Eté au bord de la mer, 1965-1980 Pastel 45 x 61 cm
Still life is undoubtedly the genre par excellence of painting. For the artist, it is a privileged area of experimentation, often free from the constraints associated with commissioned portraits and monumental works. This still life could be viewed as a reflection on the art of drawing and painting. The objects are a pretext for the arrangement of various forms and colours.
