OIL ON CANVAS 146X114cm dated 50 on the back and annotated "Salon de mai". RARE PERIOD
THIS IS THE ARTIST'S FIRST POST-CUBIST PERIOD, DURING WHICH HE FREQUENTED LEON GISHIA. HE LATER ADOPTED A GESTURAL STYLE OF WRITING. WORKS FROM THIS PERIOD ARE VERY RARE ON THE MARKET. STRONG DECORATIVE POWER!
born December 10, 1914 in Montpellier, Hérault, France; Beaux-arts de Paris; lives in Eygalières, Bouches-du-Rhône.
Presentation: Figurative, postcubist and abstract* non-figurative. He paints in the gratuity of construction, tumbling informal geometries in vivid colors in counterpoint to pales and black-and-whites. In the mid-1990s, he became a cousin of Estève*, but his forms are less evenly rounded, with geometries that interfere with the transparency of water lilies and more violent colors, highlighted by blacks. He expresses the ardor with which he paints.
The work is estimated at 450 numbers.
