La folle danse is a 1960–1970 oil on board painting by Marius Bosc (born 1940) from the United States, hand-signed, original edition, sold with a bespoke frame, measuring 75 x 65 cm with the frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil on board. Hand-signed.
- When the bottles lie half-empty on the club tables, and the swing becomes the lecherous and thick on the trumpeter’s lips, the dance begins, and the intoxicated Maenads undertake the slow path of the dance with an explosive shoulder shake and fluttering hems.
- Marius Bosc inhabits that liquid border where the rigor of the Old World dissolves into the technicolor of the Pacific. Although his brush inherits the framework of European figurative vanguards — that almost architectural structure, indebted to a post-impressionism that does not fear the line — his soul is a confessed hostage of California light. It is not the grayish, wise light of the Seine, but that raw, electric, persistent glow that devours everything on the West Coast.
- Dimensions of the unframed image: 65 x 55 cm / 75 x 65 cm with exclusive custom frame.
