Marcel Dyf lived in Paris, but spent his childhood holidays in Normandy at Ault, Deauville and Trouville. He moved to Arles in 1922 where he kept a studio until the early years of the Second World War. He also took up residence from 1955 onwards in the old studio of the painter Maximilien Luce on the Avenue du Maine, Paris. After the war, he divided his time between Paris and Saint Paul-de-Vence. In 1955, the eminent London gallery Frost & Reed purchased a selection of his works, marking the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between the gallery and artist. Following his marriage to Claudine Godat, 36 years his junior in 1956 the artist and his young wife made many visits to Brittany, and particularly the Golfe du Morbihan, where Dyf found inspiration for his landscape paintings. The present work depicts a summer scene at Le Moustoir near Carnac, Brittany. Provenance: From the estate of John Wodehouse, 4th Earl of Kimberley. (1)
