EDITORS COMMENTS
Huts Etretat, 1876" is a captivating monochrome drawing by the French artist Barbin, showcased in the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago's permanent collection. This exquisite charcoal and black pastel on ivory laid paper artwork transports us back to the picturesque coastal town of Etretat, located in Haute Normandie, France. The drawing masterfully captures the quaint charm of Etretat's traditional huts and cottages, nestled along the rugged cliffs overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The huts, with their thatched roofs and simple, rustic design, exude a sense of tranquility and timelessness. In the foreground, a small sailboat gracefully glides through the calm waters, its sails billowing in the gentle breeze. The boats and anchors scattered along the shoreline serve as reminders of the town's rich maritime heritage, while the nearby buildings and cottages hint at the bustling activity of the local fishing community. Barbin's expert use of charcoal and black pastel creates a stunning contrast between the light and dark areas, bringing out the intricate details of the huts and cottages, as well as the textures of the water and the rocky shoreline. This breathtaking artwork invites us to imagine the beauty and serenity of Etretat in the late 1800s, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring charm of rural France. The "Huts Etretat, 1876" drawing is a testament to Barbin's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in French art, coastal landscapes, or the simple pleasures of rural life.
