Mid 20th Century painting of a villa at Juan Les Pins in the South of France by Swiss artist Paul Hogg. The painting is signed bottom right and titled to the top back stretcher.
A charming view of a South of France villa in the sunshine. Its characteristic architecture, crisp white facade, terracotta tiled roof and jolly yellow shutters contrasting against the lush garden full with colourful flowers. The pair of wrought iron gates, one left slightly ajar, welcoming us into the scene, and to the right of them the name of the villa on the gate pillar, L'Olivette. Hogg has created a wonderful intimate scene, possibly of his own villa, his lively brushstrokes and use of colour giving an almost impressionist style to the painting.
Born in Herisau but originally from Fribourg, Paul Hogg grew up on the banks of the Sarine before enrolling at the Cantonal Technicum. He quickly felt cramped there and, in 1910, left for Paris in the company of the painter Anton Schmid. He studied first at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, then with Fernand Cormon at the École des Beaux-Arts, in the same class as the Russian Chaïm Soutine. Hogg was made a member of the Salon d'Automne in 1924; at the same time, he exhibited regularly at both the Salon des Tuileries and the Salon des Indépendants. He also made numerous stays in Tunis, as well as in Algeria and Libya. In 1926, he married Berthe Affagard, a dramatic artist whose stage name was Simone Fargette. In 1937, he received the rank of Knight of the Order of the Alaouite Ouissam, equivalent to the Legion of Honor, for his work in Morocco. At the dawn of the Second World War, he left Paris and moved to Provence, to Sanary-sur-Mer. There he rubbed shoulders with Eugène Baboulène, Yves Brayer, Léonard Foujita. He also frequented Ossip Zadkine. However, he regularly returned to exhibit in Fribourg, notably with the local section of the Society of Swiss Painters, Sculptors and Architects, at the Salon permanent du Capitole, as well as at the Museum of Art and History.
Even before he had known North Africa and the ochre of its dunes, Hogg was already giving his colours Mediterranean accents. A painter of the sun, he uses few cold colours and gives his canvases a velvety texture that seems to result from the vibrations of light. Despite his love for the landscapes of the South, he remained attached to the canton of Fribourg, where he returned every summer, and was particularly fond of Gruyère, whose green landscapes he tirelessly painted. If his works are so intimate, it is because he prefers easel painting to large studio formats. Outside the major pictorial movements, Paul Hogg briefly tried his hand at Cubism in the wake of André Lhote, but quickly gave it up to return to a more traditional painting. He was closer to the painters of Poetic Reality, Roland Oudot, Maurice Brianchon and Jules Cavaillès. In addition to the Mediterranean and Gruyère landscapes, which he is particularly fond of, Hogg also enjoys staging still lifes and the representation of figures, self-portraits, bathers and Berber women.
