Skippings Fine Arts has dated this piece to the 1960s.
It is a work by Jean-Claude Edouard, dating from the mid 1960s. Synthesist in style, it focusses on the purity of line, colour and form.
Jean Edouard was born on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, which perhaps explains his extraordinary sense of colour. He arrived on the French mainland aged 17, to study at the Montparnasse art academies , and prepare the entrance exam to the National Fine Art Academy.
Jean Edouard would later settle in Brittany, but exhibit internationally, in Germany, Switzerland, and London. In Paris, his work has been shown at the Grand Palais and in numerous private galleries. He is a member of the Taylor Foundation.
The oil on canvas presented here is a rare early work from his Parisian period. It was acquired by the previous owners in 1967. Please feel free to view our other listing for a second painting by jean Claude Edouard from the same collection.
Measuring 38 x 61 cm, it is signed at the lower right. The overall framed size in a simple natural wood box frame is 43 x 66 cm
