Augustin Carrera, a talented, luminous painter and outstanding colorist<\/strong><\/p>\n

The influence of Fauvism, which had just died out; simplified forms, partitioned by sharply defined contours, and daring chromatic research.
\nAugustin Carrera attaches particular importance to light and tonal harmony. In our work, touches of brighter colors – orange, purplish blue and yellow -cleverly scattered across the canvas, bring contrast to this pastel-harmony scene of haymaking.<\/p>\n

Happy haymaking in the scents and light of Provence <\/strong><\/p>\n

Haymaking is a recurring theme in painting.
\nThe scene takes place at the beginning of summer, in June or July. Protected from the sun by straw hats, a farmer and two peasant women are busy cutting and harvesting hay. A cart pulled by two donkeys awaitsfor the filling. In the background, a village and mountains can be seen in the distance.
\nHuman figures and nature appear in perfect harmony, and a sense of tranquility dominates.<\/p>\n

” In his painting, Carrera has found a way to combine the boldness of the colorist with the exquisite finesse of the atmosphere<\/em>. “Bourdelle.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Augustin \u00c9mile Benoit Carrera was a French painter of Spanish origin who was born in Madrid and died in Paris.
\nAs a child, he followed his parents to Marseille, where they worked as espadrille craftsmen.<\/p>\n

Gifted for drawing from an early age, he soon entered the Beaux-Arts school in Marseille, then the Beaux-Arts school in Paris, where he became a pupil of L\u00e9on Bonnat.<\/p>\n

In galleries and museums, Carrera observed and immersed himself in the works of C\u00e9zanne, Gauguin and Seurat. But it was Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Monet and Pissaro who had the greatest influence on his work.<\/p>\n

From 1904, he exhibited at the Salons des Artistes Fran\u00e7ais, Artistes Ind\u00e9pendants and the Tuileries. He exhibit nudes, portraits, flowers, landscapes and harbor views. It is in his southern views that he shows himself to be the most ardent colorist. Carrera’s palette is astonishingly vivid, made up of bold, violent tones, a sort of fauve.<\/p>\n

In 1912, the artist was awarded the Indochina allowance. Carrera stayed in the Far East for eight months and brought back compositions with new subjects. The King of Cambodia commissioned him to create monumental panels for his palace.<\/p>\n

During a trip to Spain in the following years, Carrera had a revelation when he discovered the works of El Greco and Velasquez.<\/p>\n

On his return, he settled in Paris, in the artistic center of the Montparnasse district.
\nHe forged ties with the politician, collector and friend of painters, Albert Sarraut, who included the artist’s canvases in his collection, among the greatest.<\/p>\n

The art critic Fran\u00e7ois Thi\u00e9bault-Sisson, who followed him assiduously, enabled him to further consolidate his reputation, already acquired through exhibitions at Galerie Druet and Galerie Georges Petit.<\/p>\n

Carrera’s works become highly sought by collectors<\/p>\n

Augustin Carrera’s character was strong, proud and free, but his independent mindset didn’t prevent him from carrying out numerous state commissions.<\/p>\n

Fascinated by the theater, he frequented numerous establishments and was commissioned to create the sets for the Marseille Opera in 1924.<\/p>\n

Carrera was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1920 and an Officer in 1928.<\/p>\n
