Ladislas SLEWINSKI (1854-1918)
Marine at the island of Groix Oil on canvas 44 x 61 cm Provenance : Private collection in Paris Bibliography : - Musée de Pont-Aven, 1886-1986. Cent ans, Gauguin à Pont-Aven, June-September 1981, p. 16, no. 16 (illustrated). - Catalogue of the retrospective exhibition of the artist 1854-1918, Warsaw Museum, June 1983, no. 58 illustrated as no. 44. Born into an aristocratic Polish family, Władysław Ślewiński left Poland in 1888 to settle in Paris, where he enrolled at the Académie Julian in Marcel Baschet's studio, and later at the Académie Colarossi. He met Paul Gauguin in 1889 and a friendship developed between the two men. In 1890, he followed him to Brittany, to Le Pouldu, and stayed at the Auberge de Marie Henry. He adhered to synthetic forms and his motifs were mainly the Breton rocky coast. Then renting the villa St Joseph in Le Pouldu, he also befriended the Irishman O'Conor and Chamaillard. Our Marine on the island of Groix in its plastic simplicity and its atone light is at the same time indebted to pictorial synthetism but undoubtedly also to the Slavic melancholy of the painter.
