Expert's comment: With an enthusiastic temperament, robert savary paints on the motif of subjects that breathe joy, happiness and life. Throughout his career he never ceased to be amazed by the beauty of nature and women's bodies, but also by the hidden beauty of the intimate and everyday life. He synthesizes in his painting the realism of Gustave Courbet, the impressionist touch of Claude Monet and the fauve color of Henri Matisse. His color palette is most often lively, it "breathes this beautiful disorder of the wind and the sea" (1) and gives his painting made of pleasure and radiance such a particular light. The artist paints nature and landscapes according to his travels and his places of life: Spain, Italy, Paris, Rouen, Grasse and Magagnosc where he has a house. He is fond of portraits and in particular Nude but also still lifes. Summer and Winter particularly attract him. robert savary is "one of the most beautiful shepherds of French figurative art" (2). This work will uniquely personalize the interiors of art lovers.
