Additional photographs available upon request. ____________________________________________ Provenance: Artist’s studio Private collection By inheritance ____________________________________________ We know that Pierre Magnan-Bernard stayed in Brittany on several occasions, bringing back numerous landscapes of Locronan and the island of Bréhat from these trips. With its colored surfaces, simplified forms, and flat, matte colors, this landscape with its synthetic forms is reminiscent of certain paintings by Paul Gauguin or Paul Sérusier.
