LOUIS ANQUETIN
AN ARTIST BORN AT THE TIME IMPRESSIONISM WAS BORN IN 1861. HE WAS ONE OF THE ARTISTS HAILED AS IMPRESSIONIST LATER BUT HIS WORK HAS BEEN WELL BELOW OTHER ARTISTS OF THE SAME PERIOD AND HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. RESULTS OF SALES OF HIS WORK AT AUCTION ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL.
I SELECT THIS PAINTING TODAY IN ORDER TO SUGGEST THAT ART INVESTMENTS ARE SOMETIMES BEHAVING WEIRDLY AND IN THE CASE OF THIS ARTIST I THINK INCOMPREHENSIVELY SO.
IS THIS WORK AT COTES BASQUES ENSHERES ONE DESERVING THE INVESTMENT. FOR AN OPTIMIST INVESTOR LIKE MYSELF YES, FOR A COOL HEADED COLLECTOR NO.
NEVERTHELESS HERE I AM PRAISING THE MERITS OF THIS PAINTING. COLOURFUL AND SORT OF FAUVISH.
