Maurice de Vlaminck’s Painting Available in Crescent City Auction Gallery’s Upcoming Event

Maurice de Vlaminck’s painting titled Country Road is a key lot in the first session of the Important Summer Estates Auction, offered by Crescent City Auction Gallery. One of the most prolific French artists of the 20^th century, Maurice de Vlaminck’s works are primarily associated with the Fauvism art movement. He frequently experimented with thick daubs of bold colors and spontaneous brushstrokes. “I heightened all the tones, I transposed in an orchestration of pure colors all the feelings I could grasp,” he once stated. The offered oil painting depicts a landscape view of a country road. 

The upcoming event will offer over 450 lots, including jewelry and furniture pieces. One featured item is an American Rococo Revival overmantel mirror from the 19^th century. Rococo emerged in France in the 1720s and 30s. Often regarded as the final expression of Baroque, this style features attention to detail, asymmetry, and ornamentation. The available lot features scrolled leaf and floral motifs. Visit Bidsquare to register to bid on any of these items.
