Male Figure Reading, Oil On Canvas — Jean Aujame, 20th Century
A bearded male figure absorbed in reading, standing out against a background of vegetation rendered in broad swaths of color. The dynamic composition, built on an interplay of curves and vivid color contrasts—oranges, blues, greens—reflects Jean Aujame’s characteristic expressionist and lyrical style. The figure blends into a swirling vegetative environment rendered with generous brushstrokes.
Jean Aujame (Paris, 1905–1965), a French painter of the École de Paris and a student of Othon Friesz, exhibited regularly at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Indépendants. His works are included in several French public collections.
