Post Lot Text

Véritable redécouverte, le présent ensemble d’œuvres d’Albert Marquet est resté à l’abri des regards dans la collection familiale de l’un des proches de l’artiste.
Pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, alors que le peintre part pour Alger avec son épouse Marcelle, le couple demande à leur ami et cousin, Louis Martinet, de gérer leurs affaires à Paris.
Convoqué plusieurs fois rue de Rivoli par les services secrets allemands – Goering appréciait particulièrement Marquet – Louis Martinet parvient à déplacer les toiles de l’artiste et les met à l’abri jusqu’à la fin de la guerre.
Témoignage précieux de l’histoire qui a lié ces deux familles, les présents tableaux ont été offerts par le peintre en remerciement à la fin de la guerre à la famille Martinet.
Alors que Le Port de l’Agha est manifeste de la lumière chatoyante de cette région si chère à l’artiste, la Sainte-Chapelle sous la neige, incarne toute la douceur de la palette et l’esthétique épurée que Marquet a gardé tout au long de sa vie.

A significant rediscovery, this collection of works by Albert Marquet has remained hidden from public view in the family collection of a close friend of the artist.
During the Second World War, when the artist departed for Algiers with his wife Marcelle, the couple asked their friend and cousin, Louis Martinet, to manage their affairs in Paris.
Summoned several times to rue de Rivoli by the German secret service – Goering was particularly appreciative of Marquet – Louis Martinet succeeded in moving the artist’s paintings and hiding them until the end of the war.
These paintings, which are valuable evidence of the long-standing bond between these two families, were given by the painter to the Martinet family at the end of war, by way of thanks.
While Le Port de l’Agha clearly illustrates the shimmering light of this region so dear to the artist, Sainte-Chapelle sous la neige exemplifies the delicate palette and pared-down aesthetic that Marquet retained throughout his life.
