Dignimont (andré) - Original Gouache Signed.

DIGNIMONT (André). [Original Gouache]. Dimensions (at sight): 310 x 243 mm. Sub framework. Superb original gouache on black background with pastel highlights, depicting a delicate floral composition, signed André Dignimont. The present work denotes the artist's usual production, in fact more versed in the figuration of "milieu" than of that of still life. "The drawings of Dignimont are the crossroads where all the bad boys and the good girls are found, and these couples who grow without multiplying appear happy in the framework of his compositions". (Gaston Paris quoted in 5,000 cartoonists of the press). "Closely related to the literary milieu of his time, the artist, who exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Tuileries, fully demonstrated at the Salon de l'Spider, founded by Gus Bofa, in the precise design of renewing the art of illustration. Dignimont was pleased to evoke the "middle", that of bad boys and girls. Francis Carco underlined with enthusiasm the character of an art so close to his ". (in Bénézit).
