L. Peyrat, (1911-1999), Village, Oil On Canvas Signed, Dated 1953

Beautiful Oil on canvas representing the "village" of Montmartre ?, dated 1953, by the painter Louis Peyrat. Louis Peyrat was born in 1911 in Saint Germain les Belles in Haute Vienne. Painting was first of all a passion for him to which he did not devote himself definitively until 1934. He was then exhibited in Paris in 1958, when he began to paint the Parisian districts and in particular that of Montmartre, this which will then give a great boost to his career. He then exhibited in many galleries where his works would rub shoulders with those of great artists of the time, such as Picasso, Domergue, Foujita ... Victim of an accident in 1963, he stopped painting in 1969 and retired to his village native where he lived comfortably until his death in 1999. The painting is framed in a beautiful blue and gold wooden frame.
