Jean Dorville : "the Bay At The Foot Of The Mountains"

Jean Dorville (1901-1986): "A bay at the foot of the mountains", oil on canvas 54 X 65 cm, unframed, signed and dated 54. Oxidized varnish, small accidents at the top in the middle. The fauvist accents of this painting, close to Othon-Friesz or Manguin, allow us to imagine what it will look like cleaned and restored… A versatile artist, he painted, drew, illustrated and lithographed, working alternately for fashion and for the theatre. A few years earlier, in 1927, he published a collection of poems illustrated with cubist gouaches prefaced by Max Jacob, excuse the little!
