Christian Huidekoper / Charles Jacquemot / Walter Jonckheere (1924 - 1999)

Christian Huidekoper (1878 - 1939)

This Dutch painter travelled a lot and had quite a progressive

approach to landscapes and painting in general. Though I  really 

dig the elements in the landscapes themselves, his skies

more than often are done with a small quantity of paint.

It seems to be of less interest to the artist while other

elements are forcefully done. nonetheless, his way of

painting moves me one way or another. Oil on canvas.

Dimensions: 47 / 62 cm.

Allmost opposed to his way of painting is this "fragile" signature

that can be found in a similar way on othger paintings as well.

Painted in the south of Europe.  The Mills of Benalosa and 

Sain Juan near alcala de Guadaira, Spain (1926)

Huidekoper worked in Italy, France and in Maroc as well. 

Again the sky is not that important to him.

And another work of this artist who has very divergent

sales results with his paintings. The priciest work being

around € 1000,-  There is a Geertruida Huidekoper

who could have been his mother, I don't know.

She made some very expensive still lifes but in the

19th century style while Christian did this with a 

more expressionistic approach.

Charles Jacquemot (1879 - 1946)

Charles Jacquemot is a french painter who developed

himself towards a post impressionistic style. His colours

at that time reminds me a bit of Cezanne. Oil on canvas.

Dimensions 50 / 61 cm.

This painting surely has some interesting auction numbers

before it "landed' in a household auction where I bought

it. The following numbers can be found on the frame:

94/2049   -   852 (stickers) and the numbers 128 and

546 (in chalk) The number 128 points towards Auction

House Campo in Antwerp where it has been sold in 2010.

The number 546 points towards the same auction house

when this painting was sold for € 1482,-

Walter Jonckheere

Being a policeman for his profession this Brugge based belgium painter

made a lot of city views, mostly in Brugge (Belgium) but marines

as well. Though not all parts are that strong, his colours are

really catching and his work has a lot of atmosphere.

Very hard to photograpgh this signature.

This work has been dated 1955.

Jonckheere, who has been documented in the Paul Piron,

was one of the so called post impressionists.
