously fresh and has a timeless quality and a hint of art deco.

It is a work from the 1930s by Eugène Maria Cordier (1903 -1974), a franco-german artist from Strasbourg. Cordier studied in Munich with Julius Diez, and worked in Germany as a commercial artist, and graphic designer, specialising in posters. He was also an easel painter, and the oil on canvas presented here bears the rests of an exhibition, probably from the Salon des Independants.

Signed at the lower right, this large oil on canvas measures 53 x 82 cm. The overall size in its original frame is 63 x 91 cm.

FAQs

French landscape art from the 1930s often combines traditional figurative pastoral themes with simplified geometry, structured composition, and a soft colour palette typical of the interwar period.

Artists during this era predominantly worked with oil paints applied directly onto stretched linen or cotton canvas, occasionally using wooden panels or artist board as a support.

Authentic period paintings typically display natural craquelure, aged stretcher keys or wooden canvas supports, period-appropriate brushwork, and subtle canvas discolouration on the reverse.

A large rural landscape functions well as a focal point above a fireplace mantelpiece or sideboard, paired with neutral walls and warm timber furniture to complement its subtle earthy tones.

Keep the canvas out of direct sunlight and extreme humidity, dusting the frame lightly with a soft brush while leaving professional varnish cleaning to a qualified fine art conservator.
