French Mid 20th Century oil on board, fauvist view of olive trees in a landscape, probably near Nice in the South of France and the surrounding countryside, by Hyppolite Roger. To the reverse is another painting of a river winding through a landscape by the same artist. Signed bottom left. A wonderful, vibrant and colourful painting of a provencal landscape. Roger has used energetic colour and a great sense of perspective as the eye is taken through the image to the mountains beyond. Thickly applied paint and a host of colours give texture and great depth to this painting. The light is especially well painted, the distant hills are slightly moody under intermittent light rain whilst a patch of yellow field has caught the full majesty of the provencal sun in the foreground.
