Oil On Canvas

Very beautiful Oil on canvas signed Lucien Mignon 1936 "the dancer in the mirror" Student of Jean-Leon Gérôme, Lucien Mignon is a genre painter, still life, flowers and also a brilliant draftsman. he works with his friend Pierre-Auguste Renoir in Cannes-sur-mer and seeks to combine the rigor of Ingres with the specificities of impressionist color. He exhibited from 1910 at the Salon des Independants of the National Society of Fine Arts. This portrait of a woman, an intimate and poetic scene captured by the eye of an indiscreet observer, is a clever mix of inspirations. The look on the woman is at the same time that of Ingres and Renoir who both questioned the moments of intimacy of the woman. We also recognize the values of Ingres in the plot of the scene. However, this painting typically brushed in the impressionist way is from the early twentieth century, when the art of Lucien Mignon is most permeated in the manner of his illustrious elder: Renoir Table refinished, cleaned and reentoilé.
