Fox Fine Art has dated this French Expressionist Oil Painting to the 1960s.
An ethereal painting of a pierrot with the image repeated until it fades away across the canvas. The pierrot is also shown in juxtaposition crossing in the opposite direction.
The paintings were exhibited and projected during concerts – notably Debussy, Ravel and Mussorgsky. This work was probably inspired by Claude Debussy’s song “Pierrot”
