Marguerite Bermond -

Large oil on canvas signed lower left by Marguerite Bermond, depicting a stylized hunter accompanied by an important plant decoration and game presented as a still life.

This highly decorative modernist composition is a perfect illustration of French painting from the 1950s-1970s, with remarkable knife-work and powerful impastos. The palette of ochres, deep greens, blacks and turquoise blues lends the ensemble a strong, highly contemporary visual presence.

The figure treated in an almost cubist manner contrasts with the abundance of vegetation and luminous touches in the foreground, creating a work that is at once raw, poetic and architectural.

"The Hunter"
