ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953)

LE MONT - BLANC / CHAMONIX. Circa 1924.


41 1/4x29 1/4 inches, 104 3/4x74 1/4 cm. Champenois, Paris.
Condition B: repaired tears at edges, some affecting text and image; replaced losses, creases and restoration in margins; minor creases, abrasions and fading in image.

This is Broders' most ambitious and sophisticated landscape. It is a masterpiece of perspective and composition in which he skillfully presents four separate fields of depth: The couple and the rocks along the hiking trail, the silhouette of the trees, the village, and the distant mountains. Broders p. 70, Perry / Broders p. 59, Hillion p. 216.
