Henri Laulhé, H. Laulhé
French Painter of Basque and Mediterranean Harbours
Henri Laulhé (1908–1978) was a French painter of the coast. His name is bound to the Basque country — the harbours of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure, the church of Guéthary, the fishing fleet of the Bay of Biscay — and to the ports of the Mediterranean, above all Saint-Tropez, where he painted the quay below the church tower in the tradition of Signac, Marquet and Camoin.
He worked in a solid, luminous Post-Impressionist manner, the paint applied in firm strokes, the colour of hulls and house-fronts set against calm, reflective water.
Laulhé exhibited in the regional salons of the South-West and his paintings pass regularly through the auction rooms of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Bayonne. Boats at the quay, church towers above a harbour and the light of the southern coast remain the subjects by which he is known.
His works are held in private collections in France and Spain.
