Oil on canvas, 61 x 46 cm. Circa 60 cm. Landscape of the Corbières.
This is a beautiful figurative work bordering on abstraction.
He was a delicate observer of the landscapes of the Corbières, among others, which he presents to us in a form of abstract impressionism, enhanced by an impressive and admirable technique. (Mastery of color schemes, refined gradations with a knife, a keen sense of composition in the choice of format....) Looking at his paintings is like contemplating a piece of raw emotion.
The presidential couple Pompidou, Baroness de Rothschild, Jeanne Matossian, and Jeanne Castel (a famous Parisian gallery owner) all collected his works, held him in high esteem, and appreciated his great qualities.
Many museums preserve the works of this little-known artist, who has nevertheless benefited from numerous tributes and retrospectives. A very beautiful painting!!
