Her work, marked by a great sensitivity to light, is distinguished by a harmonious palette and a keen sense of composition.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eKnown for her floral still lifes and landscapes, she worked in both oil and watercolor, always with a constant search for transparency and balance. She exhibited regularly in the major Parisian salons, and her works are now held in numerous private collections in France and abroad.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis watercolor is a highly elegant decorative piece, emblematic of Marie-Louise Ogier's delicate and luminous art. It will appeal to lovers of refined floral compositions and poetic painting.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe opinion of GALERIE POPINCOURT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis watercolor clearly falls within the Post-Impressionist sensibility that we favor at the gallery. In it, Marie-Louise Ogier explores the simplicity of the subject as a pretext for a remarkable luminous and chromatic investigation. In the 1970s, the artist favored this refined approach where color becomes the primary expression of pictorial emotion. What particularly captivated us, beyond the mastery of the wash and light, is the rare choice of this 1000gsm paper. This exceptionally dense support gives the watercolor a physical presence and a vibrant materiality that transforms the delicacy of the white tulips into a powerful and timeless graphic art object.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Marie-Louise Ogier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: White Tulips in a Red Vase (Original title inscribed by the artist's hand on the reverse)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Private collection, sourced directly from the artist's studio (France)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e: Circa 1970\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e: Watercolor on art paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-density pure cotton paper \"1000gsm\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 59.5×44 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Signed “Ogier” lower right\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Excellent state of conservation, remarkable freshness of the original pigments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e: Due to the exceptional thickness and noble rigidity of its 1000gsm support, this work cannot be rolled.
