S.J. Peploe, Luxembourg Gardens, Private Collection. Oil on board, 27 x 22 cms.
Peploe's oil sketches from about 1910, the year he moved to Paris as a newly married man, are painted with an unusual freedom. In Paris he met Van Gogh and Othon Friesz among other avante-garde artists and was inspired by their brushwork and use of colour. In his Luxembourg and Royan paintings he uses the oil paint boldly in the modern French style, experimenting with some paintings made up of shorts dabs of colour and others composed of broader areas of bold colour, inspired by Matisse and Derain (see painting of same title).
