Summary

A garden at the height of summer. Massed dahlias and flowering shrubs fill the foreground in scarlet, orange and acid yellow, struck against emerald and viridian with violet and turquoise flicked through the foliage. Behind, the pink and red-brick houses of a Norman village show between willows and a slender fruit tree, with a church spire beyond. The work is signed Robert Pinchon. From 1923 the artist signed himself Robert A. Pinchon, adding the initial to distinguish his work from that of another painter of the same name, and the signature here places this canvas firmly in his earlier career. He painted no oils between 1914 and 1919: mobilised at the outbreak of war, wounded twice and taken prisoner in Germany from 1916 until his escape in December 1918, he worked in those years only in pastel. This belongs to the pre-war decade, when Pinchon was exhibiting with the XXX group and co-founded the Société Normande de Peinture Moderne in 1909. The colour is at its most uninhibited — pure, unmodulated, set against its complementaries — the register of the Fauve years and those immediately following. It is the finest period of his work, and the one he said the war brought to an end.
