Henri De Waroquier, Face,

Henri de Waroquier (1881-1970) is an unclassifiable artist. He begins with architecture lessons at the School of Decorative Arts, and Hellenistic lessons which will give him a taste for mythology.
He began by painting Brittany between 1900 and 1910, then met the Nabis and Cloisonnism. He will also be influenced by Cubism.
But his travels in Italy bring him a certain classicism.
He opened a studio very early in Montparnasse where he frequented Modogliani and the painters of the School of Paris.
He is also a sculptor.
This beautiful drawing dates from the end of the 1930s, and it is typical of his work, halfway between cubism and classicism.
