Le Chateau de Tournon (The Castle of Tournon), 1928
signed, dated and titled on the lower right
watercolor on paper
24 x 34 cm
Framed : 49 x 58 cm
Exhibition label on the reverse at the Galerie Charpentier.
Maurice Asselin was also a renowned and talented watercolourist in a very recognisable, almost expressionist style as can be seen in this beautiful watercolour.
The exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier, which was a very famous gallery (it is now the location of the Sotheby's headquarters in Paris) devoted, as we read on the label, to the watercolours of Maurice Asselin alone, shows the particular interest that was shown in them.
The Castle of Tournon overlooks the Rhone valley, perched on a rock, its origins date back to the 9th century, but most of the present building dates from the 14th and 15th centuries.
Maurice Asselin is a painter and engraver, member of the "Ecole de Paris" .
For the famous Art Historian, Bernard Dorival , Maurice Asselin was - with André Dunoyer de Segonzac , Charles Dufresne , Paul-Elie Gernez and Henry de Waroquier - among the painters of the "realistic reaction" which, to "idealism and photographic realism " of the academic tradition of the 19th century, " prefer the frank realism of the Impressionists and the sincerity with which they questioned the nature.
Against the unrealism of cubists, they pose as heirs of the independent masters of the third quarter of 19th century. And Bernard Dorival strongly supports his statement by quoting our artist: "If you really like painting, you will not only ask it to be a decoration for the walls of your home, but first of all to be a food for your life interior ", thus professes Maurice Asselin who continues:" no brain combination, no theory can give birth to a work of art ... Art springs from the marveled love of life "
