School Of Paris "the Author, His Wife And Their Fetish"

School of Paris. Oil on canvas "THE ARTIST, HIS WIFE, AND THEIR FETISH," unsigned. Titled in a cartouche affixed to the bottom center of the frame. French School. 72.5 x 99 cm. The fetish here is not only a guinea pig, but also the flowers and the palette, which can be considered protective objects, symbols of the couple's identity. The title of our painting gives it an almost Symbolist dimension, drawing us into a dramatization of intimacy. The painter's character asserts itself to better sacralize his daily life after the traumas of the past war. A truly remarkable work in more ways than one, its iconography worthy of a great Dutch master from the Golden Age or perhaps one of the pioneers of Magical Realism in Germany around the 1930s. We can be sure that this painting will prompt art lovers to reflect on its existential future. Painted and patinated wooden frame in the Montparnasse style of the period. Good condition. 1200 euros
