HERBO Fernand ( 1905 - 1995 ) - Oil on Canvas Painting
Est: $6,000 - $7,000
HERBO Fernand ( 1905 - 1995 ) Honfleur and its port. Oil on canvas signed lower left. 60 x 81 cm Certificate of authenticity. Fernand HERBO, Born on 18 March 1905 in Orchies - Died on 21 August 1995 (aged 90). Fernand Herbo was a painter from Montmartre established in Honfleur (Calvados), born in Orchies in 1905, and died in Honfleur in 1995. In his youth in Montmartre, Fernand Herbo created posters, theatre and film sets, and rubbed shoulders with the painters Maurice de Vlaminck and Othon Friesz. In 1938, Herbo left Paris and settled permanently in Honfleur. His work, powerful and imbued with dark colours, dedicated to the sea, boats and ports, earned him the title of painter to the French Navy in 1944. It was from this date that the traditional anchor of the painters of the Navy was affixed to his signature. In 1945, the State acquired his work Le quai de Jemmapes (1942), and assigned it to the Musee National d'Art Moderne du Centre Georges-Pompidou. In the early 1950s, Fernand Herbo met the French gallery owner and poet Katia Granoff, who exhibited him in her new gallery in Honfleur. Katia Granoff, a great talent scout (she exhibited and revealed Marc Chagall and Othon Friesz, among others, and promoted the rediscovery of Claude Monet's Water Lilies series) thus introduces the ecole de l'Estuaire de la Seine, of which Fernand Herbo is one of the representatives. Fernand Herbo opened the Bar des Artistes in Honfleur in 1952 (now the Bistrot des Artistes) in Honfleur, the ceiling of which was entirely decorated by Herbo and above which his studio is located. The Bar des artistes then became a meeting place for Honfleur's painters. Fernand Herbo is responsible for more than 1,000 works, mainly oil paintings and watercolours. The city of Honfleur paid tribute to him by naming one of its quays after him. He died in 1995, and several of his works are exhibited at the Eugene-Boudin Museum in Honfleur, where a room bears his name. The town of Honfleur has given its name to a quay in the city. The Eugene-Boudin Museum in Honfleur holds 23 paintings by Fernand Herbo.

Fernand Herbo (1905 - 1995) - Honfleur and Its Port
Est: $18,000 - $22,000
A captivating oil on canvas by Fernand Herbo, measuring 60 x 81 cm, signed lower left. This painting, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, highlights Herbo’s distinctive style rooted in powerful compositions and rich, dark color palettes depicting the bustling port of Honfleur. Fernand Herbo was born in Orchies in 1905 and spent his formative years in Montmartre, where he worked on posters, theater and film sets, and mingled with notable artists like Maurice de Vlaminck and Othon Friesz. After settling permanently in Honfleur in 1938, Herbo devoted his art to maritime subjects, earning the prestigious title of “Peintre Officiel de la Marine” (Painter of the French Navy) in 1944. His works were acquired by national institutions, such as the Musée National d’Art Moderne (Centre Georges-Pompidou), and were championed by the influential gallery owner Katia Granoff, who exhibited him among leading artists of the time. In 1952, Herbo opened the Bar des Artistes in Honfleur, decorating its ceiling and establishing a vibrant gathering place for local creatives. With more than 1,000 paintings and watercolors to his name, he remains a central figure in Honfleur’s artistic heritage; today, a quay in Honfleur bears his name, and the Eugene-Boudin Museum exhibits many of his works, dedicating an entire room to his legacy.
