WHY A FIRST SMALL REVIEW OF THE WORKS OF BLANC AUGUST PAINTER?

Here are a little while that in agreement with the family of the painter Auguste BLANC and to realize a wish, I began the census of the works of this painter. At the same time the editorial staff of a work on the work of this artist was necessary as an evidence. How to see so many different and qualitative paintings without wanting to share the feelings which they aroused in me, how not to make known better , to discover or to rediscover such a talent. Today I counted a good many of works. The more my work advances and the more I see of variety and wealth in Auguste BLANC's work. Few persons remember this simple, friendly man of all, who made so much for the painting cévenole. With some friends he created art cévenol. If one can say that there is a school of painting cévenole it is since their work. The painters cévenols current owe a lot to him. Auguste BLANC was a sincere painter.

While by painting what he loved, what he felt, what he knew and knows how again to touch our sensibility. He has never looked for glory, he painted to please and share the enjoyment in the others. It is the mark of the true talent and the poet. Some alésiens remember certain paintings of landscapes, often in very green and vague tones. Nevertheless that of variety in his palette, in its subjects. Auguste BLANC knew how as well to get the poetry of a bouquet of flowers, a landscape of autumn, children's toys abandoned for a moment by his small son Patrice LAYRE.

That soft complicity of these women taking the coffee, or to savor the moments of rest hands pressed on the stick. A painter often lets as remember the last painting that he showed to the public, one often forgets that the career was long and very varied. If I want to show some works of this painter in a first review it is so that one understands better who was Auguste BLANC, who one throws a new glance on its work. For this first small review I chose variety. Some landscapes: a sweet and brilliant snow; at the edge of a lake, a castle, in the setting sun which would have been able to be that of the big Meaulne; a simple bridge stepping over a river in multiple reflections or painter is permît all the boldnesses of touchees; trees twisted with autumn winds quite there camaïeux of warm colours...

The works of fields: haymaking time, treated way miniature, simple, true, deserving heir of the rich illuminations of the manuscripts of the Middle Age; the mas cévenol, in the evening, the old cart and cypress; the hour of the return of the crowd, against day, image of gospel; full of shouts of songs, the washerwomen, drawn just like that with agile and sure paintbrush. That of life, that of talent...

Persons: of the intimacy of this ironer in against day who looks by the window; to this child who picks a basket of flower, artless, frail in the white dress; a moment of rest and confidence under these light shades, under the sweet light of under wood; a young fiancée, spining in the prairie; for, finally, go to the rural holiday where music stirs the dresses of colour... Flowers, varied and fragrant...

Census continues, more paintings will be known and studied more it will be possible indeed to understand the artist and his work. Of every discovery, of every testimonies, in every told anecdote, the book grows rich.

This first small review is only a stage, there will be the others of it...

"Sous les grands arbres, quelques touches et des demoiselles diaphanes apparaissent
dans la fraîcheur des ombrages. Le peintre suggére, va à l'essentiel, nous dévoile
la poésie du moment.
Le peintre Auguste BLANC est un impressionniste, c'est le créateur du groupe
ART CEVENOL au début du XXeme siècle. Il fut encouragé par de très nombreux artistes
dont le sculpteur Jean CARTON et Georges ROUAULT..."
