RENOIR PIERRE-AUGUSTE: (1841-1919) French Impressionist artist. A good vintage signed 8.5 x 6.5 photograph, being a reproduction of one of the artist's still life studies featuring a fish and entitled Nature Morte au Poisson. Signed ('Renoir') in black ink with his name alone to the lower white border. Also signed by the Mayor of Cagnes beneath a short statement confirming the authenticity of Renoir's signature, dated 10th January 1911. The lower border also features the Mayor's official purple rubber stamp. Neatly mounted to a 9 x 9.5 page removed from a contemporary album. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG
In the later years of his life Renoir suffered from the crippling effects of arthritis which impacted on his work and he turned to subjects which could be executed in the studio, including still-lifes. Such paintings could be finished quickly, illustrated by the sureness of the long, gestural strokes which define the fish in the present image.
Nature Morte au Poisson, an oil on canvas, was originally owned by Renoir's cataloguer, the French art dealer Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939). Vollard, in order to avoid any future disputes regarding the authenticity of works by Renoir, had all the original paintings photographed and then asked Renoir to sign each photograph whilst being witnessed by the Mayor of Cagnes.
