Gustave Bolin
(Swedish, 1920-1999)

"Campagne Contre Jour, Antibes", 1965

oil on canvas
signed and dated lower right, and signed, titled and dated en verso.
Framed.
38-1/4" x 51", framed 39" x 52"

Provenance: Galerie Renee Laporte, Antibes, France, 1965; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Notes: "An excellent new art gallery has been opened in Antibes since our last visit, the Galerie Laporte. The proprietress, Madame Laporte, is a lady of a certain age always complaining about the heat (it is not very hot actually) but with a good deal of taste. She lives in Paris six months of the year and has her gallery here during the six summer months. She has assembled quite an interesting stable of artists, most of whom follow her regime of spending half the year in this area and the winter time in Paris. We were particularly impressed with a chap named Bolin, a Swede by birth who is now 45 years old and has lived in Paris since he was one year old, so that actually he is French though racially he is Swedish. He has exhibited in New York and has a gallery connection there as well as in Paris. We visited his studio on Cap d'Antibes and saw one of his most recent works."
