(Bélon, The Port at Low Tide)

Oil on canvas
This original oil on canvas by Yvonne Canu captures the serene charm of Bélon, a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. The painting depicts peaceful fishing boats both docked and setting out, with the lush town nestled in the background as gulls circle gracefully above the port. This calm yet vibrant scene showcases the artist's remarkable talent for evoking tranquility and beauty through her distinctive style and creative expression.
Born in Morocco in 1921, Yvonne Canu traveled to Paris to study at the reputable École des Arts Décoratifs. Following the First World War, she entered the circle of the French-Japanese painter Tsuguharu Foujita and the Impressionist Élisée Maclet, both of whom profoundly influenced the development of her style. She experimented with not only the Impressionist style but also Cubism early in her career. However, it would be the great Georges Seurat who had the most impact on her artistic aesthetic. Inspired by the artist's masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Canu developed the pointillist style of painting for which she is famous today. Her canvases are distinctly modern, rendered with painstakingly precise dots of pure color that brilliantly blend to form a cohesive work of art. Although her paintings indeed display the influence of Georges Seurat in both their technique and choice of subject, her style is nevertheless distinctive.
