Oil on cardboard recto/verso,
Signed lower left,
Annotated in a barely legible manner on the recto in the upper right corner.

Beautiful double-sided luminous work by the Cannes painter, Louis Pastour which represents fishermen in the bay of Cannes on a summer day.
On the front, the painter chose to represent a sun rising or setting in the bay of Cannes bustling with fishermen.
On the back, the painter chose to represent fishermen in the bay of Cannes with the old town and the Suquet district in the background.
This front and back painting offers you the choice of displaying the side you want according to your desires.

The large red sail sharp as a wing, its typical boats, the light of the sky, of the sea... immerse us in the air of the old Cannes of the belle époque. Worker by day and student in the evening at the School of Decorative Arts in the city of Nice and then Paris, he exhibited for the first time at the age of 45. In 1902, he founded with a group of workers passionate about art: the Association of Fine Arts of Cannes of which he was the general secretary.
Through this association, painters from the region are highlighted through an annual exhibition.
A painter of light with total mastery of colors, Louis Pastour uses the knife technique to bring his works to life.

Recognized by critics as a painter-poet because of the names of poems they give to his works: Feast of the sun, Reflections of gold, Glory in the morning...

Dimensions: 21 x 30 cm without frame and 28 x 37 cm with its modern black wooden frame.
