Broad, unctuous strokes of paint set in a thick material, brushes and brushes dancing on the canvas to the sound of color for this work by the most expressionist of Provencal artists, Antoine Ferrari.
This oil on panel in perfect original condition is offered in a modern frame measuring 68 cm by 80 cm and 54 cm by 65 cm for the canvas alone.
It depicts a still life with a basket, treated with the ardor and energy usual to this great artist.
It is signed lower right.

A student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Marseille, he gave up the security of his father's trade as a tailor.
This choice led him to break with his family.
At seventeen, he left for Paris with two fellow sculptors, Morenon and Cadenat.
To survive, he worked in a theatrical scenery workshop, which enabled him to attend the Beaux Arts in Paris.
He began exhibiting in Marseille in 1928, with the Jeune Peinture du moment at Guibert.
The following year, he met Pierre Ambrogiani.
From 1930, his hometown subsidized his studies in Paris.
In 1937, he was awarded the Abd-el-Tif Prize, a scholarship that enabled him to spend two years in Algiers, where he acquired his frank expression of color.
From his early days in Paris, he also admired Soutine, whose studio he took over on rue Saint Gothard, notably in tel éclat rouge or sermentin vert.
Landscapes play an important role in his work, as do the seascapes of the Vieux Port, but he does not neglect portraiture, for which he has a predilection.
Similarly, large-scale nudes, brilliant bouquets and still lifes can be found at every stage of his work.
His gestures, which after long reflection take off like a whip, make him an impulsive painter, undoubtedly the most expressionist of contemporary Provençals.
Van Dongen admired his talent and had him admitted to the Salon d'Automne in 1927.

In 1937, he obtained the Abd-el-Tif Prize, a residency grant which allowed him to spend two years in Algiers; there it acquires its frank expression of color.
Furthermore, from his Parisian beginnings, he retains an admiration - particularly in such red flashes or green oaths - for Soutine, whose workshop he took over, rue Saint Gothard.
The landscape plays a large part in his work as do the seascapes of the Old Port, but he does not neglect portraiture for which he has a predilection.
Likewise, large nudes, dazzling bouquets and still lifes are found in each period of his work.
His gesture, which after long reflection comes off like a whip, makes him an impulsive painter, undoubtedly the most expressionist of the Contemporary Provençals.
Van Dongen, admiring his talent, had him admitted to the Salon d'Automne in 1927.
