  • Notes: An original work in pastel on paper by Paul Masset. Created in 2010 and hand signed by the French born artist. The image measures 16 x 11 cm. In this work, entitled “The Red Sail”, Paul Masset has captured a scenic view of white and red sailed boats off the coast of Le Touquet’s beaches, sailing out to clear azure blue water in the distance, with a magnificent sky overhead. Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, commonly referred to as Le Touquet, is a commune located within the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. It lays claim to the most elegant holiday resort in all of northern France, attracting the rich and famous Parisians with luxury hotels and fashionable villas. As a result it has become known as “Paris by the Sea” and continues its popularity welcoming up to 250,000 visitors to its beautiful sandy coast line in the summer months. This artwork has been bespoke framed and glazed, with a double mount, in an attractive gold frame and with hanging attachments on the back. The framed size is 30 x 25 cm.
  • Further Information: Paul Masset, was born in 1967 and brought up just outside Paris. At the age of eight his maternal grandfather, the late Gordon Gash of Midhurst, had introduced the young Paul to painting in oils but the defining influence of his art was derived from Peter Norton (1913-1995) who founded the Cubertou Art Centre in south west France. It was here that Paul, from the age of 16, was introduced to the medium of soft pastel inspired by Peter’s friendship with Paul Maze (1887-1979). Paul quickly showed a remarkable aptitude in acquiring Maze’s freedom and vitality of execution through this medium. Like Paul Maze (who lived at Treyford), Paul Masset is a bi-lingual Frenchman with a foot on both sides of the channel. The Normandy School of impressionism (Monet; Manet; Sisely; Maze), the capturing of atmosphere through light and colour (Braque; Matisse; Derain) and their revelation through the medium of pastel (Degas; Vuillard; Delacroix) are the influences Paul Masset brings together in his love of nature, land and sea. In recent years, Paul has increasingly painted in oils and demonstrates his personal and unique sensibility in his pastel drawings and paintings of Normandy, Brittany, the South of France and West Sussex. Paul Masset has exhibited in London, Paris, Versailles, St Germain-en-Laye, Strasbourg and Chichester and many times at The Midhurst Gallery. He and his family live near Rouen.
