Original Description
Paul Emile Colin’s "Aux Bords Des Lacs" (By the Lakeside) is a captivating woodcut print that transports viewers to the serene edges of French countryside lakes in the early 20th century. Created during the peak of Colin’s involvement with the Société de la Gravure sur Bois Originale—a group championing woodcut revival—the piece reflects the lyrical realism of the École de Nancy movement. Soft, undulating lines depict tranquil waters fringed by slender trees, their reflections fractured in gentle ripples, while distant bathers or boaters suggest harmonious human engagement with nature. As one of Colin’s finest works, it bridges Art Nouveau’s organic fluidity and emerging modernist simplification, earning recognition in the 1903 Salon des Artistes Français. The subdued palette of inky blues and earthy ochres, hallmarks of Japanese woodblock influence, enhances its meditative quality, making it a quiet standout in early 20th-century printmaking.
For interior spaces, "Aux Bords Des Lacs" offers versatile charm. Its ideal scale (approximately 40x60 cm) suits intimate study corners or minimalist office walls, where horizontal compositions reinforce calm. Frame it in slender, weathered oak to echo its rustic lyricism, or opt for a black-stained floater frame for contemporary contrast. The muted blues and browns pair effortlessly with linen upholstery, mid-century walnut furniture, or Japandi-inspired interiors, while the scene’s tranquility balances high-energy workspaces. Position it opposite large windows to allow natural light to animate its textures, or group it with smaller botanical prints for a curated gallery wall. In a lakeside home, replicate its palette through indigo throw pillows or cerused wood accents, letting the art anchor the space without overpowering—a testament to Colin’s timeless balance of nature and artistry.*
