Chapelain-midy "still Life With Pineapple And Pomegranate", French School - Poetic Reality
Artist: Roger Chapelain-midy (1904-1992)
A beautiful radiance emanates from this gouache created in the 1970s by the painter Chapelain-Midy.
Around a plate containing pineapple, orange, pomegranate and lemon segments, areas of intense color interact : a royal blue with a raspberry red, in contact with an orangey pink, bordered by a variegated fabric and a white page.
Here, Chapelain-Midy composes a powerful and shimmering work inspired, as often, by 17th-century still lifes.
