Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Bénodet et Sainte-Marine sont de véritables paradis pour les plaisanciers...

"Départ vers le grand Large". Une peinture à l’huile sur toile qui offre une vue de l’embouchure de l’Odet, encore appelée « rivière de Quimper », depuis la rive droite où s’est installé le hameau et port de Sainte-Marine.

En arrière plan sur l’autre rive s’élève le phare du Coq, qui doit son nom à un rocher près duquel il a été construit et dont la silhouette rappelait celle d’un coq. Et sur la gauche du phare s’étend l’une des plages de Bénodet, la plage… du coq bien sûr ! Une plage discrète, modeste et familiale, qui offre cette inlassable vue sur l’Odet, son trafic de plaisanciers et de pêcheurs, et les rivages boisés de Sainte-Marine !

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Henri Le Goff

France

Henri Le Goff is a self-taught professional painter, born in 1946 in the Quimper region (Finistère). From his childhood, he was passionate about drawing and painting.

He organized his first exhibitions in 1967-1968 in Wissembourg, Seltz, Soufflenheim and Haguenau, where he was noticed. After a short interruption for professional reasons, he resumed his artistic activities in 1982 and never left them since then.

He paints on the motif as in his studio. He mainly works with oil painting, which offers him the pleasure of material, light and an infinitely rich palette, but does not neglect gouache and watercolor. His subjects are resolutely figurative: he likes to represent what he sees, letting himself be guided by his emotions and his naturalness. For him, painting is intended to be color, luminosity, richness of drawing and balance of the subject.

He has always had a particular attraction to maritime landscapes: seascapes, in all their forms, it is true that they make up the bulk of his work. Sensitive to the world of the sea, full of admiration for illustrious predecessors like the official painters of the Navy Albert Brenet, Marin-Marie, Mathurin Méheut, Roger Chapelet, Jean Rigaud and many others, he is happy in his turn , to be able to bring, very modestly, a testimony of his time on this oh so fascinating environment!

For around twenty years until 2016, he anchored in the small port of Sainte-Marine in the commune of Combrit, where he ran his personal gallery in the summer season. He has won prizes in regional or national exhibitions and competitions (Châteauneuf du Faou, Briec de l’Odet, Douarnenez, Chartres, Argol, Loctudy, Quimper, Roscoff, Bénodet, Pont-Croix). It has been selected several times at the Salon de la Marine (Paris). Since October 2012, he has been a painter at the Academy of Maritime Arts and Sciences.
