Temps Orageux

Signed & dated “1933” (lower right)
Oil on canvas

A striking example of Henri André Joubert’s Neo-Impressionist style, Temps Orageux exemplifies the artist’s dynamic approach to pointillism. Joubert achieves a remarkable interplay of light and movement by blending Georges Seurat’s divisionist technique with a more expressive and luminous color palette. Exhibited at the prestigious Salon des Indépendants in 1933, this painting remains one of the finest surviving works from Joubert’s later period.

Rendered with meticulous dappled brushstrokes, Temps Orageux captures the tension of an approaching storm. The expansive sky, swirling with deep blues, grays and bursts of golden light, sets a dramatic stage for the landscape below. The fields and trees, bathed in contrasting hues of violet and amber, appear alive with atmospheric energy. Joubert’s masterful use of complementary colors and divisionist layering imbues the scene with an unparalleled sense of depth and vibrancy.

Henri André Joubert was a leading figure in the second generation of pointillists, following in the footsteps of Paul Signac and Henri-Edmond Cross. Unlike his contemporaries, however, Joubert infused his compositions with a heightened emotional intensity, favoring expressive brushwork over rigid scientific application. His work was widely exhibited in France, particularly at the Salon des Indépendants, where Temps Orageux was first shown in 1933. Today, Joubert’s contributions to Neo-Impressionism remain highly regarded among collectors.
