Landscape Painting Gabriel Arnaud 1963

Oil on canvas signature lower right Gabriel Arnaud dated 1963 representing a view of a village and its bell tower. Typical work of the artist with a lot of movement and material. Gabriel Arnaud (1920-1995) In the eyes of artists from Saint-Germain-des-Prés or the Côte d'Azur, Gabriel Arnaud may have come across as "zany" or "totally Chinese"; qualifiers fueled by sassy, provocative or humorous attitudes... However, the personality of Gabriel Arnaud that the lines of this book reveal to us is very different. Far from being a clown, this friend of Albert Bausil, Charles Trenet and Jean Cocteau reveals himself to be a poet adept at fine words and courtly, chivalrous love. His works reveal the portrait of a man tortured between his desire to offer dreams and an all-too-ordinary reality. fotmat 73/60cm
