Pierre Farge (1878-1947)

He was a French street painter, active in the first half of the 20th century. He mainly devotes himself to painting Parisian and landscapes.

Farge began to exhibit his works in Paris at the Salon des Tuileries in 1930 and identified with the painters of the Paris School, a group of artists who came to France in search of political, religious and artistic freedom.

Among the artists who greatly influenced Farge were Maurice Utrillo and Le Douanier Rousseau, who distinguished themselves by creating a "naive style" in painting. By flattening the surface of the image and ignoring the principles of the classical perspective, Farge succeeded in creating an innocent but childish vision of the world.

Like Utrillo, Farge sought to represent the emblematic monuments of Paris, such as the Sacré Coeur in , Notre Dame de Paris, Les Invalides and the . He used soft shades of gray, beige, brown and black, which reflect the tones of the Parisian sky and add intimacy and a poetic feel to his work. https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/pierre-farge-1878-1947-oil-on-canvas-paris-les-invalides-22406
