"Pierre Jourda Old Painting Self Portrait Cubism Toulouse 1950 Expressionist"
A beautiful, powerful and angular portrait, painted in shades of blue and gray, depicts Pierre Jourda (1931–2007), painter, art theorist and professor at the Toulouse School of Fine Arts. His face is treated with great formal rigor in a style reminiscent of modernized cubism, with dynamic touches and geometric flat tints. The work is distinguished by a limited but expressive palette, where each brushstroke contributes to an almost architectural construction of the face.
The combined use of gouache and watercolor brings effects of material and transparency. Technique: Gouache and watercolor on paper Dimensions: 65 x 50 cm Period: Circa 1950s Signature: “JOURDA” (bottom right)
