Lot Essay
Jean-Bertrand Pegot-Ogier se forme dans la tradition académique auprès des peintres de Concarneau avant de rencontrer Henry Moret qui l'initie à l'esthétique de Pont-Aven. Par la simplification des formes ainsi que la représentation d'un sujet pittoresque, cette Jeune bretonne allongée illustre parfaitement la maîtrise de ces deux courants picturaux par l'artiste. Bien que l'oeuvre ne soit pas à proprement parler cloisonniste, les plans se découpent les uns des autres par de légers cernes ou par la juxtaposition de couleurs tranchantes.
Jean-Bertrand Pegot-Ogier was educated in Concarneau in the pure academic tradition, and it was Henry Moret who first introduced him to the Pont-Aven aesthetics. The simplified forms and the picturesque subject of this Jeune bretonne allongée perfectly embody Pegot-Ogier's mastery of both painting styles. While it is not a pure synthetist work, the composition is indeed structured with lines defining the various planes and comprised of juxtaposed, contrasting colours.
