Oil on canvas. Featuring coastal scene. Signed and attr. Pierre Gautiez (French, 1923-2006). Entitled on verso, Hamina (Finlande). 21.1 x 25.6 inch (53.5 x 65 cm). Gautiez exhibited extensively throughout France, America and Japan. Born in 1923 in Yonne, it was in Normandy that Pierre Gautiez's artistic career unfolded. Friend of the painters of Rouen: Mirianon, Breant Cramoysan, Sebire ..., he was President of the Society of Norman Artists. Seduced by the sea, the skies, the shores, the luminous contrasts, he also adored the skies of Provence, of the Mediterranean - which attracted him for a moment - the banks of the Channel, the North Sea, the Baltic. Numerous titles and distinctions, official acquisitions, have rewarded his talent in France and abroad. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Chicago, IL)
