ROUEN CATHEDRAL, OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED AND DATED BY PIERRE DUMONT

Pierre Dumont is one of the important painters of the modern school of Rouen. His work, ode to color and the desire of painting, expresses an original personal research. With his use of warm dense colors and his generous brush, he created lively impastos on his canvas. Settled in Monmartre in a studio in the Bateau-Lavoir, Dumont never forgot his attachment to Rouen and returned there regularly to paint.

This work is part of a series of views of the cathedral of Rouen, one of his favorite subjects, in the beginning of his career between 1908 and 1910.

Lot Essay

Pierre Dumont est un des peintres importants de l'école rouennaise moderne. Son oeuvre, ode à la couleur et au désir de peindre, exprime une recherche personnelle originale. Ses couleurs chaudes, denses et son pinceau généreux servent une ferme représentation des volumes. Installé à Montmarte dans un atelier du Bateau-Lavoir, Dumont ne démentira toutefois jamais son attachement à Rouen et y retournera régulièrement planter son chevalet.

Cette oeuvre fait partie d'une série des vues de la cathédrale de Rouen, un de ses sujets favoris, au début de sa carrière entre 1908 et 1910.
