René Genis (1922-2004) was a French painter of Vietnamese descent, born in Hué, Vietnam. He moved to France at a young age, where he developed his artistic skills. Genis is associated with the post-war Lyrical Abstraction movement but is particularly renowned for his landscapes and still life works. His style blends the figurative with a modern sensibility, often characterized by vivid color, simplified forms, and broad brushstrokes that give his paintings a serene yet structured quality. Genis often painted scenes from nature, harbors, and the seaside, themes that are evident in his distinctive and peaceful landscapes. His works depict a balanced combination of realism and abstraction, maintaining a strong sense of place while using geometric shapes and vibrant colors to create mood and harmony. In this painting, likely of a harbor scene, Genis combines realistic elements like the boats and the water with a striking use of color and form. The blue and white tones of the boats create a sense of calm, while the softened background suggests distance and tranquility, which are hallmarks of his approach to landscapes. The sky and mountains are painted in a more abstract manner, giving the piece both clarity and emotion.
