Oil on canvas by Marcel METTENOHVEN (1891-1979), signed lower left
In the foreground, a figure seen from behind, and in the background, a Breton landscape
Painter from Auray (Morbihan, Brittany)
Essentially a landscape painter, inspired by Brittany, Marcel Mettenohven excels in depicting the most diverse skies, in full motion, animated by white clouds with ample swirls set in blue. He depicts these shifting skies with impasto and a particularly vigorous expressive touch that reinforces the simplification of the forms and gives them intensity.
