Claude-Émile SCHUFFENECKER (1851-1934) View of a suburb, 1887 Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and dedicated lower right: "To my friend Dastugue, E. Schuffenecker 1887". (Small cracks). 38 x 56 cm Provenance: Collection of the painter Maxime Dastugue (1851-1909). Given by the artist. Exhibition: Cercle des jeunes artistes, peintres et sculpteurs, 1887, 28 rue fontaine, Paris. Bibliography : Paul Heusy, "Men and things. L'Exposition des jeunes artistes", Le Radical, 2 Nivôse, year 96 (22 December 1887), p. 1. A certificate from Mrs. Jill Elyse Grossvogel, dated March 10, 2017, will be given to the purchaser. Our work exhibits a "tachist" technique, inspired by Seurat's pointillism, which Schuffenecker had discovered in La Baignade, shown at the 1884 Salon des Indépendants. From that year until 1887, the artist worked almost exclusively in tachism, particularly in his representations of landscapes and seascapes. The motif of the peasant woman working in a field can be compared with other works painted by Schuffenecker in these same years: the Anciennes Fortifications de Paris of 1888, the Laboureurs of 1888, as well as La Carriole, le matin painted in 1887 on commission from the town hall of Meudon. The presence of a high chimney in the background on the right corresponds to the field ovens then used for the production of fertilizer for the agriculture of the Paris ring. The work is dedicated to the artist Maxime Dastugue, a great friend of the painter and witness of his marriage.
